<— DYSTOPIAN ALERT & OMG I LOVE the sound of this one.

Tessa: Something definitely unique and fantasy is Secondborn by Amy Bartol. I really liked that series, and am waiting with bated breath for the last of the trilogy. (I think it will be anyway?)

…Secondborn and Traitor Born by Amy Bartol just blew me away. It was so high in angst, GAH. I loved it.

Nay: I’m going to check out this Secondborn series, even if it is YA. If they’re angsty enough, sometimes I end up loving them more than some of the corny NAs out there. read more

This one was absolutely EXALTED in my “books that stayed with you” post. OMG WHAT A REACTION!! I have never read this, or even heard of it until the comments started coming in, so I MUST dedicate a post to it.

Amber: The Giver by Lois Lowry… …amazing and I always recommend them to anyone I can.
parklygoddess: I love the Giver and I feel that is different from all other dystopia books out there.
Rebecka: My absolute favorite book ever has to be The Giver by Lois Lowery. I was 10 the first time I read it but it’s the book that made me fall in love with reading. And I’m still a sucker for some YA dystopian drama. lol
Sarah: favorite book of all time….. The Giver by Lois Lowery. It left such an impression on my as a young person it made me realize my love of reading.
Jamie: when I was in like 5th grade which seems like a million years ago I read the book “The Giver” by Lois Lowry…I still love that book and cant wait for my children to read it..I remember being really mad when it ended and hoping for another one. I was informed today that she does have other books that follow this one and I had to order the whole set including her new one “Son” I am excited now because I can start at the beginning and re read all of them!! I was in the 5th grade and now I am 26 years old working on the last year of my Bachelor’s degree crazy hug? LOL…FYI this is amazing that you are doing this and I am grateful for getting to be a part of this! read more

Folsom (The End of Men Book 1
<—The age of women. And with that… I must say… OMG THAT BIT*H!!!!! OMG OMG! I am furious, incensed and distraught! All of them. Most of them… such a cause, and yet such a scheme. A political, social injustice under the guise of betterment. Life. I’m so mad right now I could SPIT!

Its a full on forbidden-romance, with all sorts of villains and unexpected heroes in the midst of this dystopian, almost-100% female society, that has it ALL together. What happened? They don’t really know, but men died off. All but a precious few, and the male chromosome is hard to reproduce, even with the men that are left. read more
