I would love to know what you guys are reading this month. You can share here!

I don't really read books to fit the theme of the month a lot of times, (the only exception being Christmas season XD!) so this month I am re-reading the Keeper of the Lost Cities series and I am reading for the first time (drum roll!) Fablehaven the first book was a little underwhelming to me, given how much my dad had talked about how AWESOME it was (he is a p i c k y reader!) but now, on the third book, MAN it just keeps getting bigger.
Sorry if I went on a little long, I'm just feeling extra giddy today!

[Ella Meylin]

hello Natalie! I have been wanting to read fablehaven for a long time. should I read it?

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

YES!!! The first book is a little slow, but once you get past that, it's g r e a t ! Especially the 2nd book, in the first book I could predict most of what would happen, but in the 2nd, I was surprised several times! A great turn on the series!

Hii!! It's 2019 which means the new book by Scott Westerfeld just came out this month, so that's what i'm reading right now. But i'm really also super excited because i'm planning on starting the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi After!

[Morgan]

This month I'm reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (this one will take a while), The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World by Peter Wohlleben (again), aaaand lastly Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson. Yeah I have a lot going on I expect to be reading some of these through November as well. This is very classic heavy so I am also reading Cold Comfort Farm: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation by Stella Gibbons to mix it up.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a rough read for me mostly because I detest betrayal stories. Why I chose to read a classic betrayal story is beyond me. I love the movie which I hear is nothing like the book, and so far that is proving to be true.

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

So-so. But, I guess I'm not really the one to ask about that because a l o t of books make me cry.... so.... yeah!

[Ella Meylin]

[Morgan]

Guys and dolls I'm not going to lie I pretty much put all the others on hold because I love to read the Harry Potter series around this time of year. I have once again picked it up. I'm such a Potter nerd 😁

[Ella Meylin]

I know alot of people won't like this, sorry Morgan.
but I don't like at all like harry Potter. just my personal opinion, and taste.

[Abi]

OOOOOOH! U SHOULD TOTALLY READ ALCATRAZ VS THE EVIL LIBRARIANS!!!!!!

But that is the only book of his I have read, so after I'm done with the Keeper of the Lost Cities and Fablehaven series', I'm going to read Steelheart series!

[Ella]

I don't think I've ever heard of Sanderson. He seems good. I also am starting on Gertie Milk #2 and Chris Colfers latest novel, A Tale of Magic

[Ella Meylin]

[Properchica90]

I just finished reading Cilka's Journey and An Anonymous Girl. I'm currently reading No Exit.

[Ella]

The new novel is about a girl named Brystal Evergreen. It's way back in time compared to the other books, but I just finished it today. I have to say, I LOVED IT!

[Ella Meylin]

I really want to read it

No worries! That is the great thing about differing tastes. So what was it that you didn't like about the series? I'm always curious about these kind of things. Was it the writing style, the genre, the story, all of the above?

Sorta all of the above. I just don't like that wizard, magic stuff. And i'm not a fan of the author. But that is just my opinion.
