Hello!
Thanks to whomever is reading this, you are probably the only one who will. I am into sci. fi. and apocolyptic type books. I'm also VERY up for recommendations, so please feel free to post any good book titles or series that you have read. Also feel free to browse my shelf, which I try to keep as up to date as possible.

  • Shattered
    • Rated 3 stars

    “This story moved way too fast and was completely unrealistic in the events to move the plot forward. I also had to put it down at some parts to roll my eyes at the obnoxious relations to twilight. (i.e. mysterious boy arrives, gets close to girl, saves girl, disappears for days, comes back, drives a volvo, is a vampire, and the real surprise, besides the whole vampire business ... he can read minds.) I recommend spending your time elsewhere, unless you like these kind of books.”

  • The Night Circus
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This was one spectacular book. It wasn't merely "almost transcendent". It was one of the only books were the author made the whole aura of the book feel like you were inside of Le Cirque de Reves. Although the plot was slow at times, and I was looking forward to reading Bailey's story more than Celia's and Marco's, by the end, it really picked up pace and you felt a strong connection to the characters. I would recommend this to all that are interested in reading a different type of love story, a kind that isn't filled with mushy details like so many others. You also do have to have a sense of imagination reading this, and be patient with the storyline.”

  • Where She Went
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Considering that this was a sequel, it did very well at standing it's own. I don't think I can put into words how much I enjoyed this series, and Where She Went is equally, if not more, of an amazing read than If I Stay. I really enjoyed seeing the view of Adam through his hardships and what he faced after Mia left. I reccomend this to anyone who loved If I Stay.”

  • If I Stay
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This book was one of the best I have read in a while. The point of view and the concept of the narrorator outside of her injured body throughout the story was very intriguing. While this book made me laugh until my stomach hurt, it also made me cry. This is an excellent read and I cannot wait to read the sequel!”

  • Fahrenheit 451
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I read this book for school and although i liked the idea of the story (i'm a book lover myself), i thought the way Ray Bradbury wrote it was a bit strange. I found myself re-reading a lot of parts multiple times. Other than that it was a great book that made an excellent point about society.”

  • Falling Under
    • Rated 4 stars

    “The only reason I would give this book 4 stars is because of the idea and plot of this book. It took a lot of getting used to the formal "british" type POV of Theia, the main character. The relationship with her father is what is very hard to believe and is extremely unrealistic in the ways he has her "caged" in her personality. Other than the kind of akwardness of the narrorating this was a very good book.”

  • Delirium
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This has got to be one of the better written love/dystopia stories I've read in a long time, and it's a shame I can's double favorite this book. Lauren Oliver did a great job creating the future city of Portland and the characters. I recommend this to anyone who even remotely likes future-america stories.”

  • Unwind
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This was an amazing book. Neal Shusterman writes mind bending books that make you stop to think about if that would happen. I recomend this book to everyone that wants to read a book with lots of action.”
