Tell me something Tuesday (1)

Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Heidi @ Rainy Day Ramblings. Each week a new question is presented. Check out Heidi's blog for all the details :)

This weeks question is:

Do you read books based on the season?

Unless it's for a book club I really don't read books based on the time of year, I usually just grab the book that's on the top of my to read pile.

Top Ten Tuesday (6)

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Stacking the Shelves (7)

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course e books! 

This past week I got:

I was sick most of the week so I was unable to buy many books.

External Force by Deborah Rix Review

Title:  External Forces

Author: Deborah Rix

Series: The Laws of Motion#1

Pages: 268

Date Published: September 13 2013

Publisher: Dime Store Books

*I recieved this book in exchange for an hosest Review*

It’s 100 years since the Genetic Integrity Act was passed and America closed its borders to prevent genetic contamination. Now only the enemy, dysgenic Deviants, remain beyond the heavily guarded border. The Department of Evolution carefully guides the creation of each generation and deviations from the divine plan are not permitted.

I love anyhing dystopian but lately I feel that there is nothing new in the genre, hoewver after reading this book my faith in YA/NA authors was restored. At first I was a bit worried about the religion/science premise but Deborah Rix handled it very nicely. 

The Pros:

-The Devotees were very interesting, I wish there had been more of them.

- I loved the world building. Mixing religion with science especially when it's done right, like in this case, makes an interesting background.

-Jess was a great character, smart, funny, caring but not a perfect cookie cutter heroine.

-I liked that Jess's friends and how they were always looking after her as well as telling her when she was doing something wrong.

-Jess's deviation was awesome.

-The love interest wasn't the reason Jess started to rebel, she started doing it before

The Cons:

-Some scenes reminded me of Divergent, this book is awesome on it's own, it didn't need scenes like the one with the knife throwing.

-The book opens with Jess experiencing her deviation for the first time but then it's mentioned only lightly.

-There were times the book lost my attentin. Some parts dragged a little bit

I really enjoyed this book, nice breath of frsh air,it's great for people who enjoy reading about Dystopias.

WWW Wednesday (5)

W W W Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sould be Reading. To play along you have to answer three questions:

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finished reading?
• What do you think you will read next?

My answers this week are:

What am I currently reading? After a few days of waiting my copy of Sentinel by Jennifer L. Armentrout arrived. I can't believe this is going to be the last one in the series.

What did I recently finished reading? The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa. The whole book was Amazing but the only bad thing about it was that it ended in a cliffhanger and the next book doesn't come out untill next year.

What do I think I will read next? Never Fade, after realizing that this is already published I ordered it and now it's on my desk waiting to be read.
