They tied in to the story so well.

Mortal Danger failed to impress me, but I LOVE the Veronica Mars book. As a fan of the show (and the movie!), I think it was great.

I found it to be boring (like you said, it does drag) but there's still a pretty good chance we would end up thinking differently on that so yeah. As for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, I'm a huge wuss when it comes to anything scary but pff there were only a few chills here and there. (JK, the only reason I managed just fine was because all of it was extremely interesting). Aaand, lastly. I recommend We Were Liars. I didn't like it that much but it's the kind of book you have to experience for yourself so, there.

And I am pretty sure I want to read Tease and Mortal Danger. And I am one of the three people on earth who didn't like We Were Liars. It wasn't even that I didn't like it, I was just completely underwhelmed by it. But it is a pretty quick read if you feel like going for it!

Let me tell you something. I did not finish Maybe Someday. It was way too boring and way too slow for my taste, and that's one of the reasons why I'm super apprehensive of reading Ugly Love. In fact, I'm not even bothered about it. I have read We Were Liars, but didn't end up loving it as much as many seem to have. And I am looking forward to read Ransom Rigg's books someday. As for all your other picks, I've not read them but at some point or the other, I've really wanted to, but I am not in the mood for them now. So, I get you there! Beautiful list, Eileen, and thank you so much for stopping by my post earlier! <br /><br />Sarika @ <a href="http://thereaddicts.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow">The Readdicts</a>The Readdictshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097650583426983309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564514482809281488.post-32599649437852397282014-08-12T19:03:49.117-07:002014-08-12T19:03:49.117-07:00Tease is a really emotional read, but it has some ...Tease is a really emotional read, but it has some really nice, happier moments in it as well.

That's not to say you shouldn't have any reservations, though. Her characters tend to be broken, so if angst isn't your cup of tea, you might not like them at all. :)joyousreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598919830723933043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564514482809281488.post-22910800497311213642014-08-12T16:20:24.898-07:002014-08-12T16:20:24.898-07:00You did pick a lot of books that seem to be "...You did pick a lot of books that seem to be "love it or hate it" books among the bloggers I follow.<br />For the record:<br />Loved: We Were Liars, Veronica Mars and the Whatever (but get the audio, because K.
