Inheritance (Inheritance 4) by Christopher Paolini
Little bit of a slow start but then, wow! Great ending to a great series.
Infinity (Chronicles of Nick 1) By Sherrilyn Kenyon
Gee, I wonder how much crap can be going on at once?!
Don't Stop Now by Julie Halpern
Fun little road trip book with an honest ending.
Jessica's Guide To Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey
Amusing little story with an ending just a little too rushed.
Looking For Alaska by John Green
Reads more like a self analysis exercise. Ugh!
I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith
A sweet, fun story.
Cinder (Lunar Chronicles 1) by Marissa Meyer
An amazing twist on the classic fairy tale. Thoroughly awesome!
Everneath (Everneath 1) by Brodi Ashton
A unique exciting story but slightly disappointing characters.
The Adoration of Jenna Fox (Jenna Fox Chronicles 1) By Mary E. Pearson
An engrossing, thought provoking story littered with symbolism.
I'm actually impressed with how many I liked this month! Pretty sad that usually I read so many that are duds for me. My favorites of the month were Inheritance and Cinder. Least favorites and only ones I didn't like were Infinity and Looking For Alaska. Not too shabby, huh?
9 books is amazing! I'm the world's slowest reader. I'm chuffed if I manage to read 1!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I usually don't manage this many but I upped my reading goal for the year so I'm trying really hard.
DeleteDang... I so can't get into Inheritance! Last night when it was "time to read" I avoided it by doing all sorts of other things instead. Weird, huh?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, aren't you struggling with the Robert Jordan book too? Maybe you need a break from fantasy???
DeleteI read 9 too, I would've liked to have read more though. I think Inheritance should count as TWO books though, the size of it! The Adoration of Jenna Fox is on my list for this year so I'm glad to see you enjoyed it

It should count as two! I'm just impressed I managed it among all the others I read.
DeleteGreat month! I just read Cinder, a couple days ago, and it is absolutely wonderful, I agree. I also agree with Kait about Inheritance. My son's tackled that series but I just look at them and think, "Oh, maybe later . . . "
ReplyDeleteSherrilyn Kenyon used to be in my writing group and she is a total doll but, try as I might, I have never been able to get through a single one of her books. I was hoping her YA would be more palatable, but I think I'll just give up. She doesn't need me, anyway. She's got quite a following.
I'm glad you loved Cinder too! I'm with you, Sherrilyn has enough followers, I'm not going to bother.
DeleteUmm is 9 books a bad month for you?? Because 9 is like my reading on steroids! It's cool that you read such a variety of books.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I usually only average around 7 but I'm trying extra hard this year to read a few more books than I usually do.
DeleteYay for reading so many books! I managed 9 last month too and that is good for me! And I'm glad you enjoyed so many of your books too :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have another great month :)
