Book Review : Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

     1 Comment

“You had to want your mind to change. Maybe some people had always been pretty-headed, even back before the operation had been invented. Maybe some people were happier that way.”

– Scott Westerfeld, Pretties

Synopsis : Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she’s completely popular. It’s everything she’s ever wanted. But beneath all the fun — the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom — is a nagging sense that something’s wrong. Something important. . .Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life — because the authorities don’t intend to let anyone with this information survive.

The first book,Uglies taunted readers and Tally with the perfect bubbly world of New Pretty Town. Let’s face it we were all a little curious about what it was like to be a Pretty and Pretties does exactly that. Who doesn’t want to see what the champagne-swilling, party going, Jersey-shore like atmosphere is like first hand? Somehow at their bubbliest Westerfeld still made Tally and Shay almost likeable characters. This book explores the aftermath that ensues after the cure has been discovered.

If you see any other contest or giveaways send them my way !

 “History was a bitch sometimes. You couldn’t change where you were from. But still, you didn’t have to stay there.” – Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures

Synopsis : Ethan Wate is haunted by dreams of a girl he’s never met. When Lena Duchannes moves into his small southern town of Gatlin County, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her. And he is determined to uncover the strange connection between them, even if it means uncovering the one secret that could change everything.

I’ve only read one paranormal romance, Twilight, and have a “hate-like but still kind of annoyed” relationship with. Since then I decided to ward off teen paranormal romance

BAS is taking part in the In My Mailbox meme started by The Story Siren. Each week bloggers post books that have arrived in their mailbox, picked up from the bookstore or purchased. Here are some books I’m getting ready to read.

Today’s post is brought to me by the library. This is the first time I’ve gotten a haul from a library in years. I can pick out as many as I want without worrying about buying something I don’t like.
