message 1: by Julie (new)

Julie Reece OMG I have to stop adding books until I read some. I have, like, 400. If you could read one book in December, what would it be? (feel free to look at my to be read pile if that helps you out.)

Here are the last four I read...Divergent, Fallen, Nevermore, and Hush Hush...what next? Help! LOL

Porche (practicalporche) Wonderous Strange was pretty good

I haven't read The Iron Fey series but I want too!

Anyway, I suggest Jenna Black's Faeriewalker series next :) or The Trylle Trilogy

Aurora Celeste | 25 comments Mastiff because Tamora Pierce is teh AWESOME!!1!

Beauty Queens to help you dream of beaches.

White Cat so you can play pretend when you wear gloves.

Ship Breaker to make you appreciate the cold that keeps our polar ice caps icy.



Just, whatever you do, don't read Life As We Know It while there's any possibility of snow on the ground. Bad scary.

Heidi Julie from your tbr list I would read Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles, #1) by Melina Marchetta or Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins - both are great.

Julie Reece You guys rock, these are some great ideas :)


Terry (Ter05 TwiMoms/ MundieMoms) (ter05) | 374 comments IMO the best books on your TBR list are these three series and they stand way above any YA series I have read. Nothing comes close:

The Mortal Instruments starting with
City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare
The Iron Fey series starting with The Iron King (Iron Fey, #1) by Julie Kagawa
The Wolves of Mercy Falls starting with Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Okay, I've gotta add my two cents, haha.

From your list these are the ones I loved...

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins Stolen A Letter to My Captor by Lucy Christopher Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles, #1) by Melina Marchetta Feed (Newsflesh Trilogy #1) by Mira Grant

THere are others that I liked alot, but I think these were the ones I gave 5 stars to.

Bethany | 578 comments FINNIKIN!!!! nothing else even comes close!

The Iron Fey series is great too. And I love the Mortal Instruments!

Aurora Celeste | 25 comments I do agree that Finnikin is an awesome book, I just couldn't get it to fit into my clever format :P It also has a sequel coming out next year.

Sarah (littleplatypus) | 1 comments To add to the chorus, read Finnikin of the Rock Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles, #1) by Melina Marchetta !!
And since I'm rereading the Mortal Instruments City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare

The Demon King (Seven Realms, #1) by Cinda Williams Chima Naming by Alison Croggon are wicked fun to read and you have loads to read with the series (The Seven Realms still has one book to go).


message 12: by Julie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Froi was amazing! Even better then Finnikin, imo.

Hex Hall is one of my happy place books. These are 2 of my favorite books so you can't go wrong with them.

I LOVE that other people think Froi is better too! Because I totally think it is.
