Delirium - Book Review by Mary C.

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

In the world of Delirium love is a disease, so when you become 18 you get the vaccine for it. When you turn 18 and after you receive your vaccine, a committee decides who your husband or wife will be and they also decide if you go to college or not and what your degree is. Lena is a soon to be 18 year old who wants the vaccine more than anyone else. She 'surprisingly' meets a guy who's 19 and has already been given then vaccine. Nonetheless stuff happens and she falls in love. I like this book, I wish it had more world-building because I found the whole love is a disease part very interesting. The romance between the two characters were so-so. I wish there was more romance between the two but there wasn't. I would not read this book again, but I would recommend it to others.

The Iron Queen - Book Review by Michelle C.

The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

This book is the third and final installment into this series, and by far my favorite. It kept me wanting to read and read, and never put it down. I was disappointed when I got to the last page and it was over.
