I enjoy this series a lot, looking forward to finding out how it will continue.

Lieke | 1723 comments Good to hear Kris :)

Today I finished The Fate of Ten: Lorien Legacies Book 6 by Pittacus Lore. I enjoy this series a lot, it is fun and has a lot of action. But the ending made me sad. Only one book left in the series.
Now I started Cinder and when I finish this book I will start Dead Until Dark :)

Lieke | 1723 comments I didn't want to go outside with the snow, so I finished my third book this month Cinder by Marissa Meyer.
It is a great start to the series, I had heard a little bit about the book but most of it was still a surprise. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Do I need to read the short stories? I haven't read Glitches and The Little Android.

The short stories aren't a necessity, but they do give you Cinder's back story. I would recommend waiting and reading all the short stories in Stars Above.

Lieke | 1723 comments Thanks, I didn't realize they where in Stars Above.
I read Glitches yesterday, but will wait with the other stories.


message 19: by Lieke (new)

Lieke | 1723 comments I finished reading Dead Until Dark, I enjoyed the book but it is not near my favorites list. I'm not a fan of the insta-love, but enjoyed the mystery part.
I liked Sam and Eric, I'm curious how the story will continue.

Lieke | 1723 comments I read De dagen van het hert by Liliana Bodoc.
The writing style was not for me.
I liked the story idea but for me it didn't work how it was written.
The original language was Spanish so I don't know how much was because of the writing or the translation.


message 21: by Lieke (new)

Lieke | 1723 comments I read two non series books:
Sleutels van chaos by Hati Bell
Dagen van schaamte by Lieneke Dijkzeul
Both 3 stars by Dutch authors:
The first was a great story but the writing could have been better.
For the second the writing was very good but I didn't like the story.


message 22: by Lieke (new)

Lieke | 1723 comments Today I finished reading Mycket mer än så (Alone for the ride) by Sarah Dessen.
A fun YA, with a little tear and a good ending.


message 23: by Lieke (new)

Lieke | 1723 comments I read Charmed Life by Dian Wynne Jones.
A good middle grade book, although the characters weren't very likable.


message 24: by Lieke (last edited Jan 27, 2017 12:19PM) (new)

Lieke | 1723 comments Finished my 10th book of the year Up by Myrthe van der Meer.
It is the second and last book in a series, so I finished my first series of the year :)
It is a very emotionally impressive book. It definitely gave me a lot to think about.


message 25: by Lieke (new)

Lieke | 1723 comments I had a great start of the year I managed to read 11 books in January. Yesterday I finished book 11 The Tournament at Gorlan by John Flanagan. I loved reading about a young Halt and Crowley. And it makes me want to read the Ranger Apprentice books again to see the difference between then and now.

I read her Power of Three book a few years ago and enjoyed it but haven't been able to get into any others. She's had a resurgence in popularity due to Harry Potter though.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments That's amazing, Lieke! A great start indeed :)
