Am reading Divergent by Veronica Roth as a way to cure the Hunger Games withdrawal I had last weekend. It has a good solid story in my opinion, although not as fast paced as the first and second hunger games.Anyone has any other suggestions for a good YA fiction?

I am reading The Fallen Star .. which is cute, I do not really have a favourite character though, it has enough to keep me reading.

There are a couple different genres here. Hope you like em :)

Ship Breaker. Anyone else reading it right now?

Don't like the cover, but apparently will have to read it at some point:)

I like the cover, but if I saw it in a book store, I would assume it was a light, happy book. This is not the case. This book is not light and not always happy, although there are happy moments. I don't understand the choice behind this cover, but the book is wonderful so it's hard to care.
Melodie wrote: "Loved SHATTER ME!"The writing is amazing. Mafi really uses it effectively to give Juliette an 'alien' feel.

Is the second one out? I liked the first one but did not "love" it. Since Chaos Walking I have not "loved" a dystopian novel. It ruined me for all others or something.

It is my favorite read of 2012 so far.
Just finished
...I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!!! So good, probably one of my favorites of the year!

so far so good. The cover is creepy:)"
I think the cover is awesome! I'm still waiting for the book but it should be here soon! :)
Finished
, really enjoyed it :)I decided to skip over Monstrous Beauty for now, since I just read a mermaid book. Haven't read a good vampire book in a while so I'm gonna start
. Hope it's good :)

I second that.
I work at Barnes & Noble, and during our morning meeting, one of the booksellers mentioned the popularity of 50 Shades of Grey. Apparently, people have been attending events for Between Shades of Gray under the assumption that it was for the other book. Awkward!

I actually saw this at my library. I thought it looked kind of literary, like a Jonathan Saffron Foer.

Rotters was entirely not what I was expecting. No zombies whatsoever. Liked the book. Partials was fun, but not knock your socks off good.
