This review contains SPOILERS... So... I have been completely swept away by these books. They are so beautiful. I was very hesitant to read these books. I have been reading A LOT of dystopian novels lately. (For the last two years.) And I was beginning to feel like perhaps I had read all the good ones. I also, and I am ashamed to admit this judged these books by the original cover of Shatter Me . I know, I know! "Never judge a book by it's cover." But in the past I have read books that had crappy covers, and the contents inside matched the outside. And I guess I also didn't want to be disappointed by another book that others had raved about. I just finished Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge before I picked up Shatter Me. And let's just say my hopes were "Shattered" (pun intended) by the aforementioned novel. But I will get into that later if I end up doing a review for Cruel Beauty.  But, my goodness am I ever so happy that I decided to give it...

This review contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Allegiant. Do not read unless you have completely finished reading this book or you don't care about spoilers. If the latter: read at your own risk ;) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SO good, but SO sad. I struggled a lot to not sob uncontrollably at the end of this book. I had a feeling Veronica was going to end the book this way by writing it from both Tris and Tobias' perspectives. She needed the story to go on after Tris's death. I also knew that Tris would not let Caleb die. Tris was a selfless character and it would have been out of character for her to allow her own brother to sacrifice himself for the wrong reasons. The way Roth wrote Tris's death scene and Tobias's reaction to it was brilliant. It shook me to my core and I felt the emotions in my bones. For a book to have that kind of effect on me shows how truly amazing a writer Veronica Roth is. Bravo, Veronica Ro...

I think I am going to start reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver today again. I really enjoyed it the first time I read it and I am feeling a little down in the dumps and a good book can help to make things a little bit better.

I read this book in less than a day. This book is fantastic. It is one of the best and emotional books I have read in a very long time. The last book to have effected me like this was The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I was fighting tears through the last half of the book and in the last pages I was overwhelmed. I think it meant more to me because I, like Mia also have both my parents and a younger brother. If you are a music lover then you will love this book. Excellent, just excellent.

I'm a person who loves quotes, so I will probably be posting a lot.

And some book/ author quotes for your viewing or reading pleasure!!!

Hello blog world, my name is Brit. And I like books. I am writing to you from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). Books have always been a huge part of my life and I think reading is a big part of what makes Me me. When I was growing up I read a lot of  "The Bailey School Kids" books by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thorton Jones. They were always a lot of fun, full of imagination with titles like Witches Don't Do Backflips , Mermaids Don't Run Track , and Vampire's Don't Wear Polkadots . I also read the "Magic Tree House" books as well. I loved them because I could travel the world with my imagination and I learned all sorts of interesting facts while reading. The next book that really stands out in my mind was Holes  by Louis Sachar. I was always a student who when forced to read something always found it difficult to get through a book. But with Holes  I had no difficulty reading it at all. It was a book that I actually asked my parents to buy for me and...
