I have it on my list for December. I think I am going to do "Dystopian December" and read only dystopian/PA books that month since I have SO many and some I've had for like 2 years and haven't gotten to.
Very suprised at how good this Indie book is. This is part Divergent, part Harry Potter, with a splash of Percy Jackson. Only about halfway, but it's really good.
I just got done with
and
. Both were fabulous and I would definitely recommend them. Great dystopian/PAs.
Better later than never, I started reading Battle RoyaleLast night I wanted to start The Black Prism, although I'm tired of trilogies of lazy authors, but hey, let's give it a chance - then discovered that the trilogy is actually going to be a tetralogy, so, sorry, back with you to the library, darling!
Just got a new audio book for when I'm working. About half way

I just read
, which was excellent. I'm looking for a good book...
Cheer wrote: "I just read , which was excellent. I'm looking for a good book..." Have you read 
and
? I really liked those, and the short stories that go with them.
I started
last night (already not what I was expecting). I'm doing a Dystopian December and planning to read only dystopian/PA books this month so I can knock some out I've had around forever.
Julie wrote: "I started last night (already not what I was expecting). I'm doing a Dystopian December and planning to read only dystopian/PA books this month so I can knock some ..."I'm interested in hearing your review on this book since the ones I've read so far have been mediocre at best.
Julie wrote: "Cheer wrote: "I just read , which was excellent. I'm looking for a good book..." Have you read and 
!
Finishing up
. Liking it. Took a direction a didn't expect. Just before this one I read
. You are correct in your statement Bethany. But I actually loved it.
-- about 40% through. I love these books :)
E.R. wrote: " -- about 40% through. I love these books :)" I can't decide if I want to read this one or 
first. Decisions Decisions...I love them both.

Julie wrote: "I started last night (already not what I was expecting). I'm doing a Dystopian December and planning to read only dystopian/PA books this month so I can knock some ..."That one was mediocre for me as well. I thought it could have been much better.
I think I'm gonna start
as well. Love the last book. Excited for this one.
Ooo...I just finished
. So good. I think this series as a whole has been one of my favorite ever. Loved the ending, it was so perfect :)
I just finishedHELPER12 and really enjoyed it. It's a standalone one book which is a nice break for trilogies.Before that I read The Testing and already preordered the next book coming out in January.
I'm reading The Dog Starswhich reminds me of The Road, which is weird because I'm having some trouble getting into it and I loved The Road. I think it's because there is no little boy.
I'm reading
and
. I just started The Old Man and the Wasteland, but it's supposed to reference The Old Man and the Sea throughout the book.
I just finished and reviewed
by JA Huss, so plz pop over to my page to read the review. A fascinating book and I've already bought the sequel(s).

i am currently reading the e-book orbs by nicholas smith, but hope to start the legend series by this weekend.
Marcus wrote: "i am currently reading the e-book orbs by nicholas smith, but hope to start the legend series by this weekend."I read the prequel to ORBS, but haven't read ORBS yet. I liked Legend, but it's been such a longtime, I may need to reread it before I read the sequels.
I just finished
(really good) and
(awful, not really though...just made me feel awful)
I'm halfway through
, its not really what I was expecting but it isn't bad so far.
Julie wrote: "I'm halfway through , its not really what I was expecting but it isn't bad so far."I am working on book 2 right now,
. Its even better.
I just finished
(which I've been meaning to read for a long time) and
(which I wasn't really planning on reading ever) And I enjoyed both immensely. I especially love Incarnate...just sayin'.Now I'm reading
which is cutesy so far, but not amazing. I'm thinking either
or
next.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Veronica Roth did readers a favor by challenging us!, Lee http://yadystopiafiction.wordpress.co...
I'm currently in the middle of Champion by Marie Lu and Allegiant by Veronica Roth.
I'm not reading ya at this time. I've started four books, and as of right now I don't know which one I like the best.
I am the messenger by mark zusak
the hobbit by tolkien
jack blank by Matt
the red pyramid by Rick riordan
as of right none of the books have complete your blown me away. so I'll probably just keeping switching between them until one of them takes me away.
I'm currently reading Outcasts (The Safe Lands #2). Outcasts I'm enjoying it. I enjoyed the first book, Captives (The Safe Lands #1) Captives but it ended on a bit of a cliff-hanger so I had to read the next book. ;)
I just finished
and am trying to decide what I want next
Right now, I am reading
by Lizzy Ford.

Yeah, the last 3 books are so different than the first, thats the thing with the series. It draws a certain audience with book 1 and then kinda loses them later. I hope you enjoy Xenocide more than I did. It was my least fave in the series. The Shadow saga is more like Ender's Game, but its very politic.
