    I finished the Giver but then got caught up in the Fever Series & haven't read matched yet. I guess I need to go add it to my Kindle!

    I'm with you Rebecca---I can't make myself read something if I'm not in the mood. Maybe the mood will strike in the next day or 2!!! :giggle

    Matched is really good, so much better than The Giver. You really should make yourselves read it. You will be hooked after a few chapters!

    LOVE the new reading pad!!

    I really enjoyed the selections. I still have a few chapters to go to finish Matched...once I started my course I only had time to read a text book. :( I'll have it finished though! :D

    I was up ridiculously late or early depending on how you look at it lol....reading Matched. It was one of those that I just couldn't put down. I really liked it and already pre-ordered the second book off of Amazon.

    I read the Giver already!! I was really good... but I was disappointed with how short the book was.
    Can't wait to read Matched. I'm STILL like #24 on the library waiting list yet though. BOO

    Love the new PAD!

    I read both too. I had read The Giver year ago, but it was good to reread it. I really enjoyed The Matched!!

    I have it on my Kindle. I don't know if I can share it, but if it's one that I can and someone has a Kindle, I'll try to share it with you!
