I really think I'm going to love Winter, maybe more than any of the others. But I also love Cress and Cinder! (Scarlet's okay)

Thanks! It has been a really nice trip, but it will also be nice to sleep in my own bed tomorrow. :D And I think you will like To All the Boys!

Just started...
I've had this book on my bookshelf for quite some time now. So I decided to finally read it. Writing is not amazing, but its pretty interesting. I haven't read The 5th Wave, but this gives me the same vibe.

Yay Tommy! You need to read book two. It was really good too.

I hadn't heard of this book, but i i love Holly Black and Cassandra Clare-I'll bet it's good!

Brigid, I am the same way. Sometimes I just need something cute and light-a good escape. Especially on vacation. :)

Thanks Dixie! I finished Sabriel and enjoyed it :) Half Way Home is REALLY good, my favorite Hugh Howey book, I hope you get to try it!


Just started Magic Breaks
. This is one of my favorite adult paranormal series. For some reason I can't get into YA paranormal but I have a few adult paranormal series I love.

Thant is good to know, David! Thanks for the recommendation!


Heidi, is this book set in a futuristic version of Atlanta, as in Atlanta, Georgia? That is just a few miles from me. That is kind of cool! :)


LOVED this story! A very unique concept. It felt like a story from a few hundred years ago, but it was actually thousands of years in the future. The world building was incredible, as well as the plot and all the twists. And I LOVED the characters. This is one for history buffs, dystopian lovers, fantasy junkies...the works!
Jenny you are always reading books I have never heard of! I often have to look them up after you post you are reading them :)
I tried reading...
Has anyone read this book? Is it just me or its very similar to The Avatar: The Last air Bender...
Any thoughts? should I actually continue reading it? I'm having difficulties separating the two. But then I'm just three chapters into it.

Huh, I'm a huge A:TLA fan but I have not read it so I can't say! From the description it does sound a little similar though. :P

I finished:
Kinda started skimming towards the end, but it was an okay book.
Also finished:
I liked it! It was cute, although it followed a lot of teen-drama/rom-com type clichés ... but ehh, I liked it anyway. ;)
Today I started:
I've heard really good things about it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I like it! :)

It's a pretty good read. Creepy in an interesting way. I will continue to read the next book, but the third one hasn't come out yet so I'll just wait for that to come before hitting the second book
For some weird reason I thought people were talking about this book here, but I think I might be wrong. Maybe its just my subconscious telling me to read it. So picked up...

Cool, I'm interested to hear what you think of it! I'm only about 50 pages in (and it's a pretty long book, haha) and so far I'm not sure how I feel about it. Honestly it's making me a little uncomfortable for various reasons; I'm a little nervous about where it's going because I have a bad feeling it's going to be one of those abusive-relationship-passed-off-as-romance scenarios, but I'm really hoping I'm wrong. :P

@Bluemoon - I don't think you're wrong! I recall someone (maybe a few people?) in this group talking about Croak and saying it was really good. I've been meaning to pick that one up. :)

I was unable to finish it. I think I made it around 20% before I gave up. Others have really liked it, but it just wasn't for me. I couldn't connect with the characters, the world, or the writing. Hope it's a better read for you!

I liked Croak well enough as a standalone read, but didn't feel compelled to read the sequels. It was a really cool, fresh idea, some of the writing was quite funny...but the "twist" was really predictable. But overall I found it to be worth the read!

I agree. I didn't continue with the series either.

You might love it. Who knows. I know Ashley does.

I loved Attachments! So far I have loved everything by Rainbow Rowell!
Oh no! I loved E & P to pieces (except the horrid ending but I forgave her for that). I liked Landline more than Attachments. Her books are all great on audio too Ashley just FYI

I did like the audio for E&P very much-- the ending absolutely killed it for me, I liked it earlier on though.

Yeah the ending sucked. She has not perfected an ending yet IMO. Still loved the other 99% so much. I grew up in that time period so I think it made me nostalgic and added to my love.
