It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (1)

This is a weekly meme hosted by Book Journey where you share what you just started reading.

This Monday I decided to read:

Title: Legend
Author: Marie Lu
Pages:320
Series: Legend #1
Published: November 29th 2011
Publisher:Putnam Juvenile
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

I originally got this book at the beginning of the year but I couldn't get past the first 30 pages, so I put it back in my to read pile and this week I decided to give it a second chance.

 Wish me luck reading this!
