Addicted to Ink discussion

Hi guys and welcome to Addicted to Ink! I'm so excited to start talking about books with you guys, so please introduce yourself so we can get to know each other :)

My name is Rowan and I love YA fantasy and paranormal books. Some of my favorite series right now are the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas and The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater.

Hi! My name is Uma. I live in the United States, and I love reading all kinds of things! I'm kind of new to reading, and so far I'm finding myself enjoying YA fantasy!"

Hi :D YA fantasy is some of my favorite too, do you have any favorite series?

Hey! I'm Breanne and I live in Canada. I love reading YA Sci-Fi, Paranormal, and Contemporary books. My favorite series include the Shatter Me series and the Mara Dyer trilogy.

Dystopia28 wrote: "Yes! I love the Mortal Instruments series and, of course, Harry Potter! Do you have any recommendations?"

I'm hoping to reread the Mortal Instruments series sometime this month because I never finished it.

Oh jeesh, I have tons of recommendations! The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan is great and super fun. I absolutely adore the Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, it has like my favorite badass heroine of all time and is SO good!

Hey I'm lizzy! Some of my favorite series include the chaos walking trilogy, the darkest minds, Percy Jackson and the Olympians and so much more

You should definitely pick it back up! They get even better

Hi, my name is Alexandria (or Alex for short) and I'm from Canada. :) I love YA books in general, but some of my all-time favourites are The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Throne of Glass. Some of my more recent favourites are Shatter Me and Legend.

Hi, thanks so much for joining! I haven't read the last book in the Mara Dyer Trilogy yet, was it any good? :)

Dystopia28 wrote: "I've read the first two Percy Jackson books and I loved them, I just never got around to the third."

DON'T STOP! They get a million times better with every single book :D

Hi..."

Yes, it was amazing!! I loved it so much. If you are into paranormal thrillers you would definitely like it!

I'm almost scared to finish it because the first two were so mind blowing and so much weird scary stuff happened, I'm afraid to see how it ends!

Read it!! Even if you don't end up liking it at least you get to form your own opinion on it. Personally, I love the series and the characters. The names aren't that confusing. They are fantasy character names so they aren't common names, but there is a pronunciation guide at the back of the book and on Sarah J. Maas's website to help you.

CHAOL ALL THE WAY! Holy guacamole, I love that boy so much and if they don't end up together, Sarah J. Maas is gonna be getting some serious hate mail from me haha

I agree with Alex, I think the series is wonderful but there are going to always be different opinions, so you might as well form your own :)

I read crown of midnight and I definitely ship chaol. I definitely want to continue with that series

Whoops I meant to say throne of glass on crown of midnight

Totally agree! Chaol and Celaena need to end up together!

Heir of Fire, the third book, was absolutely beyond amazing! One of my favorite book I read last year. And there is a new guy with my name in it so I'm officially super cool ;)

Hiya my names Maisie and I like YA dystopia. Some of my favourite books are the hunger games trilogy and the night circus by Eren morganstern.

Welcome! :) I haven't read The Night Circus yet but it's on my TBR list! Have you read the Legend series yet?

You should definitely read the night circus it's amazing and no I haven't read legend yet but i have been meaning too since everyone talks about it.

Dystopia28 wrote: "@Maisie I haven't read Legend either, maybe we could do a read-a-long!"

Yeah I'm going to buy it soon so that would be good!

Dystopia28 wrote: "Yay! I got it for Christmas :)"

Are you enjoying Uglies? I've read it and really enjoyed it but I know lots of people have different views!

Dystopia28 wrote: "Well I'm on the first page :) so I don't really know, but I love the first sentence! Tally says the color of the sky looks like cat vomit!"

Oh haha I love that line as well. Hope you enjoy it :)

Hi! I'm Nicole and I live in Florida. I read just about everything under the YA umbrella. LOVE Throne of Glass and I see there's a lot of fellow lovers of the series. (So glad I'm not the only one out there! ^_^ I <3 Chaol!!) I just started the Grisha trilogy and looking to finish the last book in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and discussing some awesome books! :)

Hey! I'm Colleen! Thanks for the invite Rowan!

Hey!! My name is Shay, I am a mood reader... I definitely have to choose a book to correlates with my mood each day, so my tastes vary :-) but I do have a special love for YA fantasy, the Greek gods retellings, and angels(nephillim)!

But like I said it all depends on the day... My top 3 favourite female characters are Sydney Sage (BLOODLINES), Celaena Sardothien (ToG) and Tessa Gray (The Infernal Devices)!

Thanks for invite!
Hi! I'm Angy from Romania. I love fantasy and Sci-Fi. I think most of the fantasy books I read are YA, thou I'm a bit older then the target for this genre :))
I just started the Throne of Glass but I think I might binge read the Infernal Devices trilogy for a read-a-thon.

Hi Nicole :) I feel like at some point we should all do a Throne of Glass read-along just so we can all squeal and fangirl together haha

I have the first two books of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy and I need to read them so bad, I feel so in love with the first one!

Hi, My name is Claudia and i live in Canada although i am originally from Ecuador. I love YA fantasy and sci-fi as well as contemporary, my favourite authors include J.K Rowling, Patrick Ness, Rainbow Rowell and Marie Lu.

Yay, another Celaena lover! I haven't read the Bloodlines series yet because I haven't finished VA. Do I need to read the whole VA series to start Bloodlines?

The Infernal Devices are great, Will is scrumptious ;)

I am!! It started out a little slow for my tastes (but picked up fairly quickly). I think the descriptions of the setting in the beginning was slowing it down. But otherwise, I'm really liking it. I am VERY intrigued by the Darkling. I just met him when I FINALLY put the book down last night. :) He's very dark and mysterious.

@dystopia28 SHE IS INCREDIBLE! I love Clary but for,some reason I enjoyed Tessa much more!! Who is your favourite boy in the series?

(P.s a re-read of the series would be so much fun!)

I absolutely love the infernal devices

Welcome! That's a pretty good line up of great authors! Have you read Marie Lu's new book, The Young Elites?

We could always do a INfernal Devices readathon! That would be so much fun :D

But i LOVE Magnus Bane!"

Oooh, I just got the Bane Chronicles for Christmas! I can't wait to read it :D <3

Hey guys! Thanks for the invite! I'm Marcella. Love Throne of Glass, The Darkest Minds, Lunar Chronicles, Bloodlines/VA Series, all of Colleen Hoover's and Cassie Clare's books and more.
From New Zealand ^.^

Yes, it's very different from the Legend trilogy ever the writing style, but i really enjoyed it. How about you?

Love the Lunar Chronicles, I just re-read them in December, I adore everything about them! I can't wait for Fairest

A readathon sounds great:)

there is a special place in my heart to Magnus <3

I actually hate choosing between will and Jem because I adored each character SO MUCH. They both have very appealing qualities and a special relationship with Tessa... I actually grew to love Jem more (I can't believe it because will is more the character i typically love), but I grew fond of Jem and his loyalty, idk they are both awesome though!

I AM SO STOCKED FOR LADY MIDNIGHT (the dark artifices)!!!!

I read it last month but I was really sick and just skimmed the whole thing, so I really need to re-read it. I barely remember what happened because I was so out of it, but I was really interested by everything!

I know!.. i'm very excited i think it has lots of potential!!..so who are some of your favourite authors?
