Hey, it's Friday! Follow Friday

This is a meme hosted by Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read.  It's a blog hop to help expand your readership.

This week's question:

Christmas in July! Someone gives you a gift card for two books (whatever that costs). What two books will you buy?

 

 OK, so both of the books I really want right now are not out yet, The Mark of Athena (Rick Riordan) and Rebel Heart (Moira Young), both come out in October. I love the other books in their series' so much and I can't wait to read these. However, if I had to choose books that were already out I would pick For Darkness Shows the Stars (A beautiful retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion by Diana Peterfreund) and Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I seem to have a lot of dystopians on my list but thats cool ^_^


Sorry that I haven't been updating in a while. I meant to then things just kept getting in the way and I haven't been reading as much. I'll try to get back to it.

    Hi there! Hopping through! I hadn't heard of the two that come out in October, but For Darkness Shows the Stars and Insurgent are both high on my TBR list, so hopefully I'll get to them soon. Great picks! My FFs (there are two) are on my blogs--listed on my profile and one the hop. Hope to see ya around the blogosphere! Happy Friday. P.S. I'm way into dystopian too! In fact, I write it! :D

      That's awesome! I would love to write dystopian but I'm working on a fantasy right now.
      I really enjoyed For Darkness Shows the Stars and Insurgent, I hope you like them as well!

    I love dystopian books! Insurgent is great (but I have to admit I did prefer Divergent over it!) and For Darkness Shows The Stars is on my wishlist! Great picks!

    Haha, I see you couldn't stick to two? :) If I didn't stop myself, I guess I'd ended up with a list of hundreds of books...
    But you have to promise me that you buy Insurgent - it's so amazing!

    I have Insurgent sitting on my shelf. I have to reread Divergent right away so I can get to it! I picked one book that wasn't out too, but really, if you got an Amazon gift card, you could pre-order:)
