Ha ha! I love your "jump off a cliff" comment. I know what you mean. Alex is definitely my favorite book guy! Pretty sure I'm in love. But I'm so worried about the next book because in the teaser blurb it says, "Lena struggles to survive—and wonders if she may be falling in love again." What?! I'm going to be sooooo upset if she is in any way disloyal to the awesomeness that is Alex. Unless something happens to him? Aaaaagghh! I can't take the suspense.




The first book was sooooo good! I can't believe mor..."
Ok you convinced me! I've had those on my maybe list for awhile but I'm gonna take the plunge.

Oh my gosh...you won't be sorry. It's a very addictive series!!

lol i know if there is a stupid love triangle i am going to be so mad i really hope alex is alive and they bring him back but it will probably be at the end of the second book cause this is a trilogy and the third book will be about her making the discission between the to guys she loves

ya i have read the whole series and i have to say the best part of the whole series is the epilog lol and i am actually excited for the movie i just hope they go with book and dont add anything or take anything out the book is to good to do anything to it

Based on your lists and ratings, I would recommend a couple different things.




There's a few for ya. I tried to give you different flavors so, whatever your in the mood for, ya know. But, all are great series that I think you'd like:)







lol...I have both of those on my nook. Haven't read them yet.

i know!! I'm re-reading VA right now. I'm on book 4...getting my memory refreshed in time for Bloodlines...YAY!!!! Of course, I won't be done by tomorrow, when it comes out, but I seriously have like eight books that I'm trying to finish right now, so...I've gotta get through those first.




Started reading





Julie, I checked out the Help from the library. I too had my interest piqued by the movie trailer. I'm gonna start that one soon.
Right now I'm reading





I don't remember a love triangle or if there was, it wasn't big enough to annoy me or apparently remember it. You should read the next one. It is really good (and I apologize if I forgot about a really annoying love triangle).

Marked as tbr today! Thanks Bethany!





I'm going to sneak in a really neat sci-fi fashionpunk dystopian novel I recently read as a suggestion.
Grey Basically a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, but dystopic fashion consumer wasteland of a world was freaking cool! The language was hyper-colourful in the swearing department. The stuff that comes out of the fathers mouth is unreal! So, between the language and some mentioning of graphic sex, but not depicted, it would slide into the adult section. I'm really looking forward to reading the next one in this world, I've already bought it, but I'm reading an ARC of something for an author right now. Still great stuff, I read this right after reading Devil Wears Prada (sucked) so it was a really interesting transition. I actually went through my read list and discovered that I have read a ton of fashion fiction already! Mostly dealing with a sci-fi slant or culture jamming.
I absolutely loved Scott Westerfeld's So Yesterday

I'm reading


I just finished





So, I dunno if I'm gonna read Across the Great Barrier after all. I tried to start it and just, meh...I'm just not sure I want to finish the series. Plus, my friend just gave me this one...


Yeah, they do have a lot of similarities. I, personally, liked Delirium more than Matched.


Finally, I'm getting around to reading this trilogy. I hear good things. It didn't sound that appealing to me, but I'm gonna give 'em a shot.




ya they are a lot a like but i agree with Bethany Delirium is better in my opinion probably cause there is no love triangle

so i just read the details of EVE and it sounds almost the same as Delirium i liked that book but will EVE be like just reading Delirium all over again

I suppose it has similar themes, but it's not the same. It was, for me, way better than Delirium. It has a lot more action. And, the love thing is more like 'men will decieve and rape you', whereas, with Delirium, they say love doesn't really exist. It's less about the idea of 'love' and more about how all men are evil and have ulterior motives.


Finally, I'm getting around to reading this..."
ok that sounds really good! and it comes out in October?




I really liked The Fallen, can't wait for the next one to come out!


Finished

Moving on to



I have read all 4 of them. Just like your wife, I finished them very quickly. It was a really good series and I highly enjoyed them.



Also finished the

Currently, I'm reading
