Zaz | 2969 comments As we seem to have similar ratings, I'm curious to see how you'll like Maze Runner (it didn't work for me, but there were some interesting parts).

You have several great books in your plan, so you'll have fun with them. I'll also read Mistborn 1 (and probably Legion) and Vampire Academy for the challenge.

Ryan Olson (breathingthoughts) Zaz, I'll definitely let you know what I think after I read the Maze Runner. I really like the movies and so I'm guessing that I would like the book.

I just finished Mistborn 1. You DEFINITELY need to read it :) We have a lot of similar books on our lists!

Zaz | 2969 comments Yes, I know, Mistborn is popular but the books are huge! I enjoyed the previous books I read by Sanderson, so I suppose Mistborn will be nice too.

For Maze, I found the movie different from the book. They removed the annoying things, so I found it more entertaining :) I haven't seen the 2nd movie but I'll do as I don't think I'll continue the books.
