ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Orbiting Jupiter. I loved this book and I give it a 10.The boy has a kid of his own and he is only a teen dad but he has not seen his kid yet.I can relate to him for all the peer pressure. I read it in one day because it was so good.
ReplyDeleteRed Queen by Victoria Aveyard is about a society divided between those with red blood and those with silver. In the society, those with silver blood are considered superior due to their powers that those with red blood don’t have but the system is disturbed as Mare Barrow, a girl with red blood, demonstrates powers she shouldn’t have. I really enjoyed this book. Mare is an easy character to like and relate with while the plot itself is engaging and thoroughly enjoyable. I would give this book a 4 out of 5 and would recommend it to those who enjoyed The Hunger Games and Cinder.

ReplyDeleteis book about a girl who has a relationship with her nurse like she should have with her mom. the book made this seem real. the book is filled with heart ache I like what Olly tells Madeline near the end of the book and I give it a 10 .I loved it so much that I read it all in one day .
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell follows Cath as she enters college and comes to terms with the role of being a fangirl in a much broader society. This story speaks to me. I am, in many ways, a lot like Cath. I’m a fangirl and next year I’m going off to college, so the problems she faces speak to me on a very personal level. I would give this book a five out of five and would recommend it to people who fall under the category of fangirl in our society.
ReplyDeleteAll the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven is a must read! It has so much to offer from adventure to romance, as well as mystery. Finch has an untypical fascination with death while Violet cannot wait to start her future after high school. The two join paths on a remarkable adventure that I as a reader lived vicariously through. You will not see the ending coming! This book is most definitely a five out of five.
ReplyDeleteThe Great American Whatever by Tim Federle is about a boy dealing with the death of his sister as he struggles to find himself socially and in his screenplay. It was an interesting read but not particularly riveting. My favorite books are the ones that I get into and can’t put down, this wasn’t one of them. I didn’t relate Quinn, the main character, or the plot. In the end, I give this book a 3 out of 5 because the use of form and structure are really interesting in this book but I couldn’t get into the plot.
ReplyDeleteBone Gap by Laura Ruby is about to young boys who have been living on their own since their mother left them for another man. It was just the two of them until a mysterious girl showed up in not only in the tiny town of Bone Gap, but directly in the boys' barn. After finally building a relationship and understanding the polish girl, Roza, the youngest brother, Finn, watched her be kidnapped. However, the rest of town along with his brother Sean thought that Roza had just moved on from them. I rate this book a 3 out of 5 because it seemed to have some random pieces and ideas, like the use of magic. It begins realistic but then becomes hard to believe.
