|So, here’s the situation. If you followed TLT last year, you know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Delirium series by Lauren Oliver. I woke up in the middle of the night and wrote here a love letter. I dragged my family across the city to meet author Lauren Oliver. Christie went to ALA Annual […]
Legend by Marie Lu was a pretty unconventional choice of reads for me in the sense that it has some pretty strong romantic undertones (you know… actual human feelings.) But I needed to pull the car out of the ditch and read something with some emotional depth rather than just for a good story. Fortunately […]

Her olive skin shows her age, creasing in fine lines across her face, the heaviest lines around her eyes. To her right sits Alaster Krane, the European president, known for […]

|I love speculative fiction so much that when I started Month9Books, I added the commonly misunderstood term to our tagline: “speculative fiction for teens and tweens where nothing is as it seems.” Those of you who are genre fiction fans, and in particular speculative fiction fans, may already know what it means. But for those […]
Last week was Dystopian Week over at Random Buzzers, the amazingly cool website for Random House. Don’t say I didn’t tell you because I did: I tweeted it and put it up on the TLT FB wall multiple times. The Random Buzzers website and tweets focused on the topic of dystopian fiction, which you may […]
