David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite! discussion

@Rham Good to know! I'm still waiting for the library to get their act together and process it and give it a number so I can go get it. Frustrating cause I'm dying to read it! I literally check everyday to see if it's available.

Me too Catherine :) I'm tired of waiting!

I feel you guys. The bookstore that sold the white covers still doesn't have it and I've been checking everyday since September 6. And the other *famous* bookstore is only selling hardbound and black covers and I own the white paperback ones... Do you see my frustration :(

I believe the white paperbacks are the UK editions.

Finished my re-read of:



Now I'm going to start:

I'm 20% into . I'm enjoying being back in the world of the Shadowhunters and Downworlders, but not a lot has happened so far and the characters are...okay.

Empire of Storms is finally ready at the library and I'm going to start it tonight. Woo!!

Friday Reads! What I'm reading this weekend :)

I think I enjoyed the updates on the TID and TMI characters the most. ;)

Since my last update I've finished:

4 stars, really liked this one! Much creepier and sinister than I was expecting!

and Both 4.5 stars. I just love the whole series, absolutely heartbreaking but amazing!

which was a good conclusion to the series. More deaths I was very sad about, but overall, this was a good series, I liked it!

3.5 stars. Cute, but somewhat drawn out with a bit, and I really didn't like the male MC, Owen all that much. Lucy was adorable.

Right now I'm reading which I'm REALLY liking! Really fun nonfiction read with a bit of fiction twist LOL!

Getting ready to start !

I finished malala today and binged both books I recomend.
starting next

Im so jealoussss. Geminaaaaaaa

That's normal for me. Actually, it's only because it's two weeks worth of mainly short books... I've actually not been reading as much as normal for me recently.

Im listening to which while slow is pretty good.

The October BotM poll is up!! https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... :)

I've been a little all over the place reading lately but I just finished my reread of Blue Lily Lily Blue which means I can FINALLY read The Raven King. I DON'T THINK I'M READY FOR THIS! :O

I finished my re-read of last night and I loved it even more the second time around!!

I am now moving on to and I will be reading this for the very first time! So excited!!

Ha Harley! I was the same way!

Yaaayyyy Rose!!!

I need to reread the Throne of Glass series sometime soon, I still need to read the latest two haha :)

won as October's BotM!! Woot woot! I'm so excited to read this one!! :-D

Yay!!!! Can't wait till Tuesday! :)

@Karen Yay! I'm first line in at the library! So excited!!

Reading Guardian by Alex London (sequel to Proxy) and it's really good so far. Everyone needs to give this series a read.

Hardly any reading done in the last week! Been so busy with arting and craft stuff, as well as work, as well as taking care of my parents' dogs while they were away!

Finished reading which I really liked, and really recommend to time travel fans who want to learn some history, especially little details of daily life in history!

Also finished reading which I liked quite a bit. I'll be reading in the next few days.

Still reading , although I'm close to finishing it! Its SO GOOD!!! Loving it!

Finished:



And now I'm in the middle of re-reading:

I just started "the book thief" and started listening to "Harry Potter" on audiobook. The narrator is brilliant.

Lanie wrote: "I just started "the book thief" and started listening to "Harry Potter" on audiobook. The narrator is brilliant."

Both are SO GOOD!

I finished :) It was okayyyy, I like where the story is heading although I didn't find this story to be the most compelling. Not sure whether I will read the sequel.

Now I'm reading , which is EXCELLENT. Highly recommend.

Is it Jim Dale narrating? (there are two HP narrators) He is the best!

@David I just added that to my "to read" list!

Yep. Jim dale is awesome! :D

I am reading THE READER and enjoying it so far. Very different plot and so far liking the characters too.

Finally started and I'm loving it! :)

I plan to grab the audio copies of the rest of David'sbooks at some point. I just haven't gotten around to it yet, so only have Strings and The Moon Dwellers on audio so far.

The narration of is my favorite so far, Victoria!

I finished both and Both were good!

The three 11 yr old kids in Point of Retreat was definitely the highlight of the series for me. IMO, its worth reading just for those kids!

Karen wrote: "The narration of Fire Country (The Country Saga, #1) by David Estes is my favorite so far, Victoria!"

I look forward even more to when I get around to getting an audio copy of that one then!

Catherine wrote: "@David I just added that to my "to read" list!"

Yay! Hope you like it! I'm starting the sequel now :)
