I love smart nerdy heroines with braces and who has a best friend just like her.

The cover would never grab me, but if it's good..."
It was pretty good. I felt like the epilogue was blah but I enjoyed the book. Not like OMG GREAT OMG but, solid.


I loved Looking For Alaska, because it was really funny, and this book is even funnier--I suspect it's to make up for also being even sadder.

You're not the only one! I wound up putting Lirael aside about a third of the way into it. If it gets better, let us know!

You'll have to tell me what you think about Jenny Pox. It was fun for me until about 1/3 in then... not so much.








Tell me how Beastly's like after reading it; I've been meaning to read it for a while but kind of unsure whether its' definitely the kind of book I'd read

Beastly is a really cute and fun book. I don't know if you've heard of or seen the movie, but the book was way better. It's pretty light tho. I've read a couple different books by Alex Flinn now and light-hearted, funny fairytale re-tellings are really her thing. So as long as you don't expect some intense, passionate, thought provoking novel, you'll be good. That being said, it's one of my favorite books and I love the author. Her books are clean and sweet and very humorous, imo :)


Les, I was contemplating buying Splintered, but I'm stingy with my book money. Do you think it's one for buying? Would you read it multiple times??
Also, I loved Gravity and Seraphina!





I don't know. Would I buy it....maybe...if it was on sale...I don't know that I would read it multiple times. Except if she writes a sequel, then maybe I would read it again to remember the story. I did like it, as I said above, the story was great, and you may love it, but if you can find it in your library first, that would be my reccomendation before you spend money on it. I actually read an ARC version of it.
Oh, and I remember that you reccommended Seraphina to me! Thanks! I am almost done, and I love it! Gravity is really good too.



Warm bodies looks fantastic! I'm really excited for the movie:D



I just added Warm Bodies to my TBR list. Does look good! I'm reading



ps. Thanks Les!!

Haha, thanks! It's definitely on my list of books to read now!
I am reading Pretty Little Secrets by Sara Shepard and absolutely loving it.
