I just started reading the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. I found this series in the young adult section and even though I’m 25 I’m thoroughly enjoying it. The book is set in a dystopian future where once you turn 16 you undergo a surgery that makes you “pretty”. Everyone seems happy, everyone looks the same but it’s not all fine and dandy in New Pretty Town.
The characters are likable and the book is not too predictable (I’m looking at you Twilight). It’s set in the future but the technology is believable and interesting. I’m thinking I would really like a bungee jacket. The main character, Tally, can handle herself. Yea she makes mistakes but she doesn’t always have to have a man come to her rescue (she’s no Bella).
I’m on book two in the series which I’m enjoying even more than book one. I’m done with the Twilight comparisons. It’s just nice to not have to roll my eyes so much while reading a book, or ALL FOUR BOOKS.

I've heard of this - it certainly sounds interesting! And if there's no eye-rolling a la Twilight, I may dive in! Haha. Seriously, I think Twilight made me very wary of YA books, but I love them so!
I would give it a shot. It was better than I was expecting.
I've been looking for these books at every store I got to! They never have it so I think I should check online. :)
Honestly, more often than not, I forget I'm 21. I still feel like I'm a 15 year old in my mind. I love YA books.
haha I thought this was worth sharing: the captcha it asked me to type in just now was "books".
sj: I think it's worth it to find them. I found them in the YA section of Barnes and Noble.
Ella: I'm the same way! Screw acting your age :) YA books are just fun>
