You...Oh dear. I will be prepared for that then.<br /><br />You're starting your blog back up!?!?! Woo!<br /><br />The Fox Inheritance was a mess. And some things didn't make any damn sense. I don't know why she added to the series. *headdesk* Oh well, maybe this one's better?Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-70482798877769569552012-11-05T10:37:07.872-05:002012-11-05T10:37:07.872-05:00I know.

It's one of my favorite books I've read this year, though I can't include it on a "best of 2012" list since it doesn't come out until next year. I hope you like it a lot too!!! :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851403823244758904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-87773898115680555792012-11-05T08:53:56.807-05:002012-11-05T08:53:56.807-05:00I enjoyed Anna, but since our tastes are only the ...I enjoyed Anna, but since our tastes are only the same about 10% of the time, that probably doesn't help you AT ALL ;P<br /><br />I have Splintered, Name of the Star and Wildefire on shelf to read.

I really, really liked the...Whooo I got mentioned!<br /><br />I really, really liked the first half of The Name of the Star, but then it totally changed to a different book halfway through. Not that the second half was bad, I just wasn't expected it and it totally through me off. I'll have my review up in a couple weeks when I start the blog back up. Also: I requested the sequel on NetGalley. I don't know if I'll get it, but if not I'll get it from the library. <br /><br />Splintered looks SO GOOD. So good. I got that one on NetGalley too, but I'm waiting til later to read it. Can't wait though! <br /><br />I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed by The Fox Inheritance. The Adoration of Jenna Fox was amazing; I loved it so much. But it absolutely did not need a sequel. At all. And the sequel was so far removed from everything about The Adoration that I loved. I think it would have been better for Pearson to have just written a separate dystopian novel/series, instead of muddling up perfectly acceptable characters.<br />Bekkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940606116740260845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-71721444209830027072012-11-04T17:29:18.395-05:002012-11-04T17:29:18.395-05:00Ugh Splintered is so freaking gorgeous!

I have had In The Name of the Star on my Kindle forever and I really need to read it before the new one comes out. Can't wait to see what you think. I wanted to like The Hallowed Ones a lot more than I did. It became too religious for me so I ended up DNF'ing it, I hope you have better luck than me. I bought Wildefire a while back and still haven't read it! I NEED TO!

Anna and the French Kiss is so much fun, and I hope I can read The Name of the Star soon. I have wanted to read it since it came out!!<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you think of The Hallowed Ones. The blurb does NOTHING for me but if you think it's good, I may have to try it.<br /><br />Also interested in Rootless.<br /><br />Kara_Malinczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559498182018910285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-63585332276808874642012-11-04T08:54:59.693-05:002012-11-04T08:54:59.693-05:00Barnes and Noble gift cards are the best.

My new rule (now that I'm actually not working in the store) is that I'm only allowed to go in when a book I've been waiting for has come out (and like you, I only let myself buy paperbacks along with said book I've been waiting for), but no other hardcovers. And maybe it's too early for me to be a good judge, but your webcam seemed fine to me!Norihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991072472141788180noreply@blogger.com
