Introduction:

Hello,

I joined this Wiki officially today on 11-11-2018, after a few days of having to wait. I will introduce myself more and more on this, my own page, or others as soon as i have something to say that hasn't been said before :)

I really like the choices books. Mostly the ones where the choices are easy and you don't have to think about being correct or wrong. Not that theres anything wrong with those books, but they just take more effort to read them and for me, these books need to be relaxing. Reading them just before i go to bed and not having to get out because i need to check my choices on a walkthrough. But then again, the looking for walkthroughs is what got me on this Wiki in the first place. :) So now we are full circle. I'm probably not editing walkthroughs, just maybe a minor edit here or there for something that's missing. So maybe it's more 3/4 circle...

This is what i have been reading so far (probably forgot to add a few books):

Favorites:
 * The Crown and the Flame (1, 2 and 3): Really liked it


 * Endless Summer (1, 2 and 3): So, so complicated, but good story


 * High School Story (1, 2 and 3): So much fun! Totally unrealistic, of course. This perfect, talented girl, super popular and still so grounded... That's not real. But i still like it.


 * High School Story Class act (1 and 2): So cute! I love my MC in this one with her twin. They are so silly and cute. Also the interaction with (most, save the Rory fanclub, who are annoying) of their friends is really fun. I'm reading this for a cheering up. Especially the second book. Makes me smile!


 * The Elementalists (1 and 2): I think this is my number 1 book so far

Not great but not bad:
 * Across the Void: I really like this story, a lot is going on, sadly a lot of it is also only half-explained. They could do much more. Some chapters feel a bit empty and too focussed on the LI parts instead of the story. And with so many main characters with all their own LI, it's a bit much of that thing at times. And not enough of the actual story.
 * The Royal Romance (1, 2 and 3): liked it, exept the part where we are pushed into the prince's arms on any occasion. I just want to be nice, not in love


 * Red Carpet Diaries (1 and 2): It is very unrealistic, that you land a role the first few days you start looking for one, even more unrealistic that this role is becoming a main and even more unrealistic that you end up DIY it all with friends and it becomes a hit... That said, for some reason I still like this book. Maybe because it is very unrealistic? It's not because of the majority of the LI, that's for sure.


 * Desire and Decorum (1 and 2): Loved the first book, kinda hate the second one because of the Duke. It would probably a favorite if not for Book 2. I can really swoon over how people courted each other in those days. It had much more finesse.


 * A Courtesan of Rome:


 * Big Sky Country:


 * America's Most Eligible:


 * Bloodbound: How does she still lives? I mean, all her friends and LI are vampires. Is she kind of their pet or something? I'm curious for a new book though. At some point she must transform as well, right? Can't go on like this forever.


 * Hero: I keep having the feeling that there's more to this story. That it isn't finished. But nothing new is coming (yet) I like that there seems to be a connection with the Endless Summer (and maybe Across the Void) really makes my imagination going. Can't write my own fan-fiction though, haha.
 * Ride or Die: Some things i like, some i don't and some things just don't add up. I like the action, for sure. I also like that you can go very different directions for this story to get different results in the long run. Makes me want to read it again in different ways. Definately not boring to me, only thing is I don't really like how they wanted to present the main character as a smart, good kid. Would make more sense if she was rebellious from age 16, or so. And this was her latest stupid mistake and it's getting too much for her now

Can't be bothered to read again:
 * Veil of Secrets: There was so much going on, but I still was a bit bored with it. Also very unrealistic to me to persue LI the day after your best friend went missing and people get murdered all around. And that you are encouraged by your promiscues land lady to do that (rolling my eyes) There should be a lot on your mind, but not that. The plot was not bad though.


 * Perfect Match (1 and 1 chapter): I don't know, I think it's just the whole 'androids have personalities and are equals in relationships' in this book that makes it too weird for me to enjoy. I really like fantasy, but I think maybe this is where my instinct is drawing the line :)


 * Most Wanted: Good story, but i don't like having to make the smart choices all the time to make the book end well. Finished it for the diamonds

Don't like it at all:
 * Passport to Romance: This story has a fun concept at start with the whole budget traveling and blogging about it, but they moved away from it very quick. Now it's suddenly luxurious and not spontanious anymore ever since Ivette budded in. Maybe it will get better, but i doubt it.
 * Love Hacks (1 and 2): I don't even exactly remember what it was all about, so i guess it didn't leave a lasting impression. I could read it again, but since there are many books that i allready like, this one is just sitting on the shelf for now.
 * Rules of Engagement (1, 2 and a chapter of book 3): Oh my god, this is such a stupid, boring story! I can barely get myself to read it for diamonds. Too many main characters, all with their own boring plot. The only character I like is Bookish Sisters' girlfriend and I doubt that was the writers intention all along in this series. Also, what kind of weird Will is this? Give everyone a quest to do, oke. But forcing mariage upon people? (dont keep telling me grandmother wanted whats best, because she loved them, etc, because this is just wrong) And now in book 3 she's doing it to the brother too. Argh...


 * The Freshman (+ the Sophomore + the Junior, none of the mini books and not started on the Senior yet.): Don't really like it, I can't imagine why they made so many books for this. The man character is some caricature of a person who always thinks of others and never of herself and is barely mad at the people around her when everyone treats her like she has to solve all their problems and get angry at here if she doesn't/can't. I know that happens a lot in Choices books, but for some reason it annoys me here. Grow a spine.


 * It Lives Beneath: It's probably a good book, i hear people are excited about it, I just don't like scary stuff, and this is really scary stuff. Same goes for It lives in the Woods. Just not my kind of thing. I might finish it 1 day for the diamonds


 * It lives in the Woods: (See comment for It lives beneath)


 * Braidwood Manor: Another ghost story book. I read 1 chapter and I'm not sure if and/or when I will read the rest. It's just not really my thing.

New Books (not yet in a catagory): 
 * Open Heart: I don't really know what to think. It's sorta interesting, but sorta not so much. I think i need to read the whole book again in one go after it is finished to make up my mind about it


 * Wishful Thinking: So far I think this is cute and funny! This could be a candidate for favorite! I like that sort of thing. I hope they keep it up!
 * Nightbound: I wait for reading this till it has more chapters. They are pretty short and so far a lot of introduction to the characters and the mythical world it plays in. I think I will enjoy it once there is more to read at once.

The Elementalists: My choices for attunement:

A sphinx asks you to answer a riddle. You... Choose a potion...
 * Tell the sphinx all the possible answers.
 * Translucent and radiant, like a rainbow.

How do you make decisions? If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
 * By weighing pros and cons
 * Deep in the forest with the nymphs. (I might be changing this answer next time i read the book and get this question as of Book 2 chapter4. Nymphs are not nice and i prefer to live among the nice ;)

What do you value most? What is your favorite magickal creature?
 * Loyalty.
 * Phoenix.

What scares you most? What sound do you find most pleasing?
 * Failure.
 * Laughter.

What's your favorite season? Where would you like to spend your time? Would you like to live forever? You're at a crossroads. A bank of fog lies ahead. Which way do you go? You're fighting a swarm of pixies. What's your strategy? You're working in a group. You... You’ve found a dragon’s hoard, but can only take one thing. What is it?
 * Spring
 * Wandering a canyon
 * No. I'm going to live this life to the fullest.
 * I'll ask my friends for advice.
 * Team up with my friends.
 * Fill in the gaps.
 * Nothing . I won’t steal.

Results so far: 2x wood (one of them after choice between self-reliant and nurturing), 1x metal (after choice between self-reliant and laid back), 1x water. I am staying wood for now. :)
