If you didn't like Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie , you won't like the sequels. The first book was the best of the group, I thought. The next one, Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie is kind of a big long camping trip, a big adventure, and the last one Reached (Matched, #3) by Ally Condie is the rebuilding after a war when the main characters are mainly separated. You'll be bored by the last one especially if you didn't like the first.

Wow, seriously Tay? I haven't even read it once. Still on hold with the library. Sometimes it sucks that the library lets you keep a book for 21 days.

Is she as funny in person as she is in her Twitter feed? She's got that biting wit that comes out of nowhere and always makes me laugh. So refreshing!

I'm so glad you liked Out of the Easy! I've had that on my TBR for a while!


message 2864: by Mara (new)

Mara (maraanne) It really surprised me; I wasn't expecting to like it at all, but Josie was just too awesome, and all of the characters were so different and unique. One of the few "inspirational" reads I actually really enjoyed.

Wake wasn't horrible. Its a short read. Keeps you thinking about how certain things happen but you never find out! The plot was really hard to follow. Theres a cute romance between the two main characters and I think thats the only reason I finished it, to see what happened with the relationship .

Finished Fragments (Partials, #2) by Dan Wells today, it was sooo good! Loved it!

Also read Zom-B (Zom-B, #1) by Darren Shan today and just...wow! It took me by total surprise! There are a couple of huge twists at the end that I did not see coming, which is why I gave it 4 stars, although I wouldn't say I loved it. It was a completely different reading experience--it wasn't a true "zombie" book until the last 40 pages or so, which were very gruesome. It was more about this kid named "B" dealing with his very abusive and racist father. I'm going to be thinking about this book for awhile!

Finishing up This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers for a group read, then starting my buddy read of Hunger (Gone, #2) by Michael Grant tomorrow.

I'm coming down off of my book "high" of Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3) by Cassandra Clare

How is This Is Not A Test? I think I have that one on my Nook! I still haven't finished Clockwork Princess, I was planning on it tonight, but I really wasn't in the mood for the "heavy" tonight. I finished The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles, #1) by Kady Cross , a 4 star read, I really liked it! Then I took a good long soak in the tub! So glad its my weekend!

I haven't started liking it yet. I'm half finished. Since its such a short book, I'll finish, but if it was longer, I may have DNF'd this one. Of course, we have been reading spectacular books back to back lately on our buddy reads so maybe I'm just spoiled!
