So I stole this from my facebook page. so what.
Well, having graduated from college and no longer being required to read books I never bothered to finish reading anway, I have recently rediscovered my love for books! I'm really into young adult fantasy (im pretty sure that's simply because of the lack of ANYTHING like it in college). I've decided to....what's the word....not commemorate...not contemplate....not chronologize.....keep track of??....comment....?? eh. I'll settle for "record" even though its not the word I was looking for. Anyway. recording...keeping track of the books i read, want to read, or whatever here. and tell you what I think of them.
Here are my lists
______What I have read:_______
The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins (EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THESE BOOKS!)
hunger games, catching fire, and mockingjay
The Maze Runner by James Dashner (Also very good!)
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (it's about a fallen angel.)
Evermore by Alyson Noel (eh)
Crank by Ellen Hopkins, and the sequel, GLass (If you are into poetry, read any one of her books.... they're pretty fan-freaking-tastic. But be warned, none of them are about happy things: drugs, sexual abuse, death, abandonement.....but SO well written!!!!)
Burned by Ellen Hopkins
Shiver by Maggie Steifvater(?) (werewolves....eh...although, lets face it... i want to read the sequel.)
If I Stay (I forget who the author is.... but I liked it!)
Wake by Lisa McMann (really liked it... but im not sure others would.It's about a girl who gets sucked into other people's dreams) The other two books in the series are Fade and Gone. Wake is the best.
Eat Pray Love
The Candidates by Inara Scott. Part of the new "Delacroix Academy" series. Really slow to get into, but it was an interesting story.(probably going to read the sequel when it comes out)
Gone by Michael Grant. (sort of a cross between lord of the flies and left behind..... one of those books where you have to keep reading to see what happens. good book, but i didnt like all of it. But now I will be reading the sequels. .....)
Eleven Minutes.... (it's by the same giu who wrote the alchemist. I liked it... but it took me a while to finish)
_____What I'm going to read: (aka what's on hold from the library)_____
The Book Theif by Markus Zusak (Suzy you will have to tell me what you thought of it)
What the Dickens
I am number Four by Pittacus Lore
Linger by maggie steifvater (Sequel to Shiver)
The Scorch Trials by James Dashner (sequel to Maze RUnner)
Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz
Same Kind of DIfferent As Me by Ron Hall
Blue Moon by Alyson Noel (started it.... worse than evermore....)
Marked by P.C. Cast.... lots of hype about it.... i'm wary....
Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
Identical by Ellen Hopkins
Th1rteen r3asons why: a novel by Jay Asher
The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller
Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick (Sequel to Hush, Hush)
Firelight By sophie Jordan
Nightshade by andrea Cremer
_____Books I've started reading but couldn't (haven't) finish(ed)....for whatever reason...._____
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo .....I just couldn't get into it.
The Lost Symbol.....too much. Too intense. Too small of print...
Yes. It is a lot of books. WHy would I need more do you ask? Well,for one, I've been averaging two books a day lately. Secondly, I'm number 25, or 42, or 36th or whatever on hold lists. lists Ive been on since the end of november...... I need books I can read now! or at least books to pile up so that when I blow through the next three.... I have more to read. Three, I ride the bus 40 minutes to seattle whenever I work. WHich adds up to a lot of reading time. SO! If any of you have anymore suggestions, please.... um.... suggest them. I apologise in advance if I shoot you down by saying "I've already read that...." because I'm sure I forgot some on my "already read" list. Or if you have any questions about these books, I could probably answer those too.
...seriously. Read "The Hunger Games"..... and "THe Maze Runner"
