"The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I honestly do not see what people love about this series at all.
In terms of adult books, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Now, I love Pratchett and Gaiman but for me this book was good--but not…"

Claire Schwa replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is one book that you were excited to read but ended up being disappointed completely when you finished? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"Another was Incarceron it sounded really cool and interesting but it was so confusing! Literally just as I was like "I totally get this now, everything makes sense, finally I can enjoy this book" I would turn the page and be like "son…"
Claire Schwa replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is one book that you were excited to read but ended up being disappointed completely when you finished? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"Wake, it sounded really good and had a really good concept but it was just boring and nothing really happened. Major letdown and a little weird in some places"
The Inkling replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is one book that you were excited to read but ended up being disappointed completely when you finished? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I'm planning on reading that one again. The first time I read it, I was like "OMG Fitzgerald, we get it, the gold and the green, and the dress tuttuttuting... and yes you're very clever with the metaphors, you want a stinking cookie?…"
The Inkling replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is one book that you were excited to read but ended up being disappointed completely when you finished? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"Everything is Illuminated. I loved the parts written by Alex, but I felt like the parts written by Jonathan were like a mimic of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but I don't think that JSF knew what he was doing. GGMs metaphors made sense to me, and I…"
Brittany Pedersen replied to Hannah le Faye's discussion Recommend to me some lady books and folktales from cold places in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"Much of the first story is based off the folktale "The six swans". But it is not some generic retelling of a folktale. Marillier takes you into the psyche of Sorcha (the main character) and what she must do to save the lives of her…"
Brittany Pedersen replied to Hannah le Faye's discussion Recommend to me some lady books and folktales from cold places in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"Oh my gosh, do i have the book series for you! Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier and the second and third books, Son of Shadows and Child of Prophecy. Much of the books are based on Irish folktales and mythology."
Kristin Hudson replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is one book that you were excited to read but ended up being disappointed completely when you finished? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I tried to read The Help and found myself unable to get interested at all. This may or may not have been because the movie had me expecting more of the book than it wanted to deliver in the first few chapters. I gave up pretty quickly."
Celine replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is one book that you were excited to read but ended up being disappointed completely when you finished? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I must now be cliche and say, The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostavo. If anybody has ever read it, you will understand. I went into it saying, "I am not afraid. This book will not defeat me." But then, after all the long letters, on a whim…"
Plottoberry replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is one book that you were excited to read but ended up being disappointed completely when you finished? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"The last two books in the Saga of Darren Shan. I am doing a reread this year, so I might change my mind. But (no spoilers), the last two books just get a little too much for me and I hated the ending so much. It's pretty original I guess, but…"
Sarah Schendted replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is your favorite fantasy series and why do you like it? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"How About Enders Game?? i mean i guess its more sci fy than fantasy, but it really does take place in a different world. it is beyond excellent writing and very character driven. also what i love is that there are so many books, so i…"
Tom Steinbrecher replied to Brittany Pedersen's discussion What is your favorite fantasy series and why do you like it? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"This question is actually unreasonably hard for me. My favorite Fantasy Author is Piers Anthony and Series wise I'd probably say that the "Mode" series is my favorite or "The Incarnation of Immortality".

- What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
- Music, movie and book worm nerdfighter!!!!
- About Me:
- I am constantly doing something. I am a busybody that takes pleasure in reading anything. Since I work at a library, I often check out more books than I can read in two weeks...but so does everybody else I work with. I am also a writer. I've written magazine articles as a freelancer and I constantly have ideas floating in my mind (usually when I'm sleeping so I forget them when I wake up, ugh!).
Aside from reading and writing and work, I enjoy music. I play the piano and guitar and I sing all of the time and when I am alone in the basement of the library I sing at the top of my lungs... I exercise, a lot, and take long walks. I draw and I crochet. I love learning new languages (I'm learning Spanish and Chinese currently). I garden. I bake. I love photography and I am such a ham that I take a lot of self-portraits. I cherish my creativity and the creativity of others. I have an open mind and I go with the flow. Blah. Blah. Blah. I dance around in grocery stores and I often talk to myself. Yes, I am a little nutty, but life would be boring without a little nuttiness!
- Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
- Books: Harry Potter, anything written by the amazing Robin Hobb and Juliet Marillier, The Stranger, Portnoy's Complaint, American Gods, The Mabinogion, Steps
Movies: The Waitress, Slumdog Millionaire, Grey Gardens, Delhi Belly, Hanna, Children of Men, Amelie, Serenity, Away We Go, Monsoon Wedding, The Producers, pretty much anything with people singing randomly in the street...that's probably why I have a weakness for Bollywood films.
TV shows: Mad Men, Firefly, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Family Guy, Weeds, Breaking Bad, Little Britain USA, The Lost Room
Music: Edith Piaf, Katie Melua, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Janelle Monae, The Black Keys
