Vampirates wasn't as terrific as I anticipated but nonetheless I love it~ Lorcan's my favorite. He's the "handsome saint who can kick ass" type. Squee~
I'm now reading Hunger Games. I never appreciated reality TV shows so I never imagined getting hooked to this. I only checked it out because I'm curious on what made it so popular.... but now I understand! Haha! I'm really pleased with its strong heroine~ I'm now at chapter 6 and I'm sure I'll love it. Fortunately a friend has the next 2 books so I don't need to worry about getting my hands on those~ Wheee~
I'll be attending the book fair on Saturday and I want to know which sequels or other novels I shall get... so I need to check the part 1's or the samples of some of the novels I have. About those under the "To Try" section of this post, I'll just test around less than a hundred pages of each to see if I get hooked or not. If I do, I'll buy another book from the same author, hehe. If not, then I won't let myself risk in wasting money on something I'm pretty certain I won't enjoy. I know that list is incomplete... and that's just the YA novels! Gah! There are so many novels I want to try x_x I should've done this sooner! But now I have to rush x_x
Or maybe instead of sequels I should focus on checking out new books by unfamiliar authors? Gah! The problem of wanting so many @_@

  1. The Hunger Games? Oh my gosh, I cried for hours after Mockingjay. I think my friend saw her therapist. They're soooo depressing... and so worth it. They're amazing, just make sure to pace yourself.

    I'm at Catching Fire now and I'm worried of what's going to happen in Mockingjay =( I'll get ready!

    IT'S SO AWESOME! FINISH ASAP xD Hehe.
    Leviathan honestly didn't impress me much *only read first few chapters* but I forgot everything I've read so I should read it from the beginning again >_< I'm really hoping that it would be as good as everyone says for me

  4. Ooh, I LOVED Catching Fire. That one's my favourite. I just want to wrap Finnick up in a box and get him for Christmas. But Mockingjay is also really good, just... not what you expect.

    I was so relieved that Mockingjay was even better than I expected ^^ Praises to the author!
