Ignite Me
Tahereh Mafi
Angela - you and I are sooo in agreement with the Lux series. I'd vote it Best Everything. lol OMG, that series, the characters, the surprises, the cliffhangers, the romance. And DAEMON BLACK. Need I say more? lol So, so sad this one is over.
ReplyDeleteRight. The series as a whole was beyond amazing. Not many people handle carrying series that long successfully and her books got better with each one!!! Probably my all time favorite series with shatter me in a close second. And yes whoosh hot steamy alien babies everywhere why isn't he real!!
DeleteBased on what y'all like, it seems like we have very similar tastes. So I cannot wait to read some of the books I saw here that I haven't read.
ReplyDeleteOh and am I very please that you didn't like Requiem as well, it seems like everyone I talk to loves it and I am over here like, NAH!
Anyhoo, Happy New and Good Reading :)
The series would have been one of my favorites if Lauren Oliver wouldn't have given Requim the worst ending in the history of books. Gah! Still so mad about it.
Deleteif she wouldnt have left it the way she did the series would have been one of my favorites. I even emailed her asking if she could make anther ending what would have been and she couldn't answer. let us know what books you pick up! and thanks for following
