Books WORTH Book restriction!



Wondrous Strange is one of the BEST books I have ever read. It's a must read... along with City of Glass, just released by Cassandra Clare. If you read a great book that you want to share...blog and tell! Include title and author- and WHY you recommend it.

2 weeks off! I am soooooo excited! #1 priority... rest and READ! When you find a good book, it's worth skipping meals! I plan on reading at least 5 books, in fact, I am just getting ready to read Stargazer by Claudia Gray. I'll blog and let you know how it is.

Also ready to read: School for Dangerous Girls [I'll save it for you Dejah!]

Mrs. Duncan said...

In the middle of Stargazer... it's good! Hrs. Hollowell just finished Wondrous Strange and LOVED it! I told you Sonny was amazing! ;-)
Great Twilight party at Liz Rice's house. Go Team Edward! xoxo

really just testing this out, but I also finished Half-moon it was funny...

Mrs. Duncan said...

Jonas... did you like Half-Moon Investigations as much as the Artemis Fowl series? I thought it was a good quick read! Court- did you like Twisted? You got the book from Jacob, right? ;-) Save it for me!!!

I just finished Stargazer... and it's a total cliffhanger! Ahhh! It was good though- with an unexpected twist I didn't see coming. Cool!

I'm currently reading Little [Grrl] Lost by Charles De Lint. It was on a book review along with Wondrous Strange. I like it so far! I'm on page 87... but should be done by tonight! Next up: School for Dangerous Girls!

ya i got twisted from jacob...i hope u like it...ill definatley let u read it! and if school for dangerous girls is any good i want it! buh bye! ☺

Mrs. Duncan said...

I finished Little Grrl Lost- it was good! The cover has a comic book feel- the plot involves 2 girls and their magical connection. I give it 4 stars!

Reading: School for Dangerous Girls. It's good! I can't wait to see what happens!

J to da onaz said...

Um... I haven't read Artemis Fowl yet...
Oh yeah

The Last Olympian
The Soldiers of Halla
Wormhole Pirates on Orbis 3
...

Mrs. Duncan said...

I can't wait for The Last Olympian! We get Soldiers of Halla about the same time. P.J. Haarsma will be at Barnes and Noble on April 18th @3:00. He will sign Wormhole on Orbis! We have to go!!!
Finished School for Dangerous Girls. It's PG... but a good read. Onto Dreamhunter by Elizabeth Knox.

I have been relaxing and reading. I read Wondrous Strange and I loved it. I loved the mixture of Greek mythology. I also read Hunted by PC Cast. It was good but a little too much like the other books in the series. My favorite so far this break is EverMore by Alyson Noel. I LOVED IT!! The author does an amazing job building the characters and it is so suspenseful.

i just finished wake 2 minutes ago it was REALLY, REALLY good. i want FADE! it was really good...people have weird dreams...lisa McMann as a great imagination, i started wake yesterday and finished it today... next on my list... go ask alice!

Mrs. Duncan said...

Good for you Court! Hey... Fade isn't for kids under 17. Trust me on this... I finished it last week and it's not for young teens.

I finished Hacking Harvard tonight. It's by Robin Wasserman, author of Skinned. It was great! I'll save it for you Courtney- you would love it!

Next up...hmmm, probably Envy, book 3 of the Luxe series by Anna Godbersen. Hubby is home tomorrow, so probably can't power read. ;-) There's always tonight...

Mrs. Duncan said...

Finished Envy this morning. ANOTHER cliffhanger. Pg-13 plot..
What next...help! I'm almost out of new books! Maybe Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies...
