I just read, and I recommend....

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

I don't know what Ikr means, but I think it's good.

I didn't expect Finnikin to be so good. I said (in my review) that even I was proud to be Lumateren (or whatever they were). That was one book where I would have loved a sequel. Yep, Finn was flawed but so likable.

lol!I didn't expect it to be that great either... I just picked it up because I was bookless at the time... :)

[Lisa]

Is Finnikin the first in a series or a stand alone novel? I will have to pick it up, it appears to have lots of good reviews!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Lisa it is a stand alone novel as far as I know. And yes, you MUST read it.

[Lisa]

Great!! Thanks, Peep!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

No problem, let us know how much you like it. Now I want to reread it. I wonder if there are any other books like that??

I have that one from the library to read soon :)

[Rosabelle]

Heidi I wrote: "I just finished and highly recommend the audiobook version of this book. I loved the narrator :)"

Loved this book...

[Isamlq]

Lisa wrote: "Great!! Thanks, Peep!"

Peep is right... you MUST read it.... :)

[Milly]

I highly recommend Finnikin of the Rock especially if you enjoy books such as Graceling.

[Isamlq]

Also try Alibrandi.. :)

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

MILLY: Yep! Oh, but Finnikin is tons better than Graceling, totally blows it out of the water (admittedly though, they aren't similar).

ROSABELLE: Now I think I have to give that book another try. Never finished it the first time around

HEIDI I: Hop to it!

[Heidi]

Peep I plan to start it tonight. Soon enough for you?

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Hows about after I finish this post?

[Heidi]

Oh geez. There is just no pleasing you is there? Well now I'm off to talk to my counselor about why I never feel good enough. *sigh*

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

You've seen that commercial where the ex-drill sergeant is a therapist? *Throws tissue at Heidi*

[Helene]

I highly recommend Divine by Mistake - could not stop reading, and I love the main character Shannon :)

[Heidi]

I second (or third) the recommendation for .

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

I knew you'd like it!! Have you read On the Jellicoe Road yet?

[Heidi]

Peep wrote: "I knew you'd like it!! Have you read On the Jellicoe Road yet?"

No. I am afraid to.

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Heidi, I recommend it. It took me a long time to understand what was going on, but I still kept reading. Then I couldn't put it down. I loved it. It was just so good. Seriously, you should read it and don't give up on it! It was so sad and so good at the same time.

I requested it from my Library.

[Courtney]

Really recommend Solid by Shelley Workinger. It's a light and fast read, but I still got invested in the characters. And after reading this, I guess I have to try the Fever series!

[Heather]

I just finished Shadow Hills by Anastasia Hopcus and definitely recommend it. It was a pretty original paranormal concept for YA and Anastasia pulled it off really well.

[Gwennie]

I have Shadow Hills, I just haven't read it yet. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

[Heather]

Let me know what you think when you finish it Wendy!

[Heidi]

I just finished and recommend it. Be warned it is not actually a YA book so it does have cussing (a lot) and some sexual references.

[Roshini]

If you haven't read it, I would recommend

I absolutely love that book! In fact, I think I'll re-read it soon.

[Heidi]

I liked it as well :)

[Roshini]

How's Princess Academy? Has anyone read that? I just got it but haven't started.

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Roshini I thought Princess Academy was okay, it wasn't a favorite for me. I gave it three stars. The Goose Girl was definitely my favorite of her books.

[Becca]

I really really liked Princess Academy. It was a phenomenal story and the characters were really neat. I love that it is a stand-alone novel too.

[Arphaxad]

I loved The Goose Girl too; Princess Academy was indeed 'alright' in comparison. Speaking of the former, I always associate it mentally with The Seer and the Sword by Victoria Hanley. Both books are awesome in a similar way. Maybe I'll re-read..again :)

[Roshini]

Thanks! I might read it next. Right now moved on to

[April]

I recently read .

Technically it's an adult book because it ends up in adult fiction, it's about a fifteen year-old who is very much like Jeff Lindsay's Dexter. The whole plot was very strange. Over all, it was absolutely brilliant, touching, dark, funny, and clever.

I LOVE Jeff Lindsey, I will have to pick this one up.

[Kourtni]

I just finished today and I recommend it. It took a bit for me to get into it but when it picked up, man did it pick up!! I couldn't put it down, I read it all through the work day.

[Emmy]

I am number four was AMAZING and that is coming from someone who is not a big alien person :)
