Yeah!

[Heather]

Peep - Got ya! It is very easy to get me confused..

Bluemoon - Red Pyramid is good but you have to get use to the changing POV from the brother/sister. I like it though and hope to finish it by the weekend. Oh yeah, it is like 512 pages!!!

[[deleted user]]

Kourtni - We have almost the same ratings on all the books we have read. I might have to trust your judgment on Knife and skip it for now. Thinking it will be Jessica Darling or City of Bones next.

[Mindy]

Heather, I am not very far into The Red Pyramind. I can't seem to find time to read what I want, only school stuff but I like it so far. So far it seems promising. I wish I was a speed reader like Becca!

Sloppy Firsts!

[Traci]

aahhhh sorry! is there a Fever Series thread?! If not we definitely need one because I need to talk about things! A lot!

[Jackie]

I finally started with "Hush, Hush" last night and I am starting to love it.. Patch already got me :-)

I know! Dark haired bad boys who ride motorcycles *swoon*. I had some problems with the book, but Patch is a great character!

I will let you know how I like it when I'm done. Maybe it will get amazing in the next 10-20 pages and I just stopped too soon! :) And I loved City of Bones!

[Heather]

Has anyone read The Maze Runner? I finished about 2 months ago and it was very good; interesting set up as well and there is a second book coming out. Author's name escapes me right now.

[Jenny]

James Dashner

It's in my pile. I'm waiting till the second one is closer to release since someone said this one ends with some sort of a cliffhanger.

[Heather]

HA! Thanks Jenny!!! You are smart to wait till the next one is due out. BTW, do you know when the due date is?

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

It's on my tbr pile too. I didn't realize it was a series though. Is it a three book series?

[Susan]

I'm finally reading Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning and wow--what a great book! I dont know why it took me so long to read this but wow!!!!

[Susan]

Did you love it???

Bluemoon:
No, I'm right there with you. Only...I thought romance implied love. And I haven't seen any of that yet. Lots of sexual tension, but surely no love. I'm about to start Dreamfever. Don't ask me why. I'm kind of putting it off. Maybe I'm hoping that the story will develop a little better(does it?) and maybe someone will start to act like they care about more than just themselves(do they?).

[[deleted user]]

Susan - I knew you would like it because I think we have similar tastes.

Mandi - It's really hard to put this book into a specific genre. You've already read the first three books and don't really care for it?

[Heidi]

Paige wrote: "I'm reading 3 books: Magyk, which is at a standstill because I haven't gotten around to borrowing it from a friend, City of Ashes, which is really good so far, and The Golden Compass, which I haven..."

I just finished the Golden Compass and was not blown away by it. The whole religion thing just ticked me off.

[Heather]

Bluemoon - Thanks for the title. Will check out the library when it gets closer. I am keeping my eyes open for Mockingjay and I have little faith I'll get it right away. I am still waiting for Spirit Bound and the library is just now processing it!!!

Peep - I am dying to hear what you think about The Maze Runner.

I've noticed that it is so hard to find people that read YA books, especially the ones I'm reading..

[Lani]

I've read and loved The Maze Runner! It does have a cliffhanger ending but I thought James Daschner did a good job of wrapping some things up while still leaving a lot of questions for the next book. And I do believe it's a trilogy...

[Jackie]

I read the MI Triology earlier this year and I loved it! I read the three books within a week!

@Lani... I totally agree with you... Patch is a yummy dark charakter!

[Amanda]

Bluemoon wrote: "MANDI: Well I read a lot of romance novels when I was younger and it's not all about love, but I get your point. Sexual tension is very much implied in almost all romance novels and I think this is..."

Shannen, I don't usually read books like this, the sex and language give me the heebie-jeebies. I was curious enough to read book 4, which (once you get past that first bit) is a much better developed story than the first three. I'm not only wondering about the characters, but also what will happen in the story. I can't decide what kinds of feelings Barrons and Mac have for each other. There is obviously something there, since he helped Mac through her "healing process". What do you think?

[Becky]

I finished maze runner about a month ago and really enjoyed it. It was good from beginning to end....and that ending!!!! Wish the second book was out already.

[Becky]

I really enjoy the "end of the world" type books. I enjoyed the Life as we Know it seris and enjoyed that. Does anyone have any other suggestions or know of any other books along the same line?

[Amanda]

Okay, ladies! I just stayed up waaaay to late to finish Dreamfever. Now I am hooked. The last part really sucked me in. I have to stop thinking about it so I can SLEEP!

[[deleted user]]

Mandi - I think they have real feelings for each other but I'm horrible at guessing what is going to happen next in ANY book. ;)

[Traci]

I just finished it, too Mandi! I can't believe we have to wait so long..
I finally got to look at Moning's website (I've been waiting to finish the last book) and did you guys know there's a FeverCon in October?! too cool. unfortunately it's $350, so I'll just have to be there in spirit.

anyway. going to start Incarceron today. I've heard many mixed reviews on this so I'm not hugely excited for it.. oh well

[Heidi]

Done with Dreamfever, just started .

[Becky]

Bluemoon...thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to have to look at that one.

[Lani]

OK, I'm officially forgoing my re-read of the Twilight series to start Darkfever. I HAVE to know what all the hype is about!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Becky, I loved the first book in hat series. I read it when my daughter was still young, so it put me in panic mode. I did not like the other two books though.

I looked at my booklist and I've got a ton of fantasy books, some post-apocalyptic ones, zombie, dystopian, and other world ones - but no End of the World books :( (because I think you're looking for books that are about the world ending, and not after it has ended??)

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Becky, I found a list here:

http://janni.livejournal.com/331346.html

Pretty cool lj. She posted a list of post-apocalyptic books there. You HAVE to read the Hunger Games series The Hunger Games. That should be your next read :P

Also from there:

"Apocalyptic books (set during, but not so much after, the apocalypse):



(Might be part of Peeps series, if that is a series).

I haven't read any of those three though.

[Becky]

Peep...you are great..thanks so much for the link and suggestions...my list to read is that much longer on goodreads now.

[Jenny]

That's a pretty good post-apocalyptic list! Some of those look like straight dystopian more than apocalyptic, though I can see how the two would be connected.

Off the top of my head, some stuff that I didn't see on that list:
Cat's Cradle
Fledgling: Jason Steed
The Crying of Lot 49

Also, if you like the dystopian aspects of apocalyptic lit, you could also read stuff like:
Unwind
Brave New World
1984
Fahrenheit 451
The Maze Runner

And I agree that you must read The Hunger Games!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Yep Jenny, I never even thought about a difference in those until I started searching.

Becky I was checking out your shelf, you should try . My little ones love them. Those, and David Shannon's books like . The pics are creepy but for some reason my kids love them!

[Heidi]

I am starting on tonight. Not super excited about it. That video still haunts my dreams (or nightmares). p.s. Peep I just decided to buy Never After (for a whopping .6 cents plus shipping), since my library hold was taking way too long. I hope to get it next week sometimes.

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Heidi where did you buy it for that price!?!?? And are you sure it's the right one? I MUST have your sources! Oh, and I liked Rules of Attraction better than I liked Perfect Chemistry, even though Alex was the nicer guy of the bunch.

[Jaimie]

I picked up Perfect Chemistry but have refused to watch the video because I would probably be in the same boat as Heidi.

[Heidi]

Oh it's the right book, even though it was confusing, because there is another book that also just came out with that title. Anyhoo I googled it, and multiple places had used in good condition copies for less than a dollar. I bought it from Amazon Marketplace and it was $4.01 with shipping. Sweet!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Oh that is a good price. That sounds like about the same as BetterWorldBooks, which I've recently started using.

It's funny Heidi, especially when you find out why they call him Peter :P

[Heidi]

BetterWorldBooks is one of the Amazon merchants, but not the one I used. The one I used has a 100% user rating AND was the cheapest -- what are the odds of that?? I am super excited to read it Peep.

[[deleted user]]

While reading Perfect Chemistry, I pictured Alex Meraz, who played Paul in New Moon, as Alex Fuentes. YUM! Picture him, Heidi, not that horrible video.

[Christina]

I am reading Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel" and I am really liking it

[Rochelle]

Finished Sookie #5 and it was just as bad as Sookie #4. Maybe worse. Sookie is very whiny in this one and the ending was very unconvincing. Will I make it to part 6? Who knows?

Anyway, moving on to the Evernight series and the Immortals series

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Right now I am reading Stork by Wendy Delsol, its different and so far its not real bad. I have noticed a lot of YA I read starts out a bit slow then has great finishes so I am sticking to it.

Also reading Forget Her Nots by Amy Brecount White, which has me curious enough to keep going to see what happens.

Then I have Siren by Tricia Rayburn, sounds interesting so hopefully it is. :)

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Stormi, Stork is on my tbr list. I hadn't realized it had come out already.
