We had a fun time talking about this enchanted book
UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn:
Mina Grime is unlucky,
unpopular and uncoordinated; that is until she saves her crush's life on
a field trip, changing her High School status from loser to hero
overnight. But with her new found fame brings misfortune in the form of
an old family curse come to light. For Mina is a descendant from the
Brothers Grimm and has inherited all of their unfinished fairy tale
business which includes trying to outwit a powerful Story from making
her its' next fairy-tale victim.
To break the fairy tale curse on her
family and make these deadly occurrences stop, Mina must finish the
tales until the very Grimm end.
Currently,
UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn is available for free download at Amazon.com
Also, it was fun to see those that made it to see Divergent in the theater on March 22nd. Following the movie some of us were able to make it to lunch at PhoOne across the street.

Tuesday, April 22 at 7 PM.
Also, from our March discussion, book selections on deck to read:
Inferno by Dan Brown
In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol,
Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this
riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his
highest-stakes novel to date.
In the heart of Italy, Harvard
professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world
centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary
masterpieces . . . Dante’s Inferno.
Against this
backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an
ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret
passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic
poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust . . .
before the world is irrevocably altered.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
"If you ain't scared, you ain't human."
When
Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his
name. He's surrounded by strangers--boys whose memories are also gone.
Outside
the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless,
ever-changing maze. It's the only way out--and no one's ever made it
through alive.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.
This book was also in a movie preview prior to Divergent. The Maze Runner is set for release September 19, 2014.
