Genre: Dystopian

Publishing Date: April 23, 2013

Rating: 4.5

Why I Read It: I wanted to continue with the Selection series.

Synopsis: The Selection began with thirty-five girls.

Now with the group narrowed down to the six Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's heart is fiercer than ever—and America is still struggling to decide where her heart truly lies. Is it with Maxon, who could make her life a fairy tale? Or with her first love, Aspen?

America is desperate for more time. But the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want—and America's chance to choose is about to slip away.

Review: I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this book. But there were some things that were beginning to aggravate me to end. Firstly, I was sick and tired of America's wishy-washy attitude when it came to her feelings for either Maxon or Aspen. I just wish she would just pick one and get it over with. Secondly, I was still confused on what either the Northern or Southern rebels really wanted. All these attacks and no motives to explain. Strange. And lastly, I could not get past the fact the for the last half of the book that America kept debating whether or not she had what it takes to be a princess. I admittedly will say that I liked the first book more than this one, but I still enjoyed this.

Five Tips to Get Out of a Reading Slump

Hey fellow readers!

Without further preamble, here are five tips to out of a reading slump. 1. Do Something Else: Sometimes after a really good/emotional/powerful book, it's easy to fall into a reading slump.

Get a Change of Scenery: Reading in the same spot all the time can cause a reading slump. So go find a new spot to read! Be it in the kitchen, the living room, or outside. Reading in a different place can be very beneficial to keep from falling into a slump. 3. Find a New Genre to Read: When reading the same genre over and over again, it causes a reading slump due to reading th...

Delirium

Title: Delirium (Delirium #1) Author: Lauren Oliver Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Published: February 2012 Medium Read In: Paperback Pages: 441 Rating: 4 Why I Read It: I was curious to what all the good ratings were about. Summary: Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't. Review: This book reminded me a lot like Matched by Allie Condie, in which the government systems are slightly alike. The only difference is that love still exists in Matched whereas it does not exist in this book. I found it difficult to relate to Lena in anyway until the end of the novel. Lena...
