    Ooh nice ones! I definitely liked Wicked best too from that series. I feel like by the time I read the third one I had totally forgotten the world.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!

      I think the world building and polititcs were the most well thought out in Wicked. after that the books started to waffle.

    Nice list! Several years ago, I read the first two novels in the Miss Peregrine's series, and I was unfortunately reminded of my childhood fear of ghosts and the dark -- although I am an avid creepy movie watcher! Very good writing but not my cup of tea.

    But definitely need to finally pick up a V.E. Schwab book...each of her novels sound so good!

    Happy TTT,
    Nicole

    I haven’t thought about Wicked in ages, but it was a good read.

    Thanks for stopping by earlier.

    Great list! I haven't read the Black Stallion books in ages, but I also loved The Island Stallion when I read it. (It was probably my favorite of the series, too.) Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to

Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List

Image
My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by  The Broke and Bookish . Today's theme, the Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List ( could be blogging related, book related etc. -- meeting authors, reading x many books per year, finishing a daunting book, etc .) made me have to think. I suppose finishing  my To-be-read-list, an improbable task, because the list keeps growing. I would love to meet JK Rowling...but I think I'd panic, forget what to ask/say her, and just stare at her and make her uncomfortable. I'd also like to meet John Ajvide Lindqvist because he made me love horror. I want to read Watership Down and Jurassic Park ...but for some odd reason I keep putting them off. I would like to have my copy of Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiars, signed. I'd like to have at least one of my own stories published... ...and see it on a Best-seller list ;-) I want to know how the Kingkiller Chronicles ends, which mean Patrick Rothfuss would have to

Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In

Image
Today's topic was listed as Love Freebie   hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl ,  but I couldn't think of anything romantic, so I picked the Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In . In a book, you can go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone... But not every captivating story has a pleasant setting. It's one thing to imagine a world, it's entirely another to actually go there. 1. Arrakis, from Dune by Frank Herbert.  It's too effing hot! Too much sun, too much sand, too much sweat. If the heat doesn't kill you, the sand-worms might... 2. Purgatory-Golf Course, from I Am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist . It's got never-ending blue skies and green grass, what's not to love? I'm just resistant to the idea of a place with no food, no water, no sun... A place where the sins of your past will haunt you until you bleed. 3. Hollywood & Church of Scientology, from Leah Remini's Troublemaker. These are two locations that actually exist in the
