The results are in - we'll be reading the Divergent series by Veronica Roth! This series is planned as a trilogy but only the first two books have been released. At our next meeting, we'll be discussing both Divergent and Insurgent. (The third book is tentatively titled Detergent - teehee!)
As an aside, there were two series that were runners-up: The Daughter of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce (Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen), and The Gentleman Bastard sequence by Scott Lynch (The Lies of Locke Lamora and Red Seas Under Red Skies). Both Stephanie and I loved the Tamora Pierce series, and I thought The Lies of Locke Lamora was a fantastic novel (but fair warning, there is a fair amount of violence and swearing, so it may not be for the faint of heart). If you are looking for some good books to read over the holidays, those are some great options!
We'll post soon about a meeting date/time - the meeting will be sometime in early January. Until then, best of luck with your papers and finals, and happy reading!
