A Series to Read Before You Die

I started reading this thrilling series in 6th grade. The first book I had read the summary of and was a little weirded-out. So I set the book back on the Barnes and Noble shelf. Then the book pops up again about a month later in the best-sellers crate, and it intrigues me, so I pick it up and bring it to the cashier.

I was so thrilled after reading the first book and frustrated at myself for not getting the second book the same time I got the first, what with the cliff-hanger ending and all. I begged my mom to take me to Barnes and Noble right after school via text message. After dinner she took me to the store and I bought the next two books in the series (in case there was a cliff hanger ending - which there was!). This pattern continued for weeks until I had read the first four books. I was a little disappointed to see that Sara Shepard had written another set of books, because it seemed as if the story had ended. Apparently not! I did not read the 5th book for a while. I found it ironic how my sister told me the complete ending just after I had started the 5th up again.

I had planned on reading it again, but I just felt that it wouldn't be as good because I couldn't gasp out loud anymore in suprise. And so the 5th book of Pretty Little Liars still sits on my shelf, just waiting to be picked up again.

Finished Book: Paper Towns by John Green

So a few nights ago I finished Paper Towns by John Green. A few months ago I had started it, but stopped a little over half way through because I had found another AMAZING book I had to read instead. But about a week ago I started it up again. I started about half way to re-cap on things.

It's basically about this guy who has always loved this girl, Margo. The book starts out with them going on a big prank night, pranking her boyfriend who was cheating on her, and her friend who was helping him cheat. He is very excited about seeing her at school the next day. But he is upset to see that Margo has disappeared. He notices that something from Margo's window is missing. He knows she knows that he can see that. He learned that Margo has left a series of clues to help him find her, but can he find her in time?

I wasn't completely satisfied with this book, because the ending was unclear, but it was very funny. I constantly was laughing aloud about something one of the characters said. The plot was amazing and moves freely. I just wish the ending had been a little better. I plan to read other John Green books because they are all supposed to be very funny.

Date book finished: June 5th

Favorite Books 1: The Summer I Turned Pretty

The Summer I Turned Pretty series (book 3 is the best)- Belly has gone to the same house every summer for as long as she can remember. She loves the feel of freshly tanned skin, going to the Clam Shack for dinner, and taking midnight swims on the deck pool. But the best thing about Cousins Beach are Beck's boys. Susannah, or Beck, to Belly's mother, is Belly's mom's best friend, who owns the house, and calls Belly her long-lost daughter. Jeremiah and Conrad are her sons, who are best friends with Belly's Brother, Steven. Belly has always been in love with Conrad, and Jeremiah has always been her friend. She always wants to be apart of the boy's activities, but is never invited unless the moms force them to.
It's the last summer before Steve goes to college and Jeremiah goes off to football camp, and Belly wants to make it count.
In the second book, after Susannah dies from cancer that she had been suffering from secretly during the summer. Belly and her mom don't return to the summer house, and Belly is having the worst summer yet, when Jeremiah calls. "Belly, Conrad's missing." he tells her. Belly is forced to slip away from her mother and help Jeremiah drive around looking for him.
The third book, the best one (which I read in about an hour), starts out with Jeremiah's proposal to Belly. They are 19 and in college and Belly accepts. Throughout the book they are planning the wedding, and Conrad is having second thoughts about letting her go.

The third boom in this series is my favorite book in. The. Whole. World. ;)

The First Day

Books always give me this sense of accomplishment when I finish one. I don't know what it's about, the whole pride thing. Maybe it's because I'm just lucky to find amazing books that happen to have the best endings. And thats why I'm here, to help you be lucky like me. Here to document the amazing triumph of a book, and how am-az-ing they were.
