Got it, maybe I'll look into that version of Red Queen instead of the one everyone's going on about."

Yeah... If you like historical fiction. It's based on part of The War Of The Roses; the whole series is based around that war.

I'm about halfway into this one - - which is by Victoria Ayelard - and is a new dystopian by (I think) a debut author. It's ok so far; I'm listening on audio and it's narrated by Amanda Dolan. She puts a sassy/snarky attitude into the main character and it kind of fits, kind of doesn't. Hoping things pick up and elevate this one beyond just your average YA dystopian.

oh man. I agree with everyone else's choices so far-- Goosebumps, the Little House books (the follow-up series, the Rose Years, were excellent as well), Roald Dahl... I also loved BabySitters Club, Boxcar Children and Encyclopedia Brown. Never got into Nancy Drew myself. Other favorites from when I was a kid include Number the Stars, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and the Julie of the Wolves trilogy.

Hmmm...I'm still debating whether to buy this book now or to wait.

I agree with all the others.. Also I loved the ones where you would read, and then choose what happens next, and flip to that page... and the Wayside School books.

This ones been in my to read pile for ever and I never seem to get around to it. Heard so many good things!

Michelle, good to know! I have it on my Kindle and keep on meaning to read it but never get around to actually reading it. I'll have to bump it up on my list.

That's the one I'm reading right now. While it's a great story so far, i see semblances of other authors ideas in it. For example, Mare's very similar to Alina from Shadow and Bone, especially with her ability. The different Silver abilities and their house colors are reminiscient of the Grisha. That's my only issue.

I'm on hold for Red Queen at my elibrary. I'm going to wait on buying it until I see how I like it.

[Heather]

Thinking about starting The retribution of Mara dyer today

[Alison]

So good heather!

I'm reading . Short stories by Beth Revis :)

That looks really cool David! Just added it to my to read list.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Awesome! I love her Across the Universe series so I thought I'd give this a shot. Apparently one of the short stories influenced her to write Across the Universe and another of the short stories inspired her to write The Body Electric, which I plan to read soon :) Hope you like it!

[Storm]

Here's hoping. ^^ Sounds cool though.

[Tommy]

I was just curious:

Next time I go to the library to get more books, I'm gonna pick up all the Monstrumologist books. I was curious, what's a good series to read alongside it? I'd be looking for something that isn't much like it at all. My default is Hex Hall.

Havent read the mostrumologist myself, but heard its supposed to be scary and all that.
So a book alongside would be something harmless and fun. So a contemporary book?

[Harlee]

@Tommy I'm thinking I need to get on this Monstrumologist bandwagon too lol! :D

I HAVE a copy of the Monstrumologist. I need to get on this after I finish Shutter and Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

Awesome, sounds good! I'll probably read it after I finish the Koontz book and the Revis short stories that I'm working on :) Probably in about 7-10 days, would that work?

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Sounds perfect David! Let me know when you're ready :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

OK cool :) It's taking me longer to finish books since I'm also reading the 2nd Game of Thrones at the same time. But I'm really enjoying the variety!

I'm not opposed to reading contemporary, but it's also a really hard genre to sell me on. It would have to be something downright amazing in order to keep my interest. I don't know why that is exactly haha.

[Tommy]

@Storm + @Harlee

It'll still be a little whole before I check the series out because I have a couple series to finish + am catching up on a lot of comics and reading a LOT of scripts.
Maybe it can sync up to where we can bust a buddy read :)

[Harlee]

It'll definitely be awhile before I can get to it lol but I'd do a buddy read!

Yeah, Monstrumologist has been on my radar for a while. Seeing all you guys in this group gush about it has convinced me to let it cut to the front of the line of my TBR list haha.

Heist Society is a book I always just scrolled past, never interested in based on the cover(I know, I broke a reader commandment "Thou shall not judgeth a book by its cover...eth..."). Reading the synopsis though, it does sound pretty cool. Even if I don't get it this next time, I may have to add it to the already too long list haha.

[Tommy]

Harlee wrote: "It'll definitely be awhile before I can get to it lol but I'd do a buddy read!"

If you HAD to guess a time roughly when do you think you'd be able to? I put books on hold before I go, so I could plan to get it around any certain time haha.

[Harlee]

@Tommy Maybe the end of April? I'm positive I could get a copy by then.

Harlee wrote: "@Tommy Maybe the end of April? I'm positive I could get a copy by then."

Nice, if that works for Storm, that time sounds just about perfect for me :).

*Edit: If Storm's in, that is. I don't mean to presume haha.

Buddy read sounds great to me! End of April would be perfect.

Really,really,really Tommy. You think I recmend you medicore books? I recomend only top notch books, thank you very much... # goes onto corner and sulks#
You could always try a contemporary, get one from the Library so you loose no money on it. Pluss a lot of contemporary are very fast reads,so there is that.

Btw, Heist sosiety is a contemporary too, its action contemporary but contemporary stil.

[Storm]

Harlee wrote: "Yay! :)"

I can't wait. ^^



Tommy - If you want a contemporary I can only think of a few I actually enjoyed: (But if you don't like yaoi take heed... There's some yaoi in here)
