I really should have read this earlier -- I can see how so many dystopians.. The Hunger Games, Divergent, Delirium, Matched, etc., could be inspired by this story.

This one is .... slow

I love the short mini chapters within a chapter -- does he do this in The Maze Runner too?

I never want this one to end!!!

I'm hooked...

Is there a way for me to notify only these emails where Goodreads announces to me when a book is released?

I hate to say it -- because I love Dee Henderson books -- but GEEZ, this is BORING!

SO thrilled to be reading PARASITE by Mira Grant -- I absolutely adore her books!!!!

These guys are such nerds -- love it!

I don't think I'll be able to finish this. What is WRONG with the women in this subgenre, begging and pleading to be with abusive, rapists? I don't get it -- is that supposed to be sexy?

Is part of the appeal of this type of books that the *lusty* scenes are just over the top ridiculous? I don't get it. This woman wants to get back at her husband, so she plans to have an affair with a younger man. Next thing we know, she's letting a stranger take off her underwear IN PUBLIC, and she's flashing and *jiggling* her bare breasts IN A COFFEE SHOP. To a stranger. WTF?!

Is this one based on the Amanda Knox story -- anyone know?

This just keeps getting worse. She fully believes money and materialism are the ultimate goal for Christians, I think. And she made some snotty comment about how she donates $20,000 a month to orphanages every month -- but God appreciates your little $10 but wants you to give more. She then continues to remind us how wealthy she is -- over and OVER and over. UGH!

this was a recommendation .. reviews are high .. but ick! so far i've been 'enlightened' that her tithe is a 7 digit figure, because she's been blessed and risen to the position of a multi-millionaire. but, she wouldn't donate a bicycle to a child because the charity wouldn't let her write "from Jesus" on the tag? i guess in this prosperity gospel, materialism, fame, and wealth are fruits of the spirit?

"I want to pick you up and carry you to my room and slam into you until you scream my name over and over again as you shatter to pieces underneath me." -- this is NOT romantic!

OMG, WTF am I reading right now?
Dude says, oh, don't worry. I have some bras and panties some other women left behind - you can wear them. UM?!

His eyes darkened until they were black with hunger... this is supposed to be sexy?

This Logan is kinda irritating. Oh here's my hot BFF, who seems to think he's my father. Ick.

Wah, we are so poor - all we have is apples and bread and chicken and sweet tea and .... uhh....

lol - hold up -- THIS is his secret?!

Lemon couscous with broccoli -- sounds YUMMY!

So, I'm supposed to be looking for a guy who seems kinda like a jerk and fall in love with him, and then forgive him when I find out he was lying to me about another woman? <-- after watching JANE EYRE and being told it will help her learn to find a good man. LOL. This book is SO cute!

Was I seriously setting myself up for heartbreak because I picked John Grisham over Jane Austin? <-- best quote EVER

PSYCHO!

SUPER excited to be reading a galley of GROUNDED IN CHICAGO by Neta Jackson!!!!
