I just finished Ship Breaker and it was fantastic! I loved the adventure and the dystopian world that was built!

Bethany | 578 comments I already chose for myself :) the wait was too long. I read What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen , which was really wonderful. I am currently reading Wolfskin (The Light Isles, #1) by Juliet Marillier

Edwin, from your earlier post, the only books I've read were Nightshade, Iron king and Incarceron. I read a sample of Anna dressed in blood and it sounded like it was gonna be a good one. I've also heard really good thing about Hold me closer, Necromancer. But, out of the ones I've read I would suggest Nightshade (Nightshade, #1) by Andrea Cremer


message 418: by Theo (new)

Theo Bethany, do you want to post a new five, since it has been awhile and you've been reading them. Maybe this time, someone will be able to choose something. I had to do that in September because I ended up reading my five before anyone chose for me.

Bethany | 578 comments I think I'll wait until I have a new five...I don't have much to read at the moment. Thanks though:)
