It is totally a duology. Didn't even realize that.

I'm so far away from freedom it's not even funny haha :P<br />This is actually a great idea for reviews of those books you thought were alright or good - an idea I might steal!<br />Teacup pigs remind me of the book Poison. I wish there were more companion animals in YA.<br />I like that Avalon is a duology. I'm intrigued by the cover too. The love of nothing kind of sucks but the surprise twists and sci-fi aspect all sound enticing.Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-343576857577085232015-01-30T15:08:17.417-06:002015-01-30T15:08:17.417-06:00I'm surprised you didn't like In A Handful...I'm surprised you didn't like In A Handful of Dust as much as Not a Drop to Drink. I thought they were both really good, couldn't-put-down reads. But we're all entitled to our own opinions! :) I've heard Let It Snow can be a little lack luster.

I was in the same boat as you. If I have characters that are hard for me to connect with on some level I don't enjoy the book as much.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-21884436864075925902015-01-29T10:28:00.996-06:002015-01-29T10:28:00.996-06:00Woo hoo for being caught up!

Can't honestly say I really read more than usual, but thanks to being on a graphic novel/short book kick lately, my January list is looming!<br /><br />P.S. 3 days til your challenge starts -- YAY! Are you planning to start with a re-read of Outlander for February or pick up with Dragonfly in Amber?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-63010056344587394252015-01-29T08:06:51.840-06:002015-01-29T08:06:51.840-06:00I adored Handful of Dust but yes it wasn't as ...I adored Handful of Dust but yes it wasn't as epic as the first. i also enjoyed Roomies and Avalon but they werent in my favorites. I had isues connecting with the charcters in both books. I have heard that the sequel to Avalon is easy to connect. So I may read that one.JennReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278066926315928070noreply@blogger.com
