My Kindle. My most prized possession. While I love "real" books, there is something so satisfying about carrying 1,000 books in my purse. Let me start off by warning you that I LOVE dystopian novels. Maybe it's that alternate world I get transported to. Or maybe its that today's world is scary enough, and the future worlds in these novels make it seem less frightening? I am not sure, but the fact is that I love them. For my first post I am going to list my recent reads, and tell you why you MUST read them. :)
1. The Hunger Games (as well as Catching Fire and Mockingjay) by Suzanne Collins (my hero) - DUH. I am not even going to elaborate on why.
2. Divergent by Veronica Roth- Trust me, this series IS the next "Hunger Games". I am counting down the minutes until book #2 (Insurgent) is released on May 1st. AND I love that she is from Chicago, the story is set in Chicago and vicinity (where I live), oh I just love the whole thing. Go ahead. Read it. Try to tell me you could put it down for a second.
3. Delirium (and Pandemonium) by Lauren Oliver - Book #3 of this series will not be released until February 2013. Oh. My. God. That is TOO long to wait. This book took me a few chapters to get hooked, but then it took me less than 24 hours to finish both. Yes, my husband and kids were on their own once again while I entered another world. That happened with The Hunger Games as well. No one speak to me, feed and bathe yourselves, mom isn't here.
I just started "Legend" by Marie Lu...so more on that later.
