I so want to read Raven Boys, I've been obsessed with Stiefvater ever since The Scorpio Races :)

It is way different though than The Scorpio Races. More "romancey" if that could be called a word.

[David]

LOL, I don't mind a bit of romance! I loved Shiver too, as well as the second in her Fae series (although I wasn't thrilled with the first one). I can't remember which I liked better, Ballad or the other one. But I always love her style of writing!

[David]

And I'd say romancey is a word LOL. Writers make up words all the time :)

[Joy]

I actually did like it more than Shiver though.

[David]

Ooh cool, that really makes me want to read it :)

[Charmaine]

I've only read Scorpio Races, but like it enough to read more from that author. :-) Hopefully during winter break I can finally start reading Shiver!

I've heard a lot of buzz about that book. It's at the library, but I haven't looked into reading it yet."

I can't, because a) my mom was actually the one who got it from the library, and b) it has like a million holds on it so it's not renewable. >.<

[Brigid ✩]

Anyway ... I love The Raven Boys so far! It's very different from her other books but it's super cool. :)

[David]

Awesome, can't wait :)

Reading as part of a buddy read :)

That one was my least favorite in the series. Graceling will always have my heart. Either way though she is an awesome writer!

[David]

Really? I LOVED Graceling, enjoyed Fire but not nearly as much, and an really enjoying Bitterblue so far (25% in). Something about Bitterblue is just really likeable. She's funny too! Lol

[Heidi]

Yeah Bitterblue was just all about politics and had a lot less action. If you like political intrigue Bitterblue is for you. Either way like I said she is an awesome author! Have you read the Lumatere series? If you like Graceling I think you would love it. The first book is Finnikin of the Rock . I will be honest and say that Melina is my FAVORITE YA author. I love love love her.

[David]

Oh wow, never heard of it but if you say it's good it must be. I'll definitely check it out!! Thanks for the rec Heidi :)

[Heidi]

*Squee* I hope you like it. Melina sets the bar pretty high for me (as does Patrick Ness).

[David]

Lol! I'm sure I will!

[Clare]

Yesss, definitely two of my very favorites of the year, too. :)

I was not a fan of Beautiful Creatures. It seems like people either really loved it or were disappointed by it. I didn't hate it unlike some other YA paranormal out there but I stopped with the series after book one.

Aww thanks Bluemoon––Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Good luck with the wedding preparations! :)

Same to you Bluemoon!!

[Heidi]

Hi Bluemoon!!

[Heidi]

Just started Everybody Sees the Ants on audio and Quintana of Charyn in print.

I also wanted to add that I really liked JK Rowling's The Casual Vacancy. As a person who works with people who struggle with addiction I thought it was an honest portrayal of the subject.

[[deleted user]]

Just picked up from the library today! So excited to read it. I love Maggie.

Clare - I liked Beautiful Creatures and am excited for the movie.

David - You will not be disappointed with those recommendations. All excellent!

[[deleted user]]

Bluemoon - We miss you!

[Heidi]

I am interested in your thoughts on Raven Boys Shannen

[David]

Reading while still getting through Bitterblue, can't seem to focus on that one, although I am enjoying the story :)

Yay! Will Grayson Will Grayson rocks!

[[deleted user]]

Heidi - Will do! Although I'm very biased when it comes to Maggie Stiefvater.

David - Love Will Grayson! My hubby is reading it right now too and almost done.

[David]

Aww cool!! I'm super excited :)

Reading from our very own David! Sooooo good! Released today!

Ugh! I still need to read book 2!

[Heidi]

Just a reminder that our December group read is Wonder . It was my pick so I hope it is good! I already have it loaded onto my Kindle so I will update when I start it.

[Becky]

I just finished and the Dark is Rising Series .

I just picked up from the library yesterday but need to finish first. I also want to read more Maggie Stiefvater. Hoping to have time soon.

[Lloyd]

Last night I happened to come across The Moon Dwellers AND the two sequels for just 99 cents each on Amazon - so I bought 'em!

Now all I need is the ever elusive TIME to read!

[Heidi]

Good to know Lloyd! I will go get book two today.

Becky how is the Dark is Rising Series?? Is it more middle grade?

I've been meaning to get to ALL of those books (though I've already read and sobbed over The Fault in Our Stars). One of these days... :)

[Becky]

I would say that the Dark is Rising is middle school. It does get a bit complicated with some time travel and other strange traveling going on that I'm not sure the younger middle schooler would follow. The second and fourth books were Newbery Honor & Award winners and are very well written.

[Heidi]

Thanks Becky!

Get going, girl! This last one was the best yet! The banter and antics of the characters were hysterical!

Yay!! Such a deal for a great series!

[Heidi]

Boo Lloyd! After you said that I went to buy books 2 &3 and the sale was over! Guess it was a one day sale according to David's site. Oh well! I will still buy them as I love to support authors when I can :)
