Fallen- Lauren Kate

I was recommended this book by a friend of mine who depicted it as right up my alley.
Okay, so she was right.
I do majorly indulge in the teen-mania fantasy books.
I can’t help it.
It’s the kid in me!

So anyways, I’ll go ahead and give the book 3 out of 5 stars.

It’s written as a series and definitely the end has you wanting more, but then you see that the next one doesn’t come out for another year.

FAIL!

But all in all a nice easy read. Not the best written book I’ve ever read, but not the worst.

All in all:
Recommend

Boneman’s Daughter- Ted Dekker

I got this book and Adam when I left for Israel in July.

Ted Dekker’s books almost always have good summaries on the back, but they don’t always keep my attention.

However, Boneman’s Daughter was great!

I really enjoyed it and it was a serial killer-esq book.

5 stars and totally recommend it!

Mortal Instruments Series- Cassandra Clare

This one was also a Stephenie Meyer recommendation and let me say…

LOVED the whole series!

I mean, yes they are young adult oriented so the writing is a little, “like, so totally awesome”, but I really enjoyed the series.

They have basically got your whole gambit of fantasy characters and really interesting twists.  Plus the love story. Gotta have the love story.

5 stars and I like, totally recommend them!

The Road- Cormac McCarthy

Great book!

Totally enjoyed it.

Very cryptic in the fact that it doesn’t really explain itself very well, but I feel like that is part of why you keep reading.

I even cried at the end. sniff.

5 stars and definitely recommend it!

Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold

So my lovely friend Nikki mailed me this book all the way from Dallas to Brussels after hearing me complain that they didn’t have a Kindle version available.

They just made a movie about this book and so before the movie came out, I wanted to read the book.

You know, so I could get irritated at how much better the book was than the movie.

I liked it.

I mean, it’s dark. Don’t get me wrong. But I enjoyed the book.

I’m going to go ahead and give it 4 stars and say I would recommend it.
