What are you reading right now?
Picked up
from the library today. Honestly, I'm not too excited about it, but I'm gonna give it a shot.
Finished
. It was probably my least favorite of the series. I kinda had to push through it towards the end, but I was really happy with the ending. It wrapped everything up well.
Wither was truly one of the best I have read in a long time!!!I am reading
-- it's very clever! It makes me laugh out loud at times. :)
I wanna read warm bodies so bad!I just finished
and
Jellicoe was amazing!!! Entwined took me a while to get into, but it got really good.
Warm Bodies was fun. :)Reading outside the genre now for another book club.... The glass castle. Kind of dreading it.

and give The Mortal Instruments another shot."City of Ashes isn't the best of the series, but some major stuff happens and it is totally worth it to push through so you can get to City of Glass...which is AMAZING!!!
Having trouble with
. Not holding my interest. I'm gonna stick to my bad habits and start another book even though that will make my currently reading list at four...big deal!
Finally finished Bumped (blech!) Still working on
. Picked up two books from the library yesterday. I'm really excited for both...
&
I just finished

."Aaah! Eden looks amazing!!! The cover is great and the synopsis grabbed me from the start...I can't wait to read it!
Eden sounds so freaking good! I want to read that one ASAP!
Read City of Ashes! How can you have finished City of Bones and not want to immediately move on to the second one?! Read it ASAP!
I know... I don't understand that either. I was dying to get to book two after I read CofB. And City of Ashes is sooo good!
I'm glad I have a little time because I reeaaaly need to re-read CA. I need it fresh in my mind before I read CP.
About to start Splintered: Sierra's Legacy. I kind of know Leslie from some online interactions, so I'm really excited. She is definitely a wonderful book reviewer. I can't wait.
So, I'm about halfway through
which is book 2 in the Chaos walking series and can I just say I'm loving it. I really hope we read this series because I absolutely need to discuss it. It's so much more than your basic dystopian. I highly recommend them but warn you that the dialogue, uneducated hick type, takes some getting used to.
I just finished
, #2 of The Maze Runner Trilogy, and highly recommend you read the series... I am eagerly awaiting the publication of #3,

Will do! My friend just read it and she was raving about it :)
Well Julie, I finished
. It's no literary marvel. It's a pretty quick and easy read. But, I enjoyed every minute of it. It very funny, but there's a lot of emotion as well. I thought it was well written and an interesting plot. I would definitely recommend it ;)
Starting
....I really hope it doesn't suck! This is one of my least favorite series, but like a true addict, I just have to know what happens :/
I actually just finished 'Enders Game' yesterday, and all I can say is "WOW". Amazing book. Amazing concept. However, I actually just began reading Pride and Prejudice. Not a dystopian fiction, but I've always wanted to give it a go. As for what dystopian fiction I'm planning to read next, I have no idea. I was thinking 'Year of The Flood', though.

;D
I'm so freaking excited for The Death Cure!!!!
Zerge, you'll have to let us know how World War Z is. I don't know if that one would be to my liking, but it has zombies in it so I'm torn haha :)
Bethany, I have hardcover Fallen and Torment sitting pretty on my shelf and I am also a confirmed addict. Yet I refuse to buy Passion (despite the awesome cover) because the series is bothering me more and more. Ugh...let me know how it is.
Sara, I agree with Bethany! Read Divergent! It's amazing!

Yeah, it was an amazing book. She is by far my favorite author...all her books are incredible! Have you read
? It's her first fantasy novel and my Absolutely favorite book ever!
The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood, just found out that this is a sequel to Oryx and Crake so I dove right in. So far, really good, she does such a great job at setting up a world that is on the verge. It's got an underlying religious theme that has actually got me thinking a little bit. I do kinda wish something would hurry up and happen though. I've been learning a little bit about grammar recently, and this is expertly written.

Just finished
. It was pretty good. I'm in the middle of
. This book had great reviews, but I'm struggling to read through it. I like the concept, I'm just not sure why it isn't holding my interest. It does have a beautiful cover though.
Finished the Trylle trilogy which I really enjoyed. Also, finished Enclave as well.Currently read
which is a good read so far. Its very long though and not YA, so its been taking me a while. After that I think I will take on
and
.
ReadingA Plague of Angels. Not Young Adult but definitely post-apocalyptic. Quite excellent, Sheri S. Tepper is a wonderful writer.
