It's long so if the beginning doesn't pull you in then the rest of the book will be slow and boring. Libba Bray actually emailed me the other day. I invited her to my book club when we read it to join in a Q&A ... well she didn't get to the email till a few days ago but she was kind enough to reply!!!Angela's Anxious Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935144213302758223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-87705048245212538632014-01-05T16:14:55.528-07:002014-01-05T16:14:55.528-07:00I haven't read the Diviners yet, but I am king...I haven't read the Diviners yet, but I am king of dying too.

It's not my normal read but I really enjoyed it. <br /><br />Fangirl is on my TBR for 2014 as well.

The size of it is pretty daunting. For me to put aside all of my Must Reads, it requires a book that I'm REALLY into reading, and it just hasn't been on the top of my list. I'll get to it eventually, and I hope it's as good as everyone says!<br /><br />Eep, read Fangirl as soon as you can. I really enjoyed it and will probably read it again. I haven't read Eleanor and Park but I've heard a lot of great things about it, so I need to give it a shot in 2014. I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint. :) <br /><br />Great survey!<br /><br />Sydney @ <a href="http://utterlybookish.com/" rel="nofollow">Utterly Bookish</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109527480775466764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-76128238356362174772013-12-30T23:02:13.497-07:002013-12-30T23:02:13.497-07:00I love love Legend.

I think I will have to go back and rent it out. <br />And I agree about the Legend series! I just read Legend yesterday and cannot believe how good it is. I absolutely loved it, and cannot wait to finish the series! And yes, Day is an awesome fictional crush (even if he is only fifteen, haha!). <br />I am about to go and check out this Project Disney of yours. It sounds awesome.
