Current Book: The Selection by Kiera Cass

After a long break from blogging, I have read 3 books. Reading is always best when you are on the beach! I read Paper Towns by John Green, Don't Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. All of these books were really good, but my favorite was Don't Look Back.

Paper Towns: This book is about a boy, Q, who goes on an adventure to find the girl he loves, after she goes missing. This book is really good, it made me laugh out loud and think about life. You will like this book if you like other John Green books! Also, they are coming out with a movie for Paper Towns, and Nat Wolff (who played Isac in TFIOS) is playing Q.

Don't Look Back: This book is about Sam, who wakes up with no memory of herself or others around her. Her best friend Cassie, is missing. She discovers the person who she was before, discovers the person she really is, and struggles to find out what happened in the accident and find out where Cassie is. This book is realistic fiction, mixed with mystery, thriller and a little bit of romance. This book was really good and impossible to put down! I was hesitant at first to read it, but it was definitely worth reading!

Before I Fall: This book is about Sam, (same name different character ^)  who has the "perfect life." But then she dies coming home from a party one night. She relives her last day 7 times. Through this, she sees the effects of the smallest decisions and learns how to make things right. At first this book really annoyed me because I didn't like the way the characters acted and the way they treated others. But, as the story goes on, we watch Sam discover what is important in life, and it makes for a really good story.
Now I am reading The Selection, by Kiera Cass... for the second time. I guess after watching the Bachelor come back on TV, I really wanted to read it. Plus, it has been a year, and you always miss things the first time you read a book! This book is the perfect mixture of the Bachelor and The Hunger Games. But, unlike The Bachelor on TV, the girls are much less annoying and I actually like the "bachelor," in this case it is Prince Maxon. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in The Bachelor in a Hunger Games type society!
