  12. I just finished 'The Liar Society' -- it was quite good!! Very interesting and plot twisty.

    I'm picking up 'Warped' from the library soon, as well. Hopefully we both enjoy it.

    I'll be interested to see what you think of 'Grace' ... I enjoyed it, but it was definitely different.

  15. Hey Danya, I left a comment on my blog regarding the question you asked about Carrie Ryan's Forest of Hands and Teeth novels but I thought I'd explain here...

    I would say that the novels are zombie dystopian because it's set in a futuristic world where zombies have sort of taken over everything and humans live in small, highly fortified settlements in an attempt to keep them out. They're a lot darker than some of the other zombie novels I've read and the author really puts her characters through the ringer. Like as soon as you gain hope that something good is going to happen, she grabs the rug out from right you sort of thing. I'm depressed and anxious half the time I'm reading because I'm so nervous for them...

    I wasn't much of a fan of the first novel but the second novel was a lot better when it moved forward a whole bunch of years and switched to a different character... one I liked a bit more...

    I'm just a bit hesitant to actually recommend the books since you said you're not particularly fond of zombies. But if you borrowed it from the library, it's free, right? So either way, there would be no harm in trying them... -.-

  17. I have The Liar Society too! I just wrote my review for Warped. I was so hoping it would be *that* book for me, but it wasn't. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on it.
