The Maze Runner definitely deserves a read; very fast-paced and thrilling, if a little lacking in some side characters. But excellent world-building.Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-79802677026440636172015-01-23T09:43:40.172+08:002015-01-23T09:43:40.172+08:00To Kill a Mockingbird and The Great Gatsby are som... To Kill a Mockingbird and The Great Gatsby are some of my favourites! My TBR is pilling up as well. <br /><br />The Maze Runner is at the top of my TBR, I've been meaning to for ages now.

It's like my favourite Shakespeare play - except that I still haven't read the unabridged version argh. <br /><br />Mmm, I totally understand. It's my first new year that I saw so many challenges, and I just couldn't resist signing up for a few.

Ever since reading that book, my motto at all times is basically along the lines of "what would Atticus do?". ;) Also, Hamlet is deliciously creepy - one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, after Twelfth Night and A Midsummer's Night Dream!<br /><br />I would love to do this, but alas, I'm cutting back on the reading challenges this year D: But it does look like so much fun, and I wish you the best of luck - I can't wait to see what you think of all these lovely books! xtopaz wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03266048278124376231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-24623450542173423062015-01-19T10:35:03.350+08:002015-01-19T10:35:03.350+08:00Yep, I've already cleared one book off the TBR...Yep, I've already cleared one book off the TBR.

I am already very sure I'll love it. I'm desperately hoping the Eye of the World will be as good as ASOIAF and LOTR - I've heard so many comparisons to them. I've already read Station Eleven, and I'm probably going to review it, yes, on Literoses.Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-48663317133832359012015-01-19T05:34:07.544+08:002015-01-19T05:34:07.544+08:00Well, the TBR Smash Challenge sounds like the perf...Well, the TBR Smash Challenge sounds like the perfect thing for all the overwhelmed bookworms on the internet, haha! You've got a pretty good-looking stack here, and I hope you LOVE <i>The Archived</i>! I just recently reread it so I could read the sequel, <i>The Unbound</i>, and I've loved it both times I read it. SO GOOD and such an utterly unique premise!<br /><br />Good luck with the challenge, Alyssa!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960038755760757791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-79833920039574933012015-01-18T21:17:29.221+08:002015-01-18T21:17:29.221+08:00Oh, The Lost Library sounds intriguing. Reminds me...Oh, The Lost Library sounds intriguing. Reminds me of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, which is a labyrinth library in the novel The Shadow Of The Wind by Carloz Ruiz Zafon (one of my favourite ever books.)<br /><br />I have heard some AMAZING things about Station Eleven, so I hope you do a review on that one. =D Also, YOU HAVE THE EYE OF THE WORLD ON YOUR TBR - me too! (That would qualify for <a href="http://ashanalian.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/ashana-lian-fantasy-challenge-2015-link.html" rel="nofollow">Fantasy Challenge</a>, if you're taking part.) I'm pretty sure I have a bunch of the Wheel Of Time books from my <a href="http://ashanalian.blogspot.com/2014/09/fantasy-book-super-haul.html" rel="nofollow">Super Haul</a> last year, but there's something crazy like 12 books in the series. 12 very fat books. O_O I want to read them all!<br /><br />I'm glad you're doing TBR Smash and I wish you loads of luck. Keep me updated with your progress and I'll bounce around to see how everybody's doing. :3Ashana Lianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710938893525557551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-82058183781776796962015-01-18T18:27:17.843+08:002015-01-18T18:27:17.843+08:00Thank you!
