Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments @Karen that must be the case! Cuz she annoyed the mess out if me too when I read the books. But for some reason I totally understand everything she is going through and why she does the things she does.

Love Brew (Salem's Revenge, #1) by David Estes !! And I recently got to re-experience the series while my roommate was reading it on vacation a few weeks ago. She would burst out laughing uncontrollably snorting out incomprehensible words. I laughed so hard at HER antics!!

Ahh! My aunt gave me a target GC and I almost bought me earl and the dying girl with the last gc for target that I had earned through redeeming points. I feel like this will be a necessary evil now. They have a paperback for $7.99.

Finished Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews and it made my faves of 2015 list! 4.5 stars. LOVED it!

Also finished Sky on Fire (Monument 14, #2) by Emmy Laybourne today in one sitting! A very quick, intense read!

Next I'm reading Gravity (The Taking, #1) by Melissa West

I never bought into Tris as a character in Divergent and hated her name (gah how I hated it!). I did not continue with the series and with everyone's reactions to book three it sounds like that was a good plan. I am pretty picky though so don't mind me!

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments Last night I finished The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. It was okay with some moments of awesome. I think it's worth a read. It's a good story.

I tried that years back in print and kept falling asleep so gave up. Everyone seems to love it so have thought maybe I might try it on audiobook to see if that helps.

@Oda- Yay! Glad you're enjoying it so far. I'm at 30% and am also liking it :)

@Kritika- Whoa! So Clariel was published 11 years after book 3? That's crazy. Was it as good as the other three?

@Heidi- it's a little slow and there's a fair bit of typical high fantasy detail, but the audio might help you get through it. So far I think it's a pretty cool/clever concept although I'm not yet committed to the whole 4-book series.

@Karen- thanks about my NP covers, I love them too! And I'll definitely keep you posted about Sabriel. It's...good, but a little slow in parts. But overall I'm enjoying the read so far.

100% serious - I had no idea there was even a book about the entire situation until I happened to find it in an antique shop in the town.
