A Long, Long Sleep By Anna Sheehan and the other stuff...

I don't have a method for picking books, but I always like books with a  great plot. I like books if they are well written, but for me that is not much of a factor in choosing what to read. I also see if the characters are relatable even if in the smallest way. Then after reading the back cover (or inside flap thing) I decide whether to read the book or not. This has not changed over the school year or, quite frankly, last year as well.

My Favorite Book:  Everest By Neal Shusterman! It is almost fantasy and digs into what happens when you die. If you want to read more about it go to my post about it! (just keep scrolling)

BOOK REVIEW:

Rose has been locked into stasis for 62 years when she awakes to a new century, with everyone she ever knew long lost because of the dark ages she knows nothing about. She is fragile and is scared for she is only 16, not including stasis time. Rose is also the soon to be owner of the UniCorp, a huge company that controls everything. But Rose is being hunted down and she doesn't know if she can escape.

This was a great book. It was very creatively written, and the reader really gets to know the characters. My favorite character was Otto. A boy whose genes were altered so know he cannot speak, and has blue skin and yellow eyes. Though he cannot speak, whenever he touches anyone he can look through there thoughts and basically think things to them. read this book!

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (week 1)

Cath just got to college but it isn't what she expected. Her twin, Wren, is ignoring her and Cath just wants to hide in her bed and write fan-fiction about the Simon Snow series. But then Cath meets her roommate's ex-boyfriend and best friend, Levi. He has an appreciation for Cath's fan-fiction, brings her out of her shell, and wins her heart.

I really like this book. Rainbow Rowell (the author) practically had to write two different books to write this one and I respect that. Cath is a great character, but my favorite is Levi. He goes out of his way to make people feel good. Warning: alcohol, sexual thought, romance, cursing, divorce, drugs.

Read it!

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Eleanor has a terrible life: a dad who doesn't want her, a step dad who could kill her, and she is really poor. Until she meets Park, the boy who let her sit down next to him on the bus. They start to become closer and closer and eventually fall in love. But Eleanor doesn't know how long it can last, her mom doesn't want her to have a boyfriend and neither does her stepdad (who Eleanor thinks wants to kill everything good). She starts making up lies to go over to his house and then things get serious between them and her stepdad figures out her lies.

This was one of the best books ever, I think it is considered a classic... Park was my favorite character, he really ended up hiding his feelings about being asian really well. He also has a really interesting life. warnings: sexual thought, kissing, drugs, and alcohol.
