! YA Heroines ! discussion

I am reading Freak of Nature by Julia Crane. I love it and I can't wait to read the second installment of the series.

I've seen that book around quite a few times. I'm going to have to check it out some time.

I finished ! It's one of those books where I told myself I would only read for five more minutes because I need study, but somehow those five minutes turned into five more, then five more, until eventually I got to the end. Since it's a BOTM for March, I would definitely recommend people in this group reading it. I'll warn you, it's pretty brutal, and not only because it's the zombie apocalypse but because the main character has depression.

Okay, I was thinking about reading this, but I was worried that it was going to be one of those hard-core horror books. Is it like that, or just really violent?

What do you mean by hard-core horror?

Like really, really scary.

I didn't find it to be very scary (at least, not for me because I don't get scared easily by books). It was quite gruesome in several parts and it reminds me of a horror movie. The scariest parts had to do when the characters actually came face to face with zombies, which was probably three times (with one of those being a much longer part). I think you should give it a try.

Thanks for your help, I might give it a try.

Heard a lot about Anna and the French Kiss so thought about giving it a try. Its a stand alone I suppose . This is the first stand alone am reading then. Lol

Oh really! Thanks for informing :)

I've read the sequel to The Forest of Hands and Teeth and I can get why you wouldn't get into it. It annoyed me how it takes place several years later after the first one and with the daughter. I still liked it, but it wasn't as good as the first one.

Yes, they are answered. (view spoiler)[I can't remember about Jed, but I remember there being at least one person still there, who the daughter meets. I don't know if I should tell you why she's had a child without Travis. That's actually an important part of the book. (hide spoiler)]

I'm going to have the read that again too. It's been awhile since I've read it, so I can't remember much.

Is the 'horror' level of This Is Not a Test more or less like The Forest Of Hands and Teeth, Kaitlin???

Oh, man, I can't really tell. I think The Forest of Hands and Teeth has more actual fighting against the zombies, but This is Not a Test isn't any scarier than it. For most of the book, the characters had barricaded themselves inside their school, and tried to figure out how to live through the apocalypse.

I don't really read many 'zombie' books but I'd like to give it a try.

I've set a goal for myself to finish all of these by Tuesday.

Ok I just finished it was amazing kept me guess right to the end I have no clue what I'm going to read now

@Elizabeth Oh read Anna and the French kiss. You can finish it in hours. It'd be a good break for you from those cliffhangers. ;)

Ok but you really need to read the series I just finished it has the good cliffhanger in them

The bloodline series. Right? Am planning to get them. There are so many books in my to read. Want to finish em all.

I know the feeling trust me but the bloodline series and VA series is so awesome they don't leave you needing tissues at the end trust me

Going to re-read The Hunger Games at camp. It will be completely awesome like the first time.

Thank god! I'll surely read em then. I had enough of crying and sadness all over my face. Phew!! Lol :D

Most of the book I was smiling or saying omg telling Sydney to get a clue lol

That sounds fun :)

Just don't read bloodline first

Ok then which one first? Btw I have the Iron Fey series. Am planning to start it tomorrow or day after tomorrow most probably.

I have them all too and the iron knight too which was really good I think you will like the they are diffrent and after reading them I had to read a midnight summers dream puck is so funny

Read the VA series before Bloodlines first.

Freak of Nature. Not sure how I feel about it yet!

Yes definetly otherwise you will be confused and not get to know some of the characters that make the story what it is

Ohk thanks Kaitlin and Elizabeth. :) I'll surely read them and VA first :)

I've found out that my spark for that series has kind of fizzled out, but I still enjoy the Greek and Roman spin of series the Rick Riordan has written.

currently reading harry potter series (again) have any of you read the Celestra series???

Iron King

which is amazing so far!!!
Also which is still great but not as good as I hoped it to be :)

The Mortal Instruments Series

Just finished Divergent and Insurgent this week.
Next on my list are Legend and The Assassin s Curse

I'm hoping that I can read that soon. My school library was closed today because it was the first day of the trimester, so it was restricted for textbook checkouts. I also want to start Graceling again.

Anyway, I'm currently reading The Book Thief (for the second time).

I'm reading the companion to the Graceling
