Young Adult Fiction for Adults discussion
What are you reading now?
I am reading
and it is an amazing dystopian YA novel thus far. It is really short, but really in depth.
by Veronica Roth, I'm about half way through and so far it's really good. I think I'm going to have a hard time waiting until May to read the next one.

I listened to the first two in audio and thought the performance was great. I have the 3rd lined up, just no chance to listen yet.

I really loved Matched, and Crossed had its moments but all aroun..."Bummer. I just got Matched and Crossed from the library. I loved Divergent and The Hunger Games. What about it didn't you like? Whiny characters? Slow in parts?
I just picked up Suite Dreams by Rachel Hawthorne on sale at Books a Million. I love her contemporary stuff as light and fun reads!

I am reading a young adult book, but it is not a series and it is not paranormal, it has been chosen by the Library Journal as one of the top ten books of 2011
it is a very good read. I am only about 25% in.
Regina wrote: "Hunger Games was published first. :)"Thanks :) That's interesting.... since the stories (basic structure/idea...and a rebellious girl/ 2 guys theme) are so similar! Either way, I am enjoying them.
About to start reading Tithe by Holly Black. I liked her Black Cat series, so I'm trying something else by her.
I'm reading the fourth book in the House of Night series, Untamed. I like this series, but the third book really bugged me with Zoey's slutty behaviour and not one, not two, but three love interests. I hope this book is better.
Reading
.Also ALMOST done with listening to
. Does anyone know how accurate it is on the old fairytale? I'm really curious since this is such a lovely story that was never disney-fied.

Cassi aka Snow White wrote: "I'm going to have to find an read the fairytale. [spoilers removed]"Well, try and read
and
they're also the same fairytale and compare them to the original too. I think Ice is probably the most unique one I've read yet.

But everyone said that they would get better and Zoey would get less skanky. It does gets better, still not a phenomenal series, in my opinion, but it does get better after the third or fourth book :)
Just finished
and already started
Loved Maze Runner (Eventho it made me sad). 20% in already not happy about something in The Scorch Trials lol.
