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:)
I'm currently reading Oryx and Crake by Atwood, Galapagos by Vonnegut, and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. All three are great so far.
Started Winter, and even though it's been a year since I read Cress, I love this. It hasn't been hard to get back into this world. I'll be posting thoughts as I go on the buddy read thread.

Yay Daniel! Looking forward to seeing your thoughts!

"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.

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!

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!

I just finished my ARC of A Gathering of Shadows by V. E. Schwab. It was so damn incredible. I love this series. I can't wait for this book to release on February 23rd so the world can enjoy it too! I'll be rereading it as soon as I get my hands on the hardcover copy. Highly recommend this series. 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'm reading a Danish book about a girl who fell and have now lost most of her speech. It's a contemporary and it's really good and a quick read.
I finished my reread of

Also finished

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!!!!!!

I'm rereading
right now and really enjoying it, I haven't read the Aly books in 5-10 years.

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. :/

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 think I do have a favourite of her characters and that's Tris. She's the one that most resembles me after all. Bookworm, overweight, can be cross with people but likes animals.

Just finished "death cloud" book 1 of "young Sherlock Holmes." I liked it. Now rereading "Gregor and the code of claw." Time for the water works. :'(

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!!

I'm currently finishing up
. It is an NA romance as in February me and two of my bookstagram friends are reading NA romance all month. This book has the most cussing I've ever read in a book, which is a total turnoff, but the characters have made me laugh and have kind of grown on me!Next up will be

I just finished my reread of Graceling and I still love it. *happy sigh* I'll continue rereading the series eventually but first I need to try and finish The Cure for Dreaming and MAYBE The Young Elites but I'm considering DNF'ing that one...
