Oh Lucky. We never have newish books at my used book store. Just books from the 80s. But great pickup anyway. :)

I didn't find Linger to be as good as Shiver, same with Forever, but I still really loved the series. You'll meet some new characters in Linger who are really great.
I can't wait to read Incarnate!

I loved Linger. For me, it was almost as good as Shiver. It was the third book, Forever, that fell a little flat for me. But, altogether it's a great series, one of my favorites :)

I would have, too, Heidi! I absolutely LOVED SHIVER. I can still recall whole passages of it without picking up the book. LINGER was alright, but FOREVER just really disappointed me.

Bethany- Glad to hear you loved Linger! I hope to get to it pretty soon.. Uni just getting in the way of my reading :(


Jessica (BlogEared Books) (blogearedbooks) | 52 comments I'm reading incarnate right now and I'm really bored. I had very high expectations and can't make myself pick it up. On the other hand, I started an ARC of "the hunt" The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda and can't put it down. It doesn't come out until May, but you will want to pre-order it. Its great!

I loved The Alchemist


message 1892: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (snugshelf) Me too! Thrift stores are my favorite. And I got all those for 6 dollars and some change because it was half off day. :)

Yeah, I've heard The Alchemist is amazing, so I'm excited. :) I didn't really like the other book I read from that other, Veronika Decides to Die, so I'm hoping this one will be better.
