YA Apocalyptic and Dystopian Fiction discussion

I gotta read those!!

Those books are freaking amazing! Enjoy Mendy, and you'll be wanting to read Outside In as soon as you finish Inside Out!

And Bethany, yes, yes you do!

You saw me before I saw you.

GAH! There's not enough time to read all these books that I have TBR'd. There should be a week long national reading holiday...paid vaca and all.

Benny Imura couldn't hold a job, so he took to killing.

I really want to read that one Julie!

"I despised the odor of fish; an unfortunate problem for someone stuck serving the grub to tourists every weekend."

Ooo! Amy, you'll have to let me know how LURE is. I've been wanting to read more of that genre...just haven't found much of it.

Just finished it last night! It was pretty good! :)

"'Wait--did you--You just yawned!' The vampire's arms, raised over his head in the classic Dracula pose, dropped to his sides."

I just love Evie and her pink taser. :D

JEALOUS! I want that book!!

It was so amazing Bethany! Have you read Eon: Dragoneye Reborn? If you have, read Eona ASAP, because it is soooo much better than Eon!

Ugh! I HAVE read Eon. I really liked it. But i know what you mean about the action coming at the very end. It totally left open for a kick-ass sequel...I can't wait to read it!!

You're really burning through that series Julie! Must be good!

Chauncey was with a farmer's daughter on the grassy banks of the Loire River when the storm rolled in, and having let his gelding wander in the meadow, was left to his own two feet to carry him back to the chateau. he tore a sliver buckle off his shoe, placed it in the girl's palm and watched her scurry away, mud slinging on her skirts.

"There is one mirror in my house. It is behind a sliding panel in the hallway upstairs."

I'm so excited to get into this one!!

"Everything has changed. My body, my desires, my appetite. My soul."

A few things that made that day stand out more than any other: it was my sixth birthday, and my mother was wielding a knife.

I'm starting it today...I have heard nothing but good things about it!

Let me know! I've had The Lost Saint on my shelf for a while but haven't read it yet.

Hehe can I say (since I have a dirty mind) that that line made me giggle like a little girl! :)

When Rhys and I showed up at my "brother" Matt's house at eight in the morning, he was happy...in the sense that he was glad I was alive and hadn't disappeared forever.

I had my back to the room as I stared out the window.

The day the rains finally came was like any other, with blistering air coating the canyon in a heavy stillness.

Okay, I'm totally putting more than just the first line of this book because you all will enjoy it so much and if you're anything like me you'll completely identify with it.

Having your nose in a book may be a great way to spend your spare time unless you do it to the exclusion of everything else. You get up, grab your book, then read until night comes when you're forced to put it down for sleep. Oh sure, you have the occasional interruptions in the pattern like eating and school but that, I suppose, must be tolerated.

I just started this book and thought it was a good indication that I laughed so hard from just the first page. Anyway, it was free on my nookcolor so hopefully it's good.

Oh my gosh! That's too funny! It's not bad that it describes me like exactly is it? haha :)

Here's mine:

"Malachi stood at the base of the mountain staring into the chasm of hell."


This one sounds really good and has some pretty good recs! Only $4.99 for the Nook if anyone else is interested!

"I stood in front of today's schedule still holding my skateboard, still drenched from the ride over, and still desperately wishing that I hadn't dropped out of college."

They said she killed herself.

This morning, my mother didn't get out of bed.


The string slices into the skin of his fingers and no matter how tough the calluses, it tears.

"He stood poised on the edge of a sheet of glass."

"It is impossible to know who you really are until you spend time alone in a cemetery."


Haha this one was kinda morbid...

I don't know whether it's day or night when the girl gets up to leave.

I'm sixteen. Pregnant. And the most important person on the planet.

I must read that book now. I was never too excited about Bumped, but that really hooked me. Time to interlibrary loan it.

Haha, sounds like that line came from an episode of "16 and Pregnant"!

Haha...totally.

"Marcelo, are you ready?" I lift up my thumb. It means that I am ready.

Aren't Fridays supposed to be good? This one started badly.

I'm a traitor to my generation. Seriously.

A shot rang out. A broad gate banged open. A pounding of horses' hooves echoed around the track like a massive clap of thunder.

Wow Julie! Fifth one already? That must be an awesome series! I'll need to pick it up eventually!

And Bethany! You insane woman! How can you be reading four books at once? I'm barely keeping up with one!

Just started by Jodi Picoult but the first sentence is what hooked me.

The fifth and final book. The concept of a wildlife preserve for mythical creatures has kept me interested.
