Conditional love is: I will only love you if you love me. Unconditional love is: I will love you even if you do not love me. It’s really easy to love passing strangers unconditionally. They demand nothing of you. It is really hard to love people unconditionally when they can hurt you.
Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking (via wordsnquotes)
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
Scarlet is Book 2 of the Lunar Chronicles Series. I’m going to be honest I’m usually not a fan of book series that have introduce a completely new heroine and tell the story from her point of view. Most of the time I feel like that should be a book outside the series,but in this case it works flawlessly. You don’t just get all of Scarlet’s POV, it give you more of a “meanwhile in Scarlet’s life” type of feel even though the main storyline is centered around Cinder. Don’t get me wrong I love Scarlet and her Big Bad Wolf and their story is just as important in Cinder’s life as anything else. Scarlet in my opinion is another kickass heroine with a bigger heart than she likes to admit. However her and Cinder are completely different characters that have a lot of the same values. But they are by no means perfect and I think that is what makes them so easy to connect with as an audience.
Cinder by Marrissa Meyers
So I just started the Lunar Chronicles series, but I’m already a huge fan. Cinder is definitely a fresh look on Cinderella. Cinder isn’t your typical fairytale, yes she falls in love with a prince but it wasn’t one of those Disney, one-night-stand, love-at-first-sight romances. Cinder for one is a sarcastic heroine that does everything she can for those she cares about. And the best twist yet is that Cinder is a cyborg and…Asian?Cinder takes place in what I like to call new age china. If you like a little Scifi in your fairytale then by all means start on this series! I’m telling you right now the next 2 books are awesome.
Ok so I know I haven't posted in a while but "The 5th Wave" by Rick Yancy and a few other books were worth it. So "The 5th Wave" kind of does have a YA meet Residents Evil feel. If you thought Hunger Games was violent then you probably shouldn't read this book. Buuuut since I like Hunger Games and Residents Evil I felt that this book was pretty great. 1) the heroine is badass 2) she doesn't become a love-struck idiot when some guy finds her 3) the multiple POVs definitely serve a purpose for the reader as a source of information and timing. I am however very afraid of what they are going to do with the movie. The book was really good but sometimes book to screen translations end badly.

5 Books to Spook You in Springtime
Some readers are in it for the creep factor. You prefer goose bumps to giggling, consider having your heart race from turning the page adequate cardio, and Halloween is your jam. We know you’re eager for October but in the meantime we’ve rounded up 5 YA novels to sustain you…evaluated by how many lights you’ll need to keep on while reading.
1. Between the Devil and The Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke
A dark-haired boy who takes naps in the sun, who likes coffee, who kisses you in a cemetery… who makes you want to kiss back, and might be the devil.
Creep factor: download the flashlight app and confirm that your phone is at 100% charge.
2. Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma
Secrets, sisters, and a corpse found in the river.
Creep factor: acquire multiple nightlights, like the kind you had when you were four. Ask your mom where they are. She’ll know.
3. The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson
Noted: moving to London when someone is mimicking Jack the Ripper’s murder spree is not the best idea.
Creep factor: install a skylight above all possible chairs, couches, and beds you might read this in.
4. Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff
Summer is supposed to be relaxing, but that’s difficult when someone is killing girls in your neighborhood and your best friend’s ghost is haunting your bedroom.
Creep factor: ensure that all lights in the building are on; disregard energy bill.
5. The Merciless by Danielle Vega
Five teenage girls in a basement. Two trying to escape. One exorcism.
Creep factor: read exclusively outdoors in an open space at noon when the forecast is 75 and sunny.
What books would you add to this list?
So I have just finished reading Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I have to say I am impress, the book was pretty good and definitely had that distopian feel we all love. This book is Hunger Games meets Mortal Instruments without being too predictable. The characters are interesting and dynamic, which is something I hope will continue in further novels. If you like the YA genre, this is a great read!
I always irrationally feel betrayed when I’m late finding out that an author I like has a new book. Like I should have been personally told.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is actually a pretty good book. At some points you feel like you are missing some closure, but the character evolution keeps you reading. I consider it a good read for all age groups but if you must know the main character is about 10-12 for a lot of the book. However there are some heavy moral issues that are being called into question.
YA book cover design had a strong year in 2014 and here are some of the designs we saw and fell in love with!

Do Not Disturb
this broke my heart
like he looks at her like she’s his little sister
and they’re playing some game
Can I have the AU where the two that survived were Rue and Thresh? Imagine Rue finds Thresh right away and they team up and Thresh makes a pact with her — he promises if he can get them both to the end that he will make sure she is the one who goes home. Where he says, “Fuck them and their games. I’m going to protect you, little bird. I’m going to get you home.”
Watch the gamekeepers try to kill them right away because of what Thresh says. Because he’s fighting, not to win, but to protect Rue from the games. But the sponsors keep sending her and Thresh food and medicine and the Districts too because watching Thresh carry Rue through fire and get injured protecting her is too much to bear.
Can I have the AU where it’s Thresh and Rue with the nightlock, after the mutts attack and Cato is dead and it’s Thresh about to take the poison and send her home? But it’s Rue who won’t let her ‘big brother’ go alone after so many already died protecting her (imagine Katniss dies protecting her) and they decide, okay, together and…
Rue has always been the Mockingjay, but imagine that she lived.
^^^ “RUE has always been the Mockingjay, but imagine that she lived.”
Sometimes all you can do is sit back and watch the world crumble.

I don't know if you were ever a part of the Westerfeld craze but it was a pretty good series! "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld is a dystopian society that values beauty above all else. But of course one girl, our Heroine, figures out the problems of her society. Not everything is as it seems. Follow Tally on her journey through perfection and her finding herself. Book summary: Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license - for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have fun.
Pretty Little Devils by Nancy Holder is like a modern day Nancy Drew, but instead of solving mysteries she is writing them. Everything was fine until people start showing up dead. You receive mysterious and creepy messages. Can you figure out who it is or will you be next? Check it out if you are interested in high school horror.
