Sorry Sorry

Hey guys!
        I just want to start by saying sorry I haven't posted anything lately. I've had spring break and my first week back from break and so I have been pretty busy, but I'm here now!
       So I thought today I would list my top 5 favorite book/series. What I'll do is list the book, author, a short summery and why I love it. So here we go.... By the way this isn't in any special order.

1.) The GONE Series by Michael Grant- This series is fantastic if you don't mind reading books that are over 500 pages, and is filled with action, mystery, thriller, romance, and all that other good stuff too. This book is great for teens because the whole book is about them. It takes place in a small town where everyone over 15 disapears and the kids are left to take care of themselves. I'm on the 5th of the 6 books of the series and I love them.

2.) That Boy Series by Jillian Dodd- There are two books(so far) in the series and I'm not sure if there will be a third, but these are great books for teen girls. Basically it's this girl named JJ who is so lucky she lives next door to two super hot southern boys that happen to be her best friend. That's really all it is in a nut shell, but they are a pretty easy read and very realistic.

3.) The Summer I Turned Pretty Series by Jenny Han- Don't let the title of this series stop you from reading! I know it sounds like a cheesy title, but I am telling you it's a great story. It's about a girl named Belly who stays at a summer house with her family and another family that are great family friends. She has this huge thing for one of the boys who's kinda like a brother to her in a way since they grew up together, but he's not really into her. Through the first book Belly gets self confidence and grows up which is why this is the title. But really the whole series you see Belly grow up and make choices that are very realistic to one's us girls will/would have to make.

4.) Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen- This is a great book and Sarah is a great author. There are so many relationships in this book for the main character, Auden. Of course there's that summer romance down at the beach, but with a bit of a twist, but there is a lot more than that. Auden goes to stay with her father for the summer where she tries to make some type of bond with him she hasn't had since her parents divorce, she tries to have a relationship with her new step mom, AND make new friends which she's not good at because she has no social life. In a nut shell this is a girl who is all school and nothing else just like her mom. When she goes to the beach for the summer she has a chance to relive the things she missed out on as a kid before she becomes an adult forever. This book is very easy to connect to.

5.) The Hunger Games by Sussan Collins- Now I could go on and on about this series, because they are my favorite book and those of you who are a huge fan probably could too, but for those of you who haven't read them must know how popular they are and might be annoyed with the whole thing. I don't blame you, but I'll try to explain why people love this book so much. Picture yourself in a world where every year you wake up and know that in the next few hours your name or a family or friend's could be chosen and then sent off into an arena to fight 23 other kids the same age until only one is living. Doesn'y sound too fun, right? So Katniss Everdeen the main character takes her sisters place and goes into an arena to fight to the death. The whole book is from her point of veiw and she is so strong, brave, smart, and a great girl. It's an amazing series.

       Well that's it. I really hope you guys liked it. Leave a commet telling me if you have read any of the books and what you thought of it, I'd love to hear what you think. And if you haven't checked one out and you fianlly do, tell me what you thought of it. Hope you guys all give these great books a try!
