Loved it! One of those books I couldn't get out of my head when it was over.
Pretty darn good! I really liked it, but it was lacking just a little something to push it to 5 stars.
Eh, it was OK. I didn't love it, but didn't hate it. Strictly average.
Kinda dumb. Probably wouldn't have read it if I knew, but oh well since I did.
Don't even waste your time.
Clockwork Angel (Infernal Devices)

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
This is kind of a girlier version of Percy Jackson. Helen has always been different.

But when Lucas and his family move to her small island of Nantucket things start to get even stranger...(read more)
Entwined by Heather Dixon
Ah Entwined. I sure did like this one. It reminded me of a Disney movie made into a book. It had a little of everything: mystery, heartache, magic, and, of course, romance. It is the story of The 12 Dancing Princess...(read more)
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
It's a story about a girl named Lena. Her world is almost the same that we live in now except that they (the government, I guess) have decided that the cure to wars, hate, poverty, etc. is to get rid of Love. In her world, love is a disease...(read more)

Water for Elephants
by Sara Gruen
I pretty much gave it 1 star because I was worried that if I gave it none people would think I didn't review it...(read more)
Currently reading or waiting To Be Read (it's almost tax season so I'm stocking up in preparation for my time as a tax wife widow) Update! So I've read lots of these now but what with morning sickness and being tired I haven't gotten around to reviewing. But I star reviewed them so you have an idea! Someday I'll write about them...just not today.
Beautiful Creatures series By by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Fateful by Claudia Gray
The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton
I am reviewing these books for no other reason other than I love to read.
As you can probably tell I like to read YA fantasy fiction. I try books that are supposed to be for grown ups like me, and just can't seem to get into them. So sorry if you like "old people books," but you won't find many reviews about them on here. Suggestions are always welcome!!!

Have you tried Shannon Hale? Hers are amazing and fit in your genre. :)
ReplyDeleteI have! Although I didn't know it was her. (I just googled her) I've heard that Princess Academy is awesome and it has been on my list for a while. Thanks for the recommendation!
