Red (littleredreader) I ran out and bought Emerald Green (Precious Stone Trilogy, #3) by Kerstin Gier tonight. I was about 50 pages away from finishing Sapphire Blue, and I knew I needed to have the third book so I can finish this trilogy. So I made a last minute run to the bookstore.

LOL love the dedication!

I grabbed Asunder (Newsoul, #2) by Jodi Meadows and Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky, #3) by Veronica Rossi on my Kindle, which said thank you and burped quite loudly. I think I'm feeding him too much :)

WOAH, Mara, that's a LOT!!

Planning on reading my eARC of Defy this weekend ;)

Cinders and Sapphires was really good, I really enjoyed it! It made me think a little of a Jane Austen novel, but in YA format lol

That's the plan I think! I set up a thread in the Buddy reads for it already! I haven't gotten my copy yet, I didn't go anywhere today because it was snowing. I'm debating just buying the ebook.

Defy is a guilty pleasures read for me: wasn't as good as it could have been, but I actually really liked it. Cinders & Sapphires reminded me of a YA Downton Abbey. ;)

@ Karen: Yeah, I went a bit crazy . . . . ;)

I'm VERY excited for both Cress and Infinite! I'll probably choose a day to read them when I don't have a lot planned, because I'm guessing I'll read both straight through!

I have!! I really liked it! I had just finished reading the first 2 or 3 of the Tales of the Rot & Ruin; Rot & Ruin; Dust & Decay; Dead & Gone; Flesh & Bone by Jonathan Maberry series, and needed more to get me through my Rot & Ruin withdrawals. So picked up Feed! Did the trick!


message 1977: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments I really enjoyed Feed. There are some excellent twists and it's very interesting. The writing is also very well done.

Aron Stone | 9 comments If I had money I'd buy Fire Country (The Country Saga, #1) by David Estes 1 billion times. And then I'd put them in a big pile and make an even bigger fire. Until the world realizes I'm the real star of Fire Country, I'm dedicating my life to destroying every last copy of Fire Country available. Even the ebook copies. Mwahahahaha!

Glad to hear you're liking it! I just bought the first in the series Under the Never Sky (Under the Never Sky, #1) by Veronica Rossi and hopefully I'll enjoy it and purchase the other two to and just marathon them.

I recommend it! The whole trilogy is good! The first book starts off kind of slow, and takes a bit to get into, but the second and third books are AMAZEBALLS!!
