Yes, I'm here. Abject apologies. I meant to do this last week.
I subscribe to a couple of free and reduced price e-book newsletters. A lot of times the books are available for more than one program, but I usually order them through the Kindle app. Just to save space.
So, I've really liked two of the recent books I've read. "Monument 14" is a cross between "Lord of the Flies", and "The Mist" (with no mutant insects). I really liked it. It's about a bunch of kids who get stuck inside a store when a disaster happens. My only complaint is that it's a trilogy. I have nothing against trilogies in general, it's just that I wanted a resolution! I'd like to read the others.
The second book I'm reading is "Banded." It's a lot like "Divergent," but not quite as sinister. At least not yet. I'm still reading it. Like I said, it's a lot like Divergent, but it's good so far. There's also a concept in the story that could be interpreted as being similar to the film "In Time." The story is about children who must leave their families at 16 and live in different groups they are screened for.
