Skloot's not only a great writer, she's an amazing storyteller.

Glad you loved Insurgent - I had to start it as soon as I finished Divergent (I just couldn't wait)... but then I was so sad when I remembered that I have to wait for the third book.<br /><br />I just bought Laini's second book - can't wait to start reading it.

I've had Skloot's book on my shelf for ages but I've been a little afraid to dive into it because I was scared that it would be too much science for me and not enough story - SO I'm glad you described it like you did. It draws my eye almost every time walk by my shelf, I just need to take a deep breath and not be afraid to pick it up.

It's always so fascinating to see what the author of my favourite characters looks like in real life. I, too, waited a while to dive into Roth's work (just finished Insurgent last weekend actually), but it was worth the wait. And I totally agree with you on Laini Taylor -- I loved Daughter of Smoke & Bone SO MUCH and I can't wait for the second book to arrive at the library so that I can dive back into Karou's world.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191496127517215717noreply@blogger.com
