Okay, some of you might be interested in what I’ve been reading lately, so here’s my list with my own personal ratings.
**Rating system works like this: 1= Did not like, 2= It was okay, 3= Liked it, 4= Really liked it, 5=It was amazing!
Getting the Girl by Marcus Zusak- It took me a while to get into this book, but I pushed on because, well, quite frankly, I LOVE Zusak’s I am the Messenger and The Book Thief. I’m glad I held on. It ended up being worth my time. 3.5/5
Luxe by Anna Godbersen- Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish this book. After slogging through the first 50 pages and still finding myself bored with the story, I gave up. However, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book. It just means it wasn’t working for me at that time. So, I won’t give this a rating since I didn’t finish it.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie- Great book! I read it all in one sitting. There was humour, tragedy, and eventual self-realization. 4.5/5
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen- I can’t believe I never read this book in high school. This is such an interesting story on wilderness survival. I know. I just made it sound boring, but trust me. It’s not. 4/5
Prom and Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg- True confession. I love Jane Austen, and I especially love her Pride and Prejudice. That’s why I pick up any book that sounds anything like Pride and Prejudice. A silly quirk, I know. But there you have it. (Also, chick lit can sometimes be the perfect cozy read.) Anyway, I found this book to be fun, easy to read, and over all satisfying. 3/5
