Holy crap. I can't believe how long it's been since I posted anything on here. Suffice to say I've been much busier at work this year but I still have had time to sneak a few good reads in. Here are some of my most recent favs...
1. The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan. This is the third book in a loosely connected series that started with "The Forest of Hands and Teeth." If you like zombies and dystopian lit, you'll enjoy this and I personally think that Ryan is becoming a better writer as she goes.
2. Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness. One word: AMAZING!! This is the final book in the Chaos Walking series which started with "The Knife of Never Letting Go" and was followed by "The Ask and the Answer." The books are set in the future on an alien planet where humans have settled and fought with the native species. For some reason, every thought that a male has can be heard by everyone else but women have an immunity to the condition. Definitely the best YA lit I've read in years. Get it.
3. How to Steal a Car by Pete Hautman. This is a super quick read and is a really fun surprise. The plot follows a suburban teenage girl who develops a penchant for adrenaline rushes. Definitely worth picking up.
Well that's all for now...I guess I'd better crash on the couch and work through some more. I'm currently reading Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman. It looks super cheesy and the cover kind of threw me off it but Tamora Pierce gave it an excellent review.
