-Divergent and Insurgent-Dead Is... series
-Hex Hall Trilogy
-The Hunger Game Trilogy
-Violet Wings(single book)
Dead Is and Hex Hall aren't really considered dystopian...
-Matched (though, I must warn you, the second one sucks)
-Uglies series
-everything Hannah said =D

Still good books, though... I just gave her my fav series, so.... I just gave her a list of books containing various genres for her to read and enjoy:))
Omg the second Matched book really wasn't even needed to be written! The first was good though and I have yet to read the third..
I like:- Eve (I've yet to read the follow up books)
- The Declaration (which is pretty good with two follow up books as well)
- The Pledge (Kimberly Derting I didn't like it too much but the story is good and the setting is good too.)
- Of course, the Hunger Games
The Declaration is about 15 year old Anna who lives in Grange Hall, a place for people who were not supposed to have children but had one anyways. The Longevity drug has allowed everyone to live longer and you have to 'opt-out' to have children; not take the longevity drug ever to have children. Anna is happy to become useful in society as she comes to the end of ehr stay in Grange Hall but mysterious Peter comes late in his life to Grange Hall and tells her her last name and information about her parents...ooooooo. Check it up!
That's so cool! My best friend is literally opposite the street but a highway separates us. -.- Can't really cross on my own. So I guess you guys go to the same school and everything?
Mmmhmm. And we're in pretty much the same classes, and her last name starts with the same letter as mine so we're usually close to each other in all those classes =). It works out pretty well. And that stinks that you can't see your friend without almost getting hit by cars (cuz that's what I'm picturing in my head) XD
and shes gonna move soon once her house sells:(((and we live in cauldasacs(how do u spell that?) so not really much of a street to cross:)
Cul-de-sacs, dear friend, and yeah. But the house-selling thing isn't going very well right now, so we don't know what we're gonna do =(
Well, pretty much hot everyday of the year, the roads have no rules, not much to do but we're getting there! I visited the US last summer (I assume that's where you guys live?) and it was totally cool!
-.- At least my other half (italy) is doing well! You guys are doing great too but I'm afraid China might take it all. As for winter, the lowest we get is about 27 degrees. Max. That gives us a reason to wear a cardigan for once!
I am a total freeze baby so I would LOVE having basically summer all year around!Umm, i travel! Ive gone to Colorado,Iowa,Illinois(twice),Wyoming,Nebraska,Indiana,Missouri,Kansas,Florida,Georgia,Virginia,Washington DC, West Virginia,etc...
thank you very much;)
I went to NY, Orlando, Washington DC and went on a cruise to the Bahamas! It was AMAZING but the flight was depressingly long; the longest I've been on so far. Had to backtrack a day going there and skipped a day going back! Had to transit in Seoul, South Korea for hours. Mainly just slept in the airport. Teehee.
Ive been to Orlando, Washington DC and Proud has gone to the Bahamas- well The Dominican Republic. Shes been on a ton of plane rides and ive never been on a plane. That sounds pretty cool:) New York is kind of like Chicago,Illinois but Chicago is cleaner.. Did I mention I love chicago?
My dream is to go to Europe- France, England, Whales:))
France is really nice! Paris is awesome. Don't worry, plane rides aren't ALL THAT. I have a big fear of them which is pretty silly cause I have to fly quite a bit.
WOAH WOAH WOAH WAIT! YOU HAVE GONE TO PARIS,FRANCE?!?!and im afraid of heights, but i would want to fly on a plane anyways.
Yeah, had to transit to get to italy so I took a few days there. It's pretty much like what the movies portray it and really amazing. My fav city! though not every window has a view of the Eiffel tower like the films! You should at least fly once! Some school trip or something?
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I ENVY YOU!!!!!!!! my friends and I have like planned our WHOLE trip after college and UR SOOOO LUCKY!
Oh thanks...it's awesome to go with friends as well! it's cooler if you raised the money yourself and manage to go with your friends. That's what I hope to do before uni as well!
oh hey, you're back. I can stay on a little longer. So only Paris you're planning or an all Europe thing?
well, our main thing is to go to paris and drive around seeing most of france. In the same trip we were gonna go to England too:)
I haven't been to the UK yet but I want to go to University there -.- don't know how that's going to work considering the weather there is terrible as well.
yup, it's reeeeaaaaallllll cool. All of it. Driving is the best cause they don't ven check passports when you cross the border. The Mediterranean lifestyle is awesome and you've got your little french farms or the exquisitely expensive Cannes and so on and so forth.
16 here for anything under 200cc but 18 for anything over. NO THANK YOU! I do not want to learn. Vietnam is crazy for their motorbikes, honestly!
yup! except we have the small ones like a Honda dream, nothing big like a ducati (though my dad would like one) or Harley-Davison.
Oh, look, I'm back and intruding on your convo! I've been to the Bahamas too, as well as a ton of other islands in the Carribean ;D. My great uncle has three motorcycles! My grandma rides them with him sometimes XD.
