well see that just makes me want to read it more

anettbianka · 09-16-2012, 05:15 AM

Really? Then go out to a bookstore tomorrow and get it! And we can discuss after you finished the book.

Missy, are you going to read The Infernal Devices series as well? I personally like it better than TMI.

**pink velvet** · 09-16-2012, 08:42 AM

I did get it, yesterday

I'm 100 pages in so far.

I can't pick which one I like more. Sometimes it depends on the mood I'm in

anettbianka · 09-17-2012, 03:47 PM

Wow, that was quick.

I'm so glad you like it. It's one of my favorite series.

I'm not even a fan of historical fiction/steampunk/whatever that genre's called but I like most of the characters better in TID which makes the whole series more enjoyable.

**pink velvet** · 09-18-2012, 06:30 AM

I keep telling myself to slow down

it's hard to do

liking the characters definitely does help

the only thing that gets me meh about that series is the love "triangle."

anettbianka · 09-19-2012, 06:58 AM

Soo... did you finish it?

That's definitely on my con list, too. I don't get why love triangles are so popular in YA books. Are there people out there who actuallly enjoy them?

**pink velvet** · 09-19-2012, 10:48 AM

nope not yet

I don't know

maybe the really young girls do....but they're such a trend now that I hope they'll start to get old for writers.

Yessss

It's sitting on my table, waiting for me to finish a hundred or so pages of my current book so I can start it

anettbianka · 09-21-2012, 04:58 AM

I need to know what you think of the ending, Rae! So hurry up!

I have quite a long list right now, too, Missy! I think I'm gonna start with my newest addition: The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. It has a lot of great reviews and the summary sounds so good. I can't wait to read it.

**pink velvet** · 09-21-2012, 07:17 AM

I finished

well done twist, well done...I'm still....trying to figure it out

What is that book about, Bia? I never heard of it but I love seeing if it's something I'd like

Here's the summary:

Quote:

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

I'm reading it right now. The beginning was a little slow but the story's picking up now and I'm afraid I won't be able to put it down to go to sleep.

**pink velvet** · 09-23-2012, 07:16 AM

I find that happens with many books

they start slow and then BAM! things get awesome. I think I might pick up that book today along with Beautiful Creatures. hopefully they'll be there!

I thought of reading Beautiful Creatures once but the bad reviews changed my mind. If you end up reading it, let me know if you liked it.

I finished The Raven Boys. It was great but I have to say the summary is a bit misleading. There's almost no romance in the book at all (at least in this first one, maybe that will change later) and it focuses more on the relationship between the boys and how Blue crosses paths with them and joins them. I loved the book, though, and the ending makes me want to read moooore!

Divergent #3 has a release date: September 26, 2013. That's a whole year away.

**pink velvet** · 09-25-2012, 07:01 AM

I got it, but haven't started reading it. The movie trailer was what got me intrigued

I'm halfway through The Raven Boys

I like it so far! like you said it started a bit slow, but even with the slowness it's still good. kinda wish there was more Noah for some reason

maybe he'll show up more in the second half

I saw that when I got the second book

and was like craaaaaaap
