Awesome- you'll love it.
I'm 9% in and I already love it. I've really missed this world and characters. Can't get enough of Shusterman's writing either, it's so easy to read (because his prose and sentence structure is so good), and yet covers extremely complex themes.

The guy knows how to write books.
I was trying to read Snow Like Ashes, but it wasn't doing much for me. Still going to give it another shot though at some point. Currently reading Blue Labyrinth.
Reading murder complex! *super good. Hoping to finish by tomorrow, gonna meet the author tomorrow!!!! So flippin excited!

I also had to stop Snow Like Ashes. Just couldn't seem to connect with the characters or plot.

Did you read the prequel novellas first? They really help to set the stage for Throne of Glass. They're very quick reads :)

I didn't know about the prequel novellas!! Gotta look for them!! Thanks David!! Still loving Throne of Glass!! Celaena is hysterical, I love her!!!

Oh my gosh, Brigid, the Unwind series only gets better and better, and the last book is perfection. Yeah, I've almost DNF'd Afterworlds half a dozen times but I'm pushing through because I kind of want to know what happens. But yeah, disappointing!

Finished An Ember in the Ashes yesterday- one of my favourite reads of 2015 so far.I tried More Than This by Patrick Ness today, but I wasn't feeling it. Put it down for now.
I got some money as a gift from my uncle today, which I spent on Paper Towns by John Green and The Living by Matt de la Pena.
I'm 36% into Paper Towns, and it's OK. Not hooked yet though.

That book's sitting about 3 feet from me right now. My gf got it from the library but I'll more than likely end up reading it as well.

Awesome!
I finished
and it was fanfreakingtastic! The I
and it was utterly disappointing. NOTHING HAPPENED IN THIS EFFIN STORY! Then I dove into
and it was a nice romance. Then I excited jumped into
and it was fabulously craptastic! Predictable and boring. UGH! What a case of false advertising! Now I'm halfway through
and enjoying it so far and almost done with
and of course it's awesome but it's breaking my heart :'(

LOVED this book! Grea..."
I haven't had a problem with it. I'm glad you think the conclusion is good. I'd be gutted if Penryn and Raffe's story ended poorly! I'm almost finished which I'm quite sad about :(
