Great post! I really want to check out Unwind and Life as we knew it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and for the ultimate dystopia, I'm reading 1984 right now.
Bookshelf Monstrosity, I LOVED 1984! I should have put on Fahrenheit 451 too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great suggestions!
ReplyDeleteSo you're rooting for Gale? I can't decide who I hope she ends up with -- I'm torn between them. Of course I'm trying not to think about it too much since it will be so long until we can find out, and as you said, you can drive yourself crazy analyzing it in the meantime! (So thanks again for all the suggestions!)
I'm team Peeta, but I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing to end up with Gale. Both are good.
ReplyDeleteI just got Maze Runner from the library. Woot!
Also to fill my time I have more classics on my shelf, and Bran Hambric from Kaleb Nation. There is no end to books.
Gayle, I'm not an over-zealous Gale supporter, but I am definitely leaning his way. Hope you enjoy some of these books!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I would probably reconcile myself to Peeta if I had to :) I've got to get my hands on Bran Hambric!
Several of those are on my list... including the Hunger Games books.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, I'm probably the last person around to read them. Just haven't gotten there yet!
Britt, how shocking! Looking forward to your review...someday :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel - I'm not over CATCHING FIRE yet. I just HAVE to know what's going to happen next. Since that's not going to be happening anytime soon, I think I'll check out some of the titles on your list. I've only read a few of the books you mentioned, so thanks for the recs!
ReplyDeleteSusan, hopefully you'll find something to occupy your mind :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Melissa! I have my eye on a few of the books on your list. I'm a Peeta girl myself but it's hard for me to really root for Gale because I don't feel like I know him. Anyway, I almost wish I hadn't read Hunger Games until all three books are out because it's so hard to wait.
ReplyDeleteKim, I think part of the fun is in the anticipation. Then again, I HATE the waiting. I totally understand your reluctance for Gale, but there is something about a childhood friend that makes me root for him...
