Storm Arashi (stormarashi) | 1130 comments Is it just me or is there near no characters who actually drive in YA?

There are very few (who are mentioned at least) and most of them are characters in the contemporary/realistic genre. The only book that isn't in that genre where there is a character (well multiple) is The Darkest Minds.

There was sobbing on my end too. I had to use the ol'"Muffle my sorrows in the pillow" trick.... Then I started Cinder thinking MAYBE it'd help with the feels.

Yeah...
No.

Feels got trolled.

message 11124: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments Yamiele I get more hindered when a book has too many books in the series! If there are more than 3-4 I tend to shy away from it (unless it is Harry Potter of course!)

Storm Arashi (stormarashi) | 1130 comments I needed a break from City of Bones so trying to read some of my library books including The Clockwork Scarab... I'll admit some of these themes are starting to confuse me.

I'm the opposite. I'm kind of on the lookout for big series vs. trilogies lately. So many great books come in groups of 3 though haha.

I kind of got stuck, Yamile, and set it aside for a bit...I was in a dark place when I was reading it, and I just couldn't keep going. So I set it aside for a bit, I'm hoping to pick it back up this weekend!
