I really need to read Bruiser! I love me some Neal Shusterman! *Sigh* LOVE Perfect Chemistry! It's amazing!

You should definitely read Unwind, like ASAP!



I love that series too! I don't read very much contemporary (I actually think her books are the only contemporary I've read), but they are sooo good! I can't get enough, and I seriously cannot wait until the third book in the Perfect Chemistry series comes out!

I've read them! I like them, but like you, they aren't like, The Hunger Games or Mortal Instruments. I'm waiting for the fourth one right now, Defiance!








I also just started Impossible...on pg 115 and I really like it, especially because i'm still totally guessing at what the heck is going on...

I liked that book but I thought there were way too many words wasted on describing their meals and with everything going crazy, more could've happened to them.

I've heard really good things about Stolen, and I've been meaning to give it a try! I might just have to now!




I'm reading it too! I downloaded it yesterday and can't put it down. There are some super-steamy make-out scenes too.
Also one of my favs! Enjoy! :)

I read Dark Life and really enjoyed it.

It's funny that you say Mary was hard to relate to (which I agree), but I actually found Gabry from Dead Tossed Waves even harder to relate too. I love both of these books because of the world (who doesn't love zombies??), but the two MCs are really annoying at times.


Ooo...that sounds good! I'll have to check it out.
Laura & Angie...Dark Life is one of my favorite books. I love the whole concept of the underwater world. It's a great book! I'm glad you guys liked it :)


I know what you mean!!! I'm visiting my dad so I'm having to pace myself so that I'm not being totally rude and ignoring him...lol. If I were at home, I would have finished it the first day. It is super good so far. And honestly, it's the mortal instruments....what's not to like???
Bethany...hehe I finished the day after. Stayed home from school and everything! It's amazing!
Angie, I have that one in hardcover on my shelf. I haven't read it yet, but it sounds really good! I've been meaning to get to it for forever!
Oh, and I want to read Dark Life soooo badly! They just don't have it available for the Nook yet, which is what I'm waiting for!

I can't wait for the sequel to Dark Life...Rip Tide. Should be excellent.


Pays to be a children's librarian...you known when all the good stuff is coming out and you get to buy it and read it first! :)

I thought Gabry could be really annoying, I just related to her better than Mary. I really couldn't stand Mary (at all). I am thinking the writer struggles with the MC because neither character really pulled it off very well. I haven't read the 3rd one yet, getting to it on my list, but I'm hoping the MC is easier to relate to or at least, not quite as selfish and crazy.


its a bit hard to get into. Anyone else read It?"
I've read it. It is really hard to get into, but once you do you won't be able to stop. (:
Oh wow, that was a while ago! You're right! I liked it! But I haven't read any of the others in the series. Have you read them? Are they worth it?



This is one of the best books I've read in a long time! I keep reading slower and slower cause I don't want it to end!

You should always read the books I recommend to you. I don't steer you wrong! :)
Definitely one of my favorite books this year. I loved Finnikin.
I'm going to agree with that rec! That book is absolutely amazing!

I agree - you haven't steered me wrong yet! ;) That's what big sisters are for right? :)


I haven't read anything by Shusterman that I haven't liked yet - I'd say read em all! :)

That series is great! I love the Georgina Kincaid novels - and there's an end in site which is good and bad I guess! :)

Laura - that book is one of the most amazing I have ever read!

Jen, ..."
Amy - The second in the blackout series was just as good as the first - you should check them out!

Lauren, the Knife of Never Letting Go is great! You'll love it! Be sure to pick up the other two in the trilogy.

Yes, I think most of us who've read it are MAJOR Finnikin fans! That is my favorite book of all time...the one I would take to the deserted island. I totally know what you mean about reading it slowly, but it doesn't even matter. One time I finished that book and the went right back to the beginning and started all over again. It's my happy book. And I could pee my pants at the fact that it is possibly going to become a trilogy.

Bethany ~ That's great news (about the trilogy) - I would love to read more about Finnikin!
