Reviewsbylola I am so interested in this and Daisy Godwin's new book about Victoria so now I am conflicted about which one to read. 7y
AdventuresOfABibliophile @Reviewsbylola I've heard great things about that one, too, but I haven't read it yet. 7y

I feel like everyone loves this book, but I couldn't really connect with it. It was cute, but Fangirl was so much better!

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more I am dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

Mind-blowing and terrifying. It's like a modern 1984. It's rare that I hate a main character, and still like the book, but the message is just so relevant.

MrBook You've talked me into it 😁👍🏻! https://youtu.be/TV2em3YsNtk 8y

FINALLY read Fangirl, and I loved it! Such a cute story, and I couldn't get enough of the fact that the MC is a writer. Can't wait to read more Rowell!

This book was so much more than I was expecting! It was like The Princess Bride, Monty Python, Shakespeare, Tangled, and a touch of Game of Thrones all mashed together. And it worked so well! Love it!

One of my favorite fantasy books! Loved it and the sequel, A Gathering of Shadows, and I CAN'T WAIT for the third installment, A Conjuring of Light. V. E Schwab can do no wrong. SO GOOD!

SarahKay I'm halfway through this right now and I LOVE it!! 8y
Ambam Have you read Vicious yet?! It's amazing! 8y

The Darkest Minds | Alexandra Bracken
Mehso-so

It wasn't bad, per se, but reading this book felt like I was reading a mashup of every other YA dystopian novel I've ever read. It was so cheesy and predicable. Which part of me enjoyed, but mostly, my feelings about this book can be summed up in one word: meh.

I was not expecting much from this book, so I was pleasantly surprised! It's an excellent thriller with a very unusual protagonist and an interesting plot. Not my typical read, but I liked it!

I could not for the life of me get into this book. It's a prequel to one of my favorite classics - Jane Eyre - so I was hoping to enjoy it, but it just wasn't my thing.

TheExpatFiles I feel like so many of these prequels / sequels / modern adaptations are missing the mark lately ! 8y

It does good to no woman to be flattered [by a man] who does not intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it.

TheExpatFiles Thandie has the most stunning voice. 8y
