I actually got suggested it several times now, I just have this picture in my head of how the movies are and i painted a picture of the book maybe being tacky? which obviously likely is not the case, based on the fact that they made a movie on it in the first place! Is the books better u think? I will check out Battle royale too for sure! 

Im totally new to books btw! Dystopias i read so far is 1984 by George Orwell and i just finished the second book in a series called rød og blå (red and blue) which is based on the handmaids tale! 
Yes! Please read the books, the movies are great, have a great design and sound track I like them, but Katniss was whitewashed, and the last two movies had a lot of details (really important details) for the development of the narrative and characters that they decided to exclude when they adapted. An the narrative on the book are really immersive, you gonna feel some character's deaths more in the books than the movies. So yes, read the books , and be prepared haha 

One tip wehn you read Battle Royale: write the name of everyone before start to read the book. And stay with a pencil and the list of names next to you, you'll need to risk their names when people stars to die

Ever I didnt liked Divergent and Maze Runner you should take a look on then, but only in the books stay away from the movies THEY ARE SO BAD ADAPTED AND DISAPPOINTG UGH

Oh if you liked 1984 so I think you're going to enjoy Farenheit 451. I never read any of them (I need tbh) but a lot of people relate them and talks really well about!

Oh YES I totally forgot handmaids tale! I started watch the series, but didnt fnish, I really want to read this book! Btw if you like that I'd recommend you The Power by Naomi Alderman and Herland by Charlotte Perkins

I never heard about Red and Blue, I dont think its gonna be lauched in my country soon, but I'll look foward it in english. Btw who worte these books? I'll add on my list here! Btw thank yu for the suggestion! 
Oh, why do i feel like i heard that before.. farenheit 451! i need to check it out

I also neither watched maze runner or divergiant, so i might be more posetive on reading those! 

Yea it's only in danish currently as far as i know, we are still waiting for the 3rd book i think, so maybe in the future! The author is Nicole Boyle Rødtnes!
Some people say some situations is to close of an adaption of the handmaids tale, but as i haven't watched nor read those yet i can't base an opinion based on that. 
I hope you could enjoy them more than me!!! 
Wow only in danish, I think I'll need to wait a little longer so. I just searched here and translated the description and I REALLY WANTS TO READ THAT BOOK, its look so interesting! 

I cant say about that because i didnt finish the series even red the book lol

Btw I hope enjoy reading these books! You have a great list to start reading 
Just try to balance some readings, reding some light books btw them, I think some of them are really heavy when you decide to read all the series without stop haha

Oh i wrote them up on last page i believe, the underground railroad, worlds luckiest woman and butterfly in frost. 
Worlds luckiest woman is about class, the underground railroads is about slavery and racism and butterfly in frost is a romance

Got a new one yesterday and I'm so obsessed with the cover! Did anyone read it? 




But I'm currently reading "Pride an prejudice" in this really pretty german edition. I can read Jane Austen over and over again.

I also have a question, english is not my native language and in german there is this shortcut "SUB" which means pile of unread books. Is there something with a similar meaning in english?

I would love to host a thread on VP where you get motivated to lower your pile of unread books, you can read books for challenges, you can track how many books you read and so on. Maybe there even is a thing like that and someone could tag me?

Loving all the convo that's been going on here!

I finished Cast in Firelight - 5 stars for that one.

Just started Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco. I've heard so many great things about this book so hopefully I'll enjoy it.

I'll try to explain it better

Most of book loving people have a lot of books which they didn't read so far the so called TBR (thank you @Moss ) :d I would create a thread called "lower your TBR challenge" and everyone who would like to participate, trys to read more. You don't have to actually be lower at the end of the year, it's just for the people who like to read more. 

To actually read more, there will be lists of challenges like: read a book with a red cover, read a bestseller, read a book with 700 pages and so on.

At the beginning you tell your reading goal for the year and then you can fill out this form: 

TBR at the beginning:
Current TBR:
books already read: x/ (reading goal for this year) so maybe: 5/50 
current challenge: 
challenges already done: 
books read in month x

You will then post as many updates as you like! 

Does anybody like the idea? Also please tell me if there already is something like this on vp, I don't want to steal somebody elses idea by mistake. :d I already participate in a german forum in a challenge like that and it's so much fun!

This sounds like too much preassure for me, as I don't find reading fun if I preassure myself, but it's a fun idea that I think a lot of people might love if they already read a lot 💚
