Under The Never Sky!I love that book."
Thanks! I'm quite disappointed after reading Divergent. I expected a lot from it, but I guess I'm one of the few who can't connect with it.
But I think that's the reason why I didn't get it, I expected a lot. So I wouldn't expect anything from UTNS. I'll just read it :)

Oh, yes. I've been very excited too when I read the reviews of Divergent. But now that I'm done reading it I'm not very convinced. HAHA!
Just tell me what you decided to read. And then we can talk about it since I've read both!

You're not the only one. I honestly don't like it much."
Oh, yes. It's rare to find someone who doesn't like it that much. But at least I know I'm not alone! :D

But I don't see much similarities aside from the fact that society is divided and both have females as heroines.
You might have liked Divergent, as many people do. It's just that it really didn't work for me.

I honestly can't remember anymore but while I was reading this, it felt like I have already read it before - something like that. It's actually a good read - fast paced, a lot of twists and turns, would keep you up on your toes. It just didn't work for me. I'm not really wondering why some people liked it, while some didn't. Because my opinion is just my personal preference. So maybe you should just go ahead and give it a try, you might like it. It' a worthy read anyways.

I'm actually planning to read the sequel, Insurgent. I agree. Divergent is a good read. But just like you, it didn't work for me as well. I feel nothing towards it. Nothing.
Had mushroom ravioli for dinner last night. So yummy!

No, they must be raw, as they need to germinate. Just throw them over the nest.
I have to say that I myself have never used this method, so I don't know if it works.
Another way is to throw boiling water over their nests.

That sounds amazing...I had ravioli last night too, but it was pumpkin! (I made it last fall, when I had a whole bunch of pumpkin)

I'd love that! Glad I haven't started reading it yet. Let's buddy read :)
That awkward moment when you're listening to an audiobook and ur mum decides to butt in and listen too, and just then a hot makeout scene starts! Totally happened with me while I was listening to the Easy audiobook! XD Had to make an excuse that I wanted to watch Wall-E just so I could stop the audiobook temporarily. :P

Sure I'll read UTNS with you guys! :) I haven't read THG because of the too much hype - it's like I've known it already even without reading it since watching the movie too LOL. But I know I may have loved it if I've read it! :)

I hope so too! After reading Angelfall (okay, Angelfall again) I haven't found another book that will completely match my love for it.
Even Divergent didn't work for me!
But I just really hope this time it works for me.

Haha! LOL, yeah. And I doubt the hype will die out.
I read THG way before the hype. Or there might be the hype, but not like what it was today. 2010 maybe? I didn't like it at first. And took me months before I decided to read Catching Fire. But the second book was a blow to me. And after reading it I read Mockingjay right away. HAHA
THG was the first dystopian book I've ever read. So I think I was just getting used to its theme, and another thing is I wasn't satisfied with the romance. HAHA.
But after reading the first book again, it grew on me. And has become one of my favorite series ever since.
Anyway, do you know the feeling when your real-life friends jump on the bandwagon ang claim how good THG movie is? They didn't even read the book. LOL. I'm annoyed, because they're not really readers like us. They're just bandwagoners.
HAHAHA. Sorry, too long post! So are good to read UTNS anytime these days?

Hehehehe, no problem. Remind me! :)

I've seen The Hunger Games movie a hundredth times (I'm kidding), but I'm still excited to see it premiere on television! I choose it over Mirror, Mirror when I haven't even seen the latter.I'm not so much of a fan, am I?
I know....not humanly possible! He must be like a robot or something!!!
Kirstin wrote: "Why is Cato so hot? Ughhhhh!"LOL!Why do bad boys are always hotter than good boys? :))) LOL
Kirstin wrote: "Why is Cato so hot? Ughhhhh!"That's unfair,right?I know that.In the book,I've always secretly adored Cato and Clove,but when the movie came out it was impossible not to love these two.
I know right! Bad boys tend to be hotter than good boys :D But Cato, I can't even- urgh. I remember him as that child from Race to Witch Mountain. How did he even become like that. LOL
I agree with bad boys being hotter! xD

Ayt! Under the Never Sky, then :) And in my poll it got the second highest vote. So I guess I'll follow it.
