Don't have a book store where I live (have to travel 35 mins)  The book is about a girl named Beatrice "Tris" Prior, whom lives in Chicago in the future and she has to choose among 5 predetermined factions ( Candor , Amity , Abnegation , Dauntless , and Erudite ) to define her identity for the rest of her life. The decision ends up so difficult since she discovers that she is a anomaly who does not fit into any 1 group (Very dangerous) and that the faction she lives in is not so perfect after all. This book hooks you...

Kissing Coffins (Vampire Kisses #2) Author: Ellen Schreiber Reviewed By: Courtney Published By: Harper Teen Release Date: May 1st 2007 Genre: YA/Paranormal Pages: 240 pages Not far from Dullsville, someone's lurking in the dark. . . . After meeting the handsome and shadowy Alexander Sterling, goth-girl Raven's dark world has a bright, new glow. But as in her favorite movie, "Kissing Coffins," Raven knows that love always has its complications, especially when Alexander has a big secret to guard. When Alexander suddenly disappears, Raven leaves Dullsville to begin a dangerous search to find him. Can she stay safe, no matter who--or what--she encounters on the way? This is book #2 of the Vampire Kisses series. I read it because I enjoyed the 1st and had to know what was going to happen. Besides the book is really short and just a nice book to enjoy in the sun. So sit down and enjoy a light read because this one is a great one to read....

 Vampire Kisses (Vampire Kisses #1) Authors: Ellen Schreiber Reviewed By: Courtney Published By: HarperTeen Release Date: August 5th 2005 Genre: YA/Paranormal Pages: 208 pages The mansion on top of Benson Hill has been empty and boarded up for years. But a new family has moved in. A family that never ventures out during the day. Who are these creepy people -- especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or rather, what are they? Could the town gossip actually be true? Are they vampires? Raven, who secretly covets a vampire kiss, both at the risk of her own mortality and Alexander's loving trust, is dying to uncover the truth. I found this book while surfing the Internet for other great YA books. What drew me in was the fact it was another vampire book. Now I love me some vampire stories, but I don't like the Twilight series so much...to me it's to far fetched (I still read them and I've seen the movies). This series is al...

  Delirium (Delirium #1) Author: Lauren Oliver Reviewed By: Courtney Published By: Harper Teen Release Date: January 01, 2011 Genre: YA/Dystopia Pages: 480 pages Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love . As always this is a book that was recommended by a friend. As most of my reads are recommendations. I gave this book 5 stars, I really love how it wasn't about "Vampires" or to fantasized. It was like I ...

His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift. Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.  Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind. I heard...
