| Currently, I am reading "The Sweet Far Thing" by Libba Bray... It has taken me a while to get into it... It is book #3 in The Gemma Doyle Trilogy. It used to be a trilogy at least. Now I think there are going to be four books. I HIGHLY RECOMEND READING IT! |

| The Gemma Doyle Trilogy? Well, it is about this girl, who goes to this school, meets some people, can travel to this place called The Realms, is tying to kill/get rid of this mean lady who wants to rule the world, and is trying to find her place in the world. It is kinda hard to explian. Just go to your library or buy A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, give it a try, see if you like it. |

| I think I read somewhere that Libba Bray was originally going to write a trilogy, but she had too many ideas so it is going to be a trilogy with a few extra books.... MAYBE I AM WRONG. Don't trust me 100%, because I can't remember where I heard this... |

| I think I remember reading that somewhere too though I think it remains a trilogy for now. *sigh* I haven't even read The Sweet Far Thing! It's not at the library..yet. (hopefully?) If not, I guess I'll just have to wait until I can order it from the bookstore. |

| truthfully, I didn't like TSFT as much as I did the other two books... it took me a LONG time to get into it... |

| I LOVED the sweet far thing! I instantly fell in love with the first two and when I read TSFT I really didn't want it to be over. And it was pretty cool because it so much longer than the others I kept thinking it would be over soon and then I would realize "I'm only half-way through...YES!" And then I was really depressed when i really was done with it. But this series and the pellinor books are tied for third in my ranking which really good because a book has to be pretty special to get a ranking from me. Anyway, I just finished reading the ninth Pendragon this morning so I'm still deciding what I want to read next. The ending was a total cliff-hanger though. |

| I wish they would release the date for the next pendragon, DJ MacHale just leaving it with the shadow of impending doom over our heads like that.  gaa! I want to know who's going to win! TSFT is not my fav out of the series, AGATB is better by far for me. |

| I agree kitty I STILL haven't read #9 Pendragon! I love that series... but I have seen the cover, and bobby looks like a weirdo to me from that pic...the pic of him on the first book makes him look cute, but now...no me gusta |

| He does look really strange, but my theory is that it is because he has been on Ibara living a more primitive life. |

| I just got done reading Ever by Gail Carson Levine about twenty minutes ago and that was pretty good, but my favorite book by her is still The Two Princesses of Bamarre. |

| Oo Ever? It sounds good, but it isn't at my library, it appears. Is it a new release? I love the books by Gail Carson Levine. The Two Princesses of Bamarre were good but my favorite has got to be Fairest. |

| I liked Fairest a lot too. I think Ever came out somewhat recently, but I'm not sure. If you liked Fairest you will definitely like this one. |
