Lauren Oliver brings a zesty, fresh, dystopian novel to the publishing world in her new book "Delirium" starring main protagonist Magdalena Haloway. With each chapter starting with an excerpt from the Book of Shhh, Lauren does an incredible job of establishing a futuristic world where love is viewed as a disease. Magdalena, or Lena for short, is a teenager who is about to be cured forever from having to experience amor nervosa deliria, the love disease. In the beginning, she counts down the days until her curing. But when a fluke cuts her cure short and reschedules it, Lena is in for a whirlwind when she meets Alex. If love is a disease, why does it feel so good? Maybe Lena understands her mother's suicide a little better after all. In this spellbinding part one of Lauren Oliver's trilogy, readers will not hesitate to purchase the next two books from the very first page.

This was SUCH a good book! You know the story of Goldilocks. But this one is different! These dinosaurs, mama dinosaur, papa dinosaur, and some other dinosaur visiting from Norway, set up a trap for a girl to eat. So here comes Goldilocks falling into the trap! Except it doesn’t go the way the Dino’s want it to! I was cracking up while reading this, and so will you. I give it five stars.

Geek Girl

By Holly Smale

Geek Girl, by Holly Smale, is one of the most enjoyable realistic fiction books I have read. I have also read the other books in this series. They're all great. Harriet accepted a modeling job for a huge fashion industry. However, she is lies to her step-mom, Annabel in order to keep the job, because Annabel does not think that Harriet should be modeling. Harriet also lies to her best friend Nat because Nat's lifelong dream was to model, and Harriet feels like she is stealing Nat's dream. I like this book quite a bit. I love how many strange little facts there are strewn throughout the book, and would definitely read other books by Holly Smale. Geek Girl is well written, clever, and very enjoyable to read. I would highly recommend this book to all. I think that it can help people realize that even when you feel on your own, you probably aren't.
