At the moment I'm reading , book 2 of a series James Dashner did before Maze Runner. So far I liked Maze Runner better than book 1 and half of book two, but like this series more than the MR sequels so far.

[Heidi]

Hmmm Tommy. That is not selling me on it since I was not a fan of Maze Runner!

Me too!

Fair enough haha. For what it's worth, the story is not like Maze Runner at all. I'd recommend it more to fans of something like Percy Jackson than fans of Maze Runner. My comparisons were just to do with how I felt about it compared to MR because it's by the same author.
The writing's not the best, if I'm honest, but it's just fun stuff. Stupid life keeps interrupting my reading/writing time though, so I've only read 1.5 books out of 4 haha. I'll share my more informed thoughts once I finish these puppies.

HEIDI: If you didn't like Percy Jackson series then you won't like Heroes of Olympus

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

I started reading...


I originally didn't want to continue the series, but I found out it's just a duology. So might as well finish it.

I skipped that one since book one was just ok for me. Let me know if you like it.

Thanks for the update on Heroes.

So sad to hear that about All Fall Down. Can't all be winners I guess.

[Heidi]

Just an update that this months Hidden Gem read is Anna's pick The Prisoner of Cell 25 . I need to pick up the audio from my library!

I really enjoyed Brigid's choice last month (Winger) so I am hoping for two good reads in a row!

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

I started and finished...


It was such a good book! I don't usually gravitate towards contemporary love story, but I was feeling girly today. Since this is the only book I have that's mushy, I decided to give it a go. I'm so glad I did. Read it in one sitting!

[Heidi]

Really like Graffiti Moon too

[Brigid ✩]

Aww I loved Graffiti Moon! Glad you liked it, Bluemoon. :)

[Heidi]

you have a long commute? I have never been farther away than 30 min by foot from School.

[Heidi]

Not too long - 4o to 45 min one way but it makes me more tired than when I used to live 5 blocks away from my work! Especially in the winter when it gets dark early and the sun doesn't rise as early.

Yw :) And its also nice that its a standalone :)

[Heidi]

That is nice Jenny. I have enough series going on!

[Tommy]

Just finished Really fun read. Better than the first book. The writing isn't the strongest, but the stories are fun and easy to get into to.

Up next I'll start and probably

[Heidi]

Spindlers looks interesting Tommy - let me know how you like it please.

I definitely will :)

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

OMG Jenny! You are a crazy lady reader! I can't even keep track of half of the books you're reading. Ack!

[Jenny]

This time of year especially, I read a lot. I spend my evenings all cuddled up in bed reading for hours!

Just finished reading I'm having trouble deciding on this book. On the one hand, I flew through it. It was immensely entertaining, and reminded me of Ashfall by Mike Mullin in a lot of ways. I also loved that it was a dad and his teenage daughter trying to survive, and there was no romance going on at all.

My issue was with the ending a bit. Things got a bit too incredible to believe for me...although it was an original, unique idea, and could happen...but a lot of it seemed too convenient, especially with the MC, her grandfather, and the Sheriff. If you read it, you'll see what I mean.

But for entertainment value, I do think it deserves 4 stars, despite some of these issues! Or at least a 3.5 :)

Next I think I'm going to try

I really enjoyed the Spindlers! Enjoy :)

[ILyk]

Finished . Gee, I thought it was a retelling of fairy tale. That. Was. So. Creepy. And disturbing too. Maybe it's only me. Would that be suitable for an 11-year old? I love reading sci-fi and picked up and for free on Amazon today.YEAH!! :-)) Are they any good or just meh-meh? An excuse to use my kindle too.

[Heidi]

Anna we read Far Far Away as a buddy read awhile back and it was creepy. I liked it though. I think it depends on the 11 year old and their maturity level on whether they would be too scared.

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

I really like Far Far Away as well. The creepiness of it was the subtlety of it. O_O Ack!

I listened to it on audio and liked it a lot that I bought the book after.

[Jenny]

I loved Far Far Away! That was my pick :) It was more dark than I was expecting, too. Very unique story!

It's a 5-star from me, and thinking about buying it too. A good present for 11-year-old niece. She's a fearless one, anyway. It's a good lesson in how jolly, happy people are not always what they really are, deceptive looks, etc., I've started Fire Country and it's not as colloquial as Blood Red Road. Siena's voice so good -really pulls you into story.

Good pick! Never heard of the author until I checked the Bookshelf :) Would have made a good hidden gem

[Tommy]

I finished this morning. A good, creepy comic read. Quite enjoyed it.

I decided I'm gonna read next since I got lucky to get it before people at the library started putting holds on it.

[Becky]

I just finished . I have another book or two that I am halfway done with and I just started the monthly read:

[Jenny]

Fangirl!!! One of my faves :)

[Heidi]

Yay Darcy! Loved Fangirl too.

Creepy and comic? Sounds interesting!

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

It was ok, still a weird concept, but it was readable.

Might need sometime to rest...hahahaha...
