(YA)Y! books: February 2013
http://yay-books.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Confessions of a voracious reader. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. This science fiction/dystopia mix was a incredible fast read because the pace of the book just goes and goes and there is no stopping! I found it a little hard to picture the world as a series of intertwined strings that can be moved and rewoven, but really liked the concept overall. Other things I liked: the names in the book were all so creative! Sunday, February 24, 2013. The Off Season (Catherine Gilbert Murdock). DJ’s life is loo...

http://yay-books.blogspot.com/2013/09/fangirl-rainbow-rowell.html
Confessions of a voracious reader. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. Things I loved about this book:. This book takes place freshman year of college. What's more life-changing than freshman year of college? It's wonderful to read a book set here with all the trails and tribulations without it being this-will-be-life-changing preachy. Fanfiction. I loved the interspersed bits of fandom, especially Cath's own fanfic. Rainbow Rowell knows how to write a good romance! Things I didn't love:. Its fun to find reco...

http://yay-books.blogspot.com/2013/09/never-fade-alexandra-bracken.html
Confessions of a voracious reader. Tuesday, September 3, 2013. Never Fade (Alexandra Bracken). In this sequel to The Darkest Minds. This book was just as wonderful and heart-pounding as the first. Ruby is thrown into a position of leadership, based on her ability to control others’ minds. But she is still frightened of that power, and the corruption she has seen it create. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book! Also, follow Alex on Tumblr. Because she's the greatest. In the Best Worlds.
