Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

My Rating: 5 Stars In Thirteen Reasons Why, Clay Jenkins finds a box of cassette tapes recorded by his crush and classmate, Hannah Baker. She committed suicide two weeks earlier. Clay listens to the tapes through the timeframe of one night, as the others have before him. He wanders the town as he listens to […]

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

My Rating: 5 stars This is yet another amazing book by James Patterson. Seriously, I cannot put into words how much I love and adore his writing and book ideas. This book is the first in a series, and it is about six children (Max, Fang, Iggy, the Gasman, Nudge and Angel) without parents, without […]

Extras by Scott Westerfeld

My Rating: 4 stars **If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!** This book was nothing like I expected. I thought it was going to be another book from Tally’s point of view where she goes through another surgery. But this book is from Aya Fuse’s point of view. Her world formed a few years […]

The Giver by Lois Lowry

My Rating: 4 stars I had to read The Giver in school and usually I don’t like books that I read for school, but I really liked this one. I really liked how Lois Lowry created this futuristic world, where everything seems perfect on the surface. There are no conflicts, unemployment, poverty, inequality or injustice. […]

Specials by Scott Westerfeld

My Rating: 4 stars **If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!** Everything has changed for Tally Youngblood. She has been completely remade. Her bones are now aircraft ceramic, light but indestructible. Her muscles repair themselves. She can hear the faintest, most distant sound through her skintenna. And all her senses are supernaturally sharp. She’s […]

Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

My Rating: 4 stars **If you haven’t read previous book, don’t read!** After Tally Youngblood’s encounter with the Smokies, she is sent back to New Pretty Town and finally receives her surgery. For a few weeks, she has been living the life, looking pretty and forgetting her days as an Ugly. Then, she receives a […]

Fade by Lisa McMann

My Rating: 4 stars Janie once again is struggling with her ability to see others’ dreams. She learned from Mrs. Stubin’s old notebook what is going to happen to her once she gets older and experiences more dreams. Janie and Cabel are both working for a secret investigation company, and both receive a mission to […]

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

My Rating: 5 stars Okay, so I’m going to contradict myself at least a million times while writing this, so just bear with me. I have to say, this is one of the strangest books I have ever read. Just the whole way it was written was totally different and original. But at the same […]

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

My Rating: 5 stars I’m not going to lie, but I absolutely loved this book! The whole series is great actually. But this was a really good way to start it all off. So this takes place in the future, not the type of future you’re thinking about: the stereotypical flying cars, etc. Although this […]

Skinny by Ibi Kaslik

My Rating: 1 star Hmm. I didn’t really like this book very much. I’m not quite sure why, but it just didn’t click with me. It didn’t really make me want to turn the page and read more. It’s sad to say, but it was boring! Truthfully, it was. I guess it could have been […]
