I just finished Matched! Now I need to get my hands on Crossed!! I pick Hallowland for Jeni
. It was my first experience with a Zombie book and I loved it!My next five are:
I don't usually go for zombie books (unless the author is someone I love) but I read one recently that really wowed me: ROT AND RUIN by Jonathan Maberry. I couldn't stop reading and was drawn into all the characters. This wasn't about destruction and death but about the struggle to keep family together and do the right thing. I'm eager to read the next one which is already out in hardback.

I just ordered it from the library, and also GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS, #@ INTO THE UNIVERSE and a few other books I've read comments about on Goodreads. Love Goodreads!!! (Now if a few people would order my March mystery, BURIED, which is lighter than more YA but I hope readers love it).

Nicoletta wrote: "i pick and my 5 are
[boo..."Wait, I'm confused, it is showing your pick for me as "The Sky is Everywhere" but that is not in my five. Was there a link mix-up?

so let me get this straight. you pick 5 books and i have to pick which book you get to read out of your 5 picks. then i have to list 5 books i want to read and the next person picks for me right?
So I recently read Shadow of the Sun and it is AMAZING, so I'm gonna pick that one.For me I think I'm gonna go with:
yes. but you have to have read the book you're suggesting.
Sabrina wrote: "so let me get this straight. you pick 5 books and i have to pick which book you get to read out of your 5 picks. then i have to list 5 books i want to read and the next person picks for me right?"That is correct. Usually you would recommend a book you liked or have already read from the list of 5's

. It was my first "novel in verse" and the format took some getting used to, but overall I was won over by the beautiful pictures the author created with her words and the honest emotions she imparted to her characters.Unfortunately, I have not read any of Bethany's picks, so I will be waiting for my next turn.
So, we've stalled again. Can anyone go?
I'll list a different five, maybe these will be more familiar...
