Books to read - Matched

Image
"Matched" started off good, but got a little too poetic for me at the end. I also read the second book, “Crossed,” and found it very disappointing, but the concept is interesting. I wouldnt reccommend buying it, but if you come across it, give it a chance! I'm not the best book reviewer in the world! The society chooses everything for its citizens- what to watch, what to believe, and who to marry. At Cassia’s matching ceremony she believes she is correctly matched with her best friend, Xander, until she sees Ky’s face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The society tells her it’s a glitch, but she just can’t get Ky out of her head. She is drawn to Ky and when they begin to fall in love she is faced with the difficult choice between the only life she has known or a path that no one else has dared to follow before.

Books to read - The Maze Runner

  The next book I’d like to recommend is the Maze runner! I actually read this book a year or so ago, but I heard there is now an entire trilogy (The scorch trials and the death cure) and possibly an upcoming movie so I might have to keep reading! Thomas wakes up in a box with no memory of how he got there. He only remembers his first name and a group of boys pull him out and into “the Glade”. The Glade is an open area surrounded by massive stone walls with four doors that close each night to protect the boys from the monsters that live beyond them. Each day the runners run the maze outside the walls to try to find an exit, but they must get back before nightfall or they will be locked out. Thomas decides to become a runner to face the puzzle head on, and then realizes that he may know more about the maze than he thought. He is more important than he can ever guess, but he must unlock his memories of the time before he entered the glade.

Books to Read - Divergent

Ok, I’ll admit it. I am a huge Hunger Games fan. I actually started reading the books way before they got big (like 2 years ago) and I was hurriedly awaiting the third book to be released in Aug of 2010. When other people started mentioning them I always recommended them and got a lot of my coworkers to read them as well. When I heard about the movie I was extremely excited, in fact, I bought presale tickets as soon as they were available and I am really excited about going this Friday! Needless today, I also enjoyed Harry Potter and I think the alternate or futuristic reality books are definitely my thing. I thought I would go ahead and post some of the books I have been reading or looking at lately so if you are into that kind of genre you can take a look yourself! If you like Hunger Games you will probably like these! I'll start this post with Divergent! This book may very well be the next Hunger Games, although I’m not sure how the movie version would turn out! The second

I especially like the last one... Who uses Google+? I knew it would be a failure. People like routine and they definitely arent going to switch!
