Wait, do webcomics actually count? Someone had posted them. o.o;; If so, I went through some serious archive binges recently. Would be great if they counted. xd.png

That was me. There's nothing for or against them in the rules, so I just assumed it's the same as reading a manga/graphic novel in print, but the thread mods might decide not to count it. No harm in listing 'em, though!

Are you guys planning on starting another challange after July 30th? Because I think it sounds cool, and I'd like to join, but less than a month seems like not enough time to read 250 books rolleyes.gif

Book Title: The New World

Author: Michael A. Stackpole

Rating: 5/5

Review: This is me flailing at how epic this book is. *flails* I can't really say more than that without spoilers. I'm going to go flail some more now. *FLAIL*

 

Book Number: 38

Number Of Pages: 640

Book Title: Black Gate

Author: Yukiko Sumiyoshi

Rating: 4/5

Review: Picked this up yesterday at Connecticon. It's a three volume series, here collected into one book. The premise is that there are "white gates," through which the soul passes after dying, but there are also rogue "black gates" that appear and try to kill people to steal their souls. The people with the power to seal these gates are called Mitedamashi. The main character is a young boy, Hiriji, being raised by a Mitedamashi who knew his father, Senju. Hiriji is special, though he doesn't know it, for reasons that I can't tell you without spoiling things. His powers start to bloom, and then for some unknown reason Senju disappears. Flash forward six years, and he's (a really terrible) Mitedamashi himself, and two cousins show up to guard him because of his special-ness. (There's also a younger brother to one of the cousins, whom his brother hates because he was born because of their father's infidelity. I think the younger brother was my favorite character. He needs some snuggles.) Then someone starts murdering Mitedamashi, and some familiar characters might be involved...

 

I didn't really like the ending (it wasn't bad, but it's sort of bittersweet) but it was an enjoyable read!

Yes, it starts over again. August 1st.

 

I hope I won't be the only one updating cause I'm kind of burnt out. Kind of why it hasn't been updated in a while.

 

Book Number: 223

Number Of Pages: 336

Book Title: Ruby Red

Author: Kerstin Gier and Anthea Bell

Review: Unfortuantly, I didn't like this much. It was no where as bad as Liar but I still didn't like it. I forced myself to finish it, hoping at the end I would like it. Didn't work.

 

Book Number: 224

Number Of Pages: 384

Book Title: Matched (Audio)

Author: Ally Condie

Review: Now this was such a balm to my mind after Ruby Red. I enjoyed this so much. She isn't rebellious like the girl in Hunger Games, she was just curious and then it kind of snowballed from there. I so cannot wait for book 2.

 

Book Number: 225

Number Of Pages: 384

Book Title: The Maze Runner ~R~

Author: James Dashner

Review: The first time I read this, I hated the ending. This time I was able to go from this one right to book 2. It made me hate the ending even more.

 

Book Number: 226

Number Of Pages: 368

Book Title: The Scorch Trials

Author: James Dashner

Review: Now this I only liked a smidgeon more than Ruby Red. And that was because I knew the characters. If I hadn't, I don't think I would have finished it. *shakes her head*
