"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Past. Present. Future. (19)



There are a a lot of these "What're you reading?" features around, so I figured, hey why not start one too? Basically, here's where I highlight the books I've read, the books I'm reading, and the books I'm going to read. Fun, right? Please join in if you want!

PAST:
Dust & Decay by Jonathan Maberry - So much love for this series!  Picking up where Rot & Ruin left off, Dust & Decay is heart-wrenching  terrifying, and full of humanity's greatest struggles!  This is one complicated and engrossing book.  If there was one series everyone needs to read, this would be it.  I fell even more in love with Benny, Nix,  Lilah, and Chong, revving me up for the next installment Flesh & Bone!




PRESENT:
Flesh & Bone by Jonathan Maberry - Holy right in the feels!  Again, picking up where Dust & Decay left off, I'm facing a harsh new reality along with my favorite characters!  I can't give much away as I don't want to spoil anything, but the religious overtones that where slowly presenting themselves in the first two books are front and center here.  This gives such an interesting spin on the zombie apocalypse!




FUTURE:

Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig - Robin Hood mixed with Gossip Girl?  Count me in!  I want something that's really fun, and this sounds like just the ticket!  I love the story of Robin Hood, and to find it in a modern setting with a female at the helm makes me so happy.  I also have a serious addiction to Gossip Girl, so I'm all for something similar!
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman - I've heard so many amazing things about this book!  I've been in the mood for a real fantasy lately, and I think this will serve nicely.  I'm intrigued by the main character's predicament  and being torn between two sides.  I can't wait to read what happens!







If any of you've read any of these books, let me know what you thought (but NO spoilers) down below in the comments!
