i was there nights 2 and 3, missed night 1 due to the kids. Such a great run!

Hey, did you hear the rumors about the festie this summer?  Watkins Glenn!  Are you going to try to go?

I did and I am definitely going to be there if it happens! I already booked a hotel room, lol. If you go, we definitely need to meet up!

Are you on PT or .net? Just curious if we know each other there too, lol. I post occasionally on .net but lurk PT.

I just finished Red Rising (it was on some most underrated lists for last year). The second book in the series just came out this month. I haven't read it yet, but it got good reviews as well. I'll definitely be reading it. It's categorized as young adult because the protagonist is a 16 year old boy.

I was just going to recommend these.  I finished Golden Son earlier this month. Very good!

Hotel?!? What? No! VIP camping is the place to be. What weekend did you book? We've heard two possibilities. Regardless, we'll definitely be there an we should hook up!

I lurk PT occasionally, but DH is on there constantly. He's a dirty creeper lurker, though. He's been on for years and has like ten posts.

Bird Box by Josh Malerman is fantastic!

I recommend the Sky Chaser series from Amy Kathleen Ryan amykathleenryan.com/

She is from CO. She's a friend of my sister that is how I learned about the books. They are YA sci fi.  I thought they were fun.

Every woman should read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I just recently read it for the first time in all my 43 years. WOW.

ETA: Dammit, I KNEW if I posted this without reading the rest of the thread, it surely would already have been recommended.

I have read it 3 times (the first in high school) and love it more every single time.


Unrelated to that, I always wonder what it is that makes very old threads get resurrected.

It's a thread in the pinned book recommendations thread at the top of the page. It's an outstanding read and I wanted to include it.

See that extra sucks, because I'm pretty sure that last year (when I read them both), I read in a couple places that the release date would be sometime in 2014. Which makes me wonder if next year it'll be pushed again. 

Bastard!!

Yeah, for a looooong time I heard it would be May 2014. Then starting late last year, it turned into a late 2015/early 2016 release.

I'll have to reread the first two books again before I read the third or I'll be lost. I've already reread them both twice .....each time I find something I missed the first time

Now he doesn't even have a date out
I got really excited because I thought this was a new thread with new recs, but alas it is not
