Dystopian society novels are my favorite but I also love reading Paranormal Romance novels, Sci-Fi novels, and Mythological novels. My favorite books are series. I love getting to know the characters and the landscape, and trying to figure out where they are going to go next.
If you are bored and/or looking for a good book to read, I have listed some below. Check them out! Look them up on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. See if any look good to you. If you read one, let me know what you think about it. If you have already read one (or more), I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Happy Reading!

Oooh I am going to have to check some of these out! I'm always looking for new books/genres to read (and I do love a good series myself). Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle - this is a great list! I've read a bunch but now I have so many more to add - thank you! I have one series to suggest to you that I just stumbled on and love. The Premonition series by Amy Bartol - there are four books so far, and would fall under the paranormal series. I can't find them at my library, but they are each under $5 on the Nook. If you check them out, let me know what you think!
ReplyDeleteDana, thanks for stopping by! I recently just finished Angelfall by Susan Ee and it is one of my favorite books of all time. I kid you not! Check it out.
DeleteI am going to try the Premonition series. I am always looking for a good book! :)
