I hadn't heard that. They've been trying to make it into a movie since the 70's, so here's hoping it actually takes this time.

Reportedly it has Abagail Breslin and Harrison Ford (per EW). According to IMBD it is in preproduction and Ender is being played by Assa Butterfield from Hugo and Nanny McPhee Returns.

Yes, although I have to say I was less impressed with
because it just did not stand up to the first book. However
was good! I recommend this entire series!
I just finished
. You MUST read this book! I cannot wait for
to be released! I will be starting
tomorrow.

I was really disappointed with the ending of FOREVER, though on the whole I liked the whole series.
Brooke wrote: "I just finished . You MUST read this book! I cannot wait for to be released! I will be starting tomorrow."I am one of a very small minority that didn't like
. I haven't decided yet if I'll read the next in that series. I did love
though!
Brooke wrote: "I just finished . You MUST read this book! I cannot wait for to be released! I will be starting tomorrow."Have you read
? I thought it was a really exceptional entry in the dystopian field!
Melodie wrote: "Brooke wrote: "I just finished . You MUST read this book! I cannot wait for to be released! I will be starting [bookcover:Delirium|7686667..."I haven't, but it's on my list!!! Maybe in February.
Did you like The Hunger games?
I loved
, I'm looking foreward to the next two. Gotta make another trip to the library, ha.
Brooke wrote: "I just finished . You MUST read this book! I cannot wait for to be released! I will be starting tomorrow."I really want to read
!
Lizzie wrote: "Brooke wrote: "I just finished . You MUST read this book! I cannot wait for to be released! I will be starting [bookcover:Delirium|7686667..."You have to read it! It's so good!

Melodie wrote: "Brooke wrote: "I just finished . You MUST read this book! I cannot wait for to be released! I will be starting [bookcover:Delirium|7686667..."I didn't love Divergent either Melodie! Too many questions. Not enough answers. I have the unfortunate habit of comparing everything in the dystopian genre to Chaos Walking and Hunger Games now and it was not in their league IMHO.
Brooke wrote: "Did you like The Hunger games?:..."Yes, I LOVED The Hunger Games. Have recommended it to countless people.
YES, read it!! Melodie really is part of a small minority. A cuckoo minority if you ask me :)Divergent is awesome! It was my favorite dystopian for 2011.
My other group that I belong to, which is a PA/Dystopian group, is gonna read
for our February monthly read. I'm really looking forward to it, heard lots of great things.

Sweet! I can't wait. I'll let you know what I think ;)

Forgive My Finsabout 1/4 done and not sure about this book. i wanted to read more about mermaids after briefly "meeting

I read one called Sea Change that I really enjoyed. I think it was part of a trilogy but I'm not sure. I enjoyed it though. Also, try Everblue, it's pretty good so far from what I read.
Currently reading
and going to be starting
I hate giving up on books, but I'm just not into
Also slowly working through
Heyo YA readers. I'm reading The Scorpio Races. Has anyone else read it? I'm not very far into it yet - only a couple of pages - so there is still time to bail out and not feel guilty.

I'm reading Scorpio Races and I really like it, but I'm only about 100 pages in. I'm a big fan of Maggie Stiefvater's writing though.
I absolutely loved the Scorpio Races. It was much slower, but I really fell for it. It was a beautiful story, although full of violence and some gore. I really loved it!

Yes, you may! http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/4...
We've got plenty of recommendations for you!

Jessica, the link is ^above. It's a group purely focused on the Post-Apocalptic and Dystopian genres. We'd love to have you! Shatter Me is the book we read for January. I loved it.
I didn't necessarily disslike EVE, but it wasn't very groundbreaking. It was like, the quintessential dystopian novel. Not very original, but I didn't hate it.

I wasn't really disappointed because I didn't expect much out of it in the first place, lol. I actually liked it more than I thought I would.

I liked SHATTER ME, too, but thought all the flowery prose started to wear really thin!
