Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments So far it isn't really surprising :P. I can't really explain it, I just hope it does get better, because so far it is just going to be an okay book.

I hope she makes it a series. I keep telling her I'm rooting for that and if she needs me to press someone, i will! LOL!

Tracy | 823 comments I am listening to Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie and Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver and reading Tribulation (Rapture Trilogy, #2) by Phillip W. Simpson waiting to see if Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2) by Laini Taylor will be the next BOM.

Wow Delirium and Matched at the same time, that should be interesting. Curious to see which one you prefer :)

It is interesting David. I have to really focus in the beginning to know which one I am reading. They are both opposite yet alike.

Right now I am farther along with Matched than I am with Delirium so it's hard to know which I like better right now.

I liked both Matched and Delirium, but Delirium was better to me. I honestly didn't like Matched that much when I read it the first time until about halfway through.

Ok, I absolutely LOVED The Medusa Girls series! They were such fun reads, each only took me about 2 1/2 hours!

Had enough time to read What's Left of Me (The Hybrid Chronicles, #1) by Kat Zhang , which is a completely new kind of dystopian that I've read! Really good and worth the read!

I'm only 8% in (reading it right now) but it starts fast and then slows a bit, so the pacing is good :) I think I'll really like it!

Awww, just finished reading the short stories you have in Furthermore An Anthology by Rebekah Campbell , David.

Tawni was a favorite of mine throughout the Dwellers trilogy so loved her story! But, ohmygosh... the Year Zero story had me completely enthralled and I forgot I was reading a short story, so when it ended I was surprised!

Prequel to Moon Dwellers please? Pretty please!? ;-). Hahaha...

I need to read Stephanie's Setti stories next and then jump into Rebekah's book so I can read her short stories, and then Karen's and Amber's books... So many books, so little time!

Tracy, I loved Rapture. Is Tribulation just as good? I have it on my TBR but haven't cracked it open yet.

Right now I'm reading Slow Boat to Purgatory by Vernon Baker

I haven't finished Tribulation yet Dale but it isn't as good as Rapture. I am liking Tribulation but it just isn't Rapture. I loved loved loved Rapture.

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments I've been kind of in a reading slump lately, so I'm still reading The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes . After that, I'll be reading Grasping at Eternity (The Kindrily, #1) by Karen Amanda Hooper too!

I'm really liking Moon Dwellers so far, though, so it looks like Furthermore An Anthology by Rebekah Campbell will have to be added to my list too!
