I'm pretty sure you'll love it so yeah. Ha ha.<br /><br />Other than that, Angelfall, Crown of Midnight and Eleanor & Park are also must-reads. SO GOOD.<br /><br />I'm planning to read If I Stay, Where She Went and World After this summer so yes to those. =Sanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297915931078500505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-51617412095874338892014-06-30T09:35:52.939-06:002014-06-30T09:35:52.939-06:00Oooh okay OKAY!!

What a fantastic idea!! :D <br /><br />I'd recommend making sure you read Jellicoe Road, The Raven Boys, Eleanor and Park, and The Giver (I'm hoping to squeeze in a reread of that one this summer before the movie comes out!!! :D)! I loved all four! :) I also loved Graceling, but it's been a while since I read that one. :P <br /><br />You've definitely got some great picks on the list though, so no matter what you decide to actually read this summer, you're definitely in for some great summer reading! :DAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-49094504363411015942014-06-23T23:01:39.432-06:002014-06-23T23:01:39.432-06:00I can definitely vouch for the excellence of both ...I can definitely vouch for the excellence of both Poison Study and The Giver! I was not as thrilled with the sequels to Poison Study (I think I kinda skimmed them...) but Poison Study itself is a very enjoyable read. And The Giver's a wonderful dystopian YA written long before there was a bandwagon, lol.danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-27879471399342953622014-06-23T20:09:53.939-06:002014-06-23T20:09:53.939-06:00Excellent, I hope it works out!

Give me a heads up when you plan to read either and I'll do my best to fit them in!<br /><br />I'd be willing to bet money you'll ADORE CoM! Same goes for Raven Boys, especially considering you enjoyed The Scorpio Races :D<br /><br />Grave Mercy has been on my shelf for far too long, I MUST find time to read it SOON.Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-60166729581352923642014-06-19T22:27:35.024-06:002014-06-19T22:27:35.024-06:00So I hear!So I hear!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-10472917554461020732014-06-19T22:27:17.269-06:002014-06-19T22:27:17.269-06:00Ah excellent, it's so great to hear how highly...Ah excellent, it's so great to hear how highly you thought of Angelfall!

But yayyy, you make it sound SO fantastic!!<br /><br />That is a bit sad about the sequels to Poison Study being so sucky in comparison, but at this point, I've been hearing that about the series for so long now that I have accepted it and will definitely be treating Poison Study as a standalone now. And YES, it sounds way awesome!!<br /><br />I often hear that about Jellicoe Road - that it's a pretty confusing read that can be hard to get through and requires a lot of patience. Well, that doesn't sound great, but then I hear reassurances like yours that insist that it is worth it, and I get excited for it all over again!<br /><br />As for If I Stay - I can see why you would need to be in the right mood to read it. And I'm hoping at some point I will be because I don't want to miss out on the greatness that everyone talks about!<br /><br />No need to apologize for a long comment because it was super helpful and I really appreciate it, I promise! Thanks so much, Amanda.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-48695354465142330102014-06-19T21:50:56.130-06:002014-06-19T21:50:56.130-06:00Woohoo!!

Pretty low-key, just researching my thesis. What do you have coming up this summer now that your class is over?<br /><br />Actually a buddy read for Jellicoe Road would be really great! It sounds like it's a bit of a hard and confusing book to get into at first, though it's worth it in the end, so it would be nice to have someone to discuss the book with.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-12854729068575353142014-06-19T21:35:08.478-06:002014-06-19T21:35:08.478-06:00Aww, thanks Miche ^^
Heh heh! Well, clearly :) I ...Aww, thanks Miche ^^<br /><br />Heh heh! Well, clearly :) I certainly haven't forgotten about our planned buddy read of Graceling. We'll have to do that soon hopefully! And then there's always Poison Study and Angelfall to get to if you are looking for buddies to read those with! <br /><br />And YESSS, Crown of Midnight and The Raven Boys made my list partially because I KNOW how much you adored them!! And you ARE my book twin after all, so it's a very good bet that I'll love those ones, as well.<br /><br />Oooh, you MUST read Grave Mercy!! I loooved that one.<br /><br />And now I'm very curious about your experience with The Giver!<br /><br />That's too bad you were having problems with the poll? Everything seems to be okay now. And at least you left me an excellent comment so even if your votes didn't register, I still know what you think!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-24410409564613955042014-06-19T20:48:01.968-06:002014-06-19T20:48:01.968-06:00Thanks Juhina!!

Guess this means I'll have to read them all :) I really do plan to read them all, I was just hoping to get an idea of what I should read first. And I'm excited for all of them! Thanks for your thoughts - it's interesting seeing from the point of view of someone who has not read any of the choices either.<br /><br />Now the thing about Poison Study that I always hear is that book 1 is amazing, the rest of the series meh. So I only have plans to read the first and that sounds like a good deal to me!<br /><br />Heh, I love all the feels too!! It's been a while since I read a good feely book.<br /><br />Angelfall is one of the few angel books I know of that tends to fall under the category of good angel book!<br /><br />Yup, I've heard the same about The Raven Boys.<br /><br />I know I certainly love her!<br /><br />Ditto! I loved the first two books so CoM should be full of win!<br /><br />Thank you so much for the epic comment!!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-82769810911879837672014-06-19T12:55:19.173-06:002014-06-19T12:55:19.173-06:00Heehee, I remember your reviews and high praise fo...Heehee, I remember your reviews and high praise for all of them!
