However one of my favourites that I discovered last year was The Otherlife by Julia Gray - its a contemporary story about two boys and their friendship, but one of them can see the Norse Gods lol. Its super interesting. Otherwise I really want to read Bone Gap so super glad to hear you enjoyed it :) Loved your mini reviews!whispering wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817741839344053531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-87493551969320480382017-03-21T15:49:12.876-05:002017-03-21T15:49:12.876-05:00DUDE I am being killed very slowly and painfully b...DUDE I am being killed very slowly and painfully by reading all these different Bone Gap reviews and YET NOT READING IT MYSELF. *whines* I'm a very unhappy pineapple right now.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *cries* I already have two of these on my TBR (Simon & Bone Gap) and I've heard Patrick Ness's books are good (ish) AND NOW I MUST READ THEM ALL AAGGGHHH.

I'll definitely be checking these out!May @ Forever and Everlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552178873242171020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-58908228244066827632017-03-18T13:52:00.642-05:002017-03-18T13:52:00.642-05:00I 100% AGREE WITH YOU ON SIMON VS.

It was so cute and fun <3<br /><br />BONE GAP IS ON MY TBR AND I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WAIT TO GET TO IT. I confess I didn't read your review (purely because I'm paranoid about spoilers, even though I doubt your review had any), but I'll be so happy to squeal with you about it once I read it!<br /><br />Ellie | <a href="http://www.ontheothersideofreality.org" rel="nofollow">On the Other Side of Reality</a><br />Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016450998401859766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-66349564671576972462017-03-18T09:19:46.481-05:002017-03-18T09:19:46.481-05:00I have wanted to read Simon for a looooong time! B...I have wanted to read Simon for a looooong time! But every time I'm about to pick it up... I just happen to see another book that's higher than my TBR and promptly abandon it?! I liked your short review though :)<br /><br />And honestly, I swear by The Rest of Us Just Live Here! It's the only Patrick Ness book that I personally enjoyed. His trilogy, I think it's on The Knife of Never Letting Go or something like that never really hooked me so I stopped reading, and same case with More than This! I think what appealed to me was the twisted trope.<br /><br />One magical realism that I've read this year is The Accident Season. It was pretty cool but very, very weird to me. Maybe my imagination couldn't take it, but just saying the writing was gorgeous, but the plot did just not click with me. <br /><br />- Andrea at <a href="https://asurgeofthunder.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> A Surge of Thunder </a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-90454178759861055222017-03-18T08:15:27.715-05:002017-03-18T08:15:27.715-05:00Bone Gap is on my TBR!
