Mod
I'm the exact same way! I won't watch the movie until I've read the book (even if it's not that good or follows the story line i just like to be able to say i have watched the movie)...

I also want to start the Hunger Games because I feel like I totally need to read those!
Mod
You should totally read The Hunger Games! They're amazing but they can be a little bit violent. I would recommend for ages 13+.

Well, I'm 13 and my mom says their fine, so ok! I'm reading Divergent, and that's a little violent, (Peter and the butter knife anyone?!)
Mod
I want to read Divergent but I can't seem to get into it. I'll probably read it over the summer when I can actually sit down and try to read it without school and homework, etc.

It does take a bit to get into, but it's a good book
Mod
**I probably didn't explain it too well :) **
I think it's a bit like The Hunger Games but in its own way and I would definitely recommend it. :)
That sounds like a cool book! I recently started Paper Towns by John Green. It is about Quinten "Q" Jacobsen, a senior in high school, who is trying to solve the mystery of his disappearing childhood friend, Margo Roth Spigelman. Margo left clues for Q to follow that might lead to where she is. It has a really great suspense level and it's John Green so, yeah!

Awesome! I have it but I haven't read it yet
I just finished "The Hunger Games" and now I am rereading "The Maze Runner". I didn't finish it the first time because it was on hold at my library. I am excited to read it and it is awesome so far. I'm waiting for "Fairest" to come in on ILL.
Mod
I finished "Fairest" and it is my most popular review, (meaning it has the most likes out of all of my reviews). I started "Winter", the last book in the Lunar Chronicles as well
Mod
I'm reading All of This is True and it's very interesting as it is told through journal entries, talk shows and excerpts from other books. It's really interesting so far!
Hi! I just started reading Warcross by Marie Lu this past weekend and I am almost finished. It's a very creative book. It is about teenager and bounty hunter, Emika Chen who was hired by the famous Warcross game and NeroLink creator, Hideo Tanaka. Emika's job is to track down a player who goes by the name of Zero. Zero has been messing with the coding of the Warcross Championships and it's Emika's job to hand him in.
I haven't been on Goodreads in a while because of my summer camp, but I finished "Wires and Nerve: Volume One", started reading "The Scorch Trials", and also started "Catching Fire". WNV1 was kind of mediocore, (yes, I spelled that wrong). Scorch is okay, but confusing, and the second Hunger Games book is excellent, of course!
Mod
Hi! I am currently reading "Mockingjay" and WNV2. They are both really good so far! I am also going to Boston in September for Hank Green's book tour! John Green will be there too and I'm so excited! I just used way too many exclamation points, but whatever.
Mod
I've just finished Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda for about the billionth time and now I've started The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli who also writes Simon and it's really good so far!
I’ve heard that Becky Albertalli is a great writer.
Mod
I definitely recommend reading some of her books if you haven't already!
Mod
Anyway, I've been doing a lot of reading recently, since I fractured my wrist on Friday, I can't do much.
I'm reading I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. It's excellent so far and I recommend it highly! :)
hey, i’m hannah, i’m 13 and here’s what i’m currently reading. i just finished The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon. Right now I am reading,
Everything, Everything also by Nicola Yoon. For those of you who haven’t read it, it’s basically about a girl named Madeline and she has extreme allergies and it comes from a sickness she developed as a young girl. This sickness means that she cannot go outside or even be exposed to “real” oxygen. (Any oxygen directly from outside, it has to be purified.) One day a boy moves in next door and over time, they fall in love and become really close, but they have to be careful.
I am also currently reading (or listening) to the Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott. These two books are very similar and now I’m too lazy to describe this one. Sorry!! :))
I haven’t been active in here either. I’m currently reading “The Gilded Wolves” by Roshani Chokshi. It is similar to “Six of Crows”, which I disliked, but I don’t mind this one right now.
I am currently reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, catching fire, and death on the nile by Agatha Christie. im really slow reading these cause im in a book slump: (
Mod
Is I'll Give You the Sun good? I'm not sure if I should read it.(NOTE : The previous books I mentioned on Feb 4th ended up being dnf'd. I wasn't in a mood for any of the books, so I just put them back on my shelf.)
I'm currently re-reading Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. I'm planning to make a review on this- and I was in a slump so now I'm trying to get OUT of my slump by re-reading favorite books from 2018!
This book is about a girl named Maddie who has a disease and cannot go outside at all because of it. She has never had real friends- only her mother and her nurse Carla (who aren't really friends). One day, she gets new neighbors. And one of them happens to be a boy her age named Olly- and is totally cute.

A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley
This is a historical non-fiction about Saroo Brierley's life.
As a little boy in India, Saroo Brierley got lost on a train. Twenty-Five years later, from Australia, he found his way back. This is what happened in between.
He lived in a poor village in India, sleeping in a hand to mouth one room with his mother and his other siblings. Until one day, at the age of five, he boards the wrong train by himself and ends up in Calcutta, all the way across the country. Uneducated, illiterate, and unable to recall the name of his hometown, he managed to survive on that city's rough streets.

I've also started reading Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, and it's really good so far! I'm also still reading Ramona Blue.
I’m taking a break from “The Gilded Wolves” to read “Archenemies”, the sequel to “Renegades” by Marissa Meyer. It is fantastic so far, I love Marissa’s writing. She also wrote the Lunar Chronicles series, which is one of my favorites!
Mod
I just finished Ramona Blue so now I'm going to focus on Leah on the Offbeat.
I've also been kinda-sorta reading Skulduggery Pleasant but I'll probably focus on that when I'm done with Leah on the Offbeat.
I finished “Archenemies”, which was amazing by the way, and now I’m reading “Crown of Feathers” by Nicki Pao Petro. She is a debut author and I love this book so far.
Mod
I started reading Everyday this morning. It's about someone named A, and he wakes up in a new body every day, so, for example, on Monday he would wake up as a girl in New York and then on Tuesday he would wake up as a boy in Pennsylvania, etc. So, one day, he wakes up as this one girl's boyfriend and falls madly in love with her and so he is trying to get to know her even as he is waking up as new people everyday. It's really interesting, and I like it so far!
I just finished So B. It by Sarah Weeks! I'm sorta reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I really REALLY wanna read Everyday by David Levithan. I was always interested in the concept, but never picked up the book. I'll definitely pick up the book now that you've mentioned it!
I’m reading “Crown of Feathers” right now. It’s pretty interesting, but one of the characters is such a snob. I hate him right now.
Mod
I’m reading Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte at the moment but I’m almost finished. It’s very good but once again I want to scream at the main character, Keralie.
Mod
It's about a woman named April May and she discovers a Transformer-like sculpture in the streets of NYC, and instantly becomes famous after she and her friend film a YouTube video about it, and then these Transformers are found in major cities all over the world. It's really good and I recommend it so far!

That book was awesome! I’m reading “The Assassin’s Blade” by Sarah J. Maas and a book about writing a book, (don’t remember the title of that one). Both are very good so far.
Mod
I'm glad you liked it! I'm really enjoying it as well.
I'm also reading "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas in school for my literature group, and so far, it's an amazing book! I'm really enjoying it!
Mod
The book was amazing and I was so surprised by the end! If you haven't read it, you really should!!
I’m still reading the same books, but I’m almost done with the writing one. It is by Ally Carter and is super useful.
I am currently reading, And I Darken by Kiersten White. I am on page 161. It is going very slow but hopefully it will get better around page 200, please. I am liking this book but just getting annoyed by how slow it is going but just going to keep reading because I like the story. Have any of you read this book? ps I am new. Hi, my name is Michelle.
Hi! I just finished “A Very Large Expanse of Sea” and am still reading “The Assassin’s Blade”. Both are/were very good.
Is it a teen/YA book?
