Top Ten Books I Want to Re-Read



1. Magic Bites (Kate Daniels #1) by Ilona Andrews

This is one of my favorite series, and I really want to re-read it to fall in love all over again.



2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter #1) by J.K. Rowling

Another one of my favorite series that I need to re-read just because it's so great.

2 comments:


Title: Sinner (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #3.5)
Author:
Maggie Stiefvater
Publisher: Scholastic
Acquired Via: ALA Las Vegas
Release Date: July 1, 2014

Sinner follows Cole St. Clair, a pivotal character from the #1 New York Times bestselling Shiver trilogy.

found.

Cole St. Clair has come to California for one reason: to get Isabel Culpeper back. She fled from his damaged, drained life, and damaged and drained it even more. He doesn't just want her. He needs her.

lost.

Isabel is trying to build herself a life in Los Angeles. It's not really working. She can play the game as well as all the other fakes. But what's the point? What is there to win?

sinner.

Cole and Isabel share a past that never seemed to have a future. They have the power to love each other and the power to tear each other apart. The only thing for certain is that they cannot let go.


My Review

I loved Stiefvater’s first book in The Wolves of Mercy Falls, Shiver, but was extremely disappointed in how she ended the series in Forever. I thought I would never read anything else by her until I read, and fell in love with, The Scorpio Races. I wasn't sure if I would read Sinner until Kayla awesomely scored me an ARC, and I held it in my hands.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Almost Put Down But Did Not

Top Ten Books I Almost Put Down But Did Not



1. Scarlet (Scarlet #1) by A.C. Gaughen

I did put this one down when I first started reading it on Kindle. I just couldn't take the dialect. I read so many great reviews about the heroine that I decided to pick it up on Audible. I ended up loving the book, and immediately buying and also loving the sequel, Lady Thief.



2. The Demon King (Seven Realms #1) by Cinda Williams Chima

This one has a really slow and slightly confusing start, and I almost put it down about a quarter of the way in. By the time that I got to a little over half, though, I was loving it. I then read the rest of the series in quick order.

Top Ten Book Covers I'd Frame as Pieces of Art



1. The Burning Sky (The Elemental Trilogy #1)
by Sherry Thomas



2. Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

I absolutely loved this cover, which is the original cover for the series. It was the entire reason I picked up the audiobook at the library on a whim, and the book has become one of my favorites of all time....

The book/series that began my love affair with young adult fantasy.





2. Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

Katsa and Po are two of my favorite fantasy characters. This is the book I recommend to anyone that has the tiniest of interest in fantasy.
