Own it, Won't Read, or Borrowing

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Do you own The Selection, are you not reading, or are you borrowing it?

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

I, Rebecca Corin Morgan, being of sound mind and body (since when has my mind been sound? Just forget that part...) , hereby declare that I do, in fact, own the hardcover edition of The Selection by Kierra Cass. I will be participating in all group activities concerned with this book.

I own the kindle version but it won't let me share :(

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Thats too bad. Although I am not sure if any other of our members own a Kindle..

I'm going to try to get my hands on it (school libray for the win) but I'm so swamped with books right now that I'll be lucky to get to it! :-P And I really want to read it!

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Oh thats great! The book is really good and I think you would enjoy it!

[Jack Frost, Jaquelyn, Jackie: {The empress of winter; The lonely white wolf }]

I won't and will NEVER EVER read The Hunger games.

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Why won't you read the Hunger Games? You don't know what your missing outon..

Are you going to read The Selection?

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

I hope you are able to read Triv!

Yes, why not? Don't tell me you saw the film and that's why...

[Jack Frost, Jaquelyn, Jackie: {The empress of winter; The lonely white wolf }]

There are books that I will read and watch the movie if there is a movie, but if there is just like the Hunger Games books, I will not read the books.

[Jonathan]

Just not a fan of the violence, the themes or what?

[Jack Frost, Jaquelyn, Jackie: {The empress of winter; The lonely white wolf }]

Yeah somewhat. Hey Read my story I put up two nights ago.

Hope you find it!

[Keru Faye]

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Yay! We beganreading yesterday..

[Keru Faye]

I know, but I couldn't get it until today.

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

That is okay! Have you started yet?

[Keru Faye]

Oh, yeah. I'm up to Chapter 5 at the moment.

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

What do you think of it?

[Jessica]

In between a full college load and work, I finished The Selection in less than a week which says a lot for a slow reader like myself lol!! It was AMAZING!!!!!!! :D

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Will you discuss it with us?

[Jessica]

I'd love to!
Where do I even begin though??! *Possibly some spoilers though!*
I thought that America was a strong heroine with a good sense of what she wanted out of life. She is also pretty in control of herself which came in handy whenever the palace was attacked by the rebels.
Also, at first, I was a little hesitant to like Prince Maxon because I thought something would work out between Aspen and America (somehow lol!). However, after meeting him that first night, I knew I had been wrong not to like him. He was so understanding and caring! He tried to make all the girls feel so special, even if he had given his heart to America. As for Aspen, I don't hate him, but I don't really like how he acted in the palace. I feel he was very inappropriate, and if he had approached America better in her room, I think I would like and respect him more.
As for a favorite outside the main characters, I love May!! She is so ridiculous!! :) She is like your everyday boy-obsessed little girl! Her letters made for good comedy in the story :)
