Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver, 2012 Book (Delirium #2)

I don’t generally enjoy young adult books, but I did like the first book of the Delirium trilogy. The characters weren’t incredible, but I liked how unique and different the concept was, and the plot was quite good as well.

Bad Behaviour by Sheila O’Flanagan

Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

This book is a very fun read. Set, like many of Terry Pratchett’s books, in Ankh Morpork (which I think is a very fun setting, full of oddness like the University and the Watch), with many references to characters from his other books such as Captain Carrot, Saccharissa Cripslock, …
