i really liked Flat-Out Love (Flat-Out Love, #1) by Jessica Park Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and Measuring Up by Nyrae Dawn

Go for Shatter Me.The writing style is really different.It's something you have to read.


• Jodi Bibliophile • (jodimarie_x) Can anyone recommend a book like Beauty From Pain? Just read it and OMG loved every minute of it! It said the second book is coming out on 30th and it's 00:28 30th May in England and I can't find it anywhere so I'm hoping its not just the states that gets it early (just my luck)
Thank you :)

Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard, #1) by Christina Lauren -- I just saw this on some website. But I heard mixed thoughts about it, so I don't know if you will like it.

its new adult, but Ten Tiny Breaths (Ten Tiny Breaths, #1) by K.A. Tucker has a couple of mentally ill characters


message 171: by Mishma (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments Mishma wrote: "It sounds interesting, Greta. Will it be too much for me, or can I try it?"

Angelfall? Nothing risqué . It's got a lot of action, though, and the heroine is really tough. :)

No,I asked about Ten Tiny Breaths.


message 175: by Tati (new)

Tati Ten Tiny Breaths gets a bit racy, yes. Not as much as Fallen Too Far. But you can always skip those scenes


message 176: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments HELP! I'm currently going through the biggest reading slump of my life. I can't seem to focus on anything I read. I need some help please! Can anybody give me a suggestion for an epic read? Something I just won't be able to put down? I'm desperate! Nothing will hold my attention. I need a fast paced book that I won't be able to put down. I don't like stand alone books or contemporary. Any suggestions?


message 177: by Prakhar (new)

Prakhar | 1 comments Ender's Game is my favorite book ever (also a series). It's science fiction though and is about a dystopian world. Here's the link to the book on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37...
It's a fast read with great characters and a great plot. It's extremely well made and it involves young adults so I consider it a YA book. Give it a try if you haven't read it already!


• Jodi Bibliophile • (jodimarie_x) HELP! i so need a good long book in my life. I've been reading a few this week but nothing to write home about so wondering if anyone knows of any books thats not too short and where the guy isn't a complete pussy if you know what i mean. Something like Thoughtless also don't mind a love triangle either :)

I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent, #1) by Barry Lyga is a bout the son of a notorious serial killer. the killings in this book are pretty gruesome.

Have you tried A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness ? It's pretty good...no love triangle, and has a very strong male character

Kate (kaitlins16) Try My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick if you haven't already. I can probably go through my shelves and find more suggestions, if you would like. Let me know. :)

message 191: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 3 comments I would like to read a book that is similar to Pushing the Limits and the Boy who sneaks in my bedroom window. The storyline being similar; girl in trouble, hero boy type thing. But not fantasy... Thankyou :) xx

I haven't read those...but maybe you would like Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) by Colleen Hoover or The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay . They are very much about hero type boys and girls in trouble.

You're welcome. The Deepest Cut (MacKinnon Curse, #1) by J.A. Templeton is supposed to be really scary too!


message 194: by Jessica (new)

Jessica Mitchell (Fabulousness) | 10 comments We should read Out of Time (Time Travelers, #2) by Caroline B. Cooney by Caroline B. Cooney. Here's the summary:
Annie Lockwood is going on a school field trip to New York City one year after she has returned to her time in 1995 after meeting Strat. While in New York, she slips back one hundred years into the past, to discover her one true love, Strat, has been put into an insane asylum. Annie learn from Strat's younger sister Devonny that Strat's current predicament is because he continued to insist that Annie was real, even though she mysteriously disappeared and everyone else decided to forget her existence. Annie decides to save Strat and prove that she is real and could travel through time. Annie also learns that Strat's betrothed, his childhood friend Harriet, is suffering from consumption.
Annie disguises herself as Devonny and manages to get past obstacles that were in the way, especially Walker Walkley, Strat's former best friend and now antagonist of the book. The two reunite and narrowly escape Walkley, who plans to take over the Stratton fortune. Annie has second thoughts about Strat being with Harriet when she died, mainly because she knew Harriet loved Strat and was betrothed to him and Strat adored her. Strat later explains to Annie that she must go back to her own time and he must stay, no matter how much they love each other. Strat says he would go to Mexico, along with his friends at the insane asylum.
Charlie, one of Harriet's close friends and who loved Harriet, noticed Annie getting kidnapped by Walkley, so he shoots him. Annie is then whisked back to her proper time soon afterwards.

They both have kick ass heroines but Legend is a little bit of a dystopian and Graceling is more fantasy. There is probably more romance in Graceling.


message 199: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 3 comments Has anyone read Pushing the Limits, Easy or The boy who sneaks in my bedroom window? If you have, could you suggest some books with a similar theme? Abuse, and then the hero kind of guy? Thankyou so much :)
