I've read Current (River of Time) and Vanish (Firelight), now onto The Scorch Trials. It's so awesome I even dreamt I was in it last night. ;)





I just got








This series is soooooo good!! Recommending it to anyone who enjoys dystopian novels.

Also picked up from the library...





I just picked up





I will definitely let you know how The Eleventh Plague is. I think you'll really like The Power of Six...I loved it!
I've started


Right now I'm reading





It's been getting great reviews, but I'm a little curious to how much action is in it.

I haven't, but I definitely want to. It sounds awesome. If you read it, let us know!






I can't decide if I want to "drop everything" for


edited: I found this list of books most often banned from 2000-2009 http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy... if anyone is interested. I'm not finding where it is "officially" banned books month (I keep seeing that Banned Books week ended yesterday), but who casre!?! Read a banned book!


Starting


Been reading a good bit of zombie books lately. Maybe my mind is subconsciously getting pumped for The Walking Dead season 2 to start this month.


I'm glad that you've found a list of banned books and are continuing the trend. I found a lot of articles about banned book week too. I think that nationwide it's just one week, but depending on where you live they continue it throughout the month. That's how I interpret it anyway. I'll definitely reconsider my reading selections since I'm in the same situation. I've read them both already but it's been awhile, but now I'm thinking I want to read a new banned book(not a classic).
TMI/ID books are amazing! How are you liking them so far?


Blood and Chocolate, Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes,The Giver, and A Wrinkle in Time are all good books that aren't classics. The Giver and A Wrinkle in Time are possibly classics, but The Giver is excellent.


I finished



I was super excited about this book, but I'm nervous now that I've started it. I'm not far enough in to determine whether the plot is good, but the lack of quotation marks is really annoying, in my opinion. And I'm none too fond of the backwoods hillbilly spelling either. Hopefully it all gets more tolerable.

Yeah, power of six was waaaay better! I think you'll like Wolfsbane too. I'm not sure that I liked it as well as Nightshade, but it wasn't bad by any means...I really enjoyed getting to know the Searchers.


I'm loving TMI! I haven't started ID yet. I'm actually taking a TMI break and reading "Son of Neptune". I know I won't be able to renew it from the library, and there's a pretty big list of poeple waiting for it, so I figured I'd get to it first. I'm going to try to get to a banned book after I get through these!

That's awesome you're responding to and seeking out a banned book. I really hope you continue to enjoy TMI, they're definitely my favorite books. I have yet to read any of Rick Riordan's series. I heard that they're good, I just haven't gotten around to them yet. I'm slowly acquiring the first series; just purchasing whichever one I happen to find when I go bookshopping.

I am a huge fan of TMI. But, I love Percy Jackson as well and I totally get you putting TMI aside for Son of Neptune...I am dying to read that book!


I just got it from the library and I had it marked as a maybe-read, but I am so glad that I actually gave it a shot. I think it may be one of my new favorites. REALLY good book!



Anyways, I´m enjoying Everlost so far. Allie is such a strong girl.



Anyways, I´m e..."
The Everlost series is really good! If you like it, you should read some of the other stuff by Neal Shusterman. He is one of my favorite authors.
You should definitely give wake another try in the future. I really enjoyed that series ;)





AaaaaaMazing!"
I am also currently reading City of Fallen Angels. I actually discovered the series after joining this group!



..."
My bad. I didn´t read that comment until now, sorry :(
Yes. I want to read Unwind and Midnighters *_* I needed something like that. His writing is amazing :)
The problem I had with Wake was definitely the author´s style and the main character, but I´ll read it again ^^


Arg! I wanna reaaaaad that! well, I just might have to buy it now that I know it comes highly recommended ;) Thanks Julie!
I just finished

It was really good and surprisingly hard to put down. I read it in a couple of hours. Really good contemporary fiction. And Stephanie Perkins is a very funny author...I LOL'd a lot.
I'm also just about through
