The Unit...


I read this book a while ago and it was a fun read! It is Hunger-Games-like in the way it is something pretty far fetched but seems like it is pretty real when you are reading it. I really like it, I think you will like it!!

This book was recommended by Lacey, and was mentioned on the blog earlier. I read this book in like a weekend...I don't really know why. It wasn't amazing but I couldn't stop reading. It is all written in letter form, which is kinda weird but it worked and was pretty good.
Very predictable historical romance! But I really like it! Plus the best part is that is was very clean!

Unwind


YAY, my first book to add to the blog. It is a good one to start with because I loved this book! it is a YA book set in the future I guess. They don't believe in abortion but they do believe in "Unwinding" kids when they are 16. Being unwound means the kids are pretty much killed (even tho they say they are still living) they take each body part and donate them so when people need a transplant there are always available body parts. Anyway, its about 3 kids who are supposed to be unwound but they don't want to be so they run away......its was way good!
P.S. There was VERY little romance! :D

Dear John


So I just got done reading this, and I really liked it. I can't wait to go see it, I just have to talk Clay into taking me. It didn't end like I thought it would but sometimes that's good. It had a lot of romance but what I like about his books is that they don't usually get too physical. Good read.

The Rescue


I have been into the Nicolas Sparks books right now. I am liking the quick read after those Dan Brown books. I don't feel like I am neglecting my kids. Anyway this was an okay book. It didn't have as much romance as I would have thought, but it was still good.

The Da Vinci Code


Here is another Dan Brown book. I don't know if any of you are wanting to read these or not. I think they are really good. They kinda get known as a "hard read" only because you have to really pay attention to understand what is going on. The trick is just to watch the movie first. I also got the illustrated version and so it had all the pictures in the book of the different paintings and land marks. I think that helped me a lot. Anyway I think you guys should read one.

The Help...

This book is on every one's list and all over the Internet and blogging world, and for good reason! It was a really good book! I couldn't put it down! I don't love how it ended, I feel like some things were left and I wanted a little more closure! It was really good though so go get it!

Pillars of the Earth...

I borrowed this book from dad when I was home. It took me forever to read... it was super long! It was really good though, some violent parts and a few rape scenes that I could have done without but I did like it. Read it if you are looking for a good book and you have a lot of time!

The Maze Runner


READ.THIS.BOOK.
I really really liked, or loved (I am not sure which yet) this book!! It has the mild suspense of the Hunger Games but with no killing or anything like that!! Oh, and sorry Gen, no romance! It is a series and I have no idea if the second book is even out yet...I am looking into that today! My only hope is I have not started another series that I have to wait around for, I have no patience for that!!

The White Queen...


Sorry this picture is so blurry!! Anyway, I read another book by Philippa Gregory and again I LOVED it! She writes historical fiction about English royalty mainly. She really is one of my very favorite authors! Even if you don't like history these books are so great! She makes all the people seem so real. Even though I already know the stories and I know what is going to happen I find myself hoping that the story will change and the people I like will come out on top!! She is a great writer!! Any of her books would be great to read, although some of them are in a series so make sure you read them in order!

1st to Die

I haven't really gotten into the "Uglies and Pretties" books so I decided to change it up a little! I am now reading this James Patterson book...I really like it because it is different from what I have been reading. I have always loved watching the "crime drama" shows on TV so this is fun to read it now!!

Angels & Demons

You all already know that this is what I have been reading, but I just got done and I loved it. If you have seen the movie it will help you understand a lot of what is going on. But there are A LOT of things that are different in the book and it is worth reading.
