tomorrow and begin reading

I did like this one, surprisingly. It did not feel like a dystopian to me though, it felt like a fairy tale story. Once I got my head wrapped around that, I enjoyed it! Maxon was a major reason why! *sigh

Yes, there was some big thing with her and some reviewer or some such thing.

Yeah, I heard about that. I honestly don't know what to think of it. I guess it was fair that the author didn't want a horrible review at the top, because it sucks. And it's so unfair when everyone likes the worst review there, just because.
But I absolutely loved the books, and the author doesn't seem like a horrible person.

I know. it's brutal!

I guess I missed that one. I did read a horrible review on Beautiful Creatures awhile back, and it had about 200 likes! That does annoy me a little, but everyone is entitled to their opinions.

I thought there was some issue but I forgot about it already!

I just started
and so far it's really good! And there are some beautiful drawing of some of the characters in the book.
I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Ten: Bite Club - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Eleven: Last Breath - Rachel Caine.
I'm having a hard time finding reading material as well. I'm becoming increasingly more snobby as time goes on and my expectations rise. I wish Melina Marchetta would just clone herself already and write like 5 new books each month. It seems like I keep starting books and only get a few pages in before I give up because they are crap, too predictable or some regurgitated version of some book I've already read. I want to read something in the caliber of Fault in our Stars or Finnikin of the Rock. I want to be surprised and moved and taken in by a story....PLEASE...recommend me something...
Bethany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel the same way. I am total book snob now and think Melina is a Goddess. I will check you tbr pile and see if I can find anything to rec.

Out of all those, Shades of Earth is my favorite! We are going to do a buddy read of Clockwork Princess in a week, so you could also read Clockwork Prince to be ready for that!

@ Heidi, I actually read A Monster Calls, per your recommendation and really loved it. I've wanted to read Raw Blue, mostly because the author is Aussie and I've heard her compared to Cath Crowley, whom I love. I've not gotten around to reading Gayle Foreman's work yet, but I will give it a shot. Thanks for the recs, ladies!!!
I started and finished
today and was pretty happy with it. I also borrowed
from the library and will start it tonight. Hope its good, I love retellings and I always liked this particular tale, so fingers crossed!
Bethany for some reason Monster Calls was still in your tbr pile?? Who knows! I could have read it wrong. Yes Raw Blue's author is very much like Cath Crowley (whom I also love) and she is also an Aussie -- damn those Aussie can write! I think I had to buy Raw Blue from Fishpond World because they didn't sell it here in the States at the time. Speaking of Aussies have you read
by the author of Book Thief?? I loved it. Gayle Forman's book Where She Went reminded me A LOT of Melina's book Piper's Son -- but in a good way. I gave it 5 stars, which is a rarity for me. I read Dark Divine and thought it was ok but kind of forgot about it afterwards for some reason.

If you look at the comments for the top review on goodreads about the Selection; you'll hear all about it.
I just realized that my eARC from Netgalley
is expiring in 4 days and I really wanted to read it! So now I'm reading that one as well! Aye, aye, aye!
