Selia and myself will be reading the Selection on the 18th February 2014. Feel free to join!

[Winnie]

I'll join!

[Christina]

@Winnie Yay! Been meaning to read this for so long :D

[Winnie]

I've only recently discovered this book and it looks really good :)

[Christina]

@Winnie
Reminds me of the show The Bachelor haha

[Rachael]

Yah it's like The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games

[Rachael]

I might read it along with you guys as a re-read

[s]

Cool :D

[Christina]

The more the merrier! I hear there's a love triangle too. Hope it's done well!

[s]

Ah, it better. XD

[Winnie]

I usually hate love triangles so hopefully this is a good love triangle.

[Christina]

Starting tonight! Lets do this haha

[Christina]

End of chapter 3: I don't know whether it's sad or funny that(view spoiler)[ America smiled for the photo because Aspen is saving up money to marry her...
And the photo is going to be seen by the Prince
Haha (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Chapter Eight: (view spoiler)[Marlee seems nice... but I don't think it's a good idea for America to make friends since they're all competing for the Prince's love :S She could be a backstabber! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Loving this book! :) I'm not getting many dystopian vibes at all..Maxon's such a sweet guy!
(view spoiler)[I was laughing when America kneed him in the thigh. How could America think so low of him? And he even sent pants as a gift with an adorable letter!!

What's not to love about Maxon!!
(hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Chapter 17: Ok now the dystopian side is showing
(view spoiler)[Wow to think that Maxon did not know about what it was like out there in Illea... America's really opening his eyes to what's out there. Gahh, they complement each other perfectly. Surely they see that! I love this couple!!

Still a lot of girls in the Palace..
(hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Chapter 20: Noooooo..(view spoiler)[Aspen has to make an appearance in the Palace, as soon as America's decided to give Maxon a chance? Now her feelings are going to be all over the place...Sigh (hide spoiler)]

I was really weary of going into this because i heard that there's hardly any dystopian in it.. and i'm not a romance book fan, But i LOVED this series! I need book three right now. Haha.

(view spoiler)[ Maxon is really sweet. I found it quite funny when she kneed him though! It showed her feisty side. :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I know. :( That annoyed me too. I was expecting it though. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Finished:
(view spoiler)[Amazing book!! I had so much fun reading it I couldn't put it down. Yes I'm a sucker for romance!

The only hints of dystopian were the Northern and Southern rebels and the division of castes

Aspen making his appearance toward the end really threw me off. I was liking Maxon so much and he deserves better than America cheating on him!!
He even gave her a chance to tell him if she didn't love him.. but she had to go and give him hope saying they were more than friends

I don't want America to be half heartedly in the Selection so it was a good decision of hers to make at the end!

I'm very curious of Marlee's secret and outraged that Celeste is still in there.. But like Maxon said he was influenced by his family, aside from his Selection of her! (hide spoiler)]

Eager to continue to book 2!

[Winnie]

I haven't started this yet. For some reason, my mind hasn't realized it's past Feb 18...

[Jamie]

Maddison and I wanna read this on March 2 (tomorrow!). Mods, can someone please change the date? Thanks much!

[Maddie]

Even if they can't then we can still start then. :) I'm excited to read this book!

[Jamie]

Me too!

[Maddie]

Hopefully it won't take me too long to read.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Date Changed ☺

[Jamie]

Thanks Sarah! :)

[Winnie]

It was really good book :)

[Maddie]

So far I'm 24% through and liking it well enough. It's pretty slow though. Hope it gets better.

[Jamie]

I'm 32% done and I think the whole selection thingy is pretty scary. My bf is obsessed with North Korea and he thinks N.Korean leaders actually choose their wives this way :/

[Maddie]

Oh wow! I want a bf so much!

[Jamie]

32% (view spoiler)[ Haha he better not be an Aspen then. I don't like him a bit! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I'm 24% at the moment so please try not to spoil anything past there. The part I'm up to is (view spoiler)[America's just leaving to go to the palace. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Oh, yeah sorry I should've used spoiler warning for that one but I don't like him from the start and I hated Aspen even before 22% so I just thought it was okay to say it. :3

[Maddie]

I liked him but when he (view spoiler)[hugged that other girl i didn't like him...<.spoiler>

What % you up to now? (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

(view spoiler)[ Ah that one yes. I don't like him cause he's short tempered too. :/ (hide spoiler)]
Still at 32% I'll continue reading when I finish my school works. What about you?

[Maddie]

I'm at 38%. Want to get at least halfway through tonight.

[Maddie]

I already know what's gonna happen. (view spoiler)[Prince Maxon's gonna love her because she's being herself and not trying to get him. Then he's gonna kiss her and she's gonna realise that she loves him too and they'll get together. (hide spoiler)] It's just an assumption by the way. No one's told me anything.

[Maddie]

I'm actually liking this book at the moment. Normally I don't like books like this, but I do like this one. It's an easy read and there's not much to think about when I read it. I can really get into it.

[Jamie]

It is an easy read yes. :) I'll catch up with you later! Still not done with school works. 3

[Maddie]

Wow you have a lot of school work!

57% Glad I'm really getting into it today.

[s]

I'm gonna start this as well. My time is different. :P It was the 1st a 38 minutes ago. XD

[Maddie]

Oh well that's good Selia! :D Let us know your thoughts! :D

[Jamie]

Wow you're fast! And yes I actually do. Some days I'm so busy and some days I'm not doing anything! Hope to finish half of it before bedtime.

[Maddie]

I hope now to get to 65% haha. I might finish it tomorrow depending on how much time and hwk I have.

[Jamie]

Oh that's great Selia! Just hid one of the comments for you. :) It's afternoon where I am! Can't wait to have dinner. Lol

[s]

:D I will. I have trouble with getting these on time for that reason. :P But once I start I'll share.

[Jamie]

I'll try to catch up. Before you go to bed, let us know what you think about it!
