RTW: Best Book Read in July

Today's Road Trip Wednesday which is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
This week's question is:  What is the best book you read during the month of July?

Well, this month I read many books including a self-published book, The Bridge of Deaths, I reviewed for the very sweet author, M.C.V Egan.  That being said it would have been difficult to answer this question had I not finished the book I was reading last night.  Delirium by Lauren Oliver was by far the best book I read during this month.  


This book was the perfect read and I was sucked in immediately.  The book is set in a dystopian society where love is deemed a disease.  This fact alone had me from the back cover blurb.  It is painful to imagine a world without love and seeing it written in a world so similar to our own is frightening.  I cannot wait to read the sequel, Pandemonium.  If you want a full review of this book I will probably be posting one on a later date so you can get a better picture.  

Anyway that is my favorite read this past month but I would love to hear what your's was.  I always look forward to seeing what other people are loving in the book world.

  1. I read the first chapter of that book and LOVED it, but haven't gotten around to actually buying it. Will have to add that to my list.

    Goodness. Whenever YA Highway does a "Best Book" Roadtrip, I always end up with about twenty TBR books to add to my HUGE pile.

    Thanks for sharing!

  4. I was not a huge fan of Delirium (I think it's because her first book Before I Fall was SO SO GOOD!), but um...Pandemonium? Hoo boy. That made up for everything that disappointed me in Delirium. And more!

  5. Delirium was a pretty good book, but Pandemonium was better. I'm looking forward to Requiem.
