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!
First of all, I hope you enjoyed your vacation at the beach! You did such a great job giving an intriguing summary of each of the books you read without revealing too much. I love mysteries so I am very interested in both Paper Towns and Don't look back. I enjoy watching the bachelor and I really liked The Hunger Games as well. After I finish the book I am reading I look forward to reading one of these books!
ReplyDeleteI read Paper Towns too! And I'm so happy you mentioned that they're making a movie, I'm so excited. It will definitely be really good. This was a great blog post!
ReplyDeleteI love how you gave very detailed descriptions about the books that you read while at the beach! This has really made me want to read a couple of these books talked about in your blog. I also read Paper Towns last semester and I absolutely loved it, now I am very excited to go see the movie (I didn't even know they were making the movie??)
ReplyDeleteI thought that your description of each blog was really good. You're pretty lucky that you got to read on the beach too. I too did not know that they were coming out with a movie for paper towns. I really enjoyed reading your blog post!
ReplyDeleteI love reading on the beach as well! I'm also reading Paper Towns and did my most recent blog post about it. I'm on the edge of my seat, wondering how the mystery of Margo will be solved, or if it gets solved at all! I'm going to add "The Selection" to my want-to-read list, it looks like something I would really enjoy. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI am actually reading Paper Towns right now and I'm really happy to hear that you laughed out loud reading because I love to read comedic books. You did an amazing job with your blog and all your summaries were very intriguing. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteWow just reading the summary of Don't Look Back sounds so good right now. I read paper towns and it is was so good. If you haven't noticed already but I love mysteries and I think that I know what book to read next. Great post it was helpful and beneficial.
ReplyDeleteI love your summaries of all the books! I have heard really good things about the book Paper Towns and have been recommended to read it by many people but I never knew what it was about so i will definitely put it on my list of books to read! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree that when reading a book the first time you miss things; for me because I get so caught up in the plot and trying to figure out what happens next. I've read Before I Fall and found it strange at first how changing little things made big differences for everything just to end the same way.
