Hey all! The poll results are in, and for the month of November, we will be reading:
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
and
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
Please vote for which book(s) you are planning to read with me this month!
You can either choose to read one of these books, both of them (that's what I'll be doing!), or neither (if you're busy or if you're not interested in either of these books). If you've already read both of these books, please feel free to join the discussions we will be having soon!
Now is the time to start looking for ways to read these books! If you can't buy the book or go to a local library, I recommend an app called Overdrive - I've been using it for years now and I love it! You just need an account/card for a library that participates in the company. If anyone has other suggestions, please comment below so we can help each other access the books!
I will check in with you all soon to see when we can start reading :)
I will be putting Goodreads synopses for these books in the first two comments.

ReplyDeleteFeyre's survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill – the forest where she lives is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So when she spots a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the flesh. But to do so, she must kill the predator and killing something so precious comes at a price ...
Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre's presence at the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.
(retelling of Beauty and the Beast)

ReplyDeleteWhen Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something frightening enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that had killed most of America’s children, but she and the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they could not control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. She is on the run, desperate to find the only safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who have escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at having a life worth living.
