[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 6074779, member: 2093"] Let's see... reread the Hobbit. After seeing the movie, I had to get the real story back in my head. Movie wasn't bad, although I could have done without Radagast. But the book is one of my all-time favorites... Read a Teen novel called "Survivor" - it was okay, about a girl who lives through a plane crash even though she's suicidal. The romance was a bit too pat, though. Read "Pure" - SF dystopian, pretty much YA. Had some world-building issues, and one or two Huh? moments, but overall I liked it. Also read a YA fairytaleish story by Jodi Picoult and her teen daughter. It called "Between the Lines". Good, not great. Imaginative and had some nice things to say about family. Again, the romance was a bit too easy. Tried to read Crown of Embers, the sequel to Girl of Fire and Thorns, which I loved. Got about 1/3 of the way in and gave up, skimmed the end. I am SO tired of first person, present tense! and the heroine seemed much flatter, less able to understand either herself or others in this novel. Lastly, I've started Seraphina, by Rachel Hartman - another YA - this time a pure fantasy. I'm only a few pages in, but so far so good. It's about the relationship between humans and dragons. The reviews have all been positive, anyway. [/QUOTE]
