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.

The Chronicles of Nick (a series) from Sherilyn Kenyon

CoN is an offshoot from Kenyon's Dark Hunter series and I've read all 21 of them (so far)...many of them twice. I actually play adult Nick in the game we talked about =)

PS for Chick - she might like the Dark Hunter series, but they are for grownups so she does describe sex and there is a strong sexual content to them even if the language isn't as explicit as, say, the porn that shall not be named. But the characters from CoN are in the series - Tabitha, Kyrian, Acheron, Simi...CoN is kind of an alternate universe to the Dark Hunters.

God I wish I'd known she'd read CoN when I was up there. I'd have talked her ear off :D

She might not have read them until after we got back... she made her way through all the library books we had out, then started in on the books I'd bought at Flights of Fantasy when I went to hear Jackie read. I didn't even think to put the two Nicks together in my head!

Heheheeheh - they are very, very different. My Dark Hunters go first (Nick's about 24 when they start), then CoN goes back to when he was 14...in a kind of pseudo AU.

They're awesome. And if you think Chick can handle the strong sexual situations, I think she's love the Hunters themselves. The mythology is pretty awesome.
