I was certain there was no way Red, White and Royal Blue could live up to the hype, and I also wasn't sure I'd be in the mood for what I expected to be a light, fluffy read. However, it ended up being my favorite book of the year so far; I'd borrowed it from the library but loved it so much I bought myself a copy for future re-reads. It was even more hilarious than I'd expected, but there was also a surprising amount of depth that I hadn't anticipated.Angela @ Angela's Libraryhttp://angelaslibrary.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-66816693901499780242020-03-19T15:08:25.654-06:002020-03-19T15:08:25.654-06:00War and Peace is definitely one I want to read but...War and Peace is definitely one I want to read but don't want to read!

I mean it's on the best graphic novels list so I can't convince you more that :P I guess what I liked about the book is how it focuses on Poland during WW2 which I never knew much about before reading this book. Also, Red White and Blue - I would skip that if I were you since I am not a romance lover either and I am struggling to just get it over with.Monica Shastri Nica Fictional Fandomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278111986671062333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-60726174849067256072020-03-12T17:17:58.092-06:002020-03-12T17:17:58.092-06:00I feel exactly the same way about the Zadie Smith ...I feel exactly the same way about the Zadie Smith novel and also One of Us is Lying.

I haven't read White Teeth, but I read her book Z in college and I did enjoy that, so I've been curious about some of her other stuff. I've owned Columbine for years and hope to read it soon - I also want to read The Only Plane in the Sky. Just stock up on chocolate, we'll be okay. ;) ooh you have to read Maus. You might be able to find copies at the library, or just really cheap, since it's been out for awhile now. I love it though.<br /><br />-Lauren<br />www.shootingstarsmag.netShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-44783318999384006732020-03-11T06:12:15.002-06:002020-03-11T06:12:15.002-06:00I've not read any of these but I'll be hon...I've not read any of these but I'll be honest, I refuse to start the Martin books until he releases the next one.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-36710605439866500282020-03-11T05:10:20.678-06:002020-03-11T05:10:20.678-06:00Oh I love this tag!

But it took a lot for me to pick it up bc I thought it was too hyped up. And was wonderfully surprised when I read it. I hear you on depressing non-fic. It's why I don 't tend to read it unless it's true crime, and even I have to admit that's hellaciously depressing and yet I am hooked.Verushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640500646511533020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-58928155351145675962020-03-10T17:57:51.406-06:002020-03-10T17:57:51.406-06:00I actually loved Red, White & Royal Blue way m...I actually loved Red, White & Royal Blue way more than I thought I would!

Brienne's interactions with Sam's father are good. The two issues for me with this book are too many threads from Dorne and the Greyjoys. I still gave it four stars thogh and A Dance with Dragons is a great book after this one.chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.com
