I enjoyed twilight, but found it poorly written, repetitive and drawn out. Due to its huge popularity however there are tons of new books coming out about vampires and other non-humans relationships with humans. I’ve found it difficult to distinguish the interesting, well written books from ones that are just trying to coast on twilight’s coat tails. Here are a few I have found that I really liked, and you might like too.
Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr (I’m hoping to get the third book in the series, Fragile Eternity, for Christmas)
hush hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black
Here are a few of my favourite books that feature awesome female characters
Stargirl and Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
How I live Now by Meg Rosoff
Luna by Julie Anne Peters
Kissing Doorknobs by Terry Spencer Hesser and A.J. Allen
Walk Two Moons, Absolutely Normal Chaos and The Wanderer by Sharron Creech
I like everything by Sarah Dessen but Someone Like You and The Truth About Forever are probably my favourites
There. Can you say you don’t have anything to read now? I don’t think so.
Actually, I always say that I have nothing to read. Can you please lend me some of these books and why haven’t you already? Why are you so mean to me that you have already given me some of these books to read? I call this CRUELTY TO DANA!
As you may already know, I am OBSESSED with the gothic novels generally (oldies) but right now I am very much into the Kelley Armstrong series of Otherworld novels with their awesome powerhouse of women supernatural characters, especially the werewolves. I would love to find some good woman focused werewolf novels but they may be elusive. If you can get me some new books I would love you more than I already do if that is even possible…
The next weekend that you’re here I will lend you something 🙂 I promise. I would also love to find stories about women werewolves, maybe we can search together? I promised to lend hush hush to Jane first, but I think you’d really like Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange so I shall fetch them from home so they’ll be all ready for you. Sound good?
We can’t have cruelty to Dana, I am NOT okay with that!
