Read it!<br /><br />@ Heidi -- Circle Nine was really really good in a really weird way. Though I have mixed feelings about the ending. I wrote a little review of it <a href="http://carissa-taylor.blogspot.com/2012/02/circle-nine.html" rel="nofollow">here.</a><br /><br />@ Alison -- I actually haven't read The Graveyard Book, but I would recommend anything by Gaiman, and definitely Coraline!

I'm reading it now and I wish I could devote a whole chunk of time to just finish it to see what's going to happen! I bought Tempest a few weeks ago and can't wait to start reading it ...

In fact, I have to confess - I pretty much locked myself in last Saturday and read all three books in one day. I was hooked!<br /><br />I need to read Delirium so bad - I have the book, I just haven't gotten around to it. <br /><br />New follower here, btw :).

@ Daisy & Ha...Thanks everyone for stopping by!<br /><br />@ Daisy & Hannah -- I haven't read Pandemonium yet, but I can't wait! I'd heard it ends on a cliffhanger, but I think Oliver does them really well!<br /><br />@ Mel -- I love both Stardust and Coraline, and I thought the movies were well done in both cases too. Gaiman is a master!<br /><br />@ Manda -- Yeah there were so many timelines in Tempest I could hardly keep them sorted. I thought the way Cross handled time travel was fascinating though!<br /><br />@ Hannah -- Me too! I realized when I made this that many of the books could really be cross-categorized. I was definitely pretty worried about Peeta there for awhile.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594436685900756259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124587072441332479.post-14199944900977661022012-04-03T15:52:41.958-07:002012-04-03T15:52:41.958-07:00Hahaha I love how you separated your list! I'v...Hahaha I love how you separated your list! I've read several of these, but there are definitely a few I need to check out. For me, The Hunger Games fell into the "one of the Characters Might Actually Die!!" because I was semi-convinced Peeta was going to be killed off and HAD to know if he was. Have you read Pandemonium yet? That's another major cliffhanger.

I thought it was awesome :D<br /><br />I'm reading THG right now and it definitely deserves his place on the list! :) Chime, fire & the partials are high on my list.

It's a very twisty and densish book. Once I'd sat down and dedicated myself to it, I did end up loving it!<br /><br />@ Book Slave & Ash - Partials is really quite good! It is a little on the long side, and heavy on the military aspects, but really kept my interest! <br /><br />@ Ash -- eeek that is a dang awesome Halloween costume.
