Shut Up & Read discussion

I love those, as well. I also love and .

I haven't read this but my son did, and he really liked it:

(He's only 11 but he reads at a young adult level. Most of the YA books I read I hand off to him when I'm done.)

This one would be adult:

I read this and liked it. Completely different than Twilight :)

Here's another one I haven't read yet, but it sounds good. It's on my to-read list :)

I loved Across the Universe!

is a dystopian book and I heard this book is to be in the making of a movie and Fox is looking into doing it! I'm excited to read it even more!

This looks really good!!

I didn't realize that The Chemical Garden books were dystopian. I'll have to check them out.

A few months ago, I read which was pretty good.

I will have to add it to my list looks interesting

It wasn't my *favorite* book I read this year, but the dialogue is amazing. So is the fact that Feed was written quite a while ago, yet the technology it describes is so current.

Be warned, though. This is a YA book, but the language is very strong.

Has anyone read ? It definitely was more realistic than a lot of them out there.

It's a really good series so far, the second instalment 'Fever' comes out in Feb. You have to check them out!

I love the name!

we are all forgetting Enclave! Oh my god that book is AMAZING. awaken was really good. i loved how sweet it was. you can also check out Matched and it's sequel crossed.. oh and the Uglies Series is the absolute best series i have ever read. every single Uglies book was perfect. even the spinoff, extras. the host is so great as well and i cant wait for the movie. Saoirse ronan is the actress playing melanie. Oh and guys you cannot forget to read Unwind.. i NEVER cry in a book and this book made me ball like a baby. i started reading across the universe and Yawn... could not hold my attention cause all the descriptive terms and technology was just too hard to grasp. ooo oohh and the forest of hands and teeth is sorta a zombie book but still has that dystopian feel to it.. very worth checking out... did i mention that i LOVE any and all Dystopian books? Wither was good but i cant wait till the next one comes out.

ohh i thought of more. The Tryelle Trilogy by amanda hocking is pretty good. it just got picked up by a publisher but it was a good read.

Birthmarked if you like babies, which i suppose you would or you would be a souless zombie, this is one for u

wow those look like some great books

Tana wrote: "wow those look like some great books"

ditto Tana.. i wasnt let down much.

I loved Divergent. I loved Hunger Games. I loved Host. Delirium was good and I haven't read the others.

Tt this book is amazing!
I didn't know about Fox thinking of making it into a movie - that's sweet!

Love this trilogy...

Another amazing series.


I believe these 3 books are dystopian =) I like em all

Yes! Im glad your liking it it's amazing! Hopefully Fox picks this movie up before someone else does.

Last year, I read which, at first, doesn't sound like a dystopian book, but certainly becomes one later on. It was a fascinating read mostly because it was written six or seven years ago, but the author really understood where technology was heading.

Warning, though. This was marketed as a YA book; however, the language is very strong.

Wow Sarah you listed all the books I've loved reading. The only one I have not read is Enclave, but it is on my TBR list. Anyone who has not read Forest of Hands and Teeth, get on it!!! that series was awesome......as was the Uglies series (even though I was disappointed with how it turned out in the end, it made sense and I loved the series anyway).

Twana, i think u just became my new best friend. haha... i find myself reading only dystopian books. i have read a few more since i posted this that you definately have to read if you havent yet. Blood Red Road was amazing and i just finished legend last week and it was divine!

Wow thanks sarah. I have blood red road and legend on my to read lists and I'll probably hit up those before the next books come out. i don't want to be interupted during series reads, but I am a multi-tasker too i am sure I can hanle it :)

If you've read Legend, you should enter our Book of the Month contest:

Have any of you read 1984 by George Orwell? Awesome.

I really want to read that one,

I've read 1984, but it's been a few years :).... I've heard Feed was good, too.

I have so many dystopian books I want to read (Divergent, Matched, Legend, Maze Runner)... I can't wait until I actually can buy the books and read them lol

I read 1984. It was really good! It really showed the problem during 1984... lol, at least the prediction. :D

if you liked 1984 try We - it's the book that Orwell borrowed from (heavily) for 1984

Not sure if anyone saw this yet, but today's Kindle Daily Deal features five different YA dystopian novels for $1.99 each.

Thanks Michelle, I don't have a Kindle but I was able to get a few of these for $2.99 at B&N for my Nook! :-)

Thanks Michelle...I just got $10 Amazon gift card and now I know what I'm spending it on :D

I only ended up buying one of them, but it was one that had been on my wish list for a while

Sheri wrote: "I only ended up buying one of them, but it was one that had been on my wish list for a while "

I *was* only going to buy one, but I ended up buying all of them :P My excuse is that I can give them to my daughter and loan them to my daughter's friend, lol. The Scorpio Races looked the best to me, though. A few of the others might be too young for my tastes.

Hmmm...that's actually a good idea. I should see if my son is interested in any of them while they are still on sale.

I love this book. Maggie says its not really a distopian book but more like a world set in another time and another place where magical horses can pop out of the ocean. but none the less it is one of my faves and Maggie is my favorite author. ever..
