Ah... so what do you think of Libba Bray's books? I really liked them, but part of me is afraid it's just the "I love exciting things" half of me. I was wishing one of my friends would read them and give me an educated opinion! lol!

I love Libba Bray. I think she's a wonderful author. I love the fact that her books are written in present tense, it makes for a fun and exciting read.

I agree that a lot of the reason I like her books is because they are a fun rollercoaster ride of excitement, but I don't think that there is anything wrong with that being the reason for enjoying a book!

I'm just about finished with rebel angels and can't wait to start the 3rd one! She's created such lovable, real, and enduring characters. I hope she writes more!

I love her characterizations! The characters are always the biggest part of a book to me; I can never like a book too much if it doesn't have well-rounded, real characters. Libba Bray did such a great job with that, and I too hope that she writes more.

The third one is so good... when I got to the end I couldn't put it down. It has a tearjerker ending, and I was reading on the school bus, so I'm sitting there trying to hold in the tears so everyone doesn't think I'm an idiot for crying over a book. lol!

I found I had read more books in the first 50 than the last 50 on the list. Many i had never even heard of!
