I really love seeing the Skulduggery Pleasant books in your site, I think I've mentioned I own a few titles but I am waiting that I get everything before I binge-read the entire series. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-78133553127295979392015-07-20T21:23:42.832-07:002015-07-20T21:23:42.832-07:00Thanks Virgina - this is two weeks reading though,...Thanks Virgina - this is two weeks reading though, so...

I enjoyed Gordon Korman's Hypnotist book, and Masterminds looks similar. I definitely want to check that one out. A Handful of Stars is coming up for me soon. I think I'm going to look into The Red Bicycle.... Sounds powerful!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your titles, Cheriee! Good luck with all you have going on. I hope you take some moments to BREATHE! :) virginiagphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101453535326198672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-36948461886514674322015-07-20T20:39:23.609-07:002015-07-20T20:39:23.609-07:00I was hooked from the first book!

I'm dying to read Shadow Scale but decided I had to reread Seraphina first, and I haven't gotten to it. Argh! So many books, so much time spent doing things other than reading....
