I know. I know. Read more. We shall see, minions. We shall see. But, enough idle chatter. On with My October reading list!
- PRETTIES by Scott Westerfeld ... YA dystopian (audiobook) The second in Westerfeld's UGLIES series. Highly recommended read.
- DITCHED by Robin Mellom ... YA contemporary (ARC...release date 01/10/2012) A fun, light and fluffy teen romance.
- PARTY by Tom Leveen ... YA contemporay I looked into this book after having read an ARC of Leveen's sophmore effort, ZERO. PARTY is a smart, well-thought out story of eleven teens and how their lives change over the course of one night.
- ABANDONED by Cody McFadyen ... Mystery/Suspense The fourth book involving kick-ass FBI agent Smoky Barrett and her crew. McFadyen weaves fast-paced thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first to the last page, with almost no rest in between. Those of you who like Harlen Coben, James Patterson, Karen Slaughter, etc, you simply must check this guy out. (If you're new to McFadyen, you don't have to read his books in order, but I think it helps. They are: SHADOW MAN, THE FACE OF DEATH, THE DARKER SIDE, and then ABANDONED)
- SWEET AS SIN by Inez Kelley ... Romance This was our Book Hungry October selection. Not really my taste, but the book did have some redeeming qualities.
- ZOMBIE TAG by Hannah Moskowitz ... Middle Grade (ARC...release date 12/20/2011) My favorite read this month! Great story. You should check it out :)
- DESTINED by PC & Kristin Cast ... YA paranormal One of the few vampire series I willingly read anymore. After the letdown of AWAKENED, I didn't have very high expectations for this installment, but with DESTINED, I was once again reminded why I loved vampires so much.
I really liked Pretties more than Uglies. The MC seems stronger somehow, though I didn't like the next one at all. Will be interested in what you think!
ReplyDeleteI got an ARC of Zero so I'll be reading that this month, and now that you mention it, I think T. Leveen was on AW for awhile. We conversed a bit. As is Suzanne Young, the author of A Need So Beautiful. Haven't read any of the others on your list.
