I absolutely adore that Bye Bye Bye is YOUR song. I am a particularly big fan of It's Gonna Be Me.
ReplyDeleteAll my friends even react when it comes on because they know it is my song. :D I'm just that cool. It's Gonna Be Me is also a good one!
DeleteThis reminds me that I need to finish reading Red Rising. I started it at the end of last year, but I ended up putting it down because I wanted a lighter read. I do recall being very impressed by the grittiness of the novel as well as the world building. And that was only about three chapters in...
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I am going to read it but for whatever reason the mood doesn't hit. I do love a good gritty novel...
DeleteI really want to check out All the Light We Cannot See too! It sounds so amazing. Same with Dorothy Must Die.
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Hopefully we get around to reading those soon!
DeletePrincess of Thorns is AMAZING! I definitely enjoyed that one a whole lot :) Also, I think it would be fun to sit down to tea with Marissa Meyer. She seems like a lovely human being in general <3 Happy Love-a-Thon!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Princess of Thorns. Why do I keep putting it off? Who knows. lol
DeleteYou're from Illinois too, woot! I spend too much of my money at Andersons Bookshop, ever heard of it? :) Also, love that NSync song, although when they were popular I pretended not to like them... lol. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, Y The Last Man would make an awesome show!!! Plus think of all those shows that are lacking in female characters... this would have a PLETHORA!
DeleteIllinois power!!! OMG, Anderson's Bookshop is amazing! They always have a lot of cool author signings as well.
DeleteOMG, Y The Last Man would be an epic show! I am so happy you get me. :D
Yes! Guards of the Shadowlands! That series doesn't get nearly enough love! :) I am super excited for all of those 2016 books you listed! And I definitely want to read Red Rising soon since everyone's been so excited about the last book coming out! I put the Darkling on my apoc squad too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't! Everyone should be reading it! We will kick butt with The Darkling on our side.
DeleteI really want to read Red Rising but I have to find or buy a copy first since my library doesn't have it. I haven't finished The Lunar Chronicles but I love them so far and I'd have lots of questions for Marissa Meyer if I ever met her!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your library doesn't have a copy! They may be able to order it for you from another library. The Lunar Chronicles is one of my all time favorite series ever. I thought each book was better than the last!
DeleteI love meeting blogger friends IRL. I did it for the first time during ALA annual, and it was just so awesome because these are the people I talk to! I get to see them in person!
ReplyDeleteReally excited for This Savage Song and The Forbidden Orchid. It seems like they're gonna be fabulous because the authors are too! I need to read the Red Rising series because everybody I know keeps raving about it and also space!
Isn't it a fun and crazy experience?
DeleteI am glad I am not the only one that hasn't read Red Rising yet. lol
