It's been a while since I've seen anything on Starcrossed. And seeing it only reminds me that it's one I've been meaning on picking up!
ReplyDeleteI had Starcrossed from the library and didn't read it in time. I keep wanting to get to it. The cover is so pretty and I have heard a lot of good reviews. I also want Statistical Probability. Looks really cute and another one that I have heard nothing but amazing things about.

ReplyDeleteI love Hugo...it's been so long since I read it, but I still remember it years later. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteJen
I hadn't realized Starcrossed was a Helen of Troy retelling until today, and now I want to read it! I also really need to make time for Finniken of the Rock because it's supposed to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteNew follower :) Starcrossed is an AMAZING book. I LOVED IT! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love TKM! And Starcrossed is sooo good! I hope you enjoy it! And I need to check out TSPoLaFS! I've heard nothing but amazing things!

ReplyDeleteJJ iReads
Check out what I got In My Mailbox this week
I think I'm going to go buy Statistical Probability after all. I saw it at my "cheap" store and the story is just too cute. I had an experience similar to that when I was in college and I loved to see how this story ends :) Starcrossed just looks beautiful but Goodreads is being cranky right now so I'll just have to look it up later (grrrr, goodreads).
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, girlie!!! Kristin @myparahangover
(one of these weeks I will beat you to your blog before you get to mine!!)
You got Froi!! That's so cool. I got it a couple of weeks ago... Can't wait to see your thoughts!

So glad you LOVED the Statistical Prob.!!! It just makes me so happy when people say good things about it because I fell so deep for the story.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really need to get my own copy of Starcrossed. I may have been in the minority who DIDN'T LOOOVE it, but I liked it enough to look forward to the sequel. Plus, let's be real, those covers are totally worth buying for.
Have an amazing reading week!

Starcrossed looks so good! And the sequel is coming out soon so I will have to get my hands on that one!

Froi of the Exiles by Melina Marchetta at ALA. I guess I'll need to read the first book. I haven't read anything by her before but everyone keeps telling me what a brilliant writer she is.
ReplyDeleteTSPoLaFS (whew) is adorable! Enjoy!
Ooooh, wasn't Statistical Probability WONDERFUL??? I loved it too.
ReplyDeleteI need to catch up on Finnikin of the Rock. In fact, I need to read Marchetta's books PERIOD. Starcrossed, too. I just picked that one up myself so that I can read the second one!
Great mailbox!

ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let me know how Hugo Cabaret is ... I've been seeing it at a school library where I volunteer and it looks good!

I still haven't read Finnikin of the Rock, since fantasy is my least favorite genre, but since it's MM, I know I will.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your thought on Froi
I actually really liked the movie version of To Kill a Mockingbird :) We watched it in school when we read the book, and it's a pretty good book-to-movie adaptation, although honestly, I think years ago they paid a lot more attention to the book itself when they did adaptation than they do now. :P
ReplyDeleteAwesome mailbox this week Alison! I hope you enjoy your movie and all of your fabulous books! :D
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my IMM. :)
