Looking For Alaska by: John Green

-

     I'm not heartless but I didn't cry reading this as I had expected to, so yay me I guess. This book was amazing and I will definitely be reading again in the future. John Green is one of my favorite authors and I have two books left from the library both by him, and cannot wait to read those. This book is earth shatteringly good I don't have much time right now to go too into detail so I'm gonna give you he summary. 

Summary: 

Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words-and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet François Rabelais called the "great perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.


Today I leave you with a question from this book, and would love to hear your answer because I don't quite know for myself what I think the answer is;

"How will we ever escape this labyrinth of suffering?"

Carry On by: Rainbow Rowell

-
      I love this book so much!!! I was actually ranting to a few of my friends about it throughout the whole thing and think I annoyed them quite a bit. I did find it slightly predictable but after awhile of reading untrustworthy books I guess you just get that way. I think this may be one of my new favorite books, as I finished all 517 pages in one day. Please don't call me lazy, I already know I am, but as I start school in January I am trying to read as much as possible as fast as possible. There is a second to this and I'm going to start it after finishing this post, but I am fifty percent sure that Carry On can be read as a stand-alone, but I being me want to soak up as much of the characters as I can.  Summary:      Simon Snow is the worst chosen one who's ever been chosen.         That's what his roommate, Baz, says. and Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right.     Half the time,...

Torn Away by Jennifer Brown

      I read this book for my English class and about broke down in tears in the middle of class, and you wanna know the best thing about is? I sit in the very front of the class. I love that teachers class though she was meant to be a teacher. I really liked this book and might read more by Jennifer Brown in the future. This book brings us through being lost or losing yourself.      Summary:    Jersey Cameron has always loved a good storm. Watching the clouds roll in and the wind pick up. Smelling the electricity in the air. Dancing barefoot in the rain. She lives in the Midwest, after all, where the weather is sure to keep you guessing. Jersey knows what to do when the tornado sirens sound. But she never could have prepared for this. When her town is devastated by a tornado, Jersey loses everything. As she struggles to overcome her grief, she's sent to live with relatives she hardly knows-family who might as well be strangers. In an unfamil...
