Books I got from UKYA...

A reminder to myself of some of the books on my tbr pile!
So far, of these, I have only read The Illusionists, although I started The Coldest Girl in Coldtown today:)
Want you to read Fearsome Dreamer then The Illusionists (you can borrow mine:) so we can discuss, was really cool being a two part series, and did not go in the direction I thought it would, really interesting, and made me think for ages afterwards, always a good sign! 


The Maze Runner

So, this was a book I got everyone at book club to read, mainly because it is a ya book and the film is out soon, so needed to read it first, obviously! Anyway was a good choice as everyone else already on the second or third in the series, and I will be getting at some point too, is just really addictive!
The main character is a 16year old (he thinks!) boy, and actually nearly all characters are young boys, not sure I've read too many of those so surprised me in a way that was so interesting
All I'll tell you is that the boy wakes up (on page one, no spoilers here!) in a strange place with lots of strange boys, some scary situations, and no memories...
Give it a go:)

Lila 

Oh, it's by James Dashner 

Ps I have so many book reviews to catch up, this is just the latest one I read, to get me started:)
