I just finished Rape Girl Rape Girl by Alina Klein. Such an excellent book. I hope this book becomes a must read in all high schools.

Jane Austen has all this 'literary' reputation going on, so getting past that is BAM! If you can get past the language, it's such fun stuff. You're going to get addicted:)

Right now I'm reading
. I freaked out when I heard about this book because my favorite of Austen's stories is by far, Persuasion. And I was more than a little excited about a re-telling of that story with a dystopian twist. I mean, come on...awesome right!?

What did you think of Wither?

The dystopian world that she created had a lot of holes and wasn't well thought out, but I was drawn into the relationships she created between the characters. Unless you are a huge dystopian fan, I would probably skip it.

I loved WITHER. Now, FEVER, which is the second book in the trilogy was pretty bad!

At the moment I'm reading
and though it started slow it turned out to become a real page-turner. Sad, twisting and full of emotions.
Killing Lincoln. Fascinating reading about all the details going into the last two weeks of Lincoln's life

I just finished it, and it was very slow. I did like it, though.

Sydney is boring but she grows on you. Adrian witty personality dies a little, you kind of miss it, but you undertand is part of him developing a character.

Yeah, they don't really appeal to me either. I really like the cover on beautiful disaster though:)

I liked Fifty Shades, but not as much as I hoped I would. I read too much hype before it was released. A little BDSM can just make a good thing better sometimes!! LOL

I read it for free when it was Twilight fanfiction, so I really can't take it seriously...

It's my first Melina Marchetta, and with all the raving I've heard about her in this group, I thought I needed to give it a shot.
