I had a difficult time with The Maze Runner at first too. But when I got far enough in I figured out why and was totally in awe of his writing. Although starting out a brand new series that way was risky in my opinion. When you read it you feel exactly the same was as Thomas'. Just keep plugging along and you'll get there. I almost stopped so many times. Glad I didn't!

Yay!! Are you completely enjoying them?!

Started Dreamless and am just 20% shy of done. Has a similarity to City of Ashes ..."


I'm looking forward to DREAMLESS. I really liked STARCROSSED.

So far so good... I guess my heart and soul wasn't in it the first time around. (2 full time jobs + Uni full time = no time for ANYTHING)

I'm reading Insurgent right now, after a long adventure trying to find it in the UK (the first published batch was misprinted and had to be recollected. Sucks!).

I've also started Howl's Moving Castle (I know it's not Dystopian, but it's really good!) and Ashes, but have decided to put them on hold for the meantime until my two week trip to Spain. :) I have quite a few lined up to read at the beach. Super excited!

I love Howl's Moving Castle! Such a good book. If you get a chance, you should watch the movie from Studio Ghibli. It's freaking awesome!

You definitely need to read Angel Evolution first as this is a trilogy, but I definitely recommend it. Very unique story line. Here is my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Woo hoo!! I haven't finished the rest of the trilogy, but the first book, Angel Evolution (The Evolution Trilogy, #1) by David Estes was really good. And David is in our group here so if for no other reason, you should read it to support him. My friend just finished the third book and she loved the whole trilogy!

*cheesy grin* I told you it was AMAZING!!!

Hey, my friend just finished the Angel trilogy and was screaming my ear off about how amazing it was and how she wishes you would write more books in the series!! But don't get a big head or anything ;) Anyhow, I promised her I wouldn't start another new book before I started Demon Evolution. So, I'll probably start it this week.


message 1237: by David (new)

David Estes (davidestesbooks) Lol you have earned my complete trust on book recommendations Bethany, I will always listen to you!!

Aww so glad your friend liked it! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series, I think I get better as a writer as it goes on and I can't wait for you to read The Moon Dwellers, I listened to all the constructive feedback from my Angel Evolution readers to improve even more (at least I hope!)

Carrie | 1 comments I am reading Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder...pretty good so far!


message 1239: by Bethany (new)

Bethany Started Demon Evolution (The Evolution Trilogy, #2) by David Estes and this one from the library, Try Not to Breathe by Jennifer R. Hubbard - not a dystopian, but it's a good book so far.

David Estes (davidestesbooks) Thanks Bethany, you made my day!!


message 1249: by Bethany (new)

Bethany I finished both Demon Evolution (The Evolution Trilogy, #2) by David Estes and The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze last night. I really enjoyed both. The Last Princess was an awesome PA novel. I had low expectations of it for some reason, but it really surprised me. Definitely a must read for this group!
