What do you think about The chocolate War and A Great and Terrible Beauty? I have them on my to-read list and I'm curious to hear someone's opinion on them:)

Lindsey I'd love to hear your opinion on A Great and Terrible Beauty, too. I wasn't impressed but my sister liked it and it's rare that we disagree on books!

Good luck on your page count quest!

I don't think I actively disliked it, but it just wasn't my style, I guess. I read a lot of fantasy novels and I tend to expect my fantasy to be dense and subtle, which Great & Terrible Beauty was not. I still think it was an okay book, especially considering that it's a YA title.


message 14: by *♡Sandy♡* (new)

*♡Sandy♡* (sandy163rd) | 22 comments That is true.But now that I finished,now I so want to but the next one Rebel angels..I loved it you should give it another chance..

I keep intending to pick up the second one, just to see if it gets any better. I read the first one with my sister, so I'll probably read the second when she does.

I love giving book recommendations... I used to be a children's bookseller and somehow never got out of the habit. That was the best part of my job, especially when I had a parent come back and tell me that their kid devoured what I recommended. You obviously read a lot of YA material... is there anything in particular you want recommendations for? Or anything that you look for in a story like characters or world-building or historic accuracy?
