Daniel (pickyreader1) | 1925 comments YES FOR UNWIND!
Seriously though guys, the best book of that series is the last one.
Undivided is one of the best books I read in 2014.
There's a buddy read thread already up for Undivided, so you guys can use that if you wish.
I'd love to know what you all think- it's one of my favourite dystopian series out there.
Connor, Risa, Lev... I LOVE ALL OF THEM.

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Finishing up The Singer (Irin Chronicles, #2) by Elizabeth Hunter - what a series! Zachary Webber narrates on audio and he is phenomenal of course, but these characters, the plot, the suspense - wow! The last book promises to be equally amazing!

Daniel (pickyreader1) | 1925 comments Just finished Taken (Taken, #1) by Erin Bowman .
Meh. Nothing was wrong with it but it didn't really pull me in. I have read a lot of dystopias so it takes a lot to really grab me. The storyline was not original enough, nor were the characters interesting enough.
Don't think I'll read the next book.

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments Hmm then I may put that next on my list, I'll reread unwind :)

Harlee | 1583 comments Throne of Glass, yesssss! And I STILL need to read Raven Boys lol. It's been on my tbr list forever.


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Harlee @Alison if and when you both read The Raven Boys if you want to do a buddy read let me know as its sitting on my shelf!

message 12966: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I just started Until the End of the World (Until the End of the World #1) by Sarah Lyons Fleming and it's ok, good PA zombie book done slightly better than Red Hill (Red Hill, #1) by Jamie McGuire . End of the World is a bit more clever without taking itself too seriously.

It was one of those books that stayed on my tbr list for eeeeeever, always getting cut in line for other things. Then my gf got books 1 and 2 from the library and they just stole all of my attention.


message 12971: by Alison (new)

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments Woot woot that sounds like a plan rose. I bought the books for my birthday in January but decided to wait to read them till the fourth book comes out but I'll read them when ever y'all want. Buddy reads r da bomb :)

All of you that want to read End of Days, you can sign up for a trial of Kindle Unlimited, you get the first month free. You can have 10 books at a time on your Kindle from the KU program. There is a pretty good selection! Just a suggestion.

Here's the YA selection:

message 12977: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie I should say for all you Unwind fans (also, YAY THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OF US) I just finished reading Ashfall and if you haven't read this book YOU NEED TO. It's the first in a trilogy and it's quickly shaping up to be a three-way tie of my favorite dystopian series alongside Hunger Games and Unwind. It was PHENOMENAL.


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Alison sweet! I only have books 1 and 2 of The Raven Boys, still need to get book 3!

Ohmygosh, me three, me three!! I started and it's FABULOUS so far! LOVE Julia Whelan as Adele and Will Damron as Tristan. I'm on Chapter 5. But I have to "step away from the book" now and go to work. :(

Yes the audiobooks for The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns, #1) by Rae Carson are really great. I loved the trilogy and the audios. I'm a total audio fanatic!

Sky (mikotea) | 276 comments hm, never thought about trying audiobooks during a reading slump. *runs off to check library sites*


message 12993: by Alison (new)

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments Yea I never thought I would like it. But I actualky really love it. And I love with scribd that I can either read it or listen to it


message 12994: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (pickyreader1) | 1925 comments I haven't REALLY liked a book in two months. And I don't really know where to turn at this point.
The only books I have access to right now which give me SOME hope are
End of Days (Penryn and the End of Days, #3) by Susan Ee Rot and Ruin (Benny Imura, #1) by Jonathan Maberry Fire & Flood (Fire & Flood, #1) by Victoria Scott The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy, #1) by Jennifer A. Nielsen ...
Hope one of these gets me out of my slump. Reading's become a bit of a chore recently, and that's never a good thing.


message 12995: by Sky (new)

Sky (mikotea) | 276 comments I got super excited because the first audiobook that popped up was Aristotle and Dante, so I borrowed it, and started listening to it. But that voice, I don't know if I can listen to it. So just not what imagine.


message 12996: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments Rot & Ruin and False Price are both solid reads IMO

AMEN DANIEL! Amen!

Undivided was THEE book of 2014 for me. It was the book above all books of that year. The perfect ending to the Unwind Dystology... Did you hear about Unbound?

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments I just finished A Great and Terrible Beauty and I'm moving on to Skandal, which is the sequel to Sekret. A little slow so far.
