J.M. Johnson (jmjohnson) | 5 comments I'm reading Sunder by Tara Brown
Tara Brown has become my go-to author when I am looking for a great read that I can get lost in and laugh along the wild ride.

So I just went to Chapters and bought 12 books. TWELVE. And now I don't know what to read next.
Options:
-Legend by Marie Lu
-Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
-The Maze Runner by James Dashner (I bought the box set)
-Panic by Lauren Oliver
-Uninvited by Sophie Jordan
-Half Bad by Sally Green

And I'm currently reading Fangirl, which I'll probably finish today.

Well, all the ones I read on that list are all good. But I'd start with Legend.

Wendi Lee (wendimlee) | 11 comments Okay, you've convinced me. Fangirl has been on my to-read list for awhile, now I really need to read it!

J.M. Johnson (jmjohnson) | 5 comments I might have to read it too. I like the books that keep your brain going after they're read.

Daph | 2 comments Ooh. I read Fangirl last week and was going to move on to Attachments. I started Goldfinch instead.


OneFootInHellAlready (one-foot-in-hell-already) | 9 comments I'm reading pretties by Scott westerfield at the moment... Distopian isn't really my cup of tea.


message 16: by Wendi (new)

Wendi Lee (wendimlee) | 11 comments I liked Uglies better than Pretties. I never did get around to Specials...

I've been eyeing the Uglies series/trilogy for years now, haven't picked it up yet because I can't decide if I'd like it or not. I've just recently been introduced to dystopian


OneFootInHellAlready (one-foot-in-hell-already) | 9 comments I have seen so many people saying "i have read the hunger games, I love dystopian!" It just... Irritates me.
Although Uglies is okay, I wouldn't say it is the best dystopian in the world, that's chaos walking, but it's fun for what it is.


message 19: by Wendi (new)

Wendi Lee (wendimlee) | 11 comments I'd never heard of Chaos Walking before but will check it out. Anyone read Enclave? I thought it was good, definitely didn't go the way I thought it would.


message 20: by Wendi (new)

Wendi Lee (wendimlee) | 11 comments Ok, just read Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved. Anyone else read it? I wrote a review, but then I thought about it, and I'm still unsure what I think about it.


OneFootInHellAlready (one-foot-in-hell-already) | 9 comments I just finished legend. I really enjoyed it, but I'm waiting to start prodigy after CoHF cuz I will have a book hangover and I'll need something interesting to pick me back up. I don't know what to read now though... I don't have time to re read tmi.

Right now I'm reading Deviants (Dust Chronicles) book one by Maureen McGowan... I think most who love the book is fantastic..

the storyline is:
In Glory's world, different means deviant—and dead.

In a post-apocalyptic world, where the earth is buried by asteroid dust that’s mutated the DNA of some humans, an orphaned sixteen-year-old, Glory, must hide and protect her younger brother. If their Deviant abilities are discovered, they’ll be expunged—kicked out of the dome to be tortured and killed by the Shredders. Glory would give anything to get rid of her unique ability to kill with her emotions, especially when Cal, the boy she’s always liked, becomes a spy for the authorities. But when her brother is discovered, and she learns their father, who was expunged for killing their mother, is still alive, she must escape the domed city that’s been her entire world.
