Mum: "What's that Author on goodreads that you keep talking about?"
Me: "David?"
Mum:"Yeah! That's it- David Cross."
Me: "...Who?"
Mum: "That Author..."
Me: "You mean David Estes?"
Mum: "Oh..."
Yup...she totally bought the wrong book :)
But anyway, she got me these as well:

That's hysterical! You gotta love your mom for trying though! I'm sure my son and grandkids do eyerolls at me all the time behind my back for getting it "almost right".

I have and I thought it was worth the read, but NOT my favorite book. It was "different".

Lol ok gotcha, thanks :) Now I'm really curious! Almost done with Scarlet and Finnikin and then I can read it ;)
I have not read the Night Circus yet. Surprisingly, its not even on my bookcase yet (shocking!) But I've been wanting to read it for a long while. I've heard only good things about it. I think there is a movie deal in the works, too!

I pre-ordered

If you haven't read Grave Mercy, then you are majorly missing out.
Then I am missing out, LOL! That book I do have on my bookshelves, just haven't gotten to it yet! I've also preordered Dark Triumph, because I know I will like the series!

Yeah, if you like fantasy, it's pretty much a guarantee. It was, for me, even better than books like Throne of Glass or Graceling.


I'd buy it all over again if I didn't already have it... :) David, you must get Jellicoe Road!!!

YES! If you're a fan of contemporary, then you definitely need to read it. The description doesn't do it justice, but that's part of what is great because you don't know what you're getting into when you start. Then you get into it and it blows you away. I personally think that the best contemporary work comes out of Australia and this is one of the BEST! If I had to pick the book that has made me feel the widest and most intense range of emotions, it would be Jellicoe Road.


If you liked The Fault in our stars then I think you will most likely enjoy Jellicoe. I haven't heard of Cameron Post.

:D

Excellent, thanks!! I'll give it a chance for sure! Finnikin of the Rock was the same for me, a slow start and then awesome :)

I loved Enclave, and also the sequel, Outpost. Its a very violent dystopian story.

And bought tons of freebies. As always, the virtual pile grows O_o

David, Enclave is one of my favorite dystopians. Based on your heroines, I think you would really love the MC.

Hhhmmm... Enclave is near the top of my TBR list. Sounds like I should move it up even higher, Bethany ;-). David's heroines are my favorites!

Hi David, just saw your comment. Enclave is a good book. It is the first in a trilogy. The second book Outpost was released in either Dec.2012 or Jan. 2013. This is a dystopian novel. I would definitely recommend putting it on your TBR list. :o)
