I'm in the middle of Matched and feel torn. I want to love it, some parts are amazing, but part of me is a little disappointed.
It was pretty mediocre. I'll end up reading the second book only because it finally picked up near the end. I think Wither was a little bit better.
I have a love/hate thing with Matched...I really like it, but there are things I really don't like about it.I have yet to read Wither but I've heard great things about it.

Kristina, I don't know that I would buy Anna. It's super cute and I very much enjoyed it, but I'm not sure about re-readability. But as I usually say, to each their own!
The Bronze Horseman and loving it. Although this is not a YA book it does showcase a Russian girl growing up during the outbreak of WW2. I started it on Saturday night basically couldn't put it down. About 3/4's of the way through it right now. I've really been hitting about every emotion throughout the book: anger, sadness, joy, fear, etc..

Cuteness!! I think the alien voices and sounds are what make it perfect for audiobook format.

Carmel I thought City of Fallen Angels was great! I like where the story is going, plus there is a new character who I can't wait to learn more about. I wish we didn't have to wait a year for the next one!
Ashley wrote: "Carmel I thought City of Fallen Angels was great! I like where the story i..."hey ashley,
I have already ordered COFA but I'm still not quite sure if I should read it, 'cause everybody says there's a big cliffhanger at the end - is that true?? :(

I'm almost finished reading Torment by Lauren Kate. I would post the little link picture thing on here but I don't know how. Anyway, I've actually enjoyed the books (Fallen and Torment) unlike a lot of reviews I've read.
Lauren, right above the comment box is the text "add book/author". Click on that and search for the book or author you want to add. Remember there is a checkbox for adding an image of the book or just a text link. It's pretty easy, but let me know if you need me to take a screen shot.I skipped that book, but I know there are a lot of people on here that read it :)

Becca wrote: "Reading Leviathan, interesting so far."I really liked it. I know some people have been so-so about it. I enjoyed the world-building and only found a couple of chapters a little slowish (in the middle of course). Can't wait to get the next one from the library.

Yes, unfortunately there is a cliffhanger ending, but I don't regret reading the book! It really was good!

I really loved the setting, there was something about the way they all lived that I couldn't look away from. I kept wanting to know more about the society and why it was the way it was. But...the story line between her having to choose between the guys....i couldn't get into it. :(
Just finished
and it was really good. I probably liked it more than
.. mostly because I like Adam's character better than Mia's. Not sure if I want to go out and buy
(it was released today) or if I should just suck it up and read one of the many that I have waiting on my bookshelf...

Can't wait for Where She Went! I am on hold at the library so I have to wait a few weeks. boo!

Liz wrote: "GOING BOVINE by Libba Bray. Not sure yet how I feel about it.
"I really enjoyed Libba Bray's Great and Terrible Beauty series, but I'm not sure if I would read Going Bovine..it seems very different
Going Bovine is funny--very different but I liked it a lot. It seems to fit Libba Bray's personality more.
@Caryn and @Cassi - the writing and characters in GOING BOVINE are very clever. I love the humor but it almost sounds too old for a YA voice. Am enjoying so far. Will soldier on.
Just started City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Enjoying it so far.
