Reality BE GONE!!! discussion

What book are you guys reading to escape reality?? I'm currently reading Shiver, which isn't really an escape since it takes place in Minnesota, but there is enough of a fantasy aspect to still distract me from the place I live!!

I live in Minnesota! I've never read Shiver but since it is in my home state it probably wouldn't feel like an escape to me xD. I'm currently reading Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson which is feeling like an adventure to me. I never do anything but watch netflix and sleep and in the book the main character, Emily, has a list of things to do that was left by her friend Sloane after she disappeared. I started it on July 28th and I am already after page 100, which usually takes a few weeks of reading a couple pages every few days. I never have motivation to read but this book is so good so far I just love it.

I am reading Instinct (Chronicles of Nick) but it isn't helping me escape too much. Hope the next book does.

Alex, that sounds really similar to paper towns! Glad you found a book you actually enjoy though!!

Smiling, that's too bad! Whats next on your reading list? Hopefully it has a better world for you to get lost in!

i'm reading ACOTAR and lol i'm still on the 2nd chapter.

I saw that one at the library yesterday and almost picked it up! You'll have to let me know what you think of it.

yeah, I heard really good stuff, and i'm into retellings, so hopefully it's great!

If you like retellings you should look into Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge. It's on my tbr list and I've heard it's a unique version of little red riding hood.

I actually got that one, but a lot of people said it was super similar to cruel beauty, and I read cruel beauty already.

Oh wow, so the same author basically wrote the same story twice? Plus the cover is almost identical. What did you think of Cruel Beauty?

I actually though cruel beauty was pretty good. I gave it a five stars.

I plan on reading An Ember in The Smoke And Ashes book

can you send me the link?

oh, never mind, I got it

I also live in Minnesota!

lol

I live in Idaho and I'm writing my own stories that takes me away from REALITY.

I live in mississauga ^_^

Missa-what?

miss-iss-aaaa-ga

What is that?

*facepalm* it's a city in canada

OH!!! I didn't know that! Lol! *Sheepish Smile* Do you like Canada?

it's okay, just boring. still I was born here so I love it :)

I get it. I have moved all around the US and love it. Though I would LOVE to travel Europe.

yeah, my brother's been to Europe, spain, and some other countries. one day i'm gonna go travel with him.

Damn! I would love to go to Spain. I REALLY want to travel to Greece and Russia and Italy. Also Germany. I have received letters to go and travel some of these places with a program I was put into somehow. But I never got to ho because not enough money and mom got worried that something bad would happen. By now I gave up on going and those crushed dreams. Hopefully when I get older I will travel there.

yeah, that'd be cool. I want to go to japan. maybe you'll get to go later though, in university I think you can take a co-op course which allows you to learn in different countries.

That would be SO cool. Gah! I would chop of my left hand to go to any place over seas.

yeah :) so you haven't gone overseas?

No but my parents have. Mom has been to Germany Dad has been to many more.

What does your dad do? If you don't mind me asking?

ooh I though you traveled a lot. only in US then?

Yeah only in the US.

nice ^_^ I still have to travel over canada. we always go to different countries.

That sounds so awesome! I would love to just travel everywhere! And hopefully I will!

We could become a group who travels the world called the traveling book nerds. ;P

Lol! That would be awesome! In five years. We should all meet up (name a place) then just travel for a whole summer all over the place. That's what me and my sister plan on doing, some time after we graduate, spend the whole summer traveling though Europe!

yeah, we should! but in 1 or 2 years i'm hopefully already gonna be traveling with my brother :)

Where?

Lol. We should that would be fun. Or meet up in some country over seas.

Yup! Sounds like a plan! So what country?

Idk

japan, europe, spain, turkey, france, etc.

thats where I'll hopefully go with my brother

France! Underneath the Eiffel Tower at noon! ;P

Perfect! How will I know who to look for. I think we will all need some kind of tell. Like wear a red hat or something.

We should do something from a favorite book we all have read. Like in the hunger games with the mockingjay symbol.

Okay, what book have we all read?

Ummmm.......maximum ride?
