Post Hunger Games Euphoria

Girl on fire!
Since I'm still coming down from the adrenaline rush of seeing the Hunger Games movie last night and therefore clinging to all things Hunger Game-y in nature, I wanted to share YALSA's The Hub blog's salute to said book/movie.

There's some excellent "if you like the Hunger Games, then you might also like...." suggestions in the blog post, in addition to an awesome analysis of the trends in YA lit sparked by the book. Yay for dystopian teen romance!

I'd love to hear what people thought of the movie, so let the comments commence!

Book Review! Dead Is So Last Year by Marlene Perez


Another book review written by one of our teen library patrons! Oh happy day...


Dead Is So Last Year by Marlene Perez

This book was very enjoyable. The beginning was a little slow, but around the second chapter it started getting good. It's a typical girl likes a guy and drama, but towards the middle of the book it starts getting twisted...

If you like this book, you might also like Dead Is a State of Mind or Dead Is the New Black by Marlene Perez

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
