 | Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $74.18 I absolutely ADORE this book. original idea, likeably characters, engaging plot: this book has it all. After the Rusties (thats us btw) nearly destroyed themselves, scientists knew that they should do something. And Tally Youngblood is one Ugly who can't wait to become Pretty. This book is set a few hundred years from now, but is not impossible to understand.

 | Extras (The Uglies) by Scott Westerfeld
Buy used from: $4.90 This book is a sequel to the Uglies Trilogy, and is set in China(maybe Japan?), from the point of view of a young girl named Asa. In her society, face rank (that is, popularity) is the key to being on top. And Asa has a story that might get her in the top 1000... This is a good book, but not my favorite, mostly because it isnt in the view of Tally.

 | Bogus to Bubbly: An Insider's Guide to the World of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.33 If you liked Uglies, this is a cool little book about the inner workings of Uglies. It doesn't have that much new startling information, but it has drawings, maps, a "hoverboard manual" among other things. Get it from your library, dont buy it.
|
 | Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.10 Brought to you by the author of Uglies, Peeps brings a new spin on Vampirism. (For the record, I dont like vampire books, but i liked this.) It is caused by a parasite in your brain. And it is spreading. But why? This is a very good book and has short bios on all different types of parasites in between chapters. Its really cool!
|
 | The Last Days by Scott Westerfeld
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.94 Like most of S. Westerfeld's sequels, The Last Days is from the point of view of a different character. However, it was good, but again, not my favorite.

 | The Host: A Novel by Stephenie Meyer
Buy new: $14.97 / Used from: $10.63 Yes, I hate Twilight and all vampire-romance-with-hot-vampire-and-equally-hot-werewolf-and-mortal-teenage-girl books that are exactly the same.(actually i kind of liked Twilight, just not the sequels.) But Stephanie Meyer has definitely redeemed herself with this novel. Surprisingly well written, it is huge, and therefore a perfect vacation book.

Buy new: $11.56 / Used from: $4.47 A Graceling is a being with a special talent: anything from storytelling to cooking, from dancing to fighting. Katsa has a very useful talent: killing. Forced to act as a henchman for a manipulative king, Katsa channels her guilt by forming a secret council of like-minded citizens who carry out secret missions to promote justice over cruelty and abuses of power. Very good and a good vacation book.

 | Cathy's Book: If Found Call (650) 266-8233 by Sean Stewart
Buy new: $6.53 / Used from: $0.01 I guess I am giving something away by calling this sci-fi/paranormal fantasy. I don't want to say why, but you will find out.
BTW, you can really call the numbers and go on the websites. its so cool and original! Plus, there is a pocket with all the "evidence" that you can look through. if the book you have does not have the pocket, the evidence is printed on pages halfway through the book.
