The Fault In Our Stars

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

As I read on a friend's tweet today.... John Green, you can break my heart any day. This novel is wonderfully written, but just know, you will cry and you will laugh. John Green is by far one of the best Young Adult writers of our time. You will fall in love with Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace as they battle illness and find love along the way.

Crossed by Ally Condie


Crossed is a wonderful sequel to MATCHED. Cassia's determination to find Ky shows her strength and willingness to risk everything. The secret that Ky keeps about Xander adds drama to the story. I enjoyed this book and can't wait for the final installment by Ally Condie! Wish I didn't have to wait until November 2012....

Matched

Matched by Ally Condie


I really enjoyed this novel by Ally Condie. --Seira Wilson summarizes as, "For Cassia, nothing is left to chance--not what she will eat, the job she will have, or the man she will marry. In Matched, the Society Officials have determined optimal outcomes for all aspects of daily life, thereby removing the "burden" of choice. When Cassia's best friend is identified as her ideal marriage Match it confirms her belief that Society knows best, until she plugs in her Match microchip and a different boy’s face flashes on the screen. This improbable mistake sets Cassia on a dangerous path to the unthinkable--rebelling against the predetermined life Society has in store for her. As author Ally Condie’s unique dystopian Society takes chilling measures to maintain the status quo, Matched reminds readers that freedom of choice is precious, and not without sacrifice."
