I really much preferred Scott Westerfeld's dystopian future in the Uglies series
Definitely.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.
Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's also on my List. It's a trilogy, but then there's some book called Extras ? Should I read that too?

Extras is...okay. I'm glad I read it for completion's sake, but I didn't like it as much as the first 3.
I also really like Westerfeld's Midnighters trilogy, although it's not dystopia like Uglies or Hunger Games.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I thought the (third book spoilers) pods were designed so they could be activated remotely but also I didn't think the Capitol was too worried that a few citizens might get blown up by mistake .

Me, neither. The first three were the best of that sequence.

I'm a completist, so I'll probably read it. Maybe I'll do them in January.
