    Anyone have ideas for what we should read next? And was 4 weeks enough time for reading, or do we need to adjust that?

    I have read Divergent and it was really good. I have heard great things about Unbroken too.

    I also have this book Mudbound on my to-read list (I think from a suggestion from Julie on goodreads).

    It is definitely the same genre as The Giver and Matched, so we might want to go a different direction this time.

    I'm not picky what we read. 4 weeks is definitely enough time. I think I read slow and I won't start reading whatever we pick until about a week before it's due so it will still be fresh in my mind. I do like the extra time so I can get the book from the library though.

    I just saw this one at Barnes & Noble yesterday and thought it looked interesting. What did you not like about it?

    I looked at all the books suggested & I could definitely vote for one of those for the next book.

    I heard that The Helper was a good book - but have not read it yet.

    ouuu Julie's books sound good and interesting....

    Unbroken and One Day are on my list to read....and i was actually going to suggest The Helper also, it's on my list too!

    Here Be Dragons still sounds fun too!

    I actually just bought Song of the Exile yesterday- would love to read this as a group....

    as well as Shark Dialogues - also by the same author... i adore Hawaiian History! :giggle

    I also have this on my to read list, but it might be a little deep and depressing:

    I just never connected with the characters at all, and the book was incredibly boring to me. And the ending stunk (IMO :))

    Honestly, I could read a manual and be happy! LOL! And, yes. 4 weeks is more than enough time.

    ok, I have an opinion now. I'm reading both Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand for my library's reading program over the next few weeks... so let's do one of those! :)
