Yay! Looking forward to it! I've had this one on my Nook for awhile. And, like you said, it'll count towards our Goodreads Choice Award Challenge. :)
Great! I'm looking forward to discussing the book with you :)
So we start this tomorrow already! Where has this summer gone??

I will still join in the discussion though, I'll just say at the moment that I loved it.
I'm so glad you liked it Lynn, hopefully I'll love it too :) I've just started it, but I'll comment as I read.
I'm planning on starting this today...looking forward to it! :)
I've just finished part one, and I like it so far :) this book has a lot of action! (view spoiler)I'll keep reading now :D I'll probably finish it today, it's pretty a fast read!
Just finished it!Wow, you were right Lynn, Marie Lu isn't afraid to pull the punches AT ALL. (view spoiler)
Man, I'm way behind! I've been getting ready to go away for the weekend today and only got about 40 pages in so far. I love it though! Hopefully, I'll have a bit of downtime while I'm gone to read some more. :)
Take your time, Alycia :)

LOL Kristie, it's just that the book is really gripping once you get started!
Mod
Kristie - As Cin said it's a really gripping book, I just kept swiping the pages and read it within 24 hours.
Mod
I was not planning on reading this book, but it seems worth it, so I will put it on my TBR, hopefully this month :)
Mod
Lynn, I'm really trying hard to achieve your goal, and read all the YA novels in the world LOL :), in August I'm going to break my personal record on number of YA books read in one month LOL
Mod
Well, I didn't get any reading done this weekend. We were busy sightseeing! lol
Ok, I've finally made some headway! I'm into Part 2 now....let me just say that (view spoiler) Like you guys said, Marie Lu isn't afraid to pull punches! I think I'll probably finish this book either today or tomorrow. :)
Mod
Yes, I am! Have about 40 pg. left now! :)
I love that it isn't like so many of the other teen books nowadays. No love triangle, no futuristic technology...I like the military feel of the book. All in all, it's been extremely enjoyable. In a lot of ways, it feels more "adult" to me.

Mod
LOL Lynn! Kristie- You will love it if you decide to read it! :)

Mod
Alycia - When are you starting the next one?

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
