Review: This one was actually so boring. Nothing happened. The 5th Wave was so action-packed and adventurous, and then this was really boring. I do like the way Yancey swaps words around though, the way he plays with the language and uses lots of detail and adjectives. Keeps me thinking. I like the multiple POV, and also the way (view spoiler) I like how Ringer played such a big part in this, and so much of the book was from her position. I kind of didn't understand how and when (view spoiler) Also, I thought that (view spoiler) Also the fact that (view spoiler) which was really surprising!
How are we looking for this week ladies?

I loved this book and am so glad I read it closer to the release of the next one in the series. I did this one on audio and it brought it all to life for me. Shahrzad was my fav character and I loved her throughout the book. I loved finding out more about Khalid and why he does what he does too. I cant wait to get to the next one and to see what happens next.

Review:
I read the first Percy Jackson book about a year ago and wasn't too excited about it. I was told that this series, Heroes of Olympus, while by the same author, was a 100 times better. Sadly, it felt like I was reading the same book. I really liked the characters Jason, Piper and Leo. They really made the story interesting. There were some scenes I really enjoyed and the way their different strengths complimented each other was enjoyable. However, the dialogue and the "out of the frying pan into the fire" was so redundant that I just lost interest. I wish I could say that it's because it's middle grade type reading but I loved Harry Potter and I adored Fablehaven and InkHeart and The Alchemyst series. I think Riordan is just not the author for me. It wasn't horrible but I have no interest in continuing the series.
Awesome! Brenna still hasn't got hers in yet :/
Which spot will we likely be on next week? A 60-something? Bummer probably still a 50-something.

Ive seen the movie befor i read the book which i rarely ever do and the book, as always, took the gold. The story itself is so creative and the characters are described so well that they jump off the page. Iv never seen or read any other book in the series but ifeel like i definitely will

Wow, I expected this book to be super cliche and no different from other YA books I've read lately, but I'm glad to say I was pleasantly surprised! I felt like the character development was done really well, it felt like the characters and interactions going on could have been real and all the implications with Annas friends were handled really well with her being able to patch things up. I would definately reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys YA romance-type books!
Wow good on ya Brenna for getting it in :D
We rolled a 9 which puts us on spot 60. 6th in a series, 60th in a series, Standalone or alternate: Title "S". Have a great weekend!

Review: Wooooow typical Colleen Hoover book :D Just amazing. About the first half was kind of meh, but then oh wow everything started happening at once! It was such an emotional serious read, and I feel like it would be really hard to read if you'd been in a violent relationship. But it was so worth the read. The end this time had me crying my eyes out. I really had no idea what to expect, had no idea which way Lily was going to go. At the start, I never expected her to (view spoiler) I couldn't believe (view spoiler)

Review:
OMG. This book shattered my heart into hundreds of little pieces. I am so glad I read this book. It is not a "fun" story but it is beautiful and sad and so real. Little Bee is a Nigerian girl who has escaped her country to the UK. She begins to tell her story from inside of a detention center where they hold illegal refugees. Sarah is a British journalist whose life crosses with Little Bees life while vacationing in Nigeria with her husband Andrew. The story of the three of them and their impact on each other's lives is so profound and beautiful and tragic. Great story.
I finished my book will get my review up soon.

This book was different but in a good way. I loved the main character even though she was dead. The plot kept me hooked and I couldn't wait to figure out who was behind it all. The author keeps you in suspense the whole time and I really was guessing until the end.

Review:
While the warriors series is super nostalgic to me since I've been reading it for a long time, this is probably my least favorite super edition. I really like the characters and how it gives a look into a different clan than the one the main series are written in and it does have a good message about forgiveness and going home. The story is also interesting but the beginning can be a bit slow. (view spoiler) Overall, even though it isnt my favorite it still was a good booo and I would definately reccomend it to anyone who reads the warriors series.
Steph how are you looking for this week?

The book itself was good and kept my attention but the ending was very predictable to me. I liked the writkng style i just didnt like being able to guess what was happening next and being right about it
Sorry about that guys i had an early shift today and fell asleep before i had a chance to post my review
Ok team, we rolled a 3. This puts us on spot 63. 6th in a series; 3rd in a series, 63rd in a series or alternate: Best Book Ever
I will read
on the best book ever list
I will get us linked up and spot posted asap
Hhhhmmm alright 6th or 3rd? Or best books ever? This could be tricky... Can I count a book in the same series as one of the best books ever?
Only if that particular one is on the Best Books Ever list.
So I can't count The Crown (The Selection #5) if The Selection is on the list?
Oh my gosh I might need to fit in either The Temptation (#6) or Yellow Brick War (#3) this week, and I already have no time as it is :/
Alright I'll start The Temptation today. I really totally forgot about fitting one of these books in each week :/ I'm so stressed from reading right now.
Im going to read
from the Best Book Ever list
Wow Brenna I thought you said you'd be reading little books from now on so that you'd get them finished. Eragon is definitely not a little book, especially considering we only have around another 4 days to finish our books :/

Review: This book was pretty good. I read it real fast, all in 1 day, and I only read for around 2.5 hours yesterday. So I was pretty pleased with that :) Plot-wise, the book was kind of boring, but these books definitely aren't masterpieces, so I got what I expected I suppose. Glad that I finally made it to the end of the series. Surprised that there actually weren't (view spoiler) And as usual Cassie just really annoyed me with the whole (view spoiler) I also really hate Scarlett how she (view spoiler) Glad that (view spoiler) That was really nice :) And I liked the old man too, Timothy Dent or whatever his name was.
I'm doing a relisten of
for best books ever list. I'm halfway through will be done tomorrow.
Okay so I'm the only one who's finished the book for this week so far? We have a lot more reviews to get in in 23 hours.
