Wither | 
pickThis was such an original book, I loved the dystopian feel to it, but some of the themes of this book are questionable, such an underage pregnancy from one of the side characters and polygamy. However the themes worked well to the book in a dark and twisted way. I love the plot and the pacing, the forbidden romance was sweet but I felt like something was missing between the two. I liked the MC but I found it hard to relate to her at times.
pickI actually really liked this series. I thought the plot of the story to be unique when it came out.

I‘m going to be terrible at this. But I‘ll give it my best. I‘ll tag @MidnightBookGirl No pressure to play, but I know how much we both love this cover!
pickI'm not sure how I feel about the ending of this book....but still give it 4/5. Starting the second in the series today!
pickI loved “The Glass Spare” and when I saw this dystopian series of Lauren DeStefano‘s, how could I resist? The law of unintended consequences is at play in this book as past genetic breakthroughs caused the next generations to die young – males at 25 and females at 20. Reminded me a bit of the Netflix series “Between”. Except there are older people (those that benefited) and geneticists work for a cure while girls must keep the human race going.
Happy First Day of Autumn!! This is my absolute favorite season and I am so happy that summer is over. This quote is one I always love going to around this time of year. Halloween, pumpkin spice macchiatos, hot cocoa, my birthday, and the changing of the leaves are just a few of my favorite parts of Autumn. What is your favorite season? 🍁🎃🍂☕️
pick[#BookReview] Wither by Lauren DeStefano. I really enjoyed this re-read of the beginning of this young adult dystopian series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So I started The Chemical Garden Series last night and just finished the third book. Now I am starting Cinder of The Lunar Chronicles. I loved The Chemical Garden Series. I hope I love this series.
so-soI actually almost bailed on this book. I had problems with the world-building, and how the characters handled certain problems. But somehow I also really wanted to know if the protagonist would succeed in her goal by the end of this book or if it would carry to the next volume. And I really liked how the author focuses on the sisterhood of female friendships. I doubt I'll pick up the rest, but happier I stuck it out than expected. Cool cover too.
Nap + reading = #familyaffair today as I get a few pages in while trapped under my Baby Dinosaur today. #AugustGrrrl @Cinfhen
“We'll squeeze every second that we can from our lives, because we're young, and we have plenty of years to grow. We'll grow until we're braver. We'll grow until our bones ache and our skin wrinkles and our hair goes white, and until our hearts decide, at last, that it's time to stop.”
“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
so-soInteresting premise. Girls die at 20 and men die at 25 but there are no other diseases.
#AprilBookChallenge2k17 :Best Cover Art
Couple days late with this post (oops), but I absolutely love the covers of these books. Each of the circles points out a clue about the plot of the book. I thought it was really clever!
pickDeStefano's debut novel is and, will always be one of my all time favourite YA novels. It is a wonderful story set in the near future with an incredible setting. As the main character, Rhine, grows more and more secrets are discovered. The beautifully written story will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 #readjanuary
pickI loved the premise of this book! The whole main concept was soooo interesting. It was a fast easy read with great writing. Definitely recommendable
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5
pickWhat a great YA fiction book! The cover off put my interest in reading at first, but there are so many twists and turns! Can't wait to start the second book in the trilogy!
