I know I have been MIA but this semester got the best of me and I had to give up my blogging time for school. BUT now it is summer YIPPEE and that means I will be back posting things I enjoy that might possibly brighten your life.
Today I am going to share with you some of my all time favorite novels. I know some of you think reading is awful and that it's something only to be done in a classroom (and even that doesn't always actually happen). But sitting outside, sipping on your preference of caffeine, and reading a chapter or five of a great novel is an outstanding way to start the day.
Forewarning: These books are not my favorite for their exceptional diction or intriguing metaphors, they are my favorite because the stories being told excite me or are relate-able.
1. The Maze Runner by: James Dashner
Yes, Maze Runner is another science fiction series that has a movie coming out this year BUT it is different and dare I say, better than the others. The different lingo used by the characters might throw you off at first but once you get passed that you will get caught up in all the action and mystery that lies within The Maze Runner.
2. The Giver by: Lois Lowry
This is a classic but now that a movie is being released this summer I think we all could use a refresher from our middle school literature class. I read this novel in 6th grade and it was the first book I actually enjoyed reading.
3. Cuckoo's Calling by: Robert Galbraith (J.K Rowling's Pseudonym)
This came out a while ago but it was by far the best mystery novel I have read in a while. It has a lot of pages and might look intimidating but I promise it is a quick read and worth every minute of your spare time. It will keep you guessing who really did it till the last chapter which, many times, is not the case with mystery novels.
4. A Bend in the Road by: Nicholas Sparks
How this has yet to be made into a movie I do not know. It was published in 2001 and although I have not read the other novels written by him, I think this would win hands down. Its semi-mystery and of course lovey dovey but wonderful all together. If a movie were to ever be made obviously Ryan Gosling should play Miles and Rachel McAdams should play Sarah, but I'll let you decide.
5. Lea Michelle: Brunette Ambition
I have not read this because it isn't going to be published till May 20th but it is definitely on my must-read list. Lea Michelle has been through a lot this past year and manages to continue to wow people with her talents, she seems to be a great role model for us 20-something girls.
6. Fault in our Stars by: John Green
I actually purchased this book today and have yet to start but have heard so many wonderful things about it. Also, the movie is coming out and the trailer made me cry so I figured I had to read it before watching the film.
