Not Shiver or Graceling.... out of those I would say Poison Study though I've never read it.
I was not a fan ot Lament. I would say Graceling or Poison Study.
Poison Study and Graceling would go together. Shiver, Lament, and the Iron King would go together. Read PS and Graceling if you want to stay along the lines of the Hunger Games.
If you want sappier/romantic read Shiver, Lament, then the Iron King (though Shiver was the only one I liked out of that batch).
Out of interest what is Lament about? I keep seeing it everywhere, but the cover doesn't realy do anything for me.Is it fairys?

I believe so. I kept seeing it mentioned too so I added it to my TBR list.
Yes. It's kind of weird, but you'll still want to finish it. I wouldn't say skip it (you might love it). I've only read this and Shiver, but both of the heroes are alike. I shouldn't have said that in my previous post. I did kind of like Lament, not as much as Shiver though. I did not like the Iron King and could not finish it.
Is all of the books in The Study series out? I have so many series that Im reading and waiting for the next book. I dont want to add another one right now if I dont have to.
Yes, I believe so. It's just the three books, Poison, Magic, Fire (don't know if that's the order). Then there's the glass series, which has characters from the poison series in it. Inside Out is her latest book (nothing to do with the any of other books). You should try that one, too. It was good.
The Study Series have a few short stories that Snyder has made available in pdf form also. Power Study
Assassin Study
Ice Study
If you're looking for a short read, just to hold you over until Mockingjay comes out, I wouldn't suggest this series. Personally, I think this is a great 'Trilogy' plus some. ..
Graceling & Fire are both fabulous books as well.
These books can be read apart.
I vote Graceling. It's still my favorite book so far this year and I've read over a hundred books this summer. I thought the Study series had at least one more book coming out. Are the shorts going to be developed into full length books or is she done? I swear I heard something about Power Study being a full length book in the works, but maybe I was just dreaming. I hope that isn't the end of it. Valek is almost as sexy as Po and that's saying something.
Oh, and yes, Lament is about fairies and was odd, but an okay read. I liked Shiver better if you're looking for a paranormal romance. Shiver was a bit more satisfying.
Is there at least a little romance in the poison study? I downloaded the sample of it on my kindle last night. It seems pretty good so far. I have a whole month before mockingjay comes out. Im sure I will finish the series, plus some before then. Im going on vacation in a couple weeks and all I plan to do is read! :)
Ok! I think I will go ahead and read it next then! Thanks everyone for the input!
You're welcome. I'll pm you my paypal address.
Thanks Peep! I'll get right on that! :)
Nice doing business with ya!
You are just full of piss and vinegar today aren't you Peep?
Rebecca, the order that I have the shorts in is incorrect above. The Study Series is to be read as following:1. Poison Study
1.5 Assassin Study
2. Poison Study
2.5 Power Study
3. Fire Study
3.5 Ice Study

Have you read Fire? I think I fell in Love with Fire a lil bit more than Graceling. (umm. yup, I did.) Cashore can def. write a book! Now I can not wait for Bitterblue! ugh. Another year. ..

Yes, and I loved Fire every bit as much as Katsa, but she's so different that it's hard for me to pick a favorite. I think I still love Graceling more just because it totally blew me away, but at other times I think Fire is the more dynamic and put together story.

Also, that was for the funnies. I've been wanting to use that phrase for a few weeks now. I saw my chance and jumped on it. So I'd say today I am full of juice and candy canes.
Amy, I am looking forward to reading this series as well and hadn't heard of the pdf stories that go with it. Where do I find those?
Lori wrote: "Amy, I am looking forward to reading this series as well and hadn't heard of the pdf stories that go with it. Where do I find those?"I found them on the authors website.
Thank you! I found them. I just wish I could read as fast as you with the speed that my tbr list is growing, lol
I dont really read fast. I just read a lot! lol Im already through 40% of Poison Study! But Ive been reading all day. :)
The shorts are on Cashore's website. Assassin Study and Power Study can also be purchased as an Ebook. (Amazon, B&N & Borders have them)
Ice study is not finished. I have the pdf of the first 5 chapters-that's what I think she has given. (she emails quarterly, if sign up and July's has not came out yet.)
Atleast. .. I'm pretty sure I'm up-to-date. ;-)

Have you read The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare? Or The Hour Glass Door by Lisa Mangum. I just finished reading Catching Fire & it was awesome another suggestion is The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead if you haven't read any of these series yet i totally reccomend all of them.
I have read The Vampire Academy! Its one of my favs! I cant wait for Last Sacrifice to come out! Im planning on reading The Mortal Instruments series on my vacation in Aug. I havent heard of The Hour Glass Door though. I will have to check it out.
I'm reading The Mortal Instruments series right now and really like it. I *heart* Jace!
What do you think of CoA so far Shannen?
I'm loving it. Won't talk spoilers here but I'm really hoping I'm right about something. :)
I'm beginning to think that we just need to follow each others' reading lists. LOL!
Hahaha seriously! I already steal off of your list anyways. :P
