Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun) | 1328 comments You have the soundtrack too??? I love the soundtrack. I haven't actually looked up the soundtrack, but I remember loving it. I really liked that song at the end too. So good!


message 6352: by Heidi (new)

Heidi It is excellent Brittany! Very catchy. I got my copy on Amazon. It is worth the $10-15 bucks. Next up I am buying the soundtrack to my new favortie show Instant Star!


message 6353: by Traci (new)

Traci hahaha I made my boyfriend watch this with me. I read your comment at like 5:50, Heidi and I ran out into the living room to turn it on. Such a cute movie... not to mention how cute the sex god is! :D


message 6354: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Yay Traci! Aaron Johnson (aka the sex god) is a hottie - I still can't believe he is with someone over twice his age!

Indeed. By the time he gets 40, she will need her first fake teeth :D

Kurukka HEY! You remind me I had to watch this movie, I downloaded it but completely forgot about it.


message 6357: by Traci (new)

Traci whaaaat? I just did a quick Google search and they have a kid, too?! oh that is rather upsetting.

I read an article that had a quote from him saying that he wasn't nervous to be a daddy (he was 19 at the time of the interview) and said that he was ready to be a step-dad to her kids, anyway, who were 8 and 13. ...He could be their older brother!!

I'm all for love conquering all and everything... but that's just weird to me.


message 6358: by Kurukka (new)

Kurukka I think that the first years are like paradise to them. But one day or another, their difference might be a problem...

Have now moved on to The Secret Hour (Midnighters, #1) by Scott Westerfeld - I enjoyed some of Scott Westerfeld's other stuff, so I'm interested to see what this series is like.

I totally agree! His YA books have been lots of fun to read. I'm thinking I'm really going to like this one. It took no time at all for me to get into it.

Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments What is the Switched series like? Its really cheap on e-book but I think it was label a romance which is a red flag to me.

Me being not very romantical what do you think of this book for someone like me?

Awhile back a bunch of people on here said they were disappointed by this book, so I returned it to the library without reading it!


message 6376: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Start with Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green - Tiny Dancer (as his friends like to call him) is the BEST!


message 6377: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) | 352 comments Personally, I found the Iron King fascinating. I've always had a thing for fairies and all that, but then, there's also that knowledge of something bad is happening. And the Iron King is threatening to kill this place, just like humans are threatening the Earth. but, to each their own. :)


message 6378: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Kayla I think it is either one of those love it or hate it type books. I am not usually good with those types of books, as I tend to be on the hate it side. Anyway, I meant no offense by my comment :)

I wouldn't classify it as a romance but it definitely has some in there. It's more fantasy, I think. Wendy has felt different all of her life and learns that she is Trylle. She is brought back to the Trylle community to try and figure out her place in that world.


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Amazon had it classified as Romance on one of the pages that pops up. I can handle romance as a part of the story (Jellicoe Road, everything by Tamora Pierce, Hunger Games, even Iron Fey, Soulless, etc) but I can't handle when it overtakes the story ala Twilight & Shiver. Sometimes with series its a hard tell which way its going to go without consulting people who have already read it.

I love that about his books. They open with a bang and just keep on going. I'm still enjoying The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, #1) by Rick Riordan and planning on how to entertain myself until The Throne of Fire (Kane Chronicles Series #2) by Rick Riordan comes out.

(Somehow, I don't think that will be a problem) :D

I have this on my electronic TBR pile. I think the first one was free and I picked it up. The reviews were enough to intrigue me for the price. I'll be interested to see what you think.

This is one of those series I read great things about, but the first book didn't really thrill me. Do they get better?


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Finished Sapphique (Incarceron, #2) by Catherine Fisher and I did like it (I'm so the minority) but am a little confused--is that the end of the series? Because it seems like it could go either way.

Started The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner . After I finish this I am allowed to buy new books!


message 6393: by Kurukka (last edited Feb 14, 2011 03:59PM) (new)

Kurukka I think you really get to know the characters in book two and three. The first one is an introduction rather than an actual part of the main plot. It gets darker and there is more depth as we get to actually know a whole lot more about the demons' world and Nathaniel's twisted personality as he grows to be a powerful magician blinded by personal gain and fame. I personally find the final resolution beautiful. Sorry if it's a bit spoilery but I think that's the best point of the saga and worth mentionning.

I'm sure I'll give another one of the books a try soon. Memories of the first one still linger (I remember it, so that's a good sign). :)

(So much to read when you've been gone for a day, I feel so behind)

I didn't really like it either. I only gave it 2 stars, same with the second. i love the concept about the Iron Fey being created as we become more of a technologically advanced society, but I felt like the characters were very one dimentional (with the exception of a few side characters).


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments So this is so breaking up the discussion but you need to go check out the Bulgarian cover of Hex Hall. It makes me LAUGH. According to Rachel Hawkins Blog "Bulgaria is a magical sexy place, ya'll." Хекс Хол by Rachel Hawkins

Sounds like the signs of a good book. A few books have made me cry. (I won't say which, because it's kind of embarrassing). I remember almost breaking down on the bus a few times. Once I came home and my wife took one look at me and said, "What's wrong?!" and I broke down sobbing and partially laughing. Maybe I was over-tired with the new baby and all at the time. :P
