David wrote: "Lol I love when I get on a kick ;) Right now it's definitely dystopian, can't get enough!"I'm kinda on a kick of two different genres right now because sometimes there are only so many witches and crazy things I can handle. I would say I'm also on a dystopian kick as well =)

The ending wasn't what I expected, so I'm still trying to figure out my thoughts on that one.

I'm not quite sure what Animal Farm is considered. 1984 is definitely dystopian though. I just reread it this past year. Looking forward to Brave New World!

Aww cool!
Has anyone read
I just read a review on hello giggles that said it is so good it takes over you life until you finish it. I actually own this one and for whatever reason I keep putting it off. I think I might give it a go I just wanted to get opinions first =)

I remember really liking it when I read it, but its been a long time!

But the writing is excellent, the characters are well developed and overall I liked it :) You should definitely give it a shot!

It was really good!

David wrote: "Stephanie wrote: "Has anyone read I just read a review on hello giggles that said it is so good it takes over you life until you finish it. I actually own this one..."That is how I feel about it to.

Loved Hex Hall too - need to read School Spirits! As I noted yesterday I thought Before I Fall could have been a lot better -- to me it was too repetitive and no one to really care about. I will second the audiobook though because Sarah Drew is my girl!

There is a dodgeball incident in it that had me falling off the bed laughing!

I.Finished.It.
It was beautiful, the ending was just perfect. One of the best endings ever in a series! I'm going to be thinking on this one for awhile!

Oh yay that makes me happy! I'm currently reading

That's good to hear. I've heard mixed things about Beautiful Creatures, so I haven't started the series yet.

Yeah, I loved the series, but the third book was not my favorite. I was kind of nervous about reading the 4th and final book, because I didn't like the way things had gone...but the 4th book was really good! The entire thing--and the ending was beautiful, like I said!

for our buddy read, listening to
on audio and almost finished with my reread of
. My favorite character is still Siena from Fire Country!!! Love her spunk and determination!
I've been waiting 2 weeks for
to come in at my library and I can't go get it because I have my summer class in a half an hour and the library will close before I get out...UGH reader problems! But I'm planning on getting a bunch of books tomorrow anyone have any suggestions?!
Stephanie wrote: "I've been waiting 2 weeks for to come in at my library and I can't go get it because I have my summer class in a half an hour and the library will close before I get..."What type of books do you like (dystopian, paranormal, realistic, steam punk, etc...)
Heidi I've been reading a lot of paranormal and dystopian lately. I'm planning on stepping away. From paranormal for a while once I finish the beautiful creatures series.
YA Paranormal is actually my least favorite genre - the only YA paranormal series I liked was Hex Hall. Strangely I don't mind adult paranormal as much - I loved the first 8 or 9 Black Dagger Brotherhood books, as well as the Fever and Kate Daniels series. Anywho my favorite ever YA books are The Book Thief
On the Jellicoe Road
and The Knife of Never Letting Go
- have you read any of those?? If not, I don't think you can go wrong with them.

I love that series Elisa. I'm going to be sad to see it go. I have been waiting on the hold list at the library for a while.
