That's right, John Green fans. I'm happy to break this news to you if you haven't already heard. "The Fault in Our Stars" is being made into a movie! John Green is documenting the process as well. Learn more here: TFIOS The Movie. If you aren't familiar with John Green, he writes realistic young adult fiction that is incredibly witty and filled with heart. Yes, his books often contain sad events, but they are handled in a way that will make you fall in love with his characters.

On October 22, Veronica Roth's "Allegiant" (Book 3 in the Divergent series) will be released!
Have you heard of this fantastic series? If you haven't, now is the time to start reading it. The Hunger Games books have nothing on these. Here is my review of the first book, "Divergent":
After leaving her docile family and the safe world she grew up in-- but never truly felt a part of, Beatrice Prior attempts to forge her way into a cut-throat society of fearless thrill seekers. She joins one of five societal factions, known as the "Dauntless," and fights to win her place among the savage and the brave. On this journey, Beatrice, AKA Tris, finds her inner strength, new friends, romance, and some like-minded individuals who believe the Dauntless should use their courage and skills for more than intimidation. As things become tense among the other sectors of society, Tris must use her divergent way of thinking to escape tyranny and overthrow a plot to harm the innocent.
