But seriously. Thi...SO MUCH YES IN THIS POST! HAHA<br /><br />But seriously. This is exactly, EXACTLY how I feel about Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series. I love Sydney and Adrian together but I'm pretty sure their relationship in the hands of another would absolutely make me despise it and I wouldn't be able to continue the series. In fact a lot of the books contain elements I would normally hate but Richelle does something to make physically unable to stop reading.<br /><br />"Authors, man..." indeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226849264748162926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-27564910804416068042014-08-15T15:05:01.960-04:002014-08-15T15:05:01.960-04:00Hahaha I love this post :D

I should've hated that lack of world building and that love triangle...but OH MY GOD I LOVE IT ALL SO MUCH. That series is to die for, but there's so much about it that — technically and normally — I would absolutely hate.Miranda @ Tempest Bookshttp://tempestbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-58911918595355448162014-08-15T14:45:32.733-04:002014-08-15T14:45:32.733-04:00Wow, you are so accomplished.

Actually this made me think of Richelle Mead because I hated anything vampires and such and generally stayed away but then I read VA and... it sucked me in and I binge read the entire series and shipped Rose and Dimitri so hard!

Because it's soap opera ish, but ohmygosh I was SO into the Salvatore bros. And Queen of Someday, which I recently read, has some issues in the sense that the character makes some really poor choices but I don't care because I liked it anyway! And I totally agree with Between & Katie McGarry (& love love love Dare You To). <br /><br />You're totally right, authors are wizards.<br /><br />-P.E. @ The Sirenic CodexAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045558423044874125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-55831195390821456922014-08-14T18:18:52.593-04:002014-08-14T18:18:52.593-04:00Haha what a fun post. yes, authors are wizards, an...Haha what a fun post. yes, authors are wizards, and they do lure you in with their elegant writing or their interesting world building or story telling. It is quite fun when you enjoy a book you didn't think you would. Maybe for me that is the Outlander series. Historical fiction, EPIC novel length, but the characters keep me coming back.Julie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462386948229063576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-35483251522854182132014-08-14T17:41:54.423-04:002014-08-14T17:41:54.423-04:00Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blankman was by ...Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blankman was by far one of my favorite books of all time.

I do have mad shippy love for them.Alexia Boesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084749931224225112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-16330128145355397062014-08-14T14:09:08.337-04:002014-08-14T14:09:08.337-04:00Oh, KASIE WEST.

WHAT WITCHCRAF...HOW DO YOU DO IT STEPHANIE PERKINS? WHAT WITCHCRAFT DO YOU EMPLOY? <br /><br />Let's see, authors that have caused me to completely leave my principles/ethics/morals behind. Well, Leah Raeder. Unteachable is full of things that I'm so not a fan of and yet I SHIP IT LIKE FIRE I DON'T EVEN CARE. Same with Karen Marie Moning. Mac/Barrons had me so conflicted, I had a 5 person conversation with myself (6 if you count the moderator). Then I went one step further and typed it up. Because reasons. The Night Circus has a fairly troubling main ship and WHATEVER THAT BOOK IS MADE OF PURE MAGIC AND SPUN SUGAR UNICORN DREAMS (GO WITH IT) AND I LOVE EVERY WORD. Ditto your thoughts on The Falconer (although I've been shipping teenagers with immortal beings for years now *cough* Spuffy *cough*) The Shiver series, objectively I realize basically nothing happens in those books BUT MAGGIE I LOVE THEM SAM AND GRACE ARE LOVELY PEOPLE WHATEVER.<br /><br />Ummm what else? I don't know. Other stuff. I can selective denial like a CHAMPION.

I don't read many contemporaries and when I do, I try to read the darker ones. I gave Kasie West a shot with On the fence when I wanted to try something fluffy and she got me.

I had the same problems with that, to be honest. The drama would be a major no no otherwise, but there is something about the tone of that book and the characters that just sweeps you up in it anyway. But yeah, that is why I ended up only giving that four stars.<br /><br />I'm thinking... I am also a marshmallow, so I was really surprised and impressed that World After by Susan Ee was feasible for me to read in spite of ALL THE CREEPY. And then I just loved the dark and gruesomeness, so I was like, woah, am I into this kind of thing now? But it's the writing, the plot, the characters, I just caaaaaaaaare so much. <br /><br />Usually, though, I just fall for the same kinds of books. But I will say, Kasie West is definitely a wizard because HOW DOES SHE BRING ALL THE FEELS TIME AFTER TIME SRSLY?Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067361314969302669noreply@blogger.com
