Hey Amanda! Sorry to be a pain but could you pick the books from my "owned" books https://www.goodreads.com/owned_books...

My library doesn't have These Broken Stars and Burned is currently checked out, just my luck!

And i loved both books! Fangirl was a cute contemporary and Im not usually a fan of YA contemporary. And Asylum was seriously creepy! Im trying to get my hands on Sanctum but my library doesn't have that either

Amanda (readingwithmanda) Sorry didn't know what shelve to pick from. I will have to do it later tonight because I'm on my phone and I work till 7 tonight.

Rating: 4 stars

Review:
I rarely ever finish a book in one day but this book was just so cute and captivating, I just couldn't out it down. I admit I was a little scared to start this book because of the 14 different POVs but i loved it! I thought the perspectives of the Bench and Squirrel were hilarious. The only thing made me not like this book was that it took about 100 pages for anything to really happen. Aside from that, I enjoyed the college setting and seeing everyone's take on the same situation unfolding. Thanks Amanda for picking this!


message 40: by Priya (new)

Priya (twilight24) Lilian I pick THE RUSSIAN TAPESTRY or THE LAST FALCON

1. The Burning Sky (The Elemental Trilogy, #1) by Sherry Thomas
Rating: 5 stars
Date: 22/11/15
Review: I absolutely adored this book. I didn't like it at first because I took years to get through the first half and the author used old English and the fact that I couldn't enjoy reading for ten pages without having to constantly check the dictionary annoyed me. A lot. So I was ready to give it a four stars but after I finished half of it, I started really liking it a lot. The plot was quite interesting and gripping and I adored the relationship Iolanthe and the boys have as well as Iolanthe and Titus' romance too, of course. Anyway, the action and twists at the end of the book kinda made up for the old English, which was what made me give it a five stars. Really looking forward to reading the second and third book!

Amanda (readingwithmanda) I don't think I'm going to be able to finish Fangirl before the end of this month. But I will finish it though.
