Happy Friday!

What are you reading? Is it for one of the challenges? Just for fun, what do you think about the dystopian YA genre?

I started Written in my Own Heart's Blood yesterday

I'm reading In The Woods by Tana French. I haven't had a lot of time to read though so I don't know if I will be able to finish it before it is due back

I am only about 20% in. It is for the WBC challenge if I finish it on time.

And now I just bought A Man Called Ove and am really tempted to start that instead

I enjoy a lot of books in the YA dystopian genre

I am reading Misery by Stephen King.

@booneybear

You are an Outlander machine! I hope the withdrawal after you finish isn't too bad!

I am reading Honor's Knight by Rachel Bach. I like it so far. The main character has really cool space armor. I think it is around 50 for the year.

I've only read a dozen or so books in dystopian YA. I liked it a lot until finishing the Divergent trilogy and have had a tough time picking up anything else in the genre.

I've just started The Marriage Game by Alison Weir. It's about Elizabeth I.

I like dystopian as long as it's exploring original ideas and not rehashing something that someone else did first.

I'm reading Crashing Through by Robert Kurston. It's a true story about a guy who has the opportunity to have surgery to repair his sight after being blind his entire life.

I'm listening to The Governess of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky. It's very Downton Abbey-ish.

I'm enjoying both of them. #s 33 & 34

I read some dystopian YA but it's not my go-to genre.

I'm reading Looking for Alaska- John Green. If I can find somewhere to put it in the WBC I will use it. I don't mind the YA dystopian genre as long as it can keep my interest.

I'm alternating between listening to Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson (so fantastic and deserving of all of the awards) and A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray who I just saw at the Girls Gone Sci-fi tour this week. It's also good, but there are a few holes in the plot logic for me.

I just finished Beth Revis's short story collection The Future. The ATU novella was not my cup of tea, but I enjoyed several of the other stories, especially one called Lag. I started Unremembered by Jessica Brody last night.

I went through a huge YA dystopian phase a few years back, kicked off by the Hunger Games, but I'm a little burnt out on it now.

I'm reading 'To Catch a Falling Star' by Anna Belfrage and 'Ruin and Rising' by Leigh Bardugo. They are #17 and #18.

I listened to that last month. I have definite thoughts about it.

I'm listening to Rebel Queen by Michelle Moran. We're in 19th century India in this book. I'm barely into Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. And I'm reading Rose by Lauren Royal during lunchtime at work.

I finally got to start Invaded, but I haven't had much reading time. I'm still playing catch up after being gone for two weeks. I have enjoyed what I read so far!

I think it's #15?

I love Dystopian YA. I have to take breaks from it (as I do with any genre), but it is one of my faves!

Yeah, I've already got a little side eye action going on with this one.

Happy Friday!
