However, I know not everybody likes the series, especially if they find Gen annoying.

I was interested in the series since it follows the MC into early adulthood, like Anne of Green Gables. I prefer the lyrical writing in Montgomery's series, but it's fun enough to keep reading the first book. I have a bad habit of reading too many books at once.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-14442737657793000002013-03-27T08:18:27.540-04:002013-03-27T08:18:27.540-04:00You might be the first person to say they like the...You might be the first person to say they like the Crown Duel cover, haha.

Actually, regarding the Jessica Darling Series, did you enjoy Books 3-5. I read the first two, but there have been so many mixed reviews about the rest of the series that I'm a little apprehensive to continue. Anyway, I still need to read Anne of Green Gables (I KNOW!) and Crown Duel, so I'll hopefully get to those two soon! Great list, Steph! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-37991349204926385072013-03-26T20:08:48.156-04:002013-03-26T20:08:48.156-04:00I love the Kate Daniels series, and really anythin...I love the Kate Daniels series, and really anything that Ilona Andrews comes up with.

I recently listened to Anne of Green Gables on audio, and I fell in love almost immediately. I'm on the third book now and can hardly wait to get stuck in. Brilliant list, Steph!

Snarky woman + an Alpha... Sign me up! I got Crown Duel from my book club Secret Santa and it looks great. The cover alone is amazing. Anne + Jellicoe... my heart. This line is gorgeous and perfectly describes Marchetta --> "singlehandedly writing the entire realm of emotions into existence."

Teen angst isn't my cup of tea, even though I love Catcher in the Rye, and don't mind it if it's done well. (After all, it is a natural part of being a teenager. It's when it borders on selfishness that I don't like it.) I've heard Jellicoe Road is great, as well.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-58172171208820152412013-03-26T12:01:27.704-04:002013-03-26T12:01:27.704-04:00Yes to Kate Daniels, Crown Duel and Jellicoe Road!...Yes to Kate Daniels, Crown Duel and Jellicoe Road!
