I usually don't get into things until they're just past the peak of their popularity and starting to wane. <br /><br />Divergent on Kindle was on sale for $3.99 on Amazon so I snagged it. I'm gonna make a point in reading it between now and the end of the year. Hahaha. <br /><br />As for Fifty Shades of Grey, I'd take Twilight over this anytime. Sure, there are issues with logistics in Twilight, but at least Stephenie Meyer knows how to entertain. I was bored out of my mind with Fifty Shades (minus the sex scenes). SO BAD. It's the second worst book I have ever read. So what was all that hype about? Blegh. <br /><br />Ellen @ <a href="http://glambooklounge.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Glamorous Book Lounge</a>Sweetest Ambrosiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16244000403632848788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-58704773003802814742013-10-20T11:37:48.542+01:002013-10-20T11:37:48.542+01:00@ Reviews from a Book Worm - I can relate to your ...@ Reviews from a Book Worm - I can relate to your experience of it.

But I find so many new books that I want to read that I never seem to find the time! <br />I know, it's part of the reason I hate starting a brand new series - if I love it the wait will be endless. But sometimes that makes the series even better, the year long wait and anticipation! I'm buying them for my sister so that hopefully we can discuss them together too. <br />Definitely make one, if you do come back and tell me as I would love to check that out. Great way to find new books!<br />Thanks so much for checking out my blog!

My mother heard about it, said it was similar to another series I was reading at the time (it isn't) and told my grandparents to give it to me for my birthday. If I hadn't been at their place and incredibly bored, I'm not sure I would have ever started it. I love the series though :)<br />Fifty Shades... ughhhh. I read about the first third before I tossed it. It's so bad >.<<br />I love Northern Lights! I really need to re-read that trilogy.<br />And Divergent is sooo good! Definitely one I also make other people read. When my sister was halfway through Insurgent she asked me where I put the third book. When I told her about the release date she was like 'Whaaaat?! You make me read this and now I have to wait for half a year until I see how it all pans out?!' I love discussing hte books with her though :)<br />Awesome list! I think I also need to make one of books I want other people to read...<br />Thanks for stopping by :)Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-30748265116122869122013-10-18T19:53:20.181+01:002013-10-18T19:53:20.181+01:00I loved Fire Bringer, such an amazing book as well...I loved Fire Bringer, such an amazing book as well.
