Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead
The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld
What are you reading in November?
I plan to read:
Shadow Kiss
Blood Promise
Welcome to the group Stephanie. I am a big YA reader myself. I agree we all have a little OCD/Craziness in us. I am going to have to check out that website you mentioned. :)
Books I will read:
Frostbite-Richelle Mead(Book 2)- DONE
Shadow Kiss-Richelle Mead(Book 3)
Rage: A Love Story-Julie Anne Peters
I was also suprised by the ending... the ending threw me off. The whole time I thought that both twins were alive. I must have read too fast about the part where the other twin died in the car accident early in the book.
I like Ian. He's tried so hard to be supportive of Kaeleigh and let her know that he was there for her no matter what. Kaeleigh kept shutting him out which was understandable. When you go through major life changing trauma it affects who you think you can trust in life.
I think it really depends whether or not the reader can handle the subject matter and be open minded to it if that makes any sense.
Her other books are :
Impulse
Burned
Crank
Glass
Tricks
She writes all her books in poetry format.
Thanks Angie :)
I'm reading:
Vampire Academy
Evermore
Sorry I keep changing my mind.
Did anyone think that the amount of problems the family had was unrealistic? Maybe somewhat overkill?
I did. There were a lot of issues this family had... sexual abuse, parental neglect, drug/alcohol abuse, being sexually active, etc. Very unrealistic.

The final book! I didn't know that. Well I am glad I started the series when all the books were out and finished the..."
Yeah the final book is called "Tempted" . You can go to http://www.houseofnightseries.com and get a synopsis of the book.
The House of Night Series. The final book is out in October.
Have you read any of Ellen's other books? If so, what did you think of them? Would you recommend them to others?
What do you think of the format of the book? Do you think it makes it easier or harder to comprehend the story? Do you like this format or do you prefer the Chapter format?
I like the format. I think it's unique and it is a new way of comprehending a story. I also think this format is what makes Ellen Hopkins stand out from other authors.
Post your thoughts.

I've read Elsewhere. It is a really good book. I liked it a lot. Let me know what you think of it.
Are you looking for any Gay and Lesbian reads? I can recommend some.

The second book is great. I'm currently like on the 5th or 6th chapter of the 3rd book. Its good so far.
Awesome. I can't wait. Ellen Hopkins has a very unique writing format.
