This will sound silly, but I'm really nervous to read this one. I just have such high expectations for it, and I will be so disappointed if its not as good as the last two books. Normally I try to go into books with little or no expectations...I hate it when this happens! LOL

Hey! I just want to say that I think you should consider being cautious about this book -I mean, most reviews that I read about it before reading the book were generally negative so I had mixed feelings about it. Once I read it, I thought that it was one of the best books I had ever read, but I still had that underlying thought in the back of my mind repeating to me that this book was so predictable. But, yeah although you might not read this comment, I think checking it out and reading it would be worth it to discuss afterwards whether you think it's horrible or fantastic. Hope this comment sorrrrrttt of helps:)

Yay Daniel! Looking forward to seeing your thoughts!

Right now I'm reading

Yeah, I spent Saturday pretty much doing nothing but reading, so managed to get an entire book read that day. I'm not very far through the third book yet though, because I didn't read much yesterday (Sunday) and it's still early in the day on Monday. Anyway, I hope you enjoy book two when you read it.

I'm glad you're enjoying Winter so much. I read it last month, and thought it was great.

I'm still reading it, too! And I agree––I was nervous I would have forgotten everything that happened in Cress since I read it a long time ago, but it came back to me pretty easily and the story sucked me right back in. :) I forgot there was a buddy-read thread ... I will also have to check that out when I'm done reading it!


AWWWW Thank you!!! hope you enjoy the read ;)"
I wish I wasn't so tired at night because I would have already finished it. About 65% through right now :)

I'm super excited too, Donna!! Even though I've read it :) Its a really wonderful book, a little different than David's other works, but a good kind of different :) It still has the same themes, and the wonderful Sci-Fi element he writes so well, along with very interesting and cool characters!

Now I'll be reading the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. I have a bit of unhappy history with book one. I read it a long time ago and I wasn't at all a fan and I never finished the trilogy. Then I read Six of Crows and holy crap did I love that book. It helped me see the error of my ways with the trilogy. So I'm jumping in once more. And I'm really excited to read it. We all make mistakes in our past, right? Lol


I loved Strings... Hope you're enjoying it?"
Yes! I'm loving it so far!!

I'm currently reading



I've had to back burner some books due to some challenges I'm participating in.



Going to hijack the thread for a minute--look at THIS!!!
Publishing details are a bit uncertain, but it DOES look like it will be published! The EIGHTH Harry Potter book!!
This is a play JK Rowling wrote centering around Harry's youngest son, Albus, nineteen years after the series ended. It will open in June in London. This book will be a published screenplay of it.
I'M SO FLIPPIN EXCITED!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to get it! I wonder if they'll make it into a movie? O.O

Oh awesome! I need to reread the Kel books soon, and get to the last Daine book -- I started a Daine reread a year or so ago and still need to finish lol.

I tried reading the Daine books a few months ago but didn't get past the first book. Sometimes I reread them too often and then they lose some of the magic. :(
The Daughter of the Lioness series is probably my least favourite of her series for some reason. I do like Nawat and Aly together. And I like many of the elements but for some reason it didn't have the spark from the others books I liked. Still a solid 3-4 star book, just not that extra star I would like. :/

I think that happens to me with HP, because I basically have the books memorized so I have to have nearly two years or so between rereads, otherwise I find myself getting bored.
Honestly, right now I couldn't pick a favorite among Tammy's lead girls. I remember not liking the Aly books when I first read them, and now I'm asking myself why that was because I'm really enjoying this.


I've never read the Circle books.

O.O You NEED to read them!!! They are by far my favourite! :D

I'm hoping the play is wildly successful, and it goes on tour here in the states, and comes close enough to me that I can go see it!!

it was my favorite in the series so far.


I LOVE GRACELING and the others books as well. :) I always get excited when someone is reading these books.

Another Day, I will more than likely be finished with tomorrow or later tonight. It's a fairly quick read, especially since I've ready Every Day.
