Dystopian stories have been making it to the big screen quite often in the past year. Hearing that one of my favorite series would be joining such films was a thing I've been anticipating with relish. Veronica Roth has created an amazing world in her Divergent series. Looking at the trailer for the first novel, I am absolutely excited to see how they bring to life the bravery of Tris and the world of the factions. The release date for this film is March 21 so make sure you go out there and read the book or better yet the series!

By now I'm sure we've all heard of The Hobbit and if you're an avid reader, probably read it as well. If you haven't read the book you should definitely go pick it up.
