What are you currently reading?













which one would you chose?


If you want an ok book start:

If you want a book that's annoying start: [bookcover:Ma..."
LOL! Well it would be a third dystopian novel after divergent and wither. I am a sucker for Dystopian novels but I don't know if thats what I want to read. But I do want to read them... Hahaha, understand my dilemma?
Knife is a great book. The whole series is one of my favorites. It's really heavy though so be prepared.





I like them all so far. What do you think?





Both mother and daughter are adults. I don't know if that makes it any less strange? But yeah, I agree that it would be an awkward book series to write with one's mom.



Matched is AMAZING. you should definitely read matched!!!

I also found Matched annoying ... partly because I read it right after Delirium and it was pretty much the same plot but with much blander characters. :/

I am skipping both Matched and Delirium. I have not heard enough good things about either to make me want to read them.
Delirium was really good! I didn't want to read it at first, either. But I was surprised. I thought it was really well-written.
Matched, on the other hand, was pretty much what I expected it to be ... not that good.

Brigid did you read
? It left me with more questions than answers so I was afraid Delirium would be the same. Not sure if I am correct or not??

Nope, haven't read it.
And Delirium is part of a trilogy so it's hard to say. But I thought things were explained well in it. The plot isn't all that complicated to begin with.

I know that you pretty much discount everything I say, but I really, really enjoyed Delirium. Even though the ending was a cliffhanger, it wasn't terrible because there's going to be three books. I also think it was much better than the Hunger Games, which you loved. (I loved it too D: It depresses me that I say that I hate it now, but i just do :()
I don't discount everything you say Seth! I am quite a bit older than you so it is normal that we would not like the same things. We will always have Chaos Walking!

I concur. Reading the fourth one I just didn't care as much because I was like, "Well, it already kind of ended, so like ... she can't just kill everyone off. ... Right?" It was still very good, I just didn't feel as emotionally invested in it. Also Jace and Clary became so dang annoying. x_x

(I wanted to smack Jace and Clary. I adore them. I really do. They're like, my OTP of all books, but urggg.)
I know, right? It's unfair that we had to wait so long for them to get together, and then the end of the third book was so cute ... and then it's like, "HAHA. We're going to be annoying as hell again." And I'm just like ... *headbook*


Picture: Hahaha; I love moments like that. Both book deja vu, and writing paragraphs and then realizing that I actually didn't need to write it. (:

Yes, indeed. To both of you.


Yes, indeed! I really enjoyed it, too. (:

I'm not really into it either, but I liked Delirium.
