I really liked this series! I've only read the first one yet, but I already have the second one on my shelf. The egipcian background really impressed me! I haven't yet read The Heroes of Olympus series, but I want to. I liked Rick Riordan's writing a lot!

I looooooooove it *_____* Jennifer Morrison is great and, obviously, Robert Carlyle has my heart, too. I forgot her name, but the one acting Red is gorgeous! S2 Also, the plot is very interesting and the connections between the characters and their two lives are intriguing and amazing. I cried a lot when I saw the episode about Belle and the Beast. S2

Well... There's a classic I think it would be a good reading: The Slum by Aluisio Azevedo. There's also books by Chico Buarque, Patricia Melo and Clarice Lispector, more contemporary authors (but not so much). Sincerely, I couldn't find any of the authors I've read recently translated into English (what a shame...). Hope you like it. If you don't, just ask for more =)

Just finished The Selection by Kiera Cass and it surprised me. I loved how strong the main character is and I loved the love triangle! I read some reviews on goodreads and some people didn't like it at all! For me, it's almost a favorite! I SO want to read the second book asap!

I don't know if I really understand the "high fantasy" concept, but I think Richelle Mead's Dark Swan series fits in what you're looking for.

Alex, what kind of book do you like to read? You asked me brazilian authors suggestion, I wanna know your favorite genres to suggest you something

The Victorian setting is what's interesting me most! I think I'll be able to enjoy the reading for that, at least!

I've read Mortal Instruments's City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass. City of Fallen Angels and City of Lost Souls hadn't been published here yet. But sincerely, I'm not a great fan of this series. I think it's just okay. Clary got on my nerves on City of Glass, I really hated her. A lot of people has been telling me The Infernal Devices series is better, but I'm not expectant.

Thanks! And I always wanted to visit Europe (: Thank you! Oh, thank you for visiting! If you ever feel interested, there's a translation tool on sidebar, it might help. =)

Welcome! I love my kindle, too *-*

On Chapter 6 of The Selection by Kiera Cass and liking it so far. There's a Hunger Games vibe, but it's different. At the beggining it seemed that the author couldn't choose between present or past perspective, but now she chose and maintain on past. 17% on kindle.

I have this book on my shelf but haven't read yet! But your review made me curious =) Thanks!

Ops, I forgot to say the series name! Yep, there's only the first of The Body Finder series here. The second one is gonna be published this year, probably in august, when happens a big book fair here! ^^

so many books, so little time = story of my life =)

Oh, so great! Delirium is awesome, too! Both of them, actually, are on my favorite list! =o) I saw Marina's English version on amazon, but I don't know if it's a US or UK version =\ I LOVE all Zafón's books - including this one! He's marvelous!

I posted this review on goodreads and on my blog, so I thought I might post here, too. =) ] Allison Sekemoto fights for survival everyday in the Fringe. She lives in a city where the Vampires rule, and their first rule is human is cattle: registered to be food source. Allison can't stand Vampires, can't stand be used by them, and tries to survive being a unregistered human, fleeing and stealing everyday. One night, when she and her partners are seeking food, they are brutally attacked by the Rabids - beings that were attacked by Vampires and caught a disease -, and Allison has to choose if she dies or turns into what she abhors. This is just the beggining of this new Julie Kagawa's series, great author of The Iron Fey series. With vampires and dystopia, Julie managed to write a story full of action, fear and growth, and a little bit of naiveness and love. The narrative is structured by Allison's view, and she's a fighter and a loyal friend. It's very interesting see her figure it out the things of the past, since her world is permeated by the plague of vampires and rabids, and try to understand how was the world before hers. The main point for me in this book is Allison's constant doubt about what she is. She's always thought the vampires as bloodsuckers monsters, but what now, that she is one of them? She is also a monster? She is what she is or she is what she makes of her? Besides all the action and adrenalin parts (believe me, a lot!), Allison's growth is also something that is built through the story. She's very captivating, strong, loyal, determined. Moreover, all the characters are captivating. Every one of them surprise me, some way. I liked very much how Julie built her dystopic and vampirish world. It's a mix of new and old characteristics, new details, very well constructed. The dystopic world description is very good, intricated with the characters' situations and point of view. A lot of questions were left for the coming books, but even so the story presented on this book has a closing. I didn't like the cover, although it's related to the story. And I liked a lot to imagine theories about how the story will develop from the series' name! Congratulations for this great new series debut, Julie Kagawa!

Great books on your read-list! I'm very anxious to read Divergent and Insurgent! And Kimberly Derting! Here there's only the first book published yet, so I'm waiting for more books to start reading! And your wishlist has Julie Kagawa! Read it, it's very worthy! The Iron Fey series is beautiful and has some action, and Immortal Rules is very very good! =)

Hey, congratulations!

Ok, just let me deal with it for a moment.............. (hahahaha) Interesting, this one is on my favorites list =)

Oh, hope you get to read soon! Insatiable is marvelous!! \o/

great readings, pickle! wow, you've already read Midnight Breed #10... =O Here there are only the three firsts! the fourth will be outing soon, though! I've already read them and I liked very much (although nothing compared to Black Dagger Brotherhood series *-*)! and also Artemis Fowl! ooh, I love him, hahahah! This series is great! I've read until sixth book and it only gets better! anxious for the next one, but first I'll re-read since the beginning! I've already started re-reading the first one! \o/

Thank you very much! ^^ I hope you like both of them! ^^ Meg Cabot is a must-read for me! She can write the most juvenile romance as well as the most awesome vampire book as well as a funny police book! How awesome! I've also already read the most of her books! I guess every year they release something by her around here... This year has already two book to be released! \o/ Oh, what was the second book the released there? I hate when the publishers do that =(

The last film I saw was One for the money, based on Stephanie Plum novel. I liked it, but the book is waaaaaaaaaaay better (its always like this...)

poppyshake, you didn't like Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver AT ALL? =(
