T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Welcome, Amber and Jovita!
Nice start, Trisha!

I just finished AUTHOR LOVE: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen . I didn't like it as much as Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen , but it was equally enthralling. I still need to write a review.

"- Read a book with a character you l♡ve" -- You should read a book with a character you love. So if you love Harry Potter, you can read a book with Harry Potter in it. :D

Starting author love:
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell


message 22: by T.J. (new)

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Finished The Lost City of Z A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann -- need to write a review.

I'm buddy reading Wintersong (Wintersong, #1) by S. Jae-Jones and reading Age of Myth (The Legends of the First Empire, #1) by Michael J. Sullivan and The Great Shelby Holmes (The Great Shelby Holmes, #1) by Elizabeth Eulberg .


message 23: by T.J. (new)

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Just finished Persuasion by Jane Austen -- Read a book by an author that you l♡ve (Jane Austen)

While it's clearly not my favorite JA book -- it was not as interesting or clever as Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen --, it still held my interest.

I should finish The Great Shelby Holmes (The Great Shelby Holmes, #1) by Elizabeth Eulberg soon. Getting bored with Wintersong (Wintersong, #1) by S. Jae-Jones .

What are you all reading? I noticed only 3 out of 8 of us have posted reviews.

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments So I posted my review of The Great Shelby Holmes (The Great Shelby Holmes, #1) by Elizabeth Eulberg .

I should finish my buddy read of Wintersong (Wintersong, #1) by S. Jae-Jones soon. Thinking of reading Unearthed (Unearthed, #1) by Amie Kaufman next.

What are you all reading?

I really liked Wintersong (Wintersong, #1) by S. Jae-Jones at the beginning -- I was totally intrigued. About half way through, I was frustrated with what I thought were inconsistencies in the main character's choices. At two-thirds in, I was bored out of my mind, but luckily (for my sanity) it picked up soon thereafter and ended with a quite exciting sequence of events.

The writing is poetic, metaphoric, and beautiful. Music metaphors
throughout were a plus.

Here's my preliminary review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I see you're reading Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1) by Susan Ee -- I loved that whole series!

message 31: by Johanna (new)

Johanna (johanna_e) I'm so sorry for being totally inactive this month. I read The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli in the beginning of the month, but then I kind of went into a reading slump. The past two weeks I've been trying to read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell without any success. Read 1.5 chapters and couldn't bring myself to continue because I could only think about all the similarities with HP.

I've gotten about 1/5 into it now though, and it seems quite good actually. Might be able to finish it this month.
