I think I may have to have that copy of The Book Thief! I missed out on the signed copies at Barnes and Noble on Black Friday. :( Apparently those were the first ones to sell out.

Yowza! I just won an ARC of Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth from another favorite author, Mindy McGinnis! Mindy did a Q&A in our group in 2014. Love her! :)

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments I just pre-order Wayfarer (Passenger #2). I hope it has a good ending since it's the last book in the duo series. Kind of sad that it's only two books. :(

I didn't realize it was a duology, but I'm starting to get tired of long series, so I'm okay with that :)

Yeah, when I got the email from Barnes and Noble about pre-ordering it, that's what it said. I feel the same way sometimes, especially with the Throne of Glass series. I didn't much like Empire of Storms and hope that the next one is better.


message 8122: by [deleted user] (new)

it is strange for a long time all there was was trilogies now there are lots of duologies. both good tho.


message 8123: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I am okay with the Throne of Glass series being long, I absolutely adore it, but I sincerely hope that they keep the 6th book as the final book. I really don't like more than 5 books in most series, but I'm okay with 6 in this one.

I feel a lot of trilogies aren't necessary--a lot of them could get by with 2 books. Duologies are just fine with me! But it all depends on the series. When you fall in love with characters, you do want to keep reading about them!


message 8124: by [deleted user] (new)

Yupp, The worst is when you have a GREAT first book and then the sequels are degrees of mediocre.

I got The Case of Beasts Explore the Film Wizardry of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Mark Salisbury from my bestie as a Xmas gift last night. I just finished poring through it! All kinds of cool extra items to look at like maps, ID cards, etc. And full of little tidbits not in the movie! Loved it! Oh, and I went to see the movie again this evening. ;)


message 8126: by [deleted user] (new)

bought The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon A Shadow Bright and Burning (Kingdom on Fire, #1) by Jessica Cluess for myself as a treat.


message 8127: by Kitlina (new)

Kitlina | 49 comments Storm and Silence (Storm and Silence, #1) by Robert Thier In the Eye of the Storm (Storm and Silence, #2) by Robert Thier and this is by far one of the most amazing series I've ever read, if you like witty humor and off the charts sarcasm, an incredible female lead and one of the most mysterious males, I can't wait for the third to be out

I was so excited for that book, but then I heard lots of negative review, and now I'm on the fence on whether to buy it.
