It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Book Journey!
So now that Bout of Books is over, I still have another book that I didn't get to finish last week. Also I'm still reading the book for this months book club discussion. So those are mainly the two books I'll be reading this week.
Book Club
What was once the
western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually
at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the
Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy
being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles.
Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted
criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From
very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths -
until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the
prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a
race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's
death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of
what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their
country will go to keep its secrets.
Book to Finish A Series (the one I didn't finish during Bout of Books)
Ember Miller and Chase
Jennings are ready to stop running. After weeks spent in hiding as two
of the Bureau of Reformation’s most wanted criminals, they have finally
arrived at the safe house, where they hope to live a safe and quiet
existence.
And all that’s left is smoking ruins.
Devastated
by the demolition of their last hope, Ember and Chase follow the only
thing left to them—tracks leading away from the wreckage. The only sign
that there may have been survivors.
With their high profile, they
know they can’t stay out in the open for long. They take shelter in the
wilderness and amidst the ruins of abandoned cities as they follow the
tracks down the coast, eventually finding refugees from the destroyed
safe house. Among them is someone from Chase’s past—someone he never
thought he’d see again.
Banding together, they search for a place
to hide, aiming for a settlement a few of them have heard about…a
settlement that is rumored to house the nebulous organization known as
Three. The very group that has provided Ember with a tiny ray of hope
ever since she was first forced on the run.
Three is responsible
for the huge network of underground safe houses and resistance groups
across the country. And they may offer Ember her only chance at telling
the world her story.
At fighting back.
So there you have it, what are you reading this week?
