I always want to know what you'...LOVE this post. I always want to know what you're reading, so this is a treat for me. You and Mary have both raved about The Winter King, and I need to get on reading it! I want a book exactly like that in my life. You know I loved Rites of Passage. I really like your words on Snow Like Ashes, but I'm honestly worried about a love triangle in that one, so I have been holding back reading it until book 2 is released. I hear it's light to begin with, but I can't invest in a series that will drag out a triangle through several books. However, when I talked to the author briefly on Twitter, it didn't sound like she'd do that to her readers. In any case, it means a lot that you loved the story so much. Thanks for this post, friend!Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-34740214534089854852014-09-04T09:42:18.696-04:002014-09-04T09:42:18.696-04:00YAY!

I'm so glad you loved Sam as a heroine! AND YEEEEEYYYY!!! Nick really loved SLA too.

I completely agree with what you said about underestimated characters. They are easier to love and root for. I've also heard about Rites of Passage but I don't think I'm ready for another emotionally exhausting read. I'd have to prepare for it. Plussss, Snow Like Ashes looks like my kind of book. I love fiery heroine who fight for themselves with maturity. I simply cannot wait to read your full reviews, Jenny!

I guess I must be desensitised at least to a certain point because books really need to be something special to move me in such a way. But oh boy, Mac's story almost killed me.<br />I'm starting Snow Like Ashes this weekend. It's comforting to hear such praise from you. <br />I'm also very stingy with my 5-star ratings. When I give them, which is rarely, I want to make a point. So I save them.

I must get Snow Like Ashes now. I was offered a copy and I hesitated not sure if it was going to be good. I already grabbed Rites of Passage that was if getting a lot of buzz and the girls at Rabid Reads loved Winter King. Have a wonderful weekend, Jenny.
