*YA Awesomeness* discussion

Any good books your reading right now? Come on, ya know you love the most recent installation of Rick Riordan's series.. Tell us about your book. Please?

Ooooh which book is that and what's it about? You've prob seen 10x already that I'm reading the kill order ;) ps if you haven't read the maze runner trilogy its REALLY good!! But I just got Outpost on my kindle - sequel to Enclave... Which is interesting cause I thought Enclave pretty much stopped and ended at a good spot... Didn't see where else it could go...

My friend read the Maze Runner way before anyone knew about it and I was like "eh, looks too much like The Hunger Games" but now I'm kind of interested. But then I've got about 20 books waiting at home so I really can't afford to get another >.<

Lol. Interesting... Cause I read Maze Runner before I read Hunger Games (both about 3 years ago) and I really don't think they're alike at all... I mean yeah, they're both dystopian, but thats kinda my thing ;) but if you read the MR synopsis you'll see they're nothing alike. Anyway, worth a peek once you get past your 20-book-to-read list :)

Right now I am reading Glimpse, a free book on my NOOK. Next is probably sherlock Holmes, but I've been procrastinating onthat one.

I FINISHED THE RISE OF NINE ^__^

Ps I'm about 75% of the way through Kill Order and I can't bring myself to finish it. It's getting kinda boring... Like those action movies with Sylvester Stallone where I blank out cause yeah, I get it, they fight... Just tell me who wins. Then when I come to I think Ive missed some important ploy point... But no, I haven't. What was I saying? Oh yeah, that's how Kill Order is turning out.

That said, I started reading Outpost, sequel to Enclave, and so far so good...

The Kill Order isn't amazingly wonderful? NOOOOOO O.O

It's so horribly disappointing!!!! Nothing like the other 3.

Aw :( Sadness has fallen upon me... I personally found the 3rd book a bit disappointing, though. I loved the first one, but after they left the maze, I felt like something was missing.

It's ALWAYS like that! Like in the third Hunger Games--without the Hunger Games, something just wasn't right. You fall in love with the original idea and then when there's a book that doesn't feature that it's kind of not the same series. Like with Vampire Academy, once Rose leaves the school it's kind of ...blah. In the second Divergent, now that they (view spoiler)[aren't in factions anymore (hide spoiler)] I'm struggling to read it. I wish authors could find ways to mix things up without ditching the whole premise (Uglies by Scott Westerfeld did this SO WELL!)

It was like that with the Inkheart series for me, the books weren't the same after the first. I found that Alex Rider as a YA series worked while changing things. Rangers Apprentice also works for me in that regard. I also found that the relatively unknown series that begins with Stoneheart is also able to adapt with its unique premise.

Recently I read one of the best YA novels I ever have read. It's called Genesis and it is a dystopian kind of sci-fi with a very good twist.

I'm currently reading 'The Scorch Trials' which is the 2nd book in The Maze Runner series. And, I'm also reading 'Anna Dressed in Blood'. :)

I really want to read Anna Dressed In Blood. Is it good?

Am currently reading Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford. A book about magic, love and choices that might alter their lives. It has been great so far. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. :)

You know what though? In the first uglies I really wanted it to be all about the pretty city... At least they did that in the 2nd one.

But I know what you mean.... Although I think I liked insurgent more than divergent... Not a thick enough plot til the end :)

I am currentlyr reading Gabriel's Hope by Lizzy Ford. So far, it has been a blast.

I am currently reading Through The Ever Night by Veronica Rossi, which is the second book in the Under the Never Sky trilogy. It and Under the Never Sky are SOOOOOOOOO good. I have not been able to put them done.

Now reading by Lizzy Ford.
