Did you like this? I read all three and currently have the fourth one (Believe it was written by a ghostwriter). I did like them but thought they were wordy at some points.

I just finished Attachments in one day, and now I'm reading Paper Towns and rereading The Beginning of Everything, which is one of my favorite books of all time.

Used to read her books a lot in the past but then I stopped and trying to read all the books I've missed since then. Burned was probably one of my favorite books so I am excited to read this. Funny enough she never planned on making a sequel. Her fans talked her into it.

Gregeor the Overlander. Jordan had read it, and really enjoyed the book, so he bought the entire series for me to read.
Also, you reminded me that I used to want to read this series. The author is famous for the hunger games but I remember looking into the other stuff she had written and being curious about it. If you see this let me know if the series is any good or at least if the first book is worth the read!

So, I've started reading the Gregor the Overlander series per my husbands request, and I'm not going to life, for a children's series, it's amazing, and I honestly can't get enough.

I have put this on my goodreads list. I'll look into reading it later this year or next year some time.

This is the book I am reading now. It's told from the perspective of the kids from her adult novel Triangles. Some of it is kind of repetitive since I just finished triangles but it's cool reading it from their perspective.

Finishing up the trilogy. Loved it but I know a lot of people said it kind of sucked. I am also excited for the movie even though they changed powers. Making my boyfriend take me to see it.

The Other Queen by Phillipa Gregory. It's a historical fiction about Mary Queen of Scots's time imprisoned, told from the point of view of Mary, and the husband and wife whose house she is forced to stay in. It's quite good, not sure about the writing style sometimes but the plot is very gripping (it's why I love history, it is so dramatic!)
