I thought Greylock was written as any good ghost story should be...creepy. Some images from the book still haunt me from time to time, which means it has lasting impact. But I feel like a classic scary story never gets much credit or respect!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-58265096254932262522013-01-15T15:23:00.094-05:002013-01-15T15:23:00.094-05:00Carrie!!

I love your book taste, and not just because we often are right on par with each other ;) I admit that I struggled with the beginning of What Came From the Stars, as things were so muddled and confusing on the other planet. But once things heated up and Tommy was being hunted for what he had, I loved it. Thanks for stopping by!!<br />p.s. My copy of Ape just shipped yesterday, I can't wait to get it!<br />Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-8203412037999209992013-01-15T06:37:58.194-05:002013-01-15T06:37:58.194-05:00The Ghost of Greylock was really good.

Loved The Wicked and the Just, Lions of Littlerock, Liar and Spy, and The Raven Boys (wow!) I couldn't finish What came from the Stars and felt terrible about it as I LOVE Schmidt. Maybe at another time it will feel right. My whole family loved The False Prince We listened to it on audio. Happy Reading for 2013!Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-51927596916744064382013-01-13T09:31:56.430-05:002013-01-13T09:31:56.430-05:00Hi Gigi, Thanks for stopping by and leaving your t...Hi Gigi, Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts! <br /> I listened to The Raven Boys on audio, and it was one of the absolute best readings I've ever listened to. I don't know what you've got for a commute, but I highly recommend listening to that one. What other 2012s did you love? This is such an exciting time of year, but also stressful...don't want to miss an outstanding title before our deadline!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-61036518920406538392013-01-13T08:41:08.411-05:002013-01-13T08:41:08.411-05:00Great list!

Really need to read Raven Boys and The False Prince. I've heard such great things about them. Gigi McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090843830125090541noreply@blogger.com
