Books!


I'd like to share some of the books I've read since the new year started.  If for no other reason than to take my mind off of the current situation.  

First, The Host by Stephenie Meyer.  Author of Twilight?  Yeah.  So, pretty much, a science fiction book, that has a love story in it, and there may be some inner-species lovin goin on.  Similar to the human vampire thing.  Anyhow, the book was pretty good once I got into it.  It took a while, like three four chapters at least, and then I buzzed through it.  The only thing was, it was so big I couldn't carry it around with me!  I like small books that fit easily into my bag an don't weigh a hundred pounds.




Next I read The Wednesday Letters by... somebody.  Some virginian author. I could tell you if I looked at the book.  I'm
 sure its on the picture too haha.  So this one had this great synopsis about a love story and family secrets and all this juicy stuff and then the book kinda was not as exciting.  The person who wrote the summary should re-
write the book.  The idea was good, An elderly couple dies and their kids uncover their story through letters the husband wrote to his wife every week.  But all of the issues were just kinda let go in the end.  Like he was done writing, everyone is happy!  It was a so so book.  But I finished it! 

Jason F. Wright. That's the author.




Following this was another love story!  The end of the alphabet.  This was a good one, with a lot of really amazing moments.  And it is just over 100 pages so it was quick and easy to carry.  I would recomm
end it for anyone looking to be inspired by the story of a couple that loved each other for
 decades.



Then we had Secret Society Girl which really serves no purpose but to be a juicy drama filled adventure.  For those who like easy reads and drama and secrets, this is a good book.  I couldn't stop reading.  Of, course, I like brainless reading where I don't have to be paying complete attention and concentrating ad instead can get easily lost in.  I think I finished it in less than a week.  I also intend on reading the rest of the series once I have a chance and some extra funds to go to Barnes&Noble.  


I am currently reading Bud, Not Buddy for class.  My children's literature class, yes, it's a children's book. People give me a funny look when I say that, if you are gonna teach it shouldn't you read it?  Anyhow, children's book or not, this is a
 good one.  I can't believe I haven't read until now.  In fact, I think everyone should read it.  It says ages 10&up but that doesn't mean us college students can't enjoy it too.
