Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale.

Saw the Lightning Thief last night. It had some really fun parts but on a whole was kind of meh. The boy who plays Percy Jackson was really awesome though, and I love seeing Sean Bean in almost anything. The most upsetting thing about the movie though was seeing Pierce Brosnan's hairy upper arms. Yuck! Also, I do not see how this movie got a PG rating, but Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was saddled with a PG-13 back in 1984. I am glad that this movie has added more interest for the books in my library, but I just wish it had been higher quality. The sad thing is that I still think I enjoyed this movie more than I liked Avatar.
Also, in other YA news I've heard that they have optioned rights a movie version of Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, and also the book Heist Society by Ally Carter.
I am also looking forward to Beastly starring Vanessa Hudgens. I haven't read that book (although I'd love to if I could find some time!) and am somewhat excited by the news that the Stephanie Plum movie is finally in the works with Katherine Heigl set to star. I think I may be about the last woman on Earth to have read the Stephanie Plum books, but I did read and enjoy the first one and can't wait to read the second one!
