Because the movie came out a few months ago, I figured it was time that I re-read The Giver, since I generally like to read the book before I see the movie, and I haven’t read this particular book since I was in 5th grade. I remembered liking it then, so I figured that muchRead More
Mockingjay
Because the trailer just released, and the movie comes out in November, I decided to re-read Mockingjay, just because. I’m the type of person who likes to re-read books anyway, and this just seemed like the perfect excuse. And let me tell you, it’s still just as good the third (or fourth?) time you readRead More
A Dose of Dystopia
I guess I’ve been on a bit of a dystopia kick lately, given that is one of my favorite genres, probably.

The Matched Trilogy is one that has been on my to-read list for a while, and since I found all three at the library, I figured that it was finally time to check them off my list. Matched, the first book is set in a future where the Society decides everything that you do; whoRead More
