I am still hesitant about Red Queen. I like my fantasy epic and full of adventures (and preferably dragons). Over hyped books are the worst!

I am sure we will ADORE them. Everything, Everything is one I am SO interested in...maybe one day I'll convince myself to read it--and you, too! Thanks for commenting, Rebekah!

I think you ...Uprooted and Gone Girl were soo good! I think you should definitely look into those. If you like light fantasy, then you might like Red Queen. I personally didn't. Everything, Everything was really cute as well, but the book is over hyped. Hope you look into these books soon <3 Benish | <a href="http://feministreflections.com/" rel="nofollow">Feminist Reflections</a>Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718861012681693010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-37365137484377804062015-09-16T02:41:52.318-04:002015-09-16T02:41:52.318-04:00Hype is TERRIFYING.

I've been thinking about reading the Mistborn trilogy too - I heard about it a year or so ago then kind of forgot about it... oops! I agree with you about Everything, Everything... I was SO close to reading it and then... I was afraid I might not like it. This is a really great idea for a list, Erin! :-D And the graphic is lovely ♡Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-80842829774876961472015-09-15T21:54:11.344-04:002015-09-15T21:54:11.344-04:00Animal Farm is a total letdown.

That could be a good meme topic.

XD We both really need to read ADSOM, but, oh the pressure! Aristotle and Dante AND An Ember in the Ashes have both been on my TBR for way too long now... There are just SO MANY BOOKS TO READ!<br /><br />Brandon Sanderson is one author I just KNOW I will love. From everything I have heard, his books are practically written personally for me. I spotted The Wrath and the Dawn at my library earlier, so maybe soon? And Uprooted, too. 1984 is one of my favorites, too, and I WILL read Animal Farm, when I finally get over the book hangover 1984 left me with. I don't know if I'll love or hate Red Queen--we shall see. Thanks for the compliment on the graphic, Emma! I made it at canva.com and it was so easy and fun!

I still haven't read ADSOM and I really need to. I still haven't gotten around to it because, like you said, I'm just scared. :P I also really need to read An Ember in the Ashes, as well as Aristotle and Dante (which has been on my TBR for over a year now. For shame). So many books, so little time. <br /><br />I absolutely loved The Final Empire, The Wrath and the Dawn and Uprooted. I guess they really are hyped, but the Final Empire in particular is so fantastic that it's almost impossible not to like. It takes a little bit of time to get into (because it's the size of a brick), although I think you'll like it. I've read Animal Farm (because 1984 is one of my favourite books) and I did really like it, but in my opinion it just wasn't as good as 1984. And as for Red Queen, I really didn't like that one. So many people do love it, so I think it's just a matter of opinion. <br /><br />I love the new graphic, by the way! It's so pretty! *drools*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071516095216847742noreply@blogger.com
