I’ve been rereading all of Tamora Pierce’s Tortall books, and think I’m loving them even more this time, if that’s even possible.
[...] Island by Frances Hardinge and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson as part of The Ultimate Thanksgiving Giveaway! It’s also possible to read an excerpt from The Changeling Sea using the “Look [...]
I just finished Gone Girl. Such a good fast read.
I picked up The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay before Thanksgiving and just finished it today. Could not put it down.
I love The Little Prince. I’ve reread it innumerous times, but I always come back to it, and it never fails to capture me. It’s one of my favorite books.
I just finished up the graphic novel Black Hole. I was expecting a lot more horror than it delivered, but I ended up really enjoying it.
I’ve recently devoured the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness. Perfection!
I just finished Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and I really loved it! I think that everyone- not only fantasy lovers- should read this book!
I just finished up “Dark Matter” by Michelle Paver (because of your site!) and it was amazing. It got me on a ghost story kick so I’m almost done with “Anna Dressed In Blood” (which I’m also enjoying(.
I just recently read The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin for an online book club I participate in and LOVED it. I already have Shadowed Sun bought and sitting in the immediate TBR pile. (:
I finally got around to checking out The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and really enjoyed it.
I most recently read “Mr Whistler” written by Margaret Mahy and illustrated by Gavin Bishop. It’s a beautiful book and made me cry when I had finished it, knowing that there won’t be any more from her.
The most recent novel I read was “The Diviners” by Libba Bray. Fantastic, and I am really looking forward to the next one!
I just finished reading Life of Pi. Oh my, I was so moved. I couldn’t put it down.
I actually just read Fly By Night based on your recommendations. I love this author. I’m buying all of her books now.
Finally finished The One and Only Ivan – beautiful and brilliant! One of my favorites this year!
It’s nice to see you guys are doing so many giveaways, compared to when I last was involved in the book blogging world more than a year ago, because you really read some of the most amazing books on the market.
I finished Jason Jack Miller’s Hellbender this weekend, which was very cool. Very atmospheric and a new to me setting in the Appalachians. Quite interesting and scary as well
I just read Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce and I loved how it was an inventive retelling of little red riding hood and Buffy the Vampire Slayer all at once. Go kick ass women!
What a fabulous giveaway, and yey for being open to all
I’ve not read anything for a while, I’m doing NaNoWriMo and there just aren’t enough hours in the day. I am starting to feel starved for a good story (apart from my own)
The last brilliant thing I read was a re-read of ‘N’, a short story by Stephen King from Just After Sunset. It is one of my favorite shorts of his, and inspired a short story of my own which earned me a lovely mark towards my degree
Thank you for the giveaway! (and Happy Thanksgiving as well). I recently read and loved Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone. Although the book hit some really sad parts, I was in the mood for sadness, and the book positively made me ache.
I just finished The Shadow Society and loved it. Alternate universes are so much fun.
Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone! I think I’m going to annoy pretty much all my friends and family by insisting they read it. Right now. Right. Now.
Thank you for the giveaway!
You know, I am re-reading Daughter of the Forest right now and I am LOVING it AGAIN. Additionally, I am listening to the audio book of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and I am obsessed!!
I finished Eleanor & Park a few days ago. A beautiful, funny, romantic, heartbreaking and all-round excellent novel.
I just started reading the Rise of the Guardians series and blew through the first one. Very clever writing, very different twist on your normal dream creatures, and I like the way all the stories come together. Very very good books.
I’m currently ready The Caster Chronicles series, better known as Beautiful Creatures, but I am on book three called Beautiful Chaos and it is ahhhmazing! <3
I recently read/loved The Unfailing Light by Robin Bridges. It’s the second in the series, and it can be a little cheesy at times, but I love the mixture of rich Russian history with the traditional Russian folk tales. Definitely a departure from the commonplace “vampire” stories you find everywhere.
I’ve recently just read Cinda Williams Chima’s The Gray Wolf Throne and had to immediately buy the last book in the series. I’m really excited to see what you guys think of it!
I recently finished The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, and, except for a bit of confusion in the end, I was completely immersed in this story and can’t wait until the next in the series!
Over the weekend I read both The Kneebone Boy and Dust of 100 Dogs and I will be raving about The Kneebone Boy to all of my YA/MG reading friends.
Just read Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells and LOVED it.
The Girl is Trouble by Haines–second one in a series that’s basically WWII-era New York Veronica Mars.
I just finished Jessica Day George’s Dragon Slippers trilogy and LOVED it.
Well, I just read Sunshine by Robin McKinley- my once a year read! This is the third time I’ve read it. So, I definitely loved that!
I really loved The Spindlers by Lauren Oliver, as did my ten-year-old. Snarky tone and clever adventure.
Lover reborn by JR Ward
I recently read Frances Hardinge‘s Fly by Night and I fell in love with it.
Bouchon Bakery by Thomas Keller blew me away. Love it! (Yeah, it’s a cookbook.)
I read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn lately and loved it! Not my usual genre but an amazing read.
Finally read Vessel — I have to say, I was very skeptical about this book, but I freakin’ loved it!! I’ve been recommending it to everyone. One of the best YA books I’ve read in a long time!
There are a lot of books I love but I’ll go with the most recent ones to keep the numbers down
Fox by Sherwood Smith which is the second in the Inda series and lots of fun.
The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan which I listened to on audiobook and laughed and smiled my way through my commute.
Under Witch Aura by Maria E. Schneider, the second in an urban fantasy tha defies the unwritten rules of lots of sex and sexy covers for female-led urban fantasy.
Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson which was very different and interesting in setting, character and plot.
I can’t chose! My all-time favorite is obviously James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. Loved it, but I think everyone loves it! I also really enjoyed The Melanchony Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories by Tim Burton. This book is written and illustrated in the old Burton style like he was before Disney.. Just lovely. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith is really sweet and idyllic and the series of Adrian Mole are just hilarious, I’ve never laughed so hard.
I loved The Hunt. It was about vampires and humans pretending to be vampires. It was an awesome read.
I haven’t read anything fabulous lately, it hasn’t been a string of terrible, just nothing memorable.
