I was reading the entire "Lost fleet" series. <br /><br />Sort of scientific fiction revolving around a hundred year old war between the two star systems and contacts with aliens.<br /><br />Liked it like hell.

So thank you all! Very much appreciated.<br /><br />SarahSarah Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185278849400551014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-38488537222821750872011-02-11T10:04:50.061-08:002011-02-11T10:04:50.061-08:001) The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake (pretty wr...1) The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake (pretty writing, interesting premise, but slow pacing.)<br /><br />2) Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (excellent)<br /><br />3) The Invisible Bridge (excellent)<br /><br />4) (YA) Delirium (okay; I liked the ending the best)<br /><br />5) Vineland by Pynchon (excellent)Lola Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394765053485642935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-63471573349027252592011-02-11T01:20:27.645-08:002011-02-11T01:20:27.645-08:00I came to this blog from Nicola Morgans, and must ...I came to this blog from Nicola Morgans, and must admit that I don't write YA and only occasionally read it and then usually a book that crosses the borders. But I'm always interested in what other writers are reading and have be introduced to some great books/authors in this way.<br />I have just finished One Day by David Nicholls, which overall I enjoyed, though it dipped partway, then there was a plot turn that totally surprised me and got my interest again.<br />Before that was On Writing by Stephen King which I would thoroughly recommend.<br />A collection of short stories Crossing the Bar by Kiwi author Daphne de Jong.<br />Rough Music by Patrick Gale. <br />In between those my writing magazines, and my WIP!!Shauna Bickleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782143753899299133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-56966393190304286192011-02-10T19:37:58.480-08:002011-02-10T19:37:58.480-08:00Hi, thanks for the nice comment on my page.

Not very well-written, but the characters and stories reeled me in!<br />Really loved: Water for Elephants and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Fun getting some historical perspective along with great stories.Melissa Ann Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454907380469372468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-69872228919435523352011-02-10T13:02:43.175-08:002011-02-10T13:02:43.175-08:00First let me say, I really like this posting. I lo...First let me say, I really like this posting. I love to share what I've read with others. <br /><br />1. Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl -> Wow! This is such a wonderful book, I can't wait to start reading Beautiful Darkness. (Next on my to-read list)<br /><br />2. Across the Universe by Beth Revis -> I enjoyed this debut futuristic book set in space. I can't wait for the second book. <br /><br />3. Warped by Maurissa Guibord -> This was another great book that was really fun to read. <br /><br />4. Matched by Ally Condie -> This one got mixed reviews, it's a bit slower than most of the books I read. I, however, enjoyed it. I would recommend it if you read for the story and not the action. <br /><br />5. Enchanted Ivy by Sarah Beth Durst -> This one was action packed and fast paced. I really enjoyed this one. <br /><br />I see several books above that are on my to-read shelf. I can't wait to read them.Heather Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08800781359655373969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-52858455603040030162011-02-10T11:29:03.410-08:002011-02-10T11:29:03.410-08:00Interesting idea. Right now I'm reading an ARC...Interesting idea. Right now I'm reading an ARC of Dreaming in English, which isn't my normal genre of reading but I'm really liking it. Novels completed:<br />1. City of Ember - great book. I recommend it for sure.<br />2. Get Ready! (health/fitness book by bob harper) audio version - Not too bad. Definitely helps to like the author if considering his advice.<br />3. Wings - Read mid 2010 but I didn't finish many books that year. It was okay. I like her idea of faeries but the love triangle annoyed me.<br />4. The Forest of Hands and Teeth - Loved. Never knew I could like a zombie book but I really liked this one and recommend it for others. Hope to read sequel now that it's in paperback.<br />5.umm... Can I count Dreaming in English. I'm really loving it and other books from 2010 were ones I started but never got around to finishing.<br /><br />I was a slacker as far as reading goes but I'm trying to increase my reading in 2011. 2 books down so far and with many more to come.Dawn Embershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214560861614476799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-38707400352828639472011-02-10T10:45:18.278-08:002011-02-10T10:45:18.278-08:00Okay last five...All YA of course
1. Sister Red -...Okay last five...All YA of course<br /><br />1. Sister Red - Good if you love werewolves. Interesting take on the Little Red Riding Hood story.<br /><br />2. Shipbreaker - Pretty quick read, vivid imagery...Bacigalupi sure can write.<br /><br />3. Paranormalcy - This book was fantastic. Definitely read it.<br /><br />4. Plain Kate - Interesting premise...a girl sells her shadow.<br /><br />5. Captivate - Read this book...but read the first one Need first...I'm doing a post about this tomorrow on my blog.<br /><br />Hope those helped!<br /><br />demitrialunetta.blogspot.comDemitriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597317699857591880noreply@blogger.com
