some time to really digest them because I've gobbled them down so quickly, & if I try to review them right away, it's not as coherent or thorough as I'd like - not that my reviews are always much of either. I tend to write very personal reviews. But regardless of my style, those books that I almost mourn finishing; that I want to start rereading as soon as I finish because I don't want to let go of that world yet, are usually those I need more time to process before I can write a decent review.

Word Taster says:

I know. I'm the same way when I'm really excited about something I've just finished & absolutely loved, especially those books I just can't put down & end up sailing through way too fast because I keep looking at my clock & saying to myself, "just one more chapter," & end up staying up all night finishing. And it's those books that I'm depressed about finishing cause I want MORE! Heheheh. But those are also the books that it's good for me to let sink in before I write a review. I find I need...

Hey DofF,
Thanks for the recommendations. It would be great, though, if you wrote a bit more about the books... why you loved them and even if you compared them to something else you've liked/loved (or didn't) and elaborated... Why not write a review? It's great to know you really enjoyed them. It would be better to know why, and it would tempt more people to follow your recommendations, so you'd be spreading the joy that much farther and wider!

Hope things are good with you.

Thanks for the recommendations! I also really LOVED Blood Red Road and Divergent as well!! I'm looking forward to reading book two for each of them next year! :)

Hey DofF: Thanks for the invite. Glad to see you're at a school for the arts. When I went to Uni to study film prod (looong ago) I gave up drawing & painting for lack of time & it's something I regret now that I'm at home & do have the time. I feel as if I'm having to relive the same frustration I already went through once. Keep drawing, always (like reading). At least reading is a skill you don't really have to keep honed. Do you have a career in mind? Book cover illustration maybe? :)

It's pretty amazing! Going too Far is better, I find, but Forget You is also one of my favorite books, I think you should get it :)
Jennifer Echols is a great author!
