Holly | 108 comments Kayla- i pick White Cat (Curse Workers, #1) by Holly Black - i listened to this on audiobook but im sure its just as enjoyable to read.

my 5: Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken Spells (Wings, #2) by Aprilynne Pike Infinite Days (Vampire Queen, #1) by Rebecca Maizel Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments, #4) by Cassandra Clare


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) If you plan on reading CoFA, I'd say you should read Clockwork Angel first. There are characters in that book which cross over into CoFA, and you'll sort of miss some of the references.

So that would be my pick for you.

Kristina- I think you should read XVI, it's a very interesting book, different then what I expected, but I think you may enjoy it. Putting it at the top of a TBR list would be my advice. And that goes for a lot of people, I really wanna know what they think of XVI

Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments I am a bad girl. I went to the library to pick up Where She Went (If I Stay, #2) by Gayle Forman and Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews so I haven't read The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness yet. I only read about 25 pages and said "Oooh Where She Went... must read..."
I also read Sisters Red because it had to go back to the library... I am not good at these things. I have no will power. At least I liked Sisters Red. :)


message 205: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Where She Went is a short book at least :)

I've heard good things about Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth but I haven't read it yet. So, I'm picking Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #7) by J.R. Ward for you Louise.

message 220: by Jessica (new)

Jessica Cristina, I wasn't even planning on posting, but I love Airborn (Matt Cruse, #1) by Kenneth Oppel so much that I had to pick it for you.

Now to come up with five books.

Insatiable (Insatiable, #1) by Meg Cabot This Dark Endeavor The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein by Kenneth Oppel The Mislaid Magician or Ten Years After (Cecelia and Kate, #3) by Patricia C. Wrede Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby Entwined by Heather Dixon

I always seem to run into the problem that the people who post after me haven't read any of my books, so if that's the case (or if you didn't like the books you have read), then just pick what looks most interesting.
