Rated YA-MA discussion

What is in your queue for November [YA or MA]?

are definite reads for this month.

I will probably go onto as well since I am only a little bit through Froi of the Exiles and I'm loving it already. I'll probably want to just keep going.

... I am betting on Quintana, Amy.

You know, I finished Froi, bought Quinatana and then never read it. And it's been years! I've forgotten what's happened. Let me know, Amy, if I need to reread or if I can jump right in again. Hhmmmm, I wonder if ReCaptains has a summary?

I'm still trying to make my way through . I've really like this series, I've just found myself reading other things at the moment

In my opinion, you should reread, Rachel, when you feel like rereading a great series. There's a huge cliffhanger at the end of Froi so I couldn't wait and jumped into Quintana.

Oh no a cliffhanger?? I'll definitely be going straight into Quintana then. I'd also add that there are quite a few different storylines in the book so far. Unless your memory is really good I'd do a reread just to make sure I remembered all that went on. It's soooooo good. I'm loving it. Too much actually, my exam study is suffering. haha.

I started Gabrielle Union's memoir yesterday and it's fantastic.

Planning on also picking up if I have time between NaNoWriMo.

I forgot about the cliffhanger! Thanks for the reminder. And the first book was really great... maybe you're Sandra. I reread is probably a good idea!

I started last night.

I hated book #4.5 so I was a little worried, but I'm 2 chapters in and it's all good so far

Another Maggie Stiefvater series!! And it's about Ronan!! Yes please. I have to read that one.

Amy I think it’s lendable on kindle - if it is, I can loan you mine when I’m done

That would have been great but I don't have a kindle, I have a Kobo. Thank you for offering though. I can't wait to read what you thought of it.

I am reading (and enjoying) .
After that I might pick or or or .

@Mich: I hope you love it. I love Maggie Stiefvater and Ronan and I would hate not to love any book by her.

I just finished and I agree with you so far. Definitely my favourite. I don't know how the last one is going to beat this one. I had to start Quintana of Charynl straight away. :-)

You will love it! Great writing that pulls your whole self into the story!

The Toll came in for me at the library - so looking forward to reading it

I have that on my TBR - Tell me what you think. I love Shusterman!

he writes such intriguing worlds 0 have you read Dry by him?

So far this month I've read:
and
The Selection was kind of predictable in a bad way, but I liked some aspects of the world-building. I'm Not Dying With You Tonight was a Big Read promotion via the Philadelphia Free Library. I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but I liked it. It takes place in just a single night where an urban African American girl and a rural white girl end up relying on each other as their hometown descents into riot and chaos. It was well done.

I plan on finishing and soon. I'm having my students read something that's historical fiction or non-fiction for their independent reading this month, so I figured I should do the same. Graphic biographies like They Called Us Enemy are becoming a neew favorite genre of mine. I really seem to enjoy them.

I'm also wending my way through .

And because I have focus issues, I'm also reading and .

No But it also is on my TBR - Have you? Is it good?

I'm reading The Toll right now too, Dee! It's really good so far! I liked the premise of Dry but it's not my favorite of his books (that's probably still Unwind).

Dry isn’t my favorite by him but all his books I thinks the most rooted in potential to really occur

I finished .
I know I'm invested in the characters, so it makes me biased, but it was just wonderful. Soo excited for the last book of the series.

I also listened to my last Dresden reread via public library.
There's more book in the series, but they are not @ the library, so I will probably stop my reread rather than buy the remaining audio books.
will come out soon enough!

Read and started .
Again, I don't think the writing/ characters are well crafted, but there is something in the world-building that is keeping me interested.

I have really liked my few November picks:
-Romance : .
-YA fantasy : (I am still on it but I am enjoying the reading in spite of many typical YA stuff)

One holiday over and others pending... how did your November reading close out? Any highlights or lowlights you want to share?
