Wow! There are a lot of books on your list. I'd love it if you could add one of mine. I'll send you an email.

I know, it's out of control! There are tons more that aren't YA, so they didn't get added. We're big fans of The Almighty Reading List.

A lot of books from both of these lists are on my wishlist, but I can't say I'm fortunate enough to own them. How's Raised by Wolves going?

TiffanyDall 41p · 752 weeks ago

I (Tiffany) really liked it. It wasn't really very original, but I liked the characters. The end was insane, I can't wait to see what will happen to them in the next book. Michaela loves it so far, but she's been so busy that it's taking her ages to finish. We're lucky enough to be able to pool resources and read each other's books or the lists would be a lot shorter. The only problem is trying to get them back. :)

Yeah, as someone who blogs alone, I can tell you that it'd be nice to be able to share resources.
So Raised by Wolves was good? It's a TBR for me, but I have to be careful or the hardcovers will send my already ginormous book allowance sky-high. I want to try it, but every time I look at in the bookstore, I end up distracted by something else and it gets cut. I may end up waiting till it comes out in PB.

I really enjoyed it, but (if I remember correctly) it's not a very long book. Maybe it would be more bang for your buck to wait for paperback? Have you read Sabriel by Garth Nix? One of my all-time favorite books/series/authors.

I read the Sabriel books when I was in high school. Actually, I listened to them on tape. I loved them. I hear he's really good friends with Isabelle Carmody, whose dystopian novels (the Obernewtyn Chronicles) are awesome. I have a total Aussie/Anglophile thing going on. Have you read the Demon's Lexicon series by Sarah Rees Brennan. You absolutely, definitely, completely should.

The Demon's Lexicon is at the top of my list, but I haven't gotten to it quite yet. I've never heard of Isabelle Carmody, but I'm going to look her up. Thanks for the recommendation!

5/5	Wonderful, very engrossing, would recommend to all.
4/5	Good, worth a read, would recommend selectively.
3/5	Decent, probably worth a read, would give a sequel a chance.
2/5	Disappointing, had trouble finishing, had to binge on campers after.
1/5	Camper the book was found on had better get his affairs in order.
0/5	Very rare, terrible book, would warn anyone against reading.
