Hey! I know that I've been a sucky blogger lately, and I just wanted to give you a quick update on what has happened.
So the book I finished recently is The Maze Runner by James Dashner, and expect a review soon. Still reading DOBAS, plus Dear Teen Me.
Anyway, also wanted to say that Midnight Frost, book 5 in the Mythos Academy series, comes out tomorrow! I am so pumped for this book! Be excited!
Have to go, but I hope to be back soon!

Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver
I really loved this trilogy. Oliver has such a beautiful writing style that really brought everything to life for me and her characters were amazing. I also really like that she took a chance with Requiem and gave it an open ending, which I thought suited this trilogy well as far as endings go.
In this world, love is treated as a deadly disease that can kill you, and when you turn eighteen, you are operated on and given the cure for this disease. Our main character, Lena, ends up falling in love in this world where it is so dangerous to do so. I loved the premise and was not disappointed.
I'm sorry this review is so short, but I tried to keep it spoiler-free and I have to go in about a minute! Maybe I'll do a spoilery review...i don't know
I give this trilogy 5/5 stars.

Penguin's First To Read program
So, Penguin (the book publishing company) has a program where every month, they have a certain amount of ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies, see the post before this for a brief explanation) that if you are a member for this program, called First To Read, you can put in requests for these ARCs, or even if you have the points for it, guarantee yourself one of the ARCs. Cool, right?
I'm leaving the link above to their website, you should really check it out! AND even if you don't win the ARC, you still have access to exclusive experts and some other cool things!

ARCs
I am taking a minute (and a post) to talk about an ARC, or an advanced reader copy. I don't believe all books have these. They are printed before the finished copy is 100% done, and the publishers will give some away for review, and will also give the authors some, who will usually host a giveaway for them.
ARCs will most likely have a sign on them saying what they are.

For Not A Drop To Drink, the side image has the release date on the top of the spine.

For Antigoddess, there is a circle on the front of the cover.

Across The Universe by Beth Revis
A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder.
Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.
Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone-one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship-tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.
Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.

I have finished the whole trilogy, but for now, due to a time crunch I will only be reviewing the first book.
Non-Spoilery
I gave this book four stars. I really enjoyed the world building and didn't have many questions about why things were the way they were, and trust me, they were answered in the second and third books. Amy was really defiant and rightfully questioned everything that was different in this new environment she was in after she was melted and woken. She seemed like the strong one in this couple, and it was refreshing to see the heroine take the lead. Elder was hesitant to question Eldest, and understandably so, however, I feel like he could have argued less with Amy. The whole sci-fi idea of this spaceship, Godspeed, traveling to this new and pretty much unknown planet with the shipborns and the Sol-Earth people frozen beneath (I am almost positive that they call our Earth Sol-Earth) the main levels of the ship. Also, the mystery aspect of this book was really interesting and although I had a list of suspects (with the person who actually did it on the list) I was very surprised to find out the reason the frozens (like Amy) were being unplugged. If you haven't read this book, you should! Even if sci-fi or mystery aren't your things, like they aren't mine, you will still find yourself really liking this book.
