Brittany’s comments from the YAholics Anonymous! group.

I'm in, as usual. Hopefully I'll be able to do more next month. :/

(ARC)

Yay, Diane!

And I'm in. :)

Please pick from this shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...✓

I'm sure there will be. =)

I've actually never read the book. :/ I need to. It's not that long and everyone keeps telling me how great it is...

So, this will be coming to theaters soon! Who plans to go out and see it? Did you read this book for school, your own entertainment, or have you not read it yet? Like the casting? Think it'll be true to the book?

Discuss all things The Giver here!

I took care of it.

Please join us this month in reading our series Book of the Month, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer



Synopsis: Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison--even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive. Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner.(

Please join us this month in reading Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver.



Synopsis: With this stunning debut novel, New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver emerged as one of today's foremost authors of young adult fiction. Like Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why and Gayle Forman's If I Stay, Before I Fall raises thought-provoking questions about love, death, and how one person's life can affect so many others.

For popular high school senior Samantha Kingston, February 12—"Cupid Day"—should be one big party, a day of valentines and roses and the privileges that come with being at the top of the social pyramid. And it is…until she dies in a terrible accident that night.

However, she still wakes up the next morning. In fact, Sam lives the last day of her life seven times, until she realizes that by making even the slightest changes, she may hold more power than she ever imagined.

Please join us this month in reading Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi



Synopsis: I have a curse
I have a gift

I am a monster
I'm more than human

My touch is lethal
My touch is power

I am their weapon
I will fight back

Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

Thanks for the reminder, Connie. I've been working all week, so I haven't had much time to be on. >.< Stupid work, lol.

If the main character is over 20 years, then you can mark it off.

It's supposed to be. I think it'd be fun if he made more books in this "world," though.

Thanks Tamara! :)

Did anyone get more than nine? Otherwise, it's prolly safe to say Christie's the winner, lol.

My guess is Jessica won with 15?

If I kinda cheat and add City of Heavenly Fire (I'm over half-way done) I got two! #epicfail

Got 3/10 on mine. I went ahead and included City of Heavenly Fire cause I'm over half-way through and I would've been finished if I hadn't had to work the past four days! >:(

I'll go ahead and choose 10 for you, Christie. :)

City of Dark Magic
Paranormalcy
Vampire Academy
Sweet Evil
Delirium
Legend
Unearthly
Son of Neptune
Crewel
Girl of Fire and Thorns

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Christine! I'll try to get to both of them, but if I only get to one, I'll try The Immortal Rules. Love me some Julie Kagawa!

Let me know if you'd like me to choose a second one for you. :)

For Tamara I choose:

The Maze Runner
If I Stay
Divergent
City of Bones
Vampire Academy
The Iron King
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
The Second Summer of the Sisterhood
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Thirteen Reasons Why

Hope you enjoy them, Tamara!
