Storm Arashi (stormarashi) | 1130 comments I just took out of the library in addition to my other current reads (I'm SO close to finishing Falls the Shadow)

Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver

Pandemonium (Delirium, #2) by Lauren Oliver

Requiem (Delirium, #3) by Lauren Oliver

I'm not screwing around like I did with The Selection series where I waited and then some jerk took out ALL the books including the box set, so now I got all three books and if I don't like the first and don't wanna continue I'll just send it back! 8T

Delirium was a controversial series, but overall I loved it. Very addictive!

Last night I read This Night So Dark (Starbound, #1.5) by Amie Kaufman and it was SO GOOD!! last time I checked it was free on Amazon, so if you loved These Broken Stars (Starbound, #1) by Amie Kaufman you'll want to read it! It's the story of how Taver earned his medal of honor. And if you haven't read These Broken Stars, you seriously NEED to! This book transcends all of its genres, and is just AMAZING!!

Still reading My True Love Gave to Me Twelve Holiday Stories by Stephanie Perkins LOVED Rainbow Rowell's and Stephanie Perkins stories a LOT! This is a really fun read for the holidays :) If anyone was wondering, so far its very PG 13, nothing more than kissing!

message 10174: by [deleted user] (new)

Finished Dark Mirror (Dark Mirror, #1) by M.J. Putney an hour or two ago. Really recomend it.
Thinking I will move on to something contemporary again. Probably Prom and Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg .
will also read more of Forevermore by Cindy Miles its only 228 pages so will probably finish it soon.

I loved the Delirium series. It was good all the way through. I could totally see it being controversial, which is probably why I liked it. LOL. I'd love to read more stuff like that.

I've heard it's better on audio but I'm enjoying it plenty just reading the hard copy. I do own the audio book as well and plan on listening to it eventually.

You should! Pandemonium (the second one) is soooo much better than the first. Everything just cranks up to another level - there's more action, romance, and a hell of a lot more on the whole 'love-is-a-disease' concept.

You'll enjoy it, trust me! The first one is a tad bit slow but it picks up at the end and the entire premise of the book is just so original and fascinating :D

message 10184: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments I stuck with just Delirium because I heard a lot of complaints about the follow up books - especially the third one. I was fine with where it left off in the first book so left it there!

Only one I read is the alchemist.its pretty good, but as the series go on it gets pretty confusing.just a fair warning.
The Nicolas Flammel series is pretty good. I read thw whole series two years ago. The first couple of books were pretty perfect,and then (as I said) it became more and more confusing.
Still the series is worth a read,its a uniqe storyline,funny,actionfilled, and makes you think.
Also the books are classified as middle grade,so there is little romance in them,they are fast paced and not too long.

That's really good to know. Thank you! I've had Alchemist on my list for a long time and don't know too much about it.

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments I'll be starting Alchemyst pretty soon. I'm not 100% sure what it's about either, aside from Nicholas Flamel. Saw it at the library though, so I snagged it.

I heard Everlost is pretty awesome.

The Book Thief! Fair warning, there's a lot of heavy stuff in it, but it's an amazing book that will blow your mind. It's got amazing characters, plot, writing and the emotions are off the charts.
