One of the stars from the TV show Babylon 5 talks about her life and overcoming alcoholism. While I would have loved more about Babylon 5 since it's my favorite TV show, I still found the book fascinating and had a hard time putting it down.

Jim's run off, and it's up to Trixie and Honey to find him. But trailer thieves and a family on the run complicate things. A very fun book with great characters. And it includes one of my all time favorite scenes in the series, too.

"My friend Daniel Patterson gave me this book and told me it is one of his favorite books that he’s ever read. Beatty’s use of language and humor is complex and layered, unfolding more and more each time you read it. It is also a book that has taught me—as a Dane—a great deal about the predominant culture in the West — America."

Book Favorite

"The book I have read the most times. I love the decadent melancholy of it. I also love the delicate relationship between Gatsby and his unrequited love, Daisy. My favorite sentence from the book is when Daisy says, ‘What will we do with ourselves this afternoon and the day after that, and the next thirty years?’ Now that is restlessness and privilege if I ever heard it!"

What better way to start an Orb dedicated to a book series then by asking everyone which of the (released) books in the series is your favorite?

Although this is a tough question, I'll lead by example and start! My favorite book, thus far, is probably Morning Star. It is hard to top such an epic finale -- even if it does turn out to be only the end of the first act.

With that being said, I actually had to think long and hard about this question. Iron Gold far exceeded my expectations and Red Rising will always hold a special place in my heart.

I loved it. I chose to read this book because it's by my favorite author and second book in the Teardrop series. This series is very emotional and about the rise of Atlantis. It had an unspected ending as well.

Two things I loved about the series was the love story and how the story deals with the main characters emotions. For example, how it shows you shouldn't bottle your emotions up inside. My favorite character's in it would probably be her younger twin brother William and sister Claire. I also liked Brooks as well.

I 100% recommend

I read this book saturday/sunday, and i’ve waited a while to write the review. i wasn’t sure what to say.

obviously, everyone has heard about the Hush, Hush phenomenon. it’s everyone’s new favorite book, it’s everywhere, it’s popular. well people, there’s a reason for that.

this review is going to be different than my others in that I’m breaking my usual format. short and sweet—this will either be your new favorite book, or the dumbest book you’ve ever read in your life. I’m on the favorite side.

I mention the other side because of the twilight phenomenon. people either love it or hate it. same with Harry Potter.

My opinion: I’ll never regret spending $12.00 on this book (I bought it discounted). I’ll read it again and again and i loved it. (but remember that Patch is already taken *coughhesminecough*)

I will say this, though. I’m so excited for the sequel Crescendo. there is no cliff-hanger in this though, rest assured. I just want more of Patch ;)

I'm not writing more than this because i don't want to spoil it and i don't want to give you a preconceived idea about it. i want you to approach it with an open mind ;)

At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like the new reboot of Josie and the Pussycats. I love Archie comics, but some of the new stuff hasn't been the best.
Luckily, they had the writing talents of Marguerite Bennett ,who is one of my favorite comic book writers.
I loved that Melody is still a little ditzy, but very intelligent. She became my favorite character throughout. Overall, the volume was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I read it.
