Legend and Prodigy: Marie Lu

Wow, these books are so amazing. Such a unique idea and concept. I liked the writing style and the different POV from June to Day. The idea of American separating into two separate sovereign nations is so fascinating to me. I loved the rebels and the militarized nation. So much thought went into these books and I read them quick. They are Young Adult but I think they are appropriate for anyone 12+. Truly such an intriguing concept.

anticipating (books, books, books.)

This week two books come out.
I am really excited.
I also have a essay test for my Religion in America class.
Which doesn't sound like as much fun as reading my two new books.
(I pre-ordered them, book nerd status right here.)
Also I am reading Article 5 right now.
I will review it when I am finished.
According to Megan VB over at Guilty Pleasure Reading
the book is about a dystopian society, which is the trend right now.
I know some people get wishy washy about book trends,
but they come in waves and I embrace them.
I am not a book snob, I love all books! :) hahaha
The books that come out on Tuesday are:

Okay really though I am also writing.
Goal=4 chapters this week and finish my current chapter.
My sister Nikki/mock editor is quite enjoying the new project.

The Selection: Kiera Cass

Young Adult Fiction:

The Bachelor meets the Hunger Games.

America lives in a dystopian society built around a caste system.

The only way to change your number is to be famous or to marry up.

The prince has no way to find a wife.

So the society has created The Selection to accommodate him.

Girls enter a drawing and 35 are selected for a possible chance to become a princess. 

I truly liked this book. The reviews on it are mixed and that's to be expected.

I always try to read with a blank slate in mind.

I don't try to see if it is better or worse than a hugely famous series.

I get frustrated when a fifty year old doesn't like a YA book, I think really- you didn't like a book geared to fifteen year olds, I can't imagine why??? 

Anyway, off my rant.

I really loved the whole idea here, I thought it was smart and well thought out.

and I am Team Maxon. 

Just saying.
