So I've moved on to a new genre for the moment. Fantasy. Fantasy was my first genre love (cough cough Harry Potter) and after a wild amount of dystopian novels, I decided to go back to them. That's when I found The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. It's about fey/faeries, which sounds really lame, but I LOVE the storyline. It takes a little Shakespeare and makes it modern. And by that I mean there are characters (Puck, Titania, Oberon) from A Midsummer Night's dream in the books. (I'm really bad at explaining these things) But it's nothing like A Midsummer Night's Dream. It just has those characters. And I'm in love with Puck <3 Haha Good books, if you can handle faeries. I know some people hate stuff like that. But it's cool. I like it. And I'm on the second of the four books.  |

OOH, I was looking into those, but no one from my circle's read them, so I was a bit unsure.
So you'd recommend?

Definitely! The main character screams a lot (you could make it a drinking game, haha), but the plot is interesting and the main guy characters are  awesome |

Ooh, sounds good, I actually never realized, but they're on my to-read list on Goodreads. That being said, there's at least 250 books on there, but I will get to them eventually  |

hehe that's awesome. And dayumm, you've got me beat, then! My list is only at 129 books. Not on goodreads. I'm much too lazy to go through them and mark them. I might have like 3 on goodreads, haha.

LOL, I'm just one of those crazy bookworms! And I love it Oh lord without Goodreads... I new some place to organize everything, if not I would probably go crazy. Raises, it's a little difficult remembering all of those, and I lose any and all written lists, so that's sort of out of the question... |

I made a chart on MS Word in author surname alphabetical order of the books I need to read/buy. And then I've sorted it into series books and stand-alones. I've sent it to my phone every time I update it so I have something for guidance when I venture to the bookstore. I only made the list so organised because I was bored in class one day |

That's amazing!! That's roughly how my bookshelves are organized, and everyone tells me I have OCD because of that. In any case, I see I'm alone in being a complete organizational freak when it comes to books. xD

My bookshelf is currently unorganized because I've no space and am in the process of finding the perfect one to buy, but when I took a picture of all of my favourite books the other week, they were in alphabetical order. It was fun. I lined them up on my desk, but then my Harry Potter books wouldn't all fit :/

And I'm STILL reading The Iron Fey series. -_- I haven't read for four days because first I had a headache, then it was NYE, then I tried staying up all night and everytime I *tried* to read I felt sleepy, and then last night I just slept at like 1am without reading. I'm such a failllll.
