Well kinda, I love timetravell books. (most of the timetravel books I have read have become my fave) all Our yesterdays on the other side, did not like it. AT ALL.
But a lot of other People do.

*gasp* I loved More Than This! Although not as much as Chaos Walking, but I don't know if anything can top that series for me. :D

Ahh I didn't know the All Our Yesterdays sequel was canceled. That's kind of a relief, actually. I really liked the ending and was pretty skeptical when I saw there was supposed to be a sequel.

Hope you like Midnighters! I haven't read it in a long time but it was one of my favorite series in middle school. :)

I thought I had only read one or two Pendragon books, but apparently I've read five of the ten. I should finish that.

P.S. Did you guys know DJ MacHale wrote for Are You Afraid of the Dark? God, I want that show back.

These all have a bit..."

Yes, I should stress that I'm not at all looking for a story devoid of romance. I love romance in a story, I just like it as more of a side dish to the rest of the plot rather than what the plot revolves around.

Thank you so much for these btw :)

[Tommy]

Hmm. All of these look good, but surprisingly Midnighers is the one intriguing me the most. I say surprisingly because I would likely not look twice at the cover if I was in a bookstore. It also sounds semi-similar to a story I plan on writing, so I'd like to read it and make sure I'm not unintentionally ripping it off haha.

[Heidi]

Keep us updated if you read any Tommy.

[Brigid ✩]

Yeah the newer Midnighters covers are pretty terrible. The original covers were a bit better (at least, they were less paranormal romance-esque, haha). But they're super cool! Very interesting concept and good characters. :)

I definitely will. Some of these I'll read for sure, just a matter of when(I think Insignia has been on my list for at least a year haha).

Awesome, thanks! I'm sure I'll like it, I've liked all his books :)

Yeah, Cristin Terrill made an extremely hard but brave decision to cancel the sequel. She tried writing it a few times, but nothing felt right. I can't imagine how difficult the decision must've been, but her readers have been so supportive :)

ODA: Yea, I think eventually it became a YA, but it's still in my MG shelf in my bookstore.

TOMMY: I only have two more books left. and YES, I knew he wrote them. I totally agree that it should come back. I loved that show, especially with the doll and dollhouse. ACK!

The midnighters was ok for me. I just read the first one tho.

I just checkd out are you afraid of the dark on imdb, turns out I have seen it too. For some reason I thought it was a swedish production, but yes I remember watching it when I was 10-12.

[Heidi]

Are You Afraid of the Dark was after my time I am afraid. I'm old!

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

some of the episodes are on youtube ^_^ If you want to check it out

[Heidi]

Ok thanks Bluemoon

[Tommy]

It's a fun show. Little cheesy most of the time, but some episodes are surprisingly good. M. Night Shyamalan credits one of the episodes as his inspiration for The Sixth Sense.

[Heidi]

I watched a little bit of an episode! All I have to say is "Holy shoulder pads!" hahahaha I was trying to move beyond those years!

[Jenny]

Shoulder Pads!!!!! LOL I always hated those things, they looked horrible on me! I always cut them out of my jackets and dresses.

[Heidi]

Me too Jenny! They were not made for short people (or anyone for that matter :) !

Weirdly enough, I always thought shoulder pads on jackets looked better on dudes haha. Specifically taller skinny dudes. I used to sing/play in bands, and this guys who sang in a band I played with a lot rocked shoulder pads. Made him look like a living Tim Burton character haha.

[Heidi]

Yeah - men could pull them off better Tommy.

[Jenny]

LOL Tommy!

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

Thank God I wasn't old enough to even wear them! 80's fashion was a hit and miss! I hope shoulder pads doesn't make a come back!

in no particular order

[bookcover:Thieftaker|11577576..."

I need to keep this list in mind as I trawl my shelves each month lol. Read Cracked and really liked it!

[Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse]

The series I would at least like to get a start on are Cassandra Clare's "The Mortal Instruments" and Veronica Roth's "Divergent." The ones I would like to finish are Lauren Destefano's "The Chemical Garden Trilogy" and Becca Fitzpatrick's "Hush, Hush" series.

[Heidi]

Both MI and Divergent were series that most everyone loved but me. I didn't even finish MI. It was too wordy - reminded me of Twilight, which I was not a fan of either. I am guessing if you like Hush Hush you might be a fan of it though. I can be pretty picky so don't mind my ramblings!

[Ashley Marie]

ughhh I've still only read Cracked so far this year lol. Excited for Monstrumologist in a few months though!

Heidi, I couldn't get more than a few pages into City of Bones, it just did not hold my interest. I managed the whole of Divergent but wasn't a fan either lol

[Heidi]

Always good to know I am not on my own little island with my thoughts sometimes Ashley :)
