  1. Ooh, it's good to see that Stephen King is a new author to you - I know that I've never read a book by him, so it's good to see that he was new to you too!~
    Did you like City of Bones? I know I enjoyed it, and I love Cassandra Clare's other books so much as well! :)

    1. I think they'll all definitely end up on my favourites! Stephen King is definitely a must-read and I can't wait to read more by him. I've not watched the Dexter TV show, but the books are fantastic.

    1. Hopefully I can read more Stephen King soon. I feel he could be a favourite. Nevernight is very good, once you get over the prose, and is definitely worth a shot.

      Delete
  10. I liked Fangirl a lot and look forward to reading more Rainbow books.

    1. I loved Fangirl, but I tried Carry On more recently and I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped. But I'm still going to give Eleanor and Park a go when I have the time.

      Delete
  11. oooh I love Stephen King. But so far I've only read his novellas and short stories collections. I'm so excited to read his full novels.
    Is Darkly Dreaming Dexter good? I've watched the TV show and I enjoyed it. Thought about reading the novel, but hesitant a bit. What do you think?
    Anyway, great list!

    1. I think I'm going to end up loving Stephen King too. I'm hoping to finish the trilogy I started and then perhaps I might try The Green Mile.
      Darkly Dreaming Dexter is fantastic! Definitely one of my favourite books and I would definitely recommend it. However, I've never watched the TV show so I can't really compare how they live up to each other.

      Delete
  12. Wow, a Stephen King first timer!! I haven't read anything by him in a while, so there's definitely some of his newer stuff that I want to catch up on. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is coming up really soon on my library list! I'm excited to try it since I loved the TV show :) Great list!

    1. I'm now desperate to read more by Stephen King now too! Hopefully The Green Mile as I already have that one once I finish the trilogy I started. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is one of my favourite books ever now so I really hope you enjoy it.

      Delete
  13. I can't wait to finally read something by Louise O'Neill - everyone seems to love her novels & they seem unique and very relevant. Great list! :)

    1. I really hope you do try Louise O'Neill soon. She is a fantastic writer and her novels are so, so relevant just now.

  14. I've been thinking about finally reading some Rainbow Rowell but I think she might be a little too contemporary for me. I've heard good things though!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I definitely think she's worth a try, but if you don;t like contemporary to much perhaps you should start with Carry On. That one is more of a fantasy, if you're into those.

      Delete
  15. I read so much Stephen King in high school! I feel like if I read him again it would feel like a new-to-me author! I think Jay Kristoff is probably on a lost of lists this week! Nevernight was just too tempting to pass up!

    1. I hope you do read some more Stephen King one day, I know I definitely will read more in the future. Jay Kristoff seems to be everywhere this week! I can't wait to read more by him either.

      Delete
  16. Ahh Rainbow Rowell is one of my favourite authors so I'm glad to see you tried her books! I've still to read something by Stephen King but planning on changing that soon. Just need to decide where to start as he has so many!

    1. I'm so glad I finally tried some Rainbow Rowell too! She's been on my radar so long. I hope you do read some Stephen King soon, I definitely recommend Mr Mercedes.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel free to leave a comment.
