Happy March! I don’t know if I should do this, but I’m going to, anyway, because I need help deciding. Graceling is one of those books that leave you baffled as to what to read next. So, what I’m going to do is put up teasers for the three books I’m considering picking up next. Tell me, from the teasers, which one you think would be most interesting. To be fair, I’ll pick a teaser off the same page for all three.
From The Seems: the Split Second, by John Hulme and Michael Wexler. page 25:
On the saem Mission where he had squred off against Thibadeau and fixed a nasty Glitch in Sleep, Becker had also made a friend named Jennifer Kaley. She had been scheduled to receive a Dream that night — a Dream to help her cope with a difficult time in her life — but Becker had accidentally destroyed it.
From To Catch a Mermaid, by Suzanne Selfors, page 25:
On their way back to class, Boom and Winger passed the girl in the green sweater. She was taking very small steps toward Principal Prunewallop’s office and sniffling.
From Bee Season, by Myla Goldberg, page 25:
Besides, he really wants to be able to walk around for hours naked from the waist up, even outdoors, and not think about it. “You’re not listening,” Eliza complains, tossing a sock in Aaron’s general direction but hitting him in the left nipple, an unintentional bull’s-eye.
So, which one should I read?
The roundup is as Should Be Reading.
The Book Nut 
I’d go for Bee Season. Sounds like some fun interplay there.

I think my favorite teaser is To Catch A Mermaid, but Bee Season is the runner-up! The first one seems like there is a lot going on in that teaser that I can’t make head nor tail about, so I’ll leave the decision up to you!P.S. Great way to choose the next book 😛

The 3rd one sounds most fun. The first one sounds intriguing – they can order up dreams for people? The 2nd one sounds like YA which is not something I’m too interested right now so it isn’t doing anything for me.
