Im reading
I have a like and not like relationship with this book, its not horrible enough to stop reading and its not amazing enough to rush thru it. Its probably a 3 star book.
Finished reading
and despite a few flaws, I enjoyed the read!
Now reading
which I'm pretty into already for the mystery factor. I have a few suspects already!

I wasn't a huge fan of the 5th wave. I'm skipping the second book.
LOVED Throne of Glass, and the sequel, AND the novellas!

Looking forward to your review Daniel, so it jogs my memory of whether I liked it or not. I don't remember. ;)

While I thought the 5th Wave was slightly formulmatic, I enjoyed it enough to read the next book because I am invested enough to see what happens next. To be honest there are not a lot of Dystopian books that I have loved. They all seem to steal the same formulas or lack world building (aka Divergent)too much for me to become 100% invested. David's books not included of course :)

I liked the

Is
any good, Jenny? I have it on my Nook."
Now that I've started Rule of Thoughts, it all came back to me. Its okay, it bordered on meh for me, but the end had a really awesome twist! The problem I had was I kept comparing it to
in my mind, and it just doesn't compare! It is a pretty quick read too.

This is one of the cases where, for me, movie > book. I thought the book was solid, but thought the movie was brilliant.

I have picked up 4 different books today and kept putting them down trying to figure out what mood I'm in. I've finally settled on

I finished
today. I basically skimmed the second half so I quite literally have no idea what happened. Review coming soon, but I'm so confused that I have no idea how I'll write it.

I'm about to start The Book Thief... I think I got around 50-100 pages into it but life got in the way and I'm planning on picking it up again
Daniel - another great review. I need to start following your reviews. The reasons I didn't like The 5th Wave are many. It reminded me of The Host ( sorry I know a lot of people loved that book but to me it was just awful). Also Cassie's little brother's character was so unbelievable. I have kids his age - they do not talk or act like that at all. I also had a hard time understanding the motivation if the invading aliens. That always ruins things for me.
Thanks Teresa! Interesting point about Sammy. Maybe the author did it to make him more relatable to the target audience?
I wasn't a huge fan of the 5th Wave either, although it had some decent moments that I enjoyed. But I'll skip the next one.

LOL thanks for saying that :) I'm doing my best to make each of my new series as original and unique as possible as I too have become quite tired with the genre because there are too many similar books. Hopefully I didn't screw it up with Brew, I'll let you all be the judges!

- not many ratings and reviews (and not the best either) but I do love Sherlock Holmes. It's not bad so far! :)
Xandra ~ so throw me away 'cause if I were a boomerang I'd turn around and come back to you wrote: "I'm about to start The Book Thief...

It took me a while to get into it but once I couldn't put it down.
