Book plea!
Not for me for...DJ, believe it or not.
Seriously. We came home from seeing The Hunger Games and he decided he wanted to read it. And he did...in a week. Then he asked me to help him get a Fire because he hated carrying books around. I went half with him and boom. He's devouring books like a termite in a wood pile.
Yeah, you read that right. DJ. The gamer.
So! My problem is that I'm running out of things to recommend for him. Right now he's eating up dystopian/post-apocalyptic stuff.
To date, he has read:
Collins' The Hunger Games
Roth's Divergent/Insurgent
Aguirre's Enclave
Lu's Legend
And I think he's starting either Wells' Partials or Dashner's Maze Runner tonight (he's started reading the free samples first - if the first chapter doesn't pull him, he won't continue...and the first victim of the no-pull was Price's Starters.)
Okay, flist. What have you got? Older, newer, hit me up.

Basilisk by N.M. Browne
There was a possibly quite interesting looking book I saw at the store called Cinder by Marissa Meyer that looks to be some kind of a Cyberpunk Cinderella?
