Yes Monsters of Men is long, so I might have to wait a while before beginning that one.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-59351928342377320122012-05-15T05:55:19.097-06:002012-05-15T05:55:19.097-06:00Hi Linda, I'm glad that you're reading Div...Hi Linda, I'm glad that you're reading Divergent. I've been hearing so many great things about it, and I'm curious as to how you'd find it. So this is the Taiwanese illustrator that you've shared with us! I'd try to look for this book in our library. :) <br /><br />I just finished reading Tall Story by Candy Gourlay (beautiful book) and Shizuko's Daughter by Kyoko Mori. Still plodding through Monsters of Men, it's great, but soooo thick! :) I am hoping to finish Kira Kira by Kadohata for our Immigrant and Asian Festival theme. It's also a Newbery Medalist. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-56457980428562745212012-05-14T20:50:41.946-06:002012-05-14T20:50:41.946-06:00Wow, so glad to hear that Divergent is good-so far...Wow, so glad to hear that Divergent is good-so far, 100+ pages in, it's really intriguing!

I think I need to read through the whole series to kick off my summer. Divergent does get more and more intense...I feel that way a lot of times with books, I think they aren't going to live up to my expectations and then (most of the time) they do. It's not fun then they don't, but I feel like with most of my books coming from my Nerdy Book Club, blogging, and/or Twitter friends, they usually do!Jen Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253968450319192514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-23524014282219503522012-05-14T09:23:19.151-06:002012-05-14T09:23:19.151-06:00Well, to everyone who responded, looks as if Diver...Well, to everyone who responded, looks as if Divergent does do what it's promising.

It's a wild ride of a book and very addicting.

In my school, this will be the next Hunger Games. It's getting passed around at a steady pace. I may have to have a couple copies next year.Deb Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861392500601183208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-44716558665990855352012-05-14T05:34:55.816-06:002012-05-14T05:34:55.816-06:00I LOVE Babymouse!
