I haven't read any of these books either! I've found that a lot of the current trending books are not to my liking, although I love YA and fantasy.

I really want to read Outlander and Shadow and Bone! The Girl on the Train was so good but I know the reviews are pretty split down the middle. I'd love to hear what you thought if you ever get around to reading it :)

My TTT!

Something Real and The Sky is Everywhere are must reads, Nicole! Those two books are favorites of mine. :D
Ashley, I think you would love Shadow & Bone and ADSOM! ADSOM wasn't really on my radar, but I read the book and fell in love with it! :)
I hope you guys try out these books soon!

Outlander is great because Claire is my spirit guide. Seriously loved that character. The Sky is Everywhere was okay, I think I gave it a three for kind of rushed love. Shadow and Bone I did not finish, nor Miss Peregrine's. Both were me not liking the main characters too much. And boy, Discovery of Witches was up and down. I loved some of the details of the story, but overall the MC turns into a pile of mush when she meets a (vampire) man...

Outlander and Shadow and Bone are fantastic! Definitely worth reading. I actually haven't read any of the rest yet, but I want to. I'm realizing how huge my tbr is after today!

Outlander and Girl on the Train were fantastic! I need to read Shadow and Bone and ADSOM soon. I have V.E. Schwab's other book, Vicious, on my list this week because it sounds more interesting to me!

The only ones I've read are The Sky is Everywhere, which is one of my favorite books :) Every Day was just okay for me (too weird.) and Shadow & Bone was really good, but I haven't read the rest of the series.

I do't have any interest in Outlander (don't the the Stephs!), it's way to long for me. I have a few of the others and I hope to read Looking for Alaska and A Darker Shade of Magic.

Looking for Alaska is my favorite John Green book! You should definitely get around to that one soon. I also want to get around to reading Outlander and Every Day because they both sound excellent.

Looking for Alaska is a pretty short read, so you'd be able to knock that out quickly. Something Real omg you MUST read it ASAP. I demand it! Seriously one of my favorites of all time.
I still need to read The Sky is Everywhere, too, and I might try Shadow and Bone someday. :)

I haven't read any of these either! *hangs head* BUT. I did start listening to The Girl on The Train on audio a month or so ago. It expired from the library so now I'm back on the holds list, but I was enjoying it. I definitely need to read Something Real and I plan on reading Shadow and Bone for my series challenge next month!
