I'm not a teenager, nor a big poetry reader, but I really liked this. Will have to read it again to see all the connections, think I may have missed a few, when life distracted me :)

It has taken me about one and a half year to read this one. I did like it when I was reading, but never longed to pick it up when I wasn't.

It's a very sad book, Tess has few joys in her life. I was surprised at the end, I didn't see what happened to Alec coming.

Fun as always from Ms Carriger. The last of Sophronia's adventures in finishing school. I shall miss her.

At first I found this one difficult to get into, interesting world, but I wasn't captured by the characters or story. I found it improved once Lila and Kell met.

If I understand correctly this is the first in a series? I may continue, but I'm not sure.

This was really cool. Definitely want to read more of the series.

Entertaining, fast-paced and great characters. Love this series.

I really liked this! Probably my favourite Atwood, after A Handmaid's Tale.

I'm still really liking this series!

These books are very entertaining, I'm definitely continuing with the series.

Wow! This was really good! Exciting, clever, interesting and has made want to read more science fiction!

This was great fun. Not, perhaps, laugh out loud funny, but entertaining and clever. Redshirts was the first book I've read by John Scalzi. It won't be the last.

I liked this book, it was sweet and an entertaining read. I liked Jane, though Melody annoyed me.

I've not been in a mood for YA lately. Some of these stories I loved, others were OK. I'm very happy the school librarian at the school where I work agreed we should buy this for the school library. I think my favourite stories were: Cookie Cutter Superhero, The Seventh Day of the Seventh Moon, Signature, Vanilla, Careful Magic and Happy Go Lucky.

I really liked this, although I don't think it was exactly what I expected. I'm not entirely sure what I expected, though. I especially liked the ‘living - not just surviving'-theme, with the symphony, the museum, the newspaper...

This was very entertaining: fast paced and I liked the world and the characters. I'm definitely going to read more of this series.

I don't read a lot of non-fiction, and I almost never read biographies or autobiographies. So, I don't really know what to say here.

I finished The Art of Asking just a few minutes ago. It's honest, and touching and heartfelt. It made me cry in places (I'm a dreadful crier when I read). In short I really, really liked it.

I'm and ESL teacher and every autumn I give my students of a certain course the assignment to write a song analysis. This is a struggle for a great many of them, they don't really pay attention to the lyrics when they listen to music. After the deadline for the analysis I play them the youtube clip of the TED-talk and we discuss it. They struggle with this too, but in the end we all get something out of the conversation. Thank you, Amanda Palmer.

This book is important. I don't read a lot of biographies or memoirs, it's not my thing, but I read this one really quickly and found it interesting and exciting.

A reasonably entertaining read...I've never been too fond of the vampire as a love interest. However, the book was fast-paced and I did like Honoria (apart from the name).

A quick and entertaining read. Fairly exciting. I liked the world...I may continue with the series.

This was really sweet, in a good way. I really enjoyed it. :)

There were things I liked about this book, the history parts for example. But I couldn't like Diana an Matthew. I especially had problems with their relationship, it's one of my pet peeves when a person doesn't believe their significant other, or trust them to do anything, so that set my teeth on edge. I'm not sure I'll continue with the series.

This was so good!

Paused. Apparently this is based on a roleplaying game. I've never played it, and the writing style doesn't fit me at the moment. I'll try again at a later date.

Actually, paused. I don't seem to get anywhere with this one. I did read a sizeable chunk, and it was interesting, but also creepy. I may come back to it some day.

I've started this a couple of times before, but put it down for various reasons. Being in the mood for some other genre, being in a reading slump... Now that I finished it I have to say I liked it. It wasn't perfect, but entertaining. I think I'll read more in the series.
