Okay, I see the email with it, but it's to a different account from the one my nook account is associated with (lsprink@hopeintransit.org) so if I haven't accepted it yet, can you rescind and resend?
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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."

Hm, it's showing up as "lent" in my library. Checking with customer service on how to undo that. Sorry!

liese which book do you need? Cause I might have it and can lend it.
Except I can't find the Nook.

It was Catching Fire, Kat. B&N customer service is supposed to get back to me in 24-48 hrs. You can lend through their website, too.

not your mom's socks.
Hivemind, a friend views herself as a fairly mainstream reader. She's just devoured the Hunger Games series and is looking for more. Her tolerances: Victorian/Steampunk - moderate to high; vampire/zombie - resistant. Would you be so kind as to help me turn --no, wait-- help her find some more good reads? PS, she's a yarnbomber, and awfully fun.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The Affinity Bridge is good - Victorian/steampunk. Author is ... Mann?

Sox, I would recommend Oryx and Crake and Handmaid's Tale. Same dystopian fun....no zombies!

Sox, she might like Nancy Farmer's House of the Scorpion, which is a YA-adventure dystopian variation on Never Let Me Go -- and written first.

Possibly the Midnighters trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. Or, for that matter, his Uglies/Pretties/Specials trilogy.

Sox,
I am going to deviate slightly from the recommendations above and suggest the Suarez novels: Daemon and Freedom (tm).
The pacing of the novels is pretty quick and Suarez's novels have that kind of dystopian feel to them that the Hunger Games does.
