I loved that book! And they say it's gonna become a movie with Tim Burton directing which would be so awesome. I love the strangeness of the story. Hope you like it!

OHMYGOSH!! Ashes is one of my all time favorites! I think it's what started my venture into YA books. I found a signed copy at my local Barnes & Noble and I've been hooked to YA apocalyptic/dystopian ever since. And then I started in on all genres of YA soon after!

That's awesome that you found a signed copy of Ashes! Nice. I've heard really good things the series. We'll have to compare notes when I'm done. Good to hear you like Starters too!

Interested in your thoughts on Beautiful Creatures Karen. I did not get into it.

I'll be interested too as I made a tough decision not to buy the whole series when it was the Kindle Daily Deal :)

I really liked the premise,characters, I got into the story, but I felt the book could have been edited quite a bit. IMO it had a lot of 'filler' writing that didn't help the story, just made the book longer. If you see those books in hardback...yeah, they're huge!

Beautiful Creatures... So far it's just "ok". I haven't had ANY "wow" moments yet. I'm reading only because it took soooo long to get from the library. I almost didn't read it but decided to try it because I'd have to wait another two months if I changed my mind and wanted to read it after all. I definitely would not have paid for this one. I'm not far in yet.; about 30%.

Good to know. I have requested the audio version through my library.


message 628: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments Bethany if you are talking about Beautiful Creatures we agree again! It was waaaaaaayyyy too long IMO and I thought that you could tell the main male protaganist was written by two women -- he was so emo and whiny.

Glad you got it from the library too!


Jazzabella ~*~ Catherine~*~ (jazzabella) | 87 comments lol. I am currently reading Beautiful Creatures too! I thought I had better read it now before I see the movie.

I think it is ok so far. I hope it gets more interesting soon.

Gabby I love it. It is keeping my attention and Ethan is just adorable!

Gabby Wait...Adorable probably isn't the word...anyway, he's awesome. Granted, i'm only 27% through the book...

So I spent my $10 gift card to B&N last night! I bought
Dear Cassie by Lisa Burstein Easy by Tammara Webber
A few contemporaries! I love Lisa Burstein's other books in her series, and Dear Cassie just released, so I was thrilled to buy it!

I LOVE when books go on sale on BOTH Kindle and Nook! Doesn't happen often!

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
Yes! They really should, it's pretty ridiculous when it's one or the other. The sites (particularly Amazon) make it really hard to put books on sale at the same time. I've fought with Amazon a few times about silly policies that hamstring Indies in particular, but I always lose!

I agree! I do have a Kindle account as well, and I just read my Kindle books on my phone or laptop, but I prefer my Nook!


message 640: by Bee (new)

Bee (justabluebee) Well, I won a $15 giftcard in a giveaway from Ashley Stoyanoff and I bought the books The Soul's Mark FOUND (The Soul's Mark, #1) by Ashley Stoyanoff The Soul's Mark HUNTED (The Soul's Mark, #2) by Ashley Stoyanoff and Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1) by Susan Ee . I've wanted those for so long and now I finally have them! :D

Yeah I saw a lot of really really positive reviews for Angelfall (which I thought was strange, since it still is a YA angel book...) and it was on my wishlist anyways, so I bought it. :) It was only €5,30 on Kobobooks. :) and the other two were €2,30. I have a little bit of money left from the giftcard now, but once I have lots of money I'll probably buy some other books on Kobo, so. :P

Angelfall is awesome! It got good reviews not because it's a YA angel book but because it's a YA angel dystopian book. It's the dystopian feel that makes it awesome in my opinion :)
