Sandra "Jeanz" | 49 comments I am now reading Manipulation (Shadows #2) by Jolene Perry , it's not dystopian but it's a great book for those wanting to try paranormal for the first time, I'd call it a gentle introduction.

Awesome, that's my favorite YA dystopian series ever!! Although I loved all three of them :) I found the third to be unbelievable and the ending was PERFECT!! Enjoy :)

message 1429: by Bethany (new)

Bethany I am still in the process of re-reading Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer because I too, like Karen, am waiting for Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer to pop up on Tuesday. As well as Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi . I found the first five chapters of Scarlet free for Nook and I must say...reading that DID NOT HELP! It starts off Soooo good. I'm super excited to read it! And (small spoiler that's not really a spoiler) you see Cinder in those first 5 chapters, so yay! I think it's gonna be a good one...


message 1430: by Carey (new)

Carey | 100 comments Chaos withdrawals is VERY hard to go through. Agree with you all, the best series and ending ever!! It's just to hard to put into words the feelings I had when I finished. Just freaking amazing!! I'd read it again, but I'm already behind and can't afford another withdrawal month. Lol

Awesome, yeah, it was really good but now we have to wait a year for the last book!!!!


message 1436: by Carey (new)

Carey | 100 comments I still need to read those. Maybe I'll wait till the final book is released. The waits are killer!


message 1437: by David (new)

David Estes (davidestesbooks) Yeah, I hate the waiting too, I made the mistake of reading the first book right after it came out, and then I did the same with the second book LOL That's what I did for Divergent as well. I really need to learn my lesson!

message 1441: by Bethany (last edited Feb 14, 2013 07:20AM) (new)

Bethany just finished up The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines, #3) by Richelle Mead this morning. I was pretty happy with it,considering at the end of the last book I wanted to kill things. Really enjoyed this installment :)

I think I'll probably start Fire Country now.

message 1444: by Carey (new)

Carey | 100 comments Finished Beautiful Creatures with a little time to spare this morning before heading to the movie. Excited to watch it come to life on the big screen.


message 1445: by Bret (new)

Bret Wellman I've always been tempted to read "A million little peaces" you will have to let me know how it is.
And the beautiful creatures movie sounds like a good idea, I wonder if it is as creepy as the book.

I really like it. It's very raw. It's funny because I didn't know about all the drama surrounding the book until after I started it, but I don't really care about all that. I'm enjoying the book.
