@Harlee @Brigid @Elora, Ronan is totally bae. Omg I love him! For some reason, I'm strongly starting to dislike Adam but I'm not quite finished with The Dream Thieves so we shall see.

I had the same feeling while I was reading The Dream Thieves, Rose!

That's pretty much how I felt about it too. I didn't have huge expectations going in, so I think that helped a lot, too.

This book quickly jumped to second favorite of all time right next to Unwind. I couldn't get enough!

@ Storm. I'm so glad you liked it! That was the first book of Stiefvater's that I read and it made me a lifelong fan of hers. :)

What she said!! I've read it three times!

@Rose - Adam is pretty terrible in The Dream Thieves, honestly. I feel like he kinda redeems himself in books 3 and 4, though. He's still my least favorite of the boys, but I liked him in the end. :)

@Storm - Wow!!! I'm glad you loved it so much. :D I seriously need to read it again. My memory of it is really foggy.

I finished and overall, I liked it. I LOVED the premise, the concept, the historical settings, and the characters. I DIDN'T love the romance. I just didn't get it. I just decided to ignore that part of it, mostly, to enjoy the read.

I'm still working on This one is taking me a while to get through.

In ebook I'm reading and in hardback I'm going to start

I'm really glad I took the time to read it. I love Kelpies and well... This was so the book for me. I loved it that much.

Yeah!!!!! I'm about halfway through and not sure I'll be able to wait until Tuesday for my copy of .

@Karen - I brought the book on kindle so I didn't have to wait for my copy. I highly recommend doing that same ;)

I'm gonna read it again real soon that's how much I like it. XD

I'm rereading A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas in preparation for A Court of Mist and Fury dropping Tuesday. (The book releases this year. Man o man)

Caitlin wrote: "I finished The Raven King...

Yay! And yes, that's a good way to put it. I was sad to see the series end, but also I felt kind of ... elated when I finished it. Such a wonderful book. :D

I also bought the ebook because I was too impatient to wait for my physical copy, haha. But I finally got my copy yesterday! I'm thinking about reading it again, even though I only finished it a week ago. :P

Maggie Stiefvater has a new book coming soon...can't wait!!!

Fair question :) The main character seemed so contrived and unrealistic, I just found myself not liking her. And then when she ended up in that kingdom and met a prince and was on the training grounds, I was like "here we go again." There wasn't anything unique happening and I didn't like the MC, so I stopped. I'm really picky though when it comes to high fantasy, and lately much of the YA high fantasy I've been reading has been so underwhelming with lack of world building and boring cliche characters. It's hard to live up to the bar set by Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones!

I loved Room! Great review :)

I LOVED this book! The style reminded me a bit of Laini Taylor :)

Yeah. Definitely skipping that one Daniel!

@Brigid - I definitely loved TRK. Maggie is such an amazing author. I had read somewhere that she wrote TRK once and then completely rewrote it because it wasn't how she wanted it for herself (trying to please others kind of thing). So this version is something she wrote for herself first and I think that makes me even closer to the piece.

I'm already trying to figure out when I can reread the entire series because I'm absolutely in love with it. Easily one of my top favorites.

Wow, that's some dedication! I admire her a lot for doing that. :)

Same here. It's easily in my top 10 favorite series of all time, possibly even top 5 ... I'd have to think about it, haha. But dang. It's just so incredible and unlike anything I've ever read.

I heard so many bad things about this one that I never thought I'd pick it up but I'm glad I did! I'm really enjoying it and you're right definitely similar to Laini Taylor.

I finished and really liked it! A wonderful conclusion to the trilogy! I read almost the whole way through in one sitting! One thing this series does really well is give us great connection to characters. And then crushes us just when we aren't expecting it! The twist was very well done in this one, I did not see it coming at all!

YAY! I'm so glad to hear you're liking it!

Finished:



This one was a little slow-going for me compared to the first book. I still liked it, just not quite as much. I felt like too much of it was build-up, and it ended just as it was starting to get really intense. :P I'll read the third book when it comes out though, because I really want to know what happens!

And next I am reading:



I'm really excited for it, so I hope it's good!

Just started Champion. Finishing Pride and Prejudice this week and then I'll be reading Death of a Salesman.

I started yesterday because I couldn't resist.

I finnished reading Ixeos, and then read the second book in the trilogy, Rebellion. Now I'm reading the third book in the trilogy, Darian's War.

I picked up a copy of The Raven Boys for my Kindle yesterday. Trying to decide whether to start it as soon as possible (once I've finnished the Ixeos trilogy, and the two books I promised to read and review) or wait until the end of the month when I can buy the other three books, and then read the whole series one after another.

I'm listening to Armada, which is so funny! And I'm reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children which, unfortunately, I'm not enjoying so far :/ Almost a quarter through.

About halfway through TRK right now and glad I'm taking my time with it (although part of me hates it because I'm 2 books behind on my challenge so it's all FINISH FINISH FINISH).

Also fascinated with , probably finishing that up today or tomorrow.

Looking forward to starting shortly.

I gave up on Miss Peregrine after about 100-150 pages

Me too Heather!!

@Heidi I managed to finish Miss Peregrine's but I think I gave it like 2½ stars.

I was just not into it

I don't think I'll dnf it just yet, but it really bores me. I'll probably just power through it...

finished two books since I last posted:
and both 5 star reads.

Starting now.

I'm reading and so far it's pretty awesome!

Just finished
I don't read much Sci Fi (even though I watch a lot of it), so I'm not sure if this genre is written in this format or if this was unique to the story.
But I loved it. It wasn't so much a book as it was an experience. If you haven't read it, it's reading through a dossier of an attack in space. I loved reading interviews and having to turn the book upside down at one point to read a page....so immersive. And just a WEE bit creepy. Can't wait for the sequel!

I'm currently reading "orphan of destiny" book 3 of "the youngest Templar" series. Then I'm finishing up the "wings" series. If you like faeries, I definitely recommend it. :D

I started and I am LOVING it!

I LOVED this one!!

I've not been reading anything these past couple of days. I read a couple of pages and crash. Dang work keeps interrupting my reading time! ;)

I did start an ARC of . Our Rysa Walker has a Kiernan story in it which I can't wait to read!

I should have time to get back into this weekend. I put it down until I could devote several hours to it. I don't want ANY interruptions when I read it! ;)

I ended up listening to this one. Reading it on my Kindle was very difficult in the format it was in. Listening was perfect, it was very well performed and narrated.

Started this one. So far I am very into it. Not true stories as I expected, but novels.
