I read the first book in the Gemma Doyle series and I enjoyed it, but I couldn't get into the second book. I just finished The Diviners by Libba Bray, and it blew me completely away. I will definitely check out this book. The woman has some mad skills!

I picked up a few other books that were on sale just because they were higher up on my list to read at the time. <br /><br />The next two weeks, I couldn't get that book off my mind, lol. I just knew I had to go back and get it. I read a review about it and went back to get it. The cover really caught my eye, and when I read what it was about, I have moved it up higher on my TBR list. Thanks for the review! The fact that you enjoyed it is cool, and I hope I enjoy it too! :)~Jennifer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05952809868354553112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-91189983594478932402012-09-23T18:08:29.507-04:002012-09-23T18:08:29.507-04:00This looks really great.

I'm currently reading A Great and Terrible Beauty, and not enjoying it very much-I may just not be cut out for Victorian era novels. <i>Beauty Queens</i> sounds a lot more like something I would enjoy..the synopsis, at first, made me think of the movie Tropic Thunder lol.<br /><br />Great review!

And Tiara always made me laugh. ;) Petra was my favorite character, though!<br /><br />I've read (and own!) all of Libba Bray's novels, and I love them. The Gemma Doyle Trilogy is nothing like <i>Beauty Queens</i>, but it's an absolutely amazing historical fantasy series, and I'd definitely recommend it! <i>Going Bovine</i> was a bit more similar to the modern wackiness of <i>Beauty Queens</i>, and I loved that one, too. I can't wait for <i>The Diviners</i>, her newest historical fantasy, to come out later this year!<br /><br />So glad you liked this one, thanks for the great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-51067894920966828632012-05-13T16:51:19.709-04:002012-05-13T16:51:19.709-04:00+JMJ+

It's so beautiful, and I understand why you chose to share it with us. =) <br /><br />A few weeks ago, I read a review of the new release <i>The List</i> which said that there were too many girls and too few pages--but I think there were only seven of them, and they would have got a better ratio than the <i>fifty</i> teen beauty queens in Libba Bray's novel. And yet you say Bray manages to make them <i>all</i> essential to the story? I'm truly impressed!Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-35472085968555292652012-02-06T16:42:00.400-05:002012-02-06T16:42:00.400-05:00Thanks for the review!I've been wanting to rea...Thanks for the review!I've been wanting to read it, now I definitely will!Pao Martinez Parentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765026490711606966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-28994828221069324982011-09-30T20:22:01.152-04:002011-09-30T20:22:01.152-04:00I have been wanting to read this one, it sounds aw...I have been wanting to read this one, it sounds awesome!
