My To-Be Read List is a meme hosted by Because Reading is Better Than Real Life where at the beginning of the month visitors can choose which book I’ll be reading this month. On the first saturday of a month the poll will be up, then on the second saturday of the month I’ll announce the book that won and on the last saturday of the month I’ll post my review of the book.
Last week you could vote to help me decide which of three books I would read this month. The winner is: Empowered: Agent (Empowered #1) by Dale Ivan Smith! I’ll also try to read the prequel novella to this one.
The votes were really close this time as you can see below:
– Empowered: Agent (Empowered #1) by Dale Ivan Smith – 40 %/ 8 votes
– Playing House by Laura Chapman – 30%/ 6 votes
– The Retreat (The After Trilogy #1) by Kelly St. Clare – 30%/ 6 votes
The Winner
Empowered: Agent (Empowered #1)
by Dale Ivan Smith
Blurb:
The world says those with superpowers are either heroes or villains. But what if you’re both?Mathilda Brandt isn’t the angry, out-of-control teenager she was before she got out of jail. She’s hungry for a chance at a normal life, but when a gang threatens her sisters, she has no choice but to use her illegal superpower to protect them.
A secretive government agency gives her a choice: go back to prison for life, or infiltrate a notorious super-villain group in order to stop a psychotic Empowered. To save her city, her family, and herself, Mat must become the last thing she ever wanted to be again: a criminal.
Well I totally missed the poll so I didn’t vote. This one does look good. I hope it’s a good read for you 🙂

She’s gonna use her illegal super powers to help her sister. That does sound like a fun book. Hope you end up liking it.

Thanks, me too! I think it sounds interesting how superpowers are regulated in this world.
I don’t remember which one I voted for, but I think it was this one? Either way, it looks good!

It really sounds like a good one :). I am starting the novella after my current read.
I like the premise of this book and the cover, but I don’t read much YA, so this probably wouldn’t end up on my pile. I’d love to see your review, though. Happy Saturday, Lola! Hugs…

I am not sure actually if this is YA, I think in the prequel novella she’s a teenager, but not in this one I think. I’ll be able to say for sure once I’ve read it 🙂
This sounds so good! I can’t wait to read your thoughts on it, Lola. I may have to read it too. 🙂 I hope you have a terrific week!

I am really curious about this one :). I managed to get this one when it was only $0.99, the author sometimes runs a discount for it.
I think I missed the voting. I do like the looks of this one. I hope you enjoy.
