Why I Read It: This was the final book chronicling America and Maxon's love story, so I had to find out how it ended.

Synopsis: The time has come for one winner to be crowned.

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

Review: A beautiful conclusion to America and Maxon's love story! I loved all of it! I loved America's compassion and her willingness to fight against the injustice of Maxon's father. I was especially happy to find out what both the Northern and Southern rebels truly wanted. All in all, a beautiful series with a beautiful happily ever after wedding! I cannot wait for "The Heir" to come and give us a bit more into the royal family's life!

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...
