You should definitely check out Daynight, it has a very interesting and unique plot. :-)Chelsea M.http://bookbloggerparadise.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-62940993281297967272013-06-22T21:37:02.194-07:002013-06-22T21:37:02.194-07:00I hate them.

The Hunger Games was my favourite (probably because Peeta was so uncliched). I have the Clockwork Prince to read, looking forward to seeing how that one will pan out.Trish Hannonhttp://www.betweenthelinesisanendlessstory.blogspot.ie/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-38714507302793426222013-06-03T20:25:48.167-07:002013-06-03T20:25:48.167-07:00I agree, I love to hate them :-) You are right, so...I agree, I love to hate them :-) You are right, so many people felt that way about Matched.

And I also love hating them :D<br />I was 100% Team Peeta too!!!<br />I have read only the first book of the Matched trilogy, and I wasn't in love (at all), so I don't see myself picking it up again. Especially not since everyone seems to be agreeing on that it was meh.Caycehttp://nijiclovers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-48969198463773841712013-06-03T00:48:28.895-07:002013-06-03T00:48:28.895-07:00Thanks for the recommendation. :-) It's been a...Thanks for the recommendation. :-) It's been added to my list to check into .Katiehttp://wordsfromabookaholic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-18247850378388052212013-06-02T14:07:35.933-07:002013-06-02T14:07:35.933-07:00I loved Matched.

You can't go wrong with The Hunger Games.

It seems like love triangles have become the norm for young adult books, especially dystopian and it can get old. :-)Chelsea M.http://bookbloggerparadise.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-62658105524699745992013-06-01T19:04:49.384-07:002013-06-01T19:04:49.384-07:00You make a really good point.

Those books are all about the romance for me too and I need it to only be between 2 people. :-)Chelsea M.http://bookbloggerparadise.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-2084598095130573532013-06-01T19:02:48.262-07:002013-06-01T19:02:48.262-07:00I agree with you, they need to be done well for me...I agree with you, they need to be done well for me to really enjoy them too.

They...I really can't get behind love triangles. They're just so unappealing to me! <br /><br /><br />Maybe I'm an ol' softy, but I like the idea of following a love story between two people - I think the characters and their relationships are explored so much more deeply. When there's a triangle I find a lot of things are glossed over to make way for a bunch of unnecessary and repetitive drama.<br /><br /><br />Give me one boy to swoon over and leave out his inferior counterpart! :)Allie Christohttp://littlebirdiebooks.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-8658349824699932952013-06-01T13:42:07.276-07:002013-06-01T13:42:07.276-07:00I personally love love (ha) triangles when they ar...I personally love love (ha) triangles when they are done well.

I agree some just make me want to pull my out hair though.
