Would everyone else be interested in doing another group read? Maybe we can select from books we feel are somewhat similar to the Hunger Games. Or not even at all. Let me know what anyone thinks so maybe we can set up another group read for the future.

Nicolle Sure that would be great...I think we need to get more members though...

Yeah I agree, I've been sending invites like crazy so hopefully things pick up. Any suggestions for books you would be interested in reading?


message 4: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle I'll think about it.

Nicolle I also am going to read Catching Fire after I've moved house (on friday) as I can't wait to see what happened. I didn't read it before because I have no money to buy and could never find in library and didnt want to pay to reserve but I have a cunning plan...I will use my brother's library card (as under 16 don't pay for reservations) HEHEHEHEH

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. He has no recollection of his parents, his home, or how he got where he is. His memory is black. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade, a large expanse enclosed by stone walls.
Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning, for as long as they could remember, the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night, they’ve closed tight. Every thirty days a new boy is delivered in the lift. And no one wants to be stuck in the maze after dark.
The Gladers were expecting Thomas’s arrival. But the next day, a girl arrives in the lift—the first girl ever to arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. The Gladers have always been convinced that if they can solve the maze that surrounds the Glade, they might be able to find their way home . . . wherever that may be. But it’s looking more and more as if the maze is unsolvable.
And something about the girl’s arrival is starting to make Thomas feel different. Something is telling him that he just might have some answers—if he can only find a way to retrieve the dark secrets locked within his own mind.

Sounds interesting!


message 10: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle Yes it does. Could we start to read it in about 2 weeks (as I am moving house on friday and have abusy week ahead of me so won't have time to get hold of it.) or we could read it after we have read mockingjay.

Yeah maybe we should set it up as an October Group Read? Giving everyone a chance to get a copy of Mockingjay and a chance to finish it.


message 12: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle Yes, that is a good idea :D Plus it is my b'day in sept and i can ask for it...this is a great plan :P
