Red Rising by Pierce Brown – Red Rising #1

I will admit that I can be a book snob at times. When I first saw this book, I really liked the way it looked and its general premise seemed interesting. But as soon as I read a couple pages and realized it took place in space, I dropped it and decided not to pursue…

The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow

Recently, I’ve been feeling as if I’m too old to read teen fiction. It may have been because one of my friends scoffed at the fact that I was reading this novel, saying that I’m no longer a teen and shouldn’t be reading YA fiction. Well, to that I say, NO WAY! I love teen…

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

I fell in love with this book when I read it in grade 11. Rereading it now, it hasn’t lost a bit of its eloquence or horror. If you don’t read anything else by this author, read this! Offred lives in Gilead, a military dictatorship that used to be known as the United States of…
