Still, I've been wanting to try a verse book. <br /><br />And ummm.. the Heartbreakers books sounds pretty redonkulous, but maybe that was the intention? <br /><br />I know I often say I'm not much into historical fiction, but something about those fans, eh? I want one too.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-15782538988207996622012-05-30T19:53:36.154-05:002012-05-30T19:53:36.154-05:00First, I think all the covers rock and second, I t...First, I think all the covers rock and second, I think that last one would be the one I'd enjoy the most (even if I'd cringe about the 90 yr. old). Then you put it in the same realm as The Girl with the Pearl Earring. I enjoyed that book.

I probably won't be since the synopsis makes you perceive the story differently from the content.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-71214872406601284522012-05-30T12:05:04.946-05:002012-05-30T12:05:04.946-05:00I haven't heard that much about The Secret Sis...I haven't heard that much about The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers, but after reading your description I have to say that I think it would bug me too. I dislike it when the protagonist imagines herself to be together with some guy when really he is barely aware of her existence...usually makes me want to shake some sense into the girl! I'm glad I got a heads-up about this one from your review - thanks, Rummanah :)danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-56033604820004329872012-05-30T11:52:24.895-05:002012-05-30T11:52:24.895-05:00I was kind of hoping the Secret Sisterhood was goo...I was kind of hoping the Secret Sisterhood was good. I like it when the guy that breaks your heart gets his in the end. (Can you tell I was dumped pretty hard once?) But this one sounds very misleading in the book blurb.<br /><br />Sisters of Glass sounds good, though I have never read a book in verse. Does it rhyme? I need to look at one in the store. I've shied away from books written in verse, afraid I wouldn't understand them.<br /><br />I have Sasha Gould's book and all these books with the beautiful masks on them makes me want to go to a masquerade party too with a beautiful mask and dress. Too bad we don't live closer. <br /><br />Great mini reviews! I can't believe you had all that time with the last week of school!

Glassblowing is a fascinating subject, too. <br />Bummer that you didn't enjoy Seret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers! I haven't read it, so I appreciate your thoughts. :)<br />- <a href="http://365daysofreading.com" rel="nofollow">Lauren</a>Lauren Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749629168151466704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-56749339460550352062012-05-30T10:50:29.841-05:002012-05-30T10:50:29.841-05:00Oh wow that third one sounds really great...howeve...Oh wow that third one sounds really great...however that middle one I had on my TBR LIST!!

I like how there's a nice balance between the romantic relationships and the relationship between the sisters:) Awesome mini reviews Rummanah!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
