This is my first time doing Feature and Follow and I'm really excited about it! Below you will see the question of the week and my answer, thanks for stopping by guys!
Question: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review.
Answer: Yes I definitely have, many times! I am the type of person who likes to decide for myself whether I like something or not. We all have different book tastes, so if I think I will like it I give it a try. The most recent book I've bought because of a bad review is Wither by Lauren DeStefano, and I ended up LOVING it! I just think, what if I didn't read it... I might be missing out on something great because I didn't give it a try because of a negative review! If you would like to read my 5 STAR review of Wither "Click Here".

The Chemical Garden Trilogy #1
Author: Lauren DeStefano

Release Date: March 22, 2011

By age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years left to live. She can thank modern science for this genetic time bomb. A botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males with a lifespan of 25 years, and females with a lifespan of 20 years. Geneticists are seeking a miracle antidote to restore the human race, desperate orphans crowd the population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and young girls are being kidnapped and sold as polygamous brides to bear more children. When Rhine is kidnapped and sold as a bride, she vows to do all she can to escape. Her husband, Linden, is hopelessly in love with her, and Rhine can’t bring herself to hate him as much as she’d like to. He opens her to a magical world of wealth and illusion she never thought existed, and it almost makes it possible to ignore the clock ticking away her short life. But Rhine quickly learns that not everything in her new husband’s strange world is what it seems. Her father-in-law, an eccentric doctor bent on finding the antidote, is hoarding corpses in the basement. Her fellow sister wives are to be trusted one day and feared the next, and Rhine is desperate to communicate to her twin brother that she is safe and alive. Will Rhine be able to escape--before her time runs out?Together with one of Linden's servants, Gabriel, Rhine attempts to escape just before her seventeenth birthday. But in a world that continues to spiral into anarchy, is there any hope for freedom?
