The Irish Banana Review: Stacking the Shelves #10

Rating System

A - This book was an absolute joy to read and I cannot recommend it enough; Run, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore!

B - I really liked this book, it might have had a few flaws, but it is definitely worth your time.

C - Not a bad book, but not something I would go out of my way to recommend. I probably won't keep it on my bookshelf.

D - I found this book to be lacking that certain spark that sets me off, and I probably wouldn't recommend it.

F - This book just wasn't for me, and I won't be recommending it.

You got The Elite! I wasn't the biggest fan of The Selection (I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would, even after the drama Cass caused with Wendy) but I have to admit, I'm SO excited to find out what happens next. I saw on Twitter that you're reading it right now - I hope you love it!

You got the Elite. You are a very lucky girl indeed. I'm so waiting to see what happens in the sequel. The Ward looks good. Thanks for visiting me earlier.

The Elite!! EEEEK! So happy for you! I hope you enjoy it. :)

I *really* need to read Cinder so I can decide whether to pick up Scarlet. And it amuses me to no end that everybody's going Team Warner *now*. I liked him from word go (but what do I know? I always like villains...) Loved Shatter Me so Unravel Me (and Destroy Me, really need to get that first...) are a must. As for Storm, I STILL need to read that one. (I hate that sentence. It gets used way too much...) and I'm still not sure if I want to continue on from Delirium or not. Had really mixed feelings there. But I hope you enjoy the rest of the series and that all of your signing plans, both for Marissa and Lauren, go well.

Have a fantastic week and enjoy your new books! :) Bye!

Amazing books Hannah! I can't wait to read The Ward and Life After Theft (I love the Wings series!) I'm glad you enjoyed the Elemental series, because I adore it. It's great when an author mentions a setting that you actually know, right?

Happy reading and thanks for stopping by!

So many great sounding books. The Ward sounds especially good. I hope to see more reviews for it soon!
I picked up Scarlet this week too and started it yesterday. Meyer is too talented for her own good.
