Is the Uglies series from Scott Westerfeld any good? I'm considering buying them but I don't usually like dystopian novels.

I'm definitely going to give her writing another try after this one, it was really good!

I want to get to her other series, too, I like her writing style.

I just can't do the waiting around for another series to finish up so not starting any of the ones I've managed to compile :)

Hilarious! She says the funniest things! Serious lol for me:)
ARC. Finally was able to get a copy onto my Kindle. The other copy kept crashing my son's iPad! So now I can finish reading this. It's a little odd, but so was the first one.

Yeah, I love it already and I'm still at chapter 4.
Dont worry, I already knew before reading it that It is going to make me cry.
Finished Asunder last night, AMAZING
Now I'm finally finishing
ARC which I got a while back but kept crashing my iPad. They made it available on Kindle, finally, so I am trying to finish it up and write my review.

Ugh, for the Covenant series I say that's a good idea, the endings have been killer!! Significance is done, but I'm like you; I need to finish up so many other series, I'm hesitant to start new ones. I start them and love them, then they get shoved aside and practically forgotten under the mass!! LOL

Holy crap, she cut it down that much and they're still that long?! May need to rethink that series, then. I'm over starting books that drone on incessantly for hundreds of pages; if it's over 350 pages, it's gotta be GREAT for me to read it from now on!!

Yeah the heroine in Unravel Me was such a turn-off for me with her slobbish attitude and self-absorbed personality, and the writing seriously lacked. Complete 180 degree difference with this one, so I'm looking forward to her others. I'll have to check out Make Me Yours soon!

I just finished reading Slammed and Point of Retreat. Wow such good books. I actually got upset at the end of Point of Retreat because there was no Epilogue I wanted to go on and on reading about them. I definitely recommend these books.
I am about to finish A Monster Calls and I have to say it is incredible! It's moving and intriguing and it makes you see o boys truth through his imagination!
It's dark and moving. Beautiful

after I finish [bookcover:Ten Tiny Breaths|..."Ugh! Really Erin? Hmm... well I can return it. I'm not wasting time on blah reads in 2013!
Desiree, I agree...Colleen Hoover is such a fantastic writer. I loved Lake and Will's story. But there is This Girl(Slammed #3) to look forward to. It's Slammed from Will's pov. Can't freakin wait!!!!!! Love him so much!!! Definite favorite books of all time!

Don't plan on investing over 350 pages worth of time into anything that doesn't grab my attention. Too many great prospects waiting in line for their turn :)

From Will's POV YAY! Can't wait I tell you LOL! When I saw that she had released a new book at the end of 2012 I ran thinking that somehow I had missed book 3 for Slammed, but no, it was Hopeless which was freaking AMAZING as well so no loss there, but still :P so keep an eye out for Slammed 3 this year :)

Annie wrote: "Wait so is This Girl, Slammed from Will's pov or is it a book that continues after PoR??"I'm thinking it's a nice combination Annie. She'll probably move the story forward and give us some back tracking from the other first books from Will's POV. That's what I'm thinking and hoping. I read some teasers on her website a while back when she first announced that she was writing it and what I read lead me to believe this. But who knows. Whatever it ends up being though, I'm sure it will blow us away and we'll be in LOVE like always with her books :)
Belyse wrote: "Is the Uglies series from Scott Westerfeld any good? I'm considering buying them but I don't usually like dystopian novels."They're okay. Not my favorite dystopian but not the worst either. But if you don't usually like Dystopian novels you might not like them.
Annie wrote: "Wait so is This Girl, Slammed from Will's pov or is it a book that continues after PoR??"I read a teaser and Will was telling Lake his story on their honeymoon. So it looks like flashbacks and current time from his POV
