Posts last week:
I was a busy bee!
I meant to read Born Wicked when it was published last year but never got around to it. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard really good things about that Maggie Stiefvater series but haven't tried it yet. I have a love/hate relationship with her books. I love the writing style but sometimes the pacing drags and I was very disappointed by Forever. I bought Scorpio Races but I haven't read it yet either. I think I'd like this series and The Scorpio Races more than the Wolves of Mercy Falls if I could bring myself to give them a chance!
I meant to read it as well, then I could never get it! I forgot about until this month, I am looking forward to it.
DeleteTo be honest, this is one of the only series by Stiefvater I am in love with. The Wolves of Mercy Falls was ok, but I had to be in the right mood for it. I haven't read The Scorpio Races either. :( But this series is wonderful!
I love it when people are excited to share their thoughts on books! Can't wait for your reviews!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI like the cover of Born Wicked,. Have a great reading week!

I like it too! Pretty cool. Thanks!
DeleteI managed to finish Doctor Sleep, too. I'm glad you loved it! I thought it was a really great sequel.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I was so nervous to read it in case it sucked, but really liked it. :)
DeleteI also loved The Dream Thieves! I can't believe we have to wait SO long for the next book :(
ReplyDeleteI know!!!! Ugh! It was so good!! And I really like Adam. :)
DeleteI am interested to read your review of The Dream Thieves-- I have heard good things about his author for a long time. Glad you enjoyed Doctor Sleep. I look forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good! Strange but good. Lol. And Doctor Sleep I could describe the same way! Lol. But it was amazing.
DeleteI can't wait to read The Dream Thieves! The Raven Boys was so good and I can only imagine that The Dream Thieves is even better. I'm not sure if Doctor Sleep will ever make it to my reading list, I didn't care for The Shining so doesn't make a lot of sense for me to read the sequel.
ReplyDeleteNo, if you didn't like The Shining, Doctor Sleep will not interest you either. :) Best to stay away. I loved The Dream Thieves! At first, I thought it was a bit slow, then all of a sudden, I couldn't stop reading it was so good!
DeleteI read Doctor Sleep a couple of weeks ago, and loved it! Glad to hear you enjoyed The Dream Thieves. I didn't really care for The Raven Boys -- but I seem to be the only one! :)

Omg it was soooo good right? I was trepidatious at first, but King once again proved his awesomeness. :) The Raven Boys had my name all over it from the beginning - small town, boarding school, supernatural stuff..all of those things are things I love in a book. :)
DeleteI am obsessed with Born Wicked! Honestly you have to read it just to get to Star Cursed. Fair Warning, the ending to SC will literally take your breath way. I have yet to recover. Spotswood did one heck of a number on me with this series. Can't wait till Sister's Fate is out! Happy reading! :D
ReplyDeleteHere is our list
By the way, we are giving away a signed ARC of Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles on the blog. Make sure to stop by and enter! :)
Andy @ Owl Always Be Reading
Oh good, I am so glad to hear that it is that awesome! I brought it to work with me today to start during lunch, now I can't wait for 12:30!
DeleteI don't like scary, but Doctor Sleep has sure been making its rounds these past few weeks.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for stopping by my blog earlier.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
I love scary! I swear, it has to do with how much I loved Scooby Doo as a child. Lol.
DeleteI am looking forward to Maggie's book! Glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good! It took me a bit to get into it fully, but then I couldn't stop. Lol.
DeleteAll the book you chose look great. It looks like I will be adding 2 more books to my TBR list. Thanks a lot..lol :)
ReplyDeleteThey both were wonderful!! Sorry I made you add to your list. ;) Lol. And I love your atari avatar!
