I totally agree
David wrote: "That looks interesting, how is it?"So far it's good. Right when I felt it was starting to drag it picked back up. Still don't know why they are after the kid yet and I'm hoping it gets to that soon!
I am now reading
, 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.
Right now I'm reading Divergent by Veronica Roth (it has been on my waiting list for a LONG time, but I just finished reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

I'm loving
I am Beta Reading for a lovely Author Friend (loving so far) and also reading
and have slipped really easily into the book series.
Currently I am reading Divergent by Veronica Roth and The Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. I am super excited to read Prodigy by Marie Lu! :)
Wow, good line-up Jess :) ENJOY! Did anyone else finish Prodigy yet? I enjoyed it although there were some things I didn't like, but overall, a really good read with some nice twists and strong worldbuilding toward the end :)
Currently reading the Chaos Walking trilogy, found it hard to get through The Knife of Never Letting go, but it picked up and I flew through it, and The Ask and The Answer, just started Monsters of Men, and I'm hoping this one pulls through strong also.

Although I loved all three of them :) I found the third to be unbelievable and the ending was PERFECT!! Enjoy :)
Loved The Maze Runner!I'm reading
and listening to
on audio. Waiting for
to pop up on my Nook on Tuesday!

for a Read to Review and then onto
for a book of the month over in my other YA group :)

This series is the most amazing thing every. It was so good I just couldn't read anything else for a month. So intense. Amazing!!
I just read "Rapture" and "Tribulation" by Philip W. Simpson and LOVED them... great YA apocalyptic book about the rapture and the 7 years following. Great protaganist that you can't help but root for"
Just finished Monsters of Men. The book was just WOW!!... It was OMG!... Just the Ending was very heart wrenching. But a great ending none the less. : )

I finished it and just, was awe struck by it, I can't really express how I'm feeling right now after that.
Michael wrote: "I finished it and just, was awe struck by it, I can't really express how I'm feeling right now after that."If you 're like the rest of us, you'll go into Chaos withdrawals now! ;-P
I am still in the process of re-reading
because I too, like Karen, am waiting for
to pop up on Tuesday. As well as
. 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...
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!!!!
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!
well i am trying to read
but i've been trying to read that for ages! i started and finished
really good though doesn't compare to ya dystopians!
So excited! I just picked up the following from the library!
And after I get through those I have these waiting on the hold shelf
All the books always seem to come at once!
I'm starting Beautiful Creatures today. Not a dystopian, but the movie is out today and wanted to read it before seeing it. :D
just finished up
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.
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.
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 am currently reading
Gabriel's Hope by Lizzy Ford. Awesome book by the way and I am almost done. :)

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.
