Teresa Myers (teresamyers) Just finished Renegade (The Elysium Chronicles, #1) by J.A. Souders (sooo good) and now I'm on to Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis . It's eerily similar to Glow so far but I"m going to keep going. I hopefully will be meeting these authors at the RT convention and want to know their work.

Carey | 100 comments Just finished What Really Happened in Peru?. Anyone else read it yet...any Magnus Bane fans out there?


message 1508: by Bethany (new)

Bethany I love Magnus. He's my favorite after Jace. I actually just saw a little ad for that book. I don't know if I'll read it. Was it good?


message 1509: by Carey (new)

Carey | 100 comments Magnus adventures...you have to read it!! Some pretty funny stuff. A little sad. I liked it and it was quick.
Clockwork Princess was her best book yet, I think. I was bawling and laughing and bawling...such good writing.

message 1526: by ♥ Rebecca ♥ (new)

 ♥ Rebecca ♥ Finished reading Darkness Falls (Darkness Falls, #1) by Jessica Sorensen , which was good but not great imo. But it put me in the mood for post-apocs, so I am reading the shorts The Raid (Eden, #0.6) by Keary Taylor and The Ashes An Eden Prequel by Keary Taylor , before re-reading The Bane (The Eden Trilogy, #1) by Keary Taylor . I already read it when it was Eden (Eden, #1) by Keary Taylor .


message 1527: by Taylor (new)

Taylor Through the ever night


message 1528: by Bethany (new)

Bethany I just finished Starters (Starters and Enders, #1) by Lissa Price and HIGHLY recommend it for the group. It was a great dystopian. And I've been in a serious dry spell, but this one was awesome and so, so refreshing!

Now I'm starting The Lost Saint (The Dark Divine, #2) by Bree Despain and Ink (Paper Gods, #1) by Amanda Sun


message 1529: by Bret (new)

Bret Wellman The stand! Sooo good

I'm reading that one too. Really like it so far!


message 1533: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm re-reading Stephen King's "Under The Dome" since the June series release is upon us! It's taking me longer than usual though, it's such a long book it's like 1100 pages. :S


message 1534: by Gabriel (new)

Gabriel  (queerscorpio) Currently reading This House is Haunted by John Boyne (which is signed because I saw John Boyne talk about this book at an event!) and All These Things I've Done which is alright. Re-reading for the millionth time Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which never gets old (massive Potterhead :p )!
Hoping to read The Great Gatsby soon :)


message 1535: by Jenna (new)

Jenna I am currently reading The Mortal Instruments City of Glass. I know the movie is coming out soon and i have to say i am disappointed with their decision of putting Lily Collins as Clary. The books are fabulous tho! i am also reading Zombies vs. Unicorns, which is a book of short stories concerning... zombies and unicorns!


message 1536: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Forsgren | 1 comments I just finished Eve and Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate. I really liked that one and love anything by Michael Grant so far.
Now, I'm reading Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith.


message 1537: by Jenna (new)

Jenna Ender's Game

This book is fantastic! i don't know if this would be considered dystopian, but it is definently post-apocolyptic. It is told from the perspective of a six year old boy (though narrarated in third person omnitient), and i find it completely fascinating. I cant wait to read the entire thing. There is a reason this is a classic!

I've heard so many good things about that, can't wait to read it:)

At the moment I am reading Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver , and The Children of Green Knowe (Green Knowe, #1) by L.M. Boston . I am also listening to The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker's Guide, #2) by Douglas Adams

Enjoying them all so far, but for some reason I have always had a little trouble with audiobooks. I can't quite get into it, and no matter how interesting it is, my mind tends to dance away. I get sucked into stories more when I read them myself.


message 1540: by Bethany (new)

Bethany I'm in the middle of Open Minds (Mindjack Trilogy, #1) by Susan Kaye Quinn and starting a netgalley copy of Gated by Amy Christine Parker


message 1541: by [deleted user] (new)

So far I'm reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and On The Spartacus Road: a Journey Through Ancient Italy, and I'm also thinking of rereading A Game of Thrones and Under the Domesince the miniseries is coming out in JUNE! =)

I love the Ender series. SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD (book 2) is my favorite in the series. Have been waiting for movie version of Ender's Game for years; it has release date of Nov. 1st.


message 1548: by Anne (new)

Anne (sheldoal) | 2 comments Just started DIVERGENT and am really liking it. My husband bought and really liked WORLD WAR Z, so I guess I'll tackle that soon.


message 1549: by Jenna (new)

Jenna I really couldn't get into Speaker for the Dead. I was in like the first half and nothing was really driving me to keep reading it. Does it get better?


message 1550: by Bret (new)

Bret Wellman I am thinking about reading speaker of the dead just so I can find out if the aliens come back or not.
