Passenger was great, but my expectations were probably a little bit too high. I forgot how much explaining has to be done to create such an intricate world, so some parts felt a bit slow.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-28087028161558300402016-02-14T14:43:07.869-08:002016-02-14T14:43:07.869-08:00I felt the same way about Ash, and while I loved t...I felt the same way about Ash, and while I loved the first two books in Taylor's series, I couldn't even finish the third.

I do that when I have time, but there are too many days that that doesn't happen.<br /><br />I always have a giant list of books that I want to read, which I like, but this is one of the first times that there's been SO many books that I want to read AND have a physical copy of that I think "I MUST READ THAT IMMEDIATELY!" and then I can't decide. What a great problem to have.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-51268332984913772672016-02-09T09:59:25.567-08:002016-02-09T09:59:25.567-08:00lol.

Somedays (or weeks, as with January) I fall off the bus and don't read anything. And then some days I eat three books so it makes up for everything. *shrugs* It's a matter of stealing all the little moments you can and cutting stuff out of your schedule that isn't as important as reading. <br /><br />I can't wait to read them! *attacks the library* <br /><br />Tbh, I find huge TBRs inspiring, and I always try to keep mine as big as possible. Like you, I would probably have trouble if my TBR got too short. *cries at the thought* I'm a little behind where I wanted to be for February, but I also think I'm catching up. So we'll see what happens. :P Liz Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823595869843889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-76717298658160130962016-02-04T20:21:27.187-08:002016-02-04T20:21:27.187-08:00My thoughts exactly on Ash!

Definitely put those books at the top of your list when you want something with a great cast of characters.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-81747841566222875782016-02-04T00:56:16.894-08:002016-02-04T00:56:16.894-08:00Ooh I was the same about Dreams of Gods and Monste...Ooh I was the same about Dreams of Gods and Monsters and also Ash. Just pretty meh to both? I was sad about Ash because usually I LOVE retellings, but it hardly felt retold? It just felt like the same-old Cinderella story, albeit with diversity (which was great) but yeeeah. I need a bit more. AHHH I NEED TO READ SOME BRACKEN SOMETIME SOON.<br />Also congrats on a good reading month! I'm the opposite and I had a rather boring reading start to the year. Blah. But February has had 4 and 5 stars from me so far, so it's looking up! :D<br />Thanks for stopping by <a href="http://www.paperfury.com" rel="nofollow">@ Paper Fury!</a> CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-5536786381951305352016-02-03T17:28:34.848-08:002016-02-03T17:28:34.848-08:00A week off from reading?

There have been months where I take a week off from reading if the rest of my life is busy, but unless I pack in a bunch of comics, I only read maybe three books those months.<br /><br /><i>A Thousand Pieces of You</i>, <i>Ten Thousand Skies Above You</i>, and <i>Passenger</i> are ALL so good! I can't wait to hear your thoughts when you get to them.<br /><br />I'm already behind on my February TBR. I think if I tried to stack all the books, they'd fall on me and I'd be flattened. But really, how much of a problem is a huge TBR? I think I'd have more of a crisis if I had too <i>little</i> to read.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-70188891434095842312016-02-03T17:22:47.372-08:002016-02-03T17:22:47.372-08:00NIGHT OF CAKE AND PUPPETS IS SO WONDERFUL!!

I think the two best options are to either read it immediately because you NEED it in your life (trust me) or to save it for a rainy day because it's pretty much guaranteed to cheer you up.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-1287943652325765972016-02-01T06:25:30.006-08:002016-02-01T06:25:30.006-08:00*applauds you* I haven't read any of those boo...*applauds you* I haven't read any of those books, but I'm starting <i>Days of Blood and Starlight</i> today. *nods* I read fourteen books in January, which kept me just on track for my Goodreads goal, but it was also a disappointing month for me in that way because I took an entire <i>week</i> off from reading. Which was really like falling off the wagon for me, and I hate it when that happens. *slinks off to sulk* <br /><br />But I'm glad you had a good reading month! :) I really need to read <i>A Thousand Pieces of You</i> and <i>Ten Thousand Skies Above You</i>. They've been on my TBR pile forever. <i>Passenger</i> is also really high on my list. <br /><br />My February TBR is already high enough to bury me. *hides* Liz Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823595869843889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-89350339597664245712016-01-31T21:13:21.832-08:002016-01-31T21:13:21.832-08:00I need to read A Night of Cake and Puppets - love ...I need to read A Night of Cake and Puppets - love those two and I've read the trilogy already. Such good books! Yay for reading so many books this month. I read 15, which is really good for me.
