Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Hey everyone! ! I am so excited for this one. I haven't read any of our books.

Sarah | 1726 comments I'm super excited, too! :D My first pick would be Phoenix Island by John Dixon .

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Okay, I did a bit of looking at what I can and can't get and revamped the order of my preference:

1.Love Is the Drug - can get (library), looks really good!!

2. The Body Electric - can get (buy) , would LOVE to read

3.Phoenix Island - would have to buy it and but would be willing to if no one else wants it

4.There Will Be Lies - would have to buy it, doesn't appeal to me

5.Love Like Crazy - can't get it

That one looks good! I added it to my TBR. I would have picked it but it's more expensive than my first two choices.

I can't wait, I bought Love Like Crazy by Megan Squires last week so this perfect!


message 7: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Oh, that is perfect!!

Cara (caramariew) | 366 comments I wouldn't mind reading the Nick Lake book, but I'm pretty flexible.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Perfect! So Coco can choose between The Body Electric and Love is the Drug and I will read the other one. Coco will also have the option to swap or drop if she doesn't want to read either.


message 10: by Coco (new)

Coco (cocozhang) I'll read Love is the Drug:)


message 11: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Perfect, so I will read The Body Electric. Song gets stuck in my head every time I see the cover.


message 12: by Coco (new)

Coco (cocozhang) I can't get hold of Love is the Drug... :/ I'm going to see if I can drop it and pick a different book.


message 13: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Can you get a hold of The Body Electric? Or perhaps one of the books available to swap? Check out the swapping thread HERE.


message 14: by Coco (new)

Coco (cocozhang) I'm sorry, I can't get hold of any of those books :/ Sorry for the inconvenience... unless you want to read Love is the Drug, I can say I've dropped the Body Electric instead.


message 15: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Thanks for the offer Coco. It was a tough choice.

I can get Love is the Drug free from the library and the synopsis interests me more BUT the reviews aren't as good and many people reported the narrative to be disjointed which I am so not in the mood for.

Where as The Body Electric will cost me $5 and the synopsis doesn't interest me as much BUT I have read other books by Revis and loved then and the reviews are better.

Gah, so hard!!

I think I will stick with The Body Electric by Beth Revis .

Love Like Crazy by Megan Squires
5 beautiful stars
This has more depth than most romance books. It was beautifully written with great quirky characters.


message 17: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments So glad you enjoyed it, Brittany. I wish I could get it.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

I bought mine on my kindle and it was under five dollars but that was back when I bought it so the price might have changed.


message 19: by Cara (new)

Cara (caramariew) | 366 comments My book is terrible. I'm going to finish it, but it's a struggle. I hope it gets better soon....


message 20: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1726 comments I finally got my book, hopefully I'll start reading it soon.

Aww, Cara, I hope so too :)


message 21: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I started mine yesterday. I am a few chapters in and so far it is pretty interesting.


message 22: by Cara (new)

Cara (caramariew) | 366 comments Ok, I finished There Will Be Lies by Nick Lake and I hated it. Seriously, I couldn't wait to be done with it and it is like 460 pages. I hope your books are better!


message 23: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1726 comments Finished Phoenix Island by John Dixon today. I really liked it- it got 4*.


message 24: by Coco (new)

Coco (cocozhang) Finished Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu , I loved it!! Enjoyed every page. 5 star for me. :)


message 25: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I finished my pick two days ago. The Body Electric by Beth Revis . It was good, but I enjoyed Revis's Across the Universe series more. I rated 3.5 stars.
