A collection of the pilot books for popular series, for those of us who love to follow a character's journey for as long as an author will let us! Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

An introduction to the Horror genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

A horrible read, not because of the topic, but because it's so boring and stupid. When I read it, I expected more. I almost abandoned it (and still skipped many pages). It's all morbid and grotesque descriptions, obviously combined with sexual and violent scenes (that scene with the animals makes me grrrrr), and there wasn't even any futher explanation beyond what was happening in the world and society... I don't want to remember this book; it made me so angry to waste time on it.

First werewolf book I've ever read. The beginning didn't really captivate me; some of the way certain events were narrated seemed boring and flat, but the story was interesting, and I really liked the ending (was it just me, or did this story have a lot of subtext? š¤)

This isn't a review, I just want to say that this book made me cry because my mom is a bit similar to that bad mother (not as much as Jennette's) and there are a lot of situations that really got to me :( I bought it when it came out and I hadn't wanted to read it because I knew at the time that I wasn't ready. Now I'm better and I hope Jennette is too.

Or what are some of your chaotic ways to bookmark? I've recently found small joys in using cute Pokemon cards as my bookmarks! I dabble in collecting One Piece cards but not Pokemon so I'm not as attached but still love them. I got a bunch of bulk cards from my brother so I've just been slotting them in everywhere that I've lost track who's in where. I think I like the idea that I have cute little Pokemon living in my books now.
