I just finished reading
. I got a copy from Netgalley so I kinda assumed it was a new book, but no. It was published in 2011. And OMG, people...this is an amazing book!!! It's not dystopian, it actually fantasy, with magic and all that. But, this is one of the best, most creative, fun books that I have read in quite a while. It's only $2.99 on kindle and book 2, which is also out, is only $2.99 as well. And trust me, after you finish the first book, you will be logging on to your kindle account to buy the next one.
I just finished "Eve" & then "Once" by Anna Carey-quick reads, loved them. Last week i read "Destroy me" and "Shatter me" by Tahereh Mafi. I am so deep into Dystopian books i could list sooo many that i have loved..i wonder if i will ever leave this genre again LOL Happy reading!!

I just finished reading Purity and Danger - by Mary Douglas (although I don't know if I'd count it since it was for school) :p

I liked Hollowland. I was disappointed with the second book. Hopefully you enjoy it more than I did :/I've started reading
from Netgalley. It's sort of interesting. It takes place in a circus so it kinda feels like Water for Elephants a little bit.
Let's see, this week I read
and
. I also just finished
and
both from Netgalley. Really enjoyed both books. Snow whyte was an interesting take from the POV of the mirror. Now I'm reading
which I'm loving.
I am currently finishing up
which I have been struggling to get through for a long time and now at about 80% done I'm finally starting to get into it.I also just started reading
with my son. Tonight I'm picking up
and
from the library.
I'm reading
and LOVE it more than the first....if only because I'm used to the style and accent from BRR. The writing just feels warm and cozy, with an edge of nervousness. So good!

The Assassin's curse is REALLY good! I loved that book. You have to let me know how the other two are. I really liked Awaken and have been curious about the sequel. I've wanted to buy black city, but I'm hesitant. I'd like to hear from someone who read it first, so please let me know what you think when you're done :)
I just finished this book that I got from Netgalley and it was soooo good!
Now I'm reading
and re-reading

Okay, this book is amazing!!! It doesn't actually come out until April, but when it does, I am definitely nominating it for the group!
Hey! Does anyone have Legend on kindle or nook?? If so(and if it is a lend-able book) would you be willing to lend it to me? I would like to re-read it before Prodigy comes out, but I don't really want to buy my own copy. Thanks :)
I finished
, it was sooo good!! So proud of Ms Hooper, she's an amazing Indie!Now I'm reading
, I'm addicted to Patrick Ness's writing!

Too bad I hadn't seen your comment earlier...

OK, recommendations please! :P In particular, if you have any recommends for dystopian novels that aren't YA, that would be great. Would love to read one that is non-YA to see how they compare.
