    1. That's bizarre. I haven't moved it? I changed the html coding around. Maybe it will work now?

      Delete
    2. Nope it Didn't work ! I tried !

      Delete
    3. Now?

      I fixed the coding in one place, but failed to fix it where it counted. I logged out of my account and copied and pasted the button to a different website and it seemed to work fine.

    1. : )

      I love meeting fellow dyslexics. You know, C.C. Hunter is also dyslexic? She also has a dyslexic witch (<---just spelled that 3 times) in her SHADOW FALLS series who is constantly saying her spells backwards and messing things up. So funny!

  12. Maybe Insurgent. I recommend the Divergent series to everyone haha

  13. My all time favourite series is Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy! My first book signing was from her too when she visited Melbourne! The movie is coming next year!! I'm so excited for it *fan scream* :D

    Btw, Minions for the win! ;D There is a movie for the Minions out next year as well! Awesome :)

    1. HAHA! I LOVE the Minions! They make me smile. I've seen both movies almost solely for them.

      There are a lot of people who like that Vampire Academy book. I have sworn off vampire books since the Twilight movies. There was just an explosion of vampire books. I was into vampires before they sparkled...
      Now it seems that's all they do. Bleeck! I'll come back to them in maybe a year or so when writers realize they're saturating the market and jump to the next big idea.

      Delete
    2. Everyone loves the Minions :D, everyone in the cinema laughed when they sang near the end of the second movie. Releasing a movie only for them will definitely be good.

      Haha, there's no sparkle stuff in the Vampire Academy series!! Just awesome fight scenes, romance and twists :D I read Twilight series at first to see what was so good about it. I did not like it at all! Haha, I didn't really connect with the characters and there are other writers who can write a much better fantasy novel (even in less pages!). Vampire Academy is much more better in terms of character's development, personality etc.. I think :) I've recommended this series to all my friends even though back then they hated the thought of another "vampire novel". They loved Rose because of her strong female character.

      I think the next big idea after the vampire is faeries, though most of them are a miss for me after the first book of the series.

      It's a bit sad for me whenever I go into a new store these days looking for a new good book to read. There will always be huge amounts of adult books and all because of the 50 shades of grey popularity :(.

      Sometimes, I feel like writing my own series >_< I have a few ideas... haha!

  17. Luner cronicles, Percy Jackson, I could go on forever though. Overall, I have to say that Percy beats everthing.

  18. The Hunger Games. I have recommended it to lots of people. Mostly people who normally don't read YA.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I recommend The Hunger Games! To a stranger? Via my blog, yes, definitely I have. In person, no, because I'm very shy! ;)

  22. I'm tickled pink by that gif of Toothless. When it comes to favorite books....that's like asking me to pick a favorite friend! John Green books definitely connect and resonate with me--but The Fault in Our Stars makes me cry. Tamora Pierce's Tortall books (Song of the Lioness, Immortals, Protector of the Small, etc) were my companions growing up. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles are a fun blending of fairy-tale fantasy and comedy. I've also got a soft spot for Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong because it was my freshman summer reading book -- the only one of those that I ever liked. That, and sprawling universes appeal to me.

    1. lol, I LOVE Toothless. My black cat, Binx, acts exactly like him. My husband and I joked when we saw the movie that the animators must have been stalking us to get personality for the dragon.

      Looks like you've really put in a lot of thought about the books. I'm intrigued. I may have to go find some of them.

      Delete
    2. I definitely recommend *all* of them. I got my boyfriend to read the Protector of the Small quartet (Pierce) and the first of Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles. I'm also pushing for another of my male friends to read Pierce. My father and I have enjoyed reading her novels throughout the years. I'm looking forward to a new book from Ms. Pierce in the fall. I've even met her and gotten a few books signed!


      Also, fun fact, Gail Carriger (The Parasol Protectorate series & Finishing School series) cites Tamora Pierce as one of her favorite authors. I get a special kind of joy when authors I read know/read other ones.


      Toothless is just precious. Alas, I don't have a cat to compare him to, but I can imagine that makes for interesting living!
