Recently I found myself sucked into the world of literature. I rediscovered my passion for young adult novels with thanks to the Hunger Games blockbuster that has taken over in the last month or two. While the Hunger Games had been recommended to me a number of times since in was first published in 2009, I was shy to take it on. A book about teens in a fight to the death? Didn't sound like my kind of thing. But finally I decided to read it just before the movie came out and I'm really glad I did.

Of the books I devoured over these last weeks, I just finished a truly phenomenal one - Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver. It's a real stand out and I needed to share.
