I LOVED it! maybe more than the 1st?? At least as much as the first!

Lizzie | 20 comments Finally got to Hunger (Gone, #2) by Michael Grant , I liked it alright but I liked Gone (Gone, #1) by Michael Grant better.

I think this is the best of the 3 so far in the Hush, Hush series.

I gave it 3.5 stars. I liked the story, but I don't think it was on par with books like The Hunger Games and Divergent. I also found the characters a bit hard to believe, being as they were supposed to be so young. This, however, won't stop me from reading the next one when it comes out! LOL! I do recommend it, but I don't think anyone should go into it thinking it is another dystopian like The Hunger Games or Divergent, or even Delirium.

Tish | 207 comments Just started both Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and Wonder by R.J. Palacio and both are great even though I'm only maybe 50 pages into each one! I've had Neverwhere sitting on my bookshelf for ages, don't even know where it came from, but I'm glad not to have to be waiting for yet another book from the library!

I rated it on par with DELIRIUM which I also gave 5 stars, but not good as THE HUNGER GAMES which is in a class by itself! I didn't like DIVERGENT and am still deciding if I'll read the second in that series.

See, didn't love Delirium as much as Divergent I think I just preferred the characters in that one and the story line was faster paced and left my heart racing.

Hey Melodie, I received Article 5 the other day too! I have a few books to read before I can get to it but I am curious about it!

Lizzie | 20 comments Read Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth today, finally got it from the library. It was good, can't wait for Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth . I think dystopia(sp?) is quickly becoming my favorite YA genre.

I'm really enjoying all the dystopians, too. The only one I read that was REALLY bad was The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher .

Bethany | 578 comments I just finished Hallowed (Unearthly, #2) by Cynthia Hand last night and I have very mixed feelings about it. It was actually an amazing book. But (view spoiler) I don't know what the third book is gonna look like, but I'm looking forward to it a lot.

Read The Name of the Star (Shades of London, #1) by Maureen Johnson a few months ago and was thoroughly underwhelmed with it.

Under the Never Sky was slow to start for me, but I am really glad I stuck with it. It was awesome!

Please let us know what you think of this one. Looks really good.


Jessica (BlogEared Books) (blogearedbooks) | 52 comments I started Soulless, based on some reviews on here (i believe). its a little corny so far- help me out! have you all read it and should I push through?

Soulless


message 12290: by Becca (new)

Becca | 1608 comments I loved Soulless, but I thought it was absolutely hilarious. It may not be your type of humor. The storyline is actually quite good and the steampunk element is pretty creative, imo. I vote you push through. If you get to the end and still don't like it, I'd recommend you don't continue the series. I have some serious love for Alexia and Maccon though.


message 12291: by Diana (new)

Diana I'm almost finished with Reincarnation by Suzanne Weyn , after that I might move on to Abandon (Abandon Trilogy, #1) by Meg Cabot ,, but I'm not sure since I have a few mythology based books waiting to be read and I'd like to read them continuously and doubt I'll be able to right now.

I loved Remembrance, I've been wanting to read the next in the story but I might just wait til the last comes out so I can read them together.

I really enjoyed

The Fallen and Leviathan (The Fallen, #1-2) by Thomas E. Sniegoski . I have the 3rd book on my shelf but haven't gotten to it yet. I even downloaded the tv mini-series with Paul Wesley from the Vampire Diaries in it, lol! Gabriel made me cry at one point though, I'm very tender hearted when it comes to animals.
