Agreed.
Agreed.

The last dystopian I've read was Mockingjay, and that was a while ago, so I'm not feeling overdone yet. XD I'm still waiting for my library to give me Divergent, and I might have to buy Blood Red Road since the library is being stingy with their two copies. -_-

I love books by John Green, Ned Vizzini, Stephen Chbosky, i guess 'realistic' YA fiction is what i'm really into at the moment, but i'm open for any kinds of suggestions.

My best friend and I recently released our first book in an all new YA paranormal series called: Night Marchers. It's steeped in Hawaiian legend and takes a new twist on the old fashioned ghost story. Here's the link to our book:
I'm looking forward to making new friends. :0)

Hello! Welcome :)
Hello! Welcome :)

My name is Steven, and I'm an avid YA reader and writer and look forward to getting to know all of you :-) Some of my recent book faves include THE HUNGER GAMES Trilogy and THE CHAOS WALKING Trilogy.
Publisher's Marketplace just announced my Post-Apocalyptic YA debut novel which appeared in the "Deal" section on November 28:
"Steven dos Santos's THE TORCH KEEPER, about a young man's harrowing struggle to save his younger brother by surviving a sadistic military recruitment -- and facing the horrifying fate that awaits not only each recruit, but their loved ones, to Brian Farrey at Flux, in a two-book deal, for publication in Winter 2013, by Ginger Knowlton at Curtis Brown."
I love chocolate, cheesecake, movies (especially sci-fi, fantasy, horror) and dabble in scripts in my spare time.

Thank you, Heidi!
