Give Me 5 challenge
Nikki - Let us know what you think about The Queen of Attolia. I can understand your feelings about The Thief. Before I read it I heard so much raving about this series. After I finished The Thief, while I liked it, I didn't really get what all the fuss was about. The Queen of Attolia showed me, so hopefully you have the same experience.

I felt the same way, but everyone keeps telling me to read book 2 so I will give it a try.
Wendy I am still on hold for Outlander at the library. As soon as it comes in I will get started.
Loved Daughter of the Forest so I hope you do too (thanks Becca!). I just picked up book 2 in the series at the library yesterday to read for the featured author challenge.
Yay, I hope you love it, Heidi!I read Everlost last night, I really liked it.
I finally finished the book I was already reading when I originally posted to this challenge, so I'm starting on Revolution now. It's longer than most YA, so I might be reading it all week.
I am so glad you liked Everlost Wendy! Everwild gets even better and like I said, I'm waiting impaitiently for the last one in the trilogy.Heidi, enjoy Liadan! She's brilliant and I love her. I want to be her best friend or sister or something.
P.S. I just finished the book I was reading at the time of posting my 5 challenge, so I'll be starting The Raging Quiet either tomorrow or Tuesday. I have to wait for the library to get it in.
ok so in order to keep this going and since the library hasnt called with hunger games yet someone can pick for me again. here are the choices:
holly, those look good, but i haven't read any of them. is it too late to join?
I think this is ongoing Amy so jump in whenever you can!
I just finished hex hall for this challenge so that would be my pick for you holly. I had a ton of *LOL* moments which my boyfriend thought was really weird. hehe. but anyway I really liked it.so my next five are:
thanks sofie. i actually just bought hex hall for my kindle hoping to read it soon! now i can before my hunger games book is available.
Amy- absolutely jump in when you can! I would love to keep this going for a while. its actually been nice for me to let someone else pick my next book instead of looking at my long list of to read books and wondering what to read next. so much funner this way!
What should I read on vacation?
So far I am set on the Assassin's Apprentice and that series because I keep putting it off since I own it but I will let you choose
I really liked the Farseer series Nikki, but Ender's Game is one of my favorites of all time...AND I'm not picking for you, lol!
Wendy F wrote: "I think that we skipped Sofia..."Poor Sophie! If I could pick again I would go for If I Stay.
***** NOTE: whoever goes next, if you can, would you please go ahead and pick for Sophie and Nikki?Thanks :)

,

LOL, we're still missing Sofie!I'd pick for her, except I haven't read any of her books.
***** can someone please pick for Sophie, even if you arent posting books??? Please! I havent read any of those books either.
Well Heidi did pick 'If I Stay'. So, we could go with that.

****** Sophie: sorry about all the mix up here, we let Wendy pick "If I Stay" for you,ok? hope you like it:)
****** ok so to get back on track again here the next person to post their 5 needs to pick a book for Amy(see message 78) before they post their books! Thanks;)
You tell them Holly! Wendy you are next!
Went ahead and just started If I stay because you guys took toooo long. Finished it about 10 min ago and really liked it so thanks Heidi.
Haha, okay... I'll go... since I stole Heidi's idea and sayd If I Stay.Here's my next five (after Game of Thrones, lol).
wow Sophie, that was some fast reading! lol. or is it a short book? although some books just read well i think and you can get through them faster.
Ohhh Sophie please read The Boy Book now! Please! p.s. Glad you liked If I Stay. I just ordered the follow up book Where She Went from the library.
I seriously need to step away from this thread.
*******umm, so did anyone ever pick for Amy then? if anyone has read one of hers will you please pick for her and NOT post your books OR pick for Amy and Wendy and then post your 5 books? Thanks again!
I think we are still on Amy. We had to go back and pick for Sofie (which Wendy did) so now we have Wendy and Amy waiting - thoughts??
oh if you insist heidi. The boy book will be next and also bought where she went yesterday.
Poor Sofie! Sorry! If I love a book I have to share it.
yarh about that... hey wendy is outlander any good?
I am fairly certain she was being sarcastic - right Sofie?? Ok so we still need matches for Wendy and Amy!! If someone could pick for both of them that would be excellent!

Nikki - I'm glad you liked Queen of Attolia.Amy - I pick Jellicoe Road for you. Spreading the Melina love.
I haven't read any of Wendy's books, so I'll just leave it for the next person posting books so we're all caught up.
Well I pick Jellicoe Road for Amy, but I haven't read any of Wendy's books so I can't pick for her :(
Hahaha!!! That had to be a sarcastic question, because apparantly EVERYONE knows how I feel about Outlander!I would have picked Jellicoe Road for Amy too. I'm so confused, I think I'm the last and everyone else has a pick.
cool! thanks, i was hoping to read
, should finish
soon and melina is up next.

My next 5 are
[boo..."Well Kristina Dash and Lily will have to be my next, next book because Across the Universe is due back to the library first and can't be renewed due to a hold. :( I usually read pretty quickly though so hopefully I will get to start it soon!
Yay for Jellicoe Road - I would have picked that too (*pst* Garden Spells after that Amy!) Now someone needs to pick for Wendy!
I'll pick Bartimaous for Wendy, but Wendy, do it on audio, it's totally worth it. I LOVED it on audio.
yes it was. next time i'll write sarcasm or something behind such a question.
