I loved The Brief History of the Dead! I read it last year and I remember how beautiful and well-built the entire story/world seemed to be! I was one of my favorite books from last year!

I read Cress before reading Fairest and honestly it doesn't matter, nothing really gets spoiled for you if you read one before the other.

The Brief History of the Dead sounds like such a cool concept. I'll have to check it out. Happy reading!

Yes yes yes! I am obsessed with the Cormoran Strike novels. I want everyone to read them.

I totally have that irrational fear of not having a limb hanging off the bed! And I unashamedly run and jump into bed after turning the light off lol.

that's awesome!

I'm reading scarlet now and enjoying it more than cinder I didn't really like cinder but I'm glad I'm continuing the series.

oh my life you make me laugh when you go off topic! Fyi you're not the only one to do the bed leap thing.

I definitely had a similar, slightly mixed reaction to reading Through the Woods, but loved the darker elements. I love it when you read an ebook or a library book and then want to buy it, the last time that happened to me was with the Sandman graphic novels, which I read earlier this year, and bought more recently.

I know a lot of people love Cress and what goes on in that book. But I have to say Cinder is my favorite book, character, and relationship. Thanks for the tip about reading Fairest before Winter. I haven't read either one yet.

I love how you described Cinder, cozy is definitely a great way to describe it. My bed is too low for someone to be under it, but I still check there sometimes lol. Also you should definitely read Fairest. Its just so interesting to get to Levana better.

yeah that's one of her books. This book is a sequel to "Midnight: a gangster love story" and "Midnight and the Meaning of Love" with the same main character. I actually never read the other two but I've always wanted to. Never been a gangster love story type of girl but I think it would be less about that and more about how a Black man in America with values still mixed up in the game while trying to protect the ones he loves. The synopsis was interesting.

I LOVED a thousand nights!! It's really sucks you in and enchants you!

You're not the only one who has that fear. I once watched another KZreadr play some game about an animatronic bear, and I always keep my door locked and all my limbs in my bed at night.

I love the Lunar Chronicles. I still have Fairest and Winter to read. I'm really excited for you that you're reading Mistborn. My favorite fantasy series of all time.

I never thought about Cinder the way that you described it, as safe. I want to revisit the series but I haven't decided if I'll do that before or after I read Winter. Decisions.

"Get dark. Get gritty." Haha. The Brief History of the Dead sounds deep and seems to touch on some things I think about. I read "Year of Yes" by Shonda Rhimes and "Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl" by Issa Rae in November -- and this month, I'm looking for a few good novels I can get lost in.

Defenitly you need to read Fairest before Winter, it's not necessary but it adds a lot to Levana and Winter story (also you could read the stories in between the book - Gliches, The queen army etc-). I'm halfway through Winter (OMG it's sooooo long) and I adore it! The Cormoran Strike series is fabolous, J.K.Rowling is a genius, you can't go wrong with it. Amazing video as ever :)

You're probably hesitant because it's so hyped and it's impossible to live up to the hype.

I had the opposite reaction to Cinder! I read it earlier this year and was just really...underwhelmed : / (and the prince annoyed me SO much, good grief) So I read spoilers for Scarlett, Cress and Winter, and called it a day. Only things I read in November were *checks goodreads* were What Was She Thinking/Notes on a Scandal, which was really good, 2 graphic novels- Lumberjanes and Rat Queens (both of which I loved) and Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (which I MORE than loved). All I'm reading in December is My True Love Gave To Me edited by Stephenie Perkins and then I'm re-reading all my favourite, 5 star books from this year! I want to savour them while I can because my 2016 tbr is already thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis long lol.

My sister's thrive on horror films, but I can't deal! I'm scared of Cujo-looking dogs + I definitely stay around from storm drains (Stephen's King's It) (shudders)....

I disagree with you about Cinder and Scarlet. Especially Scarlet. They do mention that rape would be what's expected in her situation. Ran says at one point that he would have raped her if he wasn't so disgusted with her. That's the whole point: they are so disgusted with Earthens that they wouldn't take advantage of her even when they have the opportunity.

I recently finished reading Winter and it was amazing! I read Fairest before Cress and it gave me a lot of insight of cuckoo Levana. I actually wanted to let you know I tagged you in the Original Shatter Me Tag I made here and wanted to let you know: m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/p3x_lNmRppXgnLg.html Scarlet was a bit slow for me, but sped up quite fast as it progressed.
