I went through my to-read shelf and bounced a couple ideas off Lisa (she seems to have read just about everything there is ;) ). Here are my top two suggestions as of right now:
The Knife of Never Letting Go -A dystopia set in a world where you can hear everyone's thoughts whether or not you want to. It was recommended to me by my good friend Claudia and her sister who is a high school English teacher. It has pretty good reviews on goodreads and the added bonus that Lisa hasn't read it. The main character is male, which is a change from most recently written dystopias (ie Hunger Games, Uglies, Divergent, etc). I have heard that it is rather dark and violent.
Bossypants -Lisa has read this one, but she said it's hilarious and good and that she is willing to reread it. We were talking about the Mindy Kaling book, and I realized that if I were to pick a book written by a female comedian to read, this would be it.
I'm excited that we're resurrecting the good old Hack n' Slash blog!

Is anyone interested in The Knife of Never Letting Go? I was on the hold list at the library and now it's waiting for me to pick it up. If people want to read it, just not necessarily first, I can return it. But if no one wants to read it, I'll just go ahead and read it on my own. :)
Definitely interested. We just need to pick a book to start with and run with it.
I'm totally interested too. Maybe after the Tina Fey?
