I finished reading that about two days ago, and yeah,I do agree that it's a great book. Though I did get bored in the 200 pages..I guess it's a bit draggy and Lauren Oliver spent too much time describing everything. But,other than that, everything was cool. The premise behind the plot was very interesting and risky, buy Lauren Oliver did good. but alexxxxxxxxx, oh god whyyyyyy :(

Kindle.
And if you do decide to buy it, it only costs .99 cents like I can't even believe.

Sure, no problem. I'm about halfway through with it and I should be finished by tonight or tomorrow in the morning. I'll make sure to tell you what I think about it.

Oh cool. Well, everybody says it's the best book in 2011. It's pretty cheap, don't ya think? o_o

I haven't read UNEARTHLY yet. I have Hush Hush on my Kindle is it that bad?

Janine, if you haven't read Discovery of Witches yet, you HAVE to. It's my fav book of 2011

I've been thinking about Unearthly since pretty much everyone I'm friends with on Goodreads says it's amazing. Why they would put it so cheap in ebook format I do not know, but I'm glad for that. 99 cents for one of the best books in 2011 is a pretty good deal and I'm going to make sure I get it on my Kindle Fire before Hallowed comes out. Why? Because when Hallowed comes out Unearthly is going to rise in price. This happened with Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side used to be FREE until about 2 weeks ago the sequel came out. Once the sequel came out Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side was no longer free and you now have to pay about 7 dollars for the book in ebook format when it used to be FREE! So buy your copy of Unearthly now for 99 cents before it's too late!

Hush, Hush isn't bad. It's just unoriginal. It's basically every paranormal romance cliche put together in one book. But it's not like I expected anything else when I first bought it.

Have you read Twilight? I think if you like Twilight...you'll like Hush Hush

Alejandra wrote: "I've been thinking about Unearthly since pretty much everyone I'm friends with on Goodreads says it's amazing. Why they would put it so cheap in ebook format I do not know..."

They sell them for so cheap because they are new authors that are not well known and they want people to buy their books. People are more willing to pay .99 for a book from an author they haven't read before than $5 or $6 or more. It helps them get their name out. Usually the sequels will cost more.

A lot of times new authors will even give their first books away for free just so people will read them and tell their friends how awesome they are :)

Yes, it is bad, Hahaha.
Discovery of Witches? Sounds cool. I will, thanks! Right after I read Divergent. My twin's done with it so yeah.

But I love Twilight. Hush,hush is like a poor imitation of Twilight. (really) First few pages and boom, I'm knocked out. But I guess it depends on the person.

Gotta buy Pandemonium and Hollowed ASAP.

I didn't love Twilight, I don't love Hush Hush. I think in some ways Hush Hush does imitate Twilight. But I like Patch more than Edward/Jacob. Like you said it depends on the person...

Are Hush Hush and UNEARTHLY part of a series? Are they the first books?

Why do most new authors now write in a series? I would love to read an awesome book and not have to wait for a sequel.

I can't understand why everyone is jumping on the Twilight band wagon. Can't writers come up with anything original anymore.

Yes, Hush,Hush and Unearthly are part of a series. If you do want a book that doesn't have a sequel then I suggest you read this:



It's a dysopian novel. Though I haven't read it, the reviews are reassuring.

Happy reading!! And I heard they are coming out with a movie of Cinder... Is that true do you know?

Is Cinder any good? Cause I've been thinking if I should buy it or not..-_-

I think it's really good, but that depends on what you like. If you're going to be reading this book for Chinese culture you won't find much of it in this book. On the other hand, if you're interested in a Dystopia type of book then this will probably be the book for you. I'm loving it so far and it's the second best Dystopia book I've ever read (Divergent by Veronica Roth will always be first in my heart).

Currently reading and loving it :D

I'm not sure if it's true that Cinder is going to be a movie, but I sure hope so! It's an amazing book and I would definitely pay money to go see a Cinder movie. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Faye wrote: "Currently reading and loving it :D"

I loved it, too! It's the best Dystopia book I've read. It's definitely a page-turner.

I'm definitely feeling that! Pretty certain that I will have finished it by tomorrow (I started it late last night and considering the size of it and how slow I read, that is quite a feat!) :D

Well since I'm interested in Dystopian then I will probably love it... And I am with you all the way: DIVERGENT FOREVER!!! :) :)

Oh good! I'm totally into Dysopian novels.
Enclave by Aguirre is my latest favorite next to The Hunger games. And I'll be reading Divergent by tomorrow, so thanks! I'll probably get a hold of Cinder. :)

I really think it's awesome that Keary Taylor managed to put everything I want in one book. It didn't seem possible.

WAITING FOR EXTRANORMAL BY SUZE REESE. (Will be published in 2012) :(

I specially like its cover, but they said that they're gunna have to change it. I don't get why they have to. The cover is already amazingggggggggg *sob*

I am reading A Walk To Remember by Nicolas Sparks.

Currently reading - Historical fantasy FTW!!!! Russian royal family! Magic!!! :) Loving it so far.

Also I wasn't a big fan of DIVERGENT - I was disappointed by all the hype

Now that I'm almost done with Cinder I feel the need to say that this is one heck of a book. It definitely deserves all the hype its been getting and it is definitely one of the best Dystopia books I've ever read. I'm going to be pining for the second installment. I do recommend this book to anyone looking for a new and refreshing read.

I'm trying to get my mother to buy Clockwork Prince but that Cinder book sounds good too......

It's impossible to get my mom to buy me a book with HER money. Cinder is worth it and I haven't read Clockwork Prince yet, but that book seems worth it as well. Tough decision...

currently reading

just passing the time until Chase arrives...

What six books?? And lol I could never read that many books at once but good luck with the challenge! :)"

I am trying to read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister ; Strangers at the Feast ; Wicked ; The Apocalypse Gene ; Forever ; & Ballad

Jigglypuff77 wrote: "I'm trying to get my mother to buy Clockwork Prince but that Cinder book sounds good too......"

Both books are good, but I suggest you buy Cinder instead. Clock work prince's plot and story is almost the same with the Mortal Instruments series. Trust me.

Jigglypuff77 wrote: "I'm trying to get my mother to buy Clockwork Prince but that Cinder book sounds good too......"

What Janine said. Really, I loved the Infernal Devices series buuut the similarities it has with Mortal Instruments is just astounding. I'd buy Cinder if I were you (:

Faye wrote: "Currently reading and loving it :D"

I adore Divergent!!

Melissa wrote: "Is Cinder similar to the MI and ID?"

Oh no, I don't think so. Cinder is about Cyborgs or something but I haven't read it so I can't really say :)

I do. Butttttt yknow, I just think that The clock work angel and clockwork prince has the same concept with The mortal instruments series. Same hot bad-ass dude, same desperate girl. Don't get me wrong tho. I love The mortal instrument. :D It just seems...redundant.

Hi! Right now, I'm reading Laura Weisberger's Last Night at Chateau Marmont :)

Well, I've just finished Clockwork Prince and I loved both books. I haven't read any of the Mortal Instruments Books, yet. I thought Infernal Devices was very similar to a Jane Austin novel but with vamps, wolves and demons lol

I will be making a list today of what I have on my kindle to read and what you peeps have suggested.
