Good morning! I hope everyone is having a fabulous day! It is my Friday so I am excited for 3:30pm!!
here are random books I have finished in the last couple of weeks...
Dead Rules By Randy Russell
Till death
Jana Webster and Michael Haynes were in love. They were destined to be together forever.
Do
But Jana's destiny was fatally flawed. And now she's in Dead School, where Mars Dreamcote lurks in the back of the classroom, with his beguiling blue eyes, mysterious smile, and irresistibly warm touch.
Us
Michael and Jana were incomplete without each other. There was no room for Mars in Jana's life—or death—story. Jana was sure Michael would rush to her side soon.
Part
But things aren't going according to Jana's plan. So Jana decides to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true—no matter what rules she has to break.
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker - his classmate and crush - who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah's voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why. Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a firsthand witness to Hannah's pain, and learns the truth about himself-a truth he never wanted to face.
Awaken By Katie Kacvinsky
Maddie lives in a world where everything is done on the computer. Whether it’s to go to school or on a date, people don’t venture out of their home. There’s really no need. For the most part, Maddie’s okay with the solitary, digital life—until she meets Justin. Justin likes being with people. He enjoys the physical closeness of face-to-face interactions. People aren’t meant to be alone, he tells her.
Suddenly, Maddie feels something awakening inside her—a feeling that maybe there is a different, better way to live. But with society and her parents telling her otherwise, Maddie is going to have to learn to stand up for herself if she wants to change the path her life is taking.
In this not-so-brave new world, two young people struggle to carve out their own space.
I will review this books in the future. I really can’t pick a favorite – they are all uniquely different. I did feel like crying when I read “13 Reasons Why.” It also makes me scared of having a kid if this is how school is like these days.
I am currently reading: Across the Universe
I haven't read a sci-fi/space book in quite sometime...it is a bit of an adjustment. Each chapter goes back and forth between two people...Interesting perspective.
I finally decided to get a library card...all these books were starting to cost precious money. The unfortunate thing is that my library doesn't have all the books I want : (
The cards have not change since I was 4 when I started to go to this library.
The next books I hope to read:
Matched
Warm Bodies
The Eleventh Plague
Beautiful Disaster
None of these are available in the library so the list may change.

Your voracious love for reading continues to astound me! Have you considered book swapping websites? I've never used them myself, but just googled some sites and paperbackswap.com looks pretty good. Could save you a lot of money!
