I can't wait to dig into Requiem!!!! The FINAL installment in the Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver! It's going to extremely epic, I can FEEL it. *Spoilers* > Especially since the hugely enticing love triangle going on between the three major characters, Julian, Lena, and Alex! :)

 I have no idea what this book is about, but I am READY for it. It's THICK and take a good, long look at that cover! :) Brilliance. Pure brilliance.

Mini August Book Haul - 2012

The time has come...and I know I haven't finished all of July's Must Haves but hey, I working on it. It's a hassle when you're mixing reading with writing.. (Shh! Don't tell anyone!)

Alrighty. So August has come as the most sizzling month of the year--100+ degrees here in dry-as-hell (literally) Austin, Texas. But with the crazy weather comes crazy good YA books! That's right! Here is my brand new list of my epically small haul that'll make you jolt with excitement!

Four savage-like and orphaned boys compete for the part of impersonating a runaway prince. Who will win? Who will fall back into a life filled with stealing and conning to survive?

A smart boy is asked to join a military academy to be used as the government's weapon. Sounds like a futuristic adventure to me!

Anyone already have these books? How have you enjoyed them? Anything in particular to look forward to? I can't wait to dive into these reads! August, here we come!

July Book Haul - 2012

Being associated with Book People's Teen Press Corps where I constantly am in control of Advanced Reader's Copy novels is definitely a HUGE perk for an obsessed YA reader such as myself!

The Delirium Trilogy - Review

I'm jumping off the walls for this brand new fantastic dystopian trilogy that's flying off the shelves faster than I can type this new post!


Curious to know what this bestseller is about?


Delirium, the first installment in this exhilarating series, is focused on Portland, Maine in the future where the government has declared love "amor deliria nervosa" a disease and all humans must get "treated" for it once they turn eighteen years old.


Delirium seeps into the composed--at first--mind of Lena Halloway and the procedure that's nearing her by the day. During this countdown, we learn about her world, her living with aunts and uncles that cannot love, and this obsession society has with NOT getting this disease. Along this journey, she gets a change of mind and meets a "cured" boy who will alter her life as she knows it and it'll force her to make grave decisions about the future she thought others had total control over! 


Elements of the past with her dead mother and flashes of the her possible future haunt this young teenager as character development is key and apparent! An incredible and long read that will leave your fingers permanently clamped to each page!


But I won't stop here. The second book in the trilogy, titled "Pandemonium" with a fiery cover, continues this epic journey on what it means to fight for love and fight for the freedom! It's tear-jerking and includes tons of page-flipping action that has your stomach churning and fingers turning for more!


I give Delirium five out of five beans and Pandemonium four and a half!


Stay connected because the third and final installment in this defiant series is heading our way! 

x5 & x4.5!

a note to the Reader Beans of the world...

You may feel a little lonely. Like you're the only person in your family, school,--no: WORLD, that reads.


But now you don't have to worry. Because you're just like me! Forever tied to the strings of words that play out on the endless pages of fantasy, romance, and riveting YA books!


Readers are unique. Readers are special! Readers haven't fully succumbed to the internet-obsessed generation we're in. While there's nothing wrong with Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, and other social mega websites, there's also NOTHING wrong with fishing out a couple of dusted, old J.R.R. Tolkien picks or the more current Lauren Oliver's dystopian thrill Delirium. 


Read between the lines! And discover the world of epic and tragic and everything in between!


I read, I review. We all read for Reader Bean! :)
