The Biblomaniac Army (booklovers, UNITE!) v.2

[NopesaurusRexx]

I read I think three of the Seekers series and I enjoyed it, but my library didn't have any more so I just stopped reading them. I don't think I'll ever finish the series, but they were good.

I just ordered the second book in The Raven Cycle series. I have been looking for it everywhere and can only find #1, #3 and #4, so I'm pumped to be getting the second finally!

Anyone else a Tamora Pierce fan? My library has almost all of her Tortall books and it makes me so happy <3 I'm currently re-reading the Song of the Lioness series, and next I'll read the Immortals (I never finished it the first time).

I used to read her books. I'm the opposite--I loved the Immortals quartet and re-read it several times, but I never finished the Song of the Lioness ones--I think I only read the first two. They were quite good, they just weren't for me.

Never heard of her... Sounds like it may be enjoyable though! I may check her out!

YES! It's amazing I'm on protecter of the small book three I strongly recommend!

Have any of you guys ever read The Wild Things by Dave Eggers? It's so underrated!

Welcome friend! I love Hitchhiker's guide and Harry Potter too!

If you like action and sci-fi, I'm currently reading a book which I highly recommend--it's called Scythe by Neal Shusterman. It's less on the action side and more slow/suspenseful, but it's got a really excellent premise--it's about a society where natural death is no longer a concern because society is so advanced, but overpopulation is a problem, so in order to curb overpopulation individuals called Scythes "glean" (kill) a certain amount of people at random.

That's awesome! I only read the first book in the series but I really enjoyed it. Should I check out the rest?
(Also I love your profile picture! gotta love Newt)

The first one is my favorite, but the others are pretty good as well. I don't like starting a series and not finishing it, it kills me so I just got the saga. Even if I don't like a book I usually always finish it.

And thanks, he's my favorite character!

I honestly keep forgetting this topic exists! I'm glad someone posted in it and brought it back to life. Here's some questions to hopefully spark a conversation or two?

What were your favorite books that you read in 2018?

I personally read a lot of books outside of my comfort zone this year, and I ended up enjoying a LOT of them.

I read both The Goldfinch and The Little Friend by Donna Tartt and I enjoyed both of them a lot. She's a new favorite author of mine, and I totally plan on tracking down more of her books to read.

I also really liked The Little Strangers by Sarah Waters. I thought her narrator was an extremely interesting character, and the book kept me on the edge of my seat to the very last page.

I also read Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda when the movie Love, Simon came out earlier this year, and I found that book to be super heartwarming and fun!

OH! I almost forgot - if you enjoy the horror genre, then I discovered Dan Simmons this year, and I found all of his books to be fantastic.

What were your least favorite books that you read in 2018?

I love the book Empress Orchid by Anchee Min, but I just this year for the first time read its sequel The Last Empress, and I completely HATED IT. I thought all the charm of the first book was missing from the sequel.

I also read The Dressmaker by Kate Alcott because it was a book that kept popping up in Goodreads lists, but I found the book to be so boring and poorly written. The main character was totally flat and unlikable. Ughhhhh I cannot say enough about how bad I found this book to be.

hey all! i hope you're all doing well.
i was wondering if reading books was helping you cope with quarantining (which i hope you are doing!). it's been two weeks already since quarantine in my country started, and still going until the end of Easter. i can't see the end of it.
so yeah, what are you reading right now? c:
