1) The Steep & Thorny Way by Cat Winters
Clare: This book blew me away. It was everything I had wanted it to be and more.
2) Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
Clare: I was both nervous and excited for this but Cassandra Clare did it again and wrote a book I loved from cover to cover.
Ann: I loved everything about this book.

3) The Shadow Queen by C.J. Redwine
Clare: I have a full review up for this one, it was great. I always love retellings but this was fairly ruthless.
4) These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas
Clare: This was everything I expected a book described as Jane Austen meets X-Men would be and I loved it.
Ann: Could have read it in one sitting if it wasn't for pesky things like school and eating.

5) Grace and Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It by Grace Helbig
Clare: A little different from my usual reads but I sped through this it was a lot of fun.

Clare: This was a little slow to start but once the pace picked up I loved every second. This was another one that was just a lot of fun.
7) Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay
Clare: Another retelling, this time a sort of sequel to Sleeping Beauty. The main characters did so many stupid things but I loved them anyway.
8) Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
Clare: This book was a bit over-hyped for me but I still really enjoyed it. And I am definitely excited for the sequel.
Ann: Overall I loved this, and the cover is so, so pretty.

9) Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Ann: Good retelling of a classic story with a twist. I get why Clare has been pestering me to read this series.

Lady Midnight has been sitting on my kindle waiting for me! I really want to start it but I have so many other books I have to read first! Too many books, not enough time! Great list! My TTT
ReplyDeleteThat's always my problem as well! It's definitely a great book but very long so best to wait until you have time for it!
DeleteI have been wanting to read The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School for some time now. Glad to see it on your list. I just got notification that The Shadow Queen is ready for me to pick up at the library. Always love checking out your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I do love both those books, I think its best to go into The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School blind because it was nothing like I had expected! And I hope you enjoy The Shadow Queen!
DeleteStarflight is one I want to get too. Good to know the beginning is a bit slow, I'll make sure I stick with it. The Shadow Queen and LAdy Midnight both seem to be getting a lot of love.
ReplyDeleteI remember telling my Dad I wasn't sure I was going to like it when I was at the beginning but by the time I finished I was trying to get everyone to read it! It's such a fun read. The Shadow Queen and Lady Midnight deserve a lot of love!
