Welcome to Litsy!

Also finished the matched trilogy just been too sick to write review I loved it but ending made me cry and was cliffhangerie to me

5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I have found that this is the easiest way to carry the poems; wrap them around my wrists, place them against my heart. Of course, I don‘t keep all of the pages with me. I‘ve found a place to hide most of them. But there are a few pieces I don‘t ever like to be without.

I finally finished it and wow! I love how it's a dystopian series, and yet still realistic. The main characters weren't on the front lines entirely, they weren't the leaders. So many other dystopian books have teenagers running around completely in charge, but Cassia, Xander, and Ky aren't doing that. They're helping, they take the initiative occasionally, but act how teenagers would act. I love this series. 10/10 would recommend.

f you like books about going against all odds to be with the people you love most, Reached by Ally Condie is the perfect book for you. This is an action packed finale book of a dystopian romance trilogy that will truly blow you away. A plague has spread throughout society which is seen as the beginning of the end, or the start of the Rising against society.

This was the first book that I read twice. And I almost never do that. I read it when I was 14 and I distinctly remember feeling sad when I finished the series. Would recommend reading it

4✨ This is the end to a dystopian series. There is 3 love triangles happening which I didn‘t like. Not that they were romantically involved because happily no more than kissing happens in this series. There is a plague happening, there is “the stillness”, and trying to figure out which side is “right”.

I thought it was good. The first book in the series is my favorite. I didn‘t mind the ending either.

This series in a whole turned out to be not for me. It was extremely slow paced for me. There wasn‘t a whole lot of character development either due to them being separated for majority of the book. I was so excited to read them when I first got my hands on them but turns out it just wasn‘t for me. At least this makes more space on shelves. #unhaul

I liked the book but I was very unsatisfied with the end. I feel that the author dragged the story on.

So good!! I am in love!

I‘ve been away from Litsy for a few days while I was in the hospital, but between doses of meds I finished Reached, the third book in the Matched series. Maybe it was just that I was impaired, but I thought this one actually had a few surprises, which was nice! A solid conclusion, and I appreciated the ambiguity of the ending.

These books were not great for recapping, so I have to just try to pick up and figure out what‘s going on. Once I did, it was ok. I listened to the audio and parts kept my interest and other parts didn‘t, so I did miss some things, but was able to follow the gist of what was happening. I think I had a similar reaction to the 2nd book, but I decided to finish the trilogy, so now I have

I was a little wrong about how this book would end. I usually don't like when YA romance novels get technical with their science, but this one was done very well. 10/10 would recommend dredging through the first two books to read this one.

1. Thursday. It is my TV night so even if my husband gets called into work I can chill with the cast of Grey's and enjoy a glass of wine.
2. This is tough. Music and books are life. Right now I feel James Taylor, Janis Joplin, Miranda Lambert, Norah Jones
3. Start packing the kids for their weekend trip.
4. Reached by Ally Condie

Finished this and the Audio at the same time.
I did not enjoy this book as much as the first 2, but I am still glad I read it. The ending was nicely done.

I couldn't stop reading, I fell in love with the first book of this serious and I am so glad I kept reading! Their were tear jerking parts and action and love, it had all the qualities of an amazing book!💙

Deffinetly a love story at this point

The last book of the series and I honestly have to say the worse. The whole book had a vibe of the author really didn't know what to do with the characters. She also threw in another point of view or her other lover. Right up to the end of the book she had a hard time picking between two boys which was just over-done. And the ending was less then impressing. She just didn't know how to end the series.

Third book in the series, third “So-So” from me. That‘s really the best description for them. This one did redeem the series somewhat (the 2nd book was the worst of the three) but still overall just a lukewarm story & execution.

It kind of redeemed itself from the bad book that is crossed. The ending left some loose ends but all in all, not a bad series.

THIS WAS AWFUL DO NOT READ! God it just annoyed me! Like I was not hooked and there was so much going on it was confusing. The series just kept getting worse and I wasn‘t enjoying it from the beginning but I just wanted to finish. There are way better dystopians and this could have been a cool idea but the author didn‘t live it up to its potential.

One of the best things about getting books from the library is thinking about the lives of others who have read the same exact copy. It's especially exciting when little notes are left inside for you to find! Great little note of encouragement left on a post it note in my current read.

Have you ever seen something similar or left a note for someone to find?

Sometimes the sounds of a sleeping baby are the best thing to read by... my girlfriends niece is such a cutie! #readingtime #booknerd #bookwormintraining

I love having The Office on in the background while I read because I have watched it so so many times. Do you have shows on while you read? #readinghabits

Decided to DNF this too.

Eh. I‘m glad I finished the series but I was pretty underwhelmed. I feel like nothing really happened besides world building.

This is the 3rd book I‘ve read while on holiday so far 😂 Wasn‘t too impressed with this to be honest, I was excited for it as it‘s the last in the trilogy but I thought the ending was a bit crap considering how much she stretched the story out!

Even though I think the author could of taken some of the concepts in this series further, it was intriguing and kept my attention. It was an easy read, and I would definitely recommend it to someone who loves the science-fiction/dystopian novels, even though this series was not as complex as some of the others in its genre.

The final book in this trilogy wrapped up a lot of questions I had throughout the series. There weren't any big twists, so I was a tad disappointed. However, overall, the series was fun to read and kept my interest. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You know you're not into the book if you don't take it home from school...😕 Thinking about a #DNF but I don't know since I've already abandoned this book once. And it's the LAST in the series!! What to do...

I've put this one off for a while now, but I think it's time! It's usually not me to stop mid-series, but number 3 is on its way to the Have Reads!

"If you let hope inside, it takes you over. It feeds on your insides and uses your bones to climb and grow. Eventually it becomes the thing that is your bones, that holds you together. Holds you up until you don't know how to live without it anymore. To pull it out of you would kill you entirely."

Not my fave series in this genre but glad I read it.

This part was better than the previous two//⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice ending to an interesting trilogy. Not exactly the type of book I have come to expect from dystopian books and left a lot of questions, but overall a fun read.

Enjoyable as an audiobook. This was a great finish to the trilogy. It really wrapped things up and explained a lot that was hinted at in the first two books. This book used three different readers to make the voices unique. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this idea of writing. It's always a collaboration.

The Pilot. The Poet. The Physic. Three points of view. I enjoyed the last book of the trilogy more than the first two. I wasn't quite sure how I was feeling about the first two, but this last one felt like the glue that was missing. All the chips fell in place, it definitely saved the trilogy. :)
