These are the books we are currently reading and a snippet of page 56.

Four: A Divergent Story Collection by Veronica Roth
"I almost lost my first fight, against the Amity girl, Mia. I didn't know how to beat her without hitting her, and I couldn't hit her--at least, not until she had me in a choke hold and my vision was starting to go black at the edges."

The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
"As for her father, she let him live-- weak, useless man that he'd always been. After the murder of his beloved Theodora, Tyman went insane, chatting to his dead wife and shuffling aimlessly through the palace."

(Page 112 again. Hard to get into this one. I love Holly Black, and I do like it, I'm just not a vampire person. Review to come.)
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
"Sometimes it seemed as though all her life was already used up in that dark basement, as if her mother's mouth on Tana's arm was the last thing in her life before this that had felt real. Everything else was just prologue and epilogue."
I want to read all of those books!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
All of these sound really good. Especially Four and Coldest Girl in Coldtown! I love Holly Black.

I love Holly Black too! I have read almost all of her books, but Coldest Girl in Coldtown is one of my favorites.
DeleteI am glad that you like them. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThese words are so good. They make me want to go to the library and get a pile of YAs.
