Chain Reaction
|
Simone Elkeles
|
This book follows the Perfect Chemistry novels and is actually the
last in the series. Having read the
first two in the series, Im very anxious to finally read the last one. This
book focuses on Luis, a cousin of the Fuentes brothers. Luis has never been
around the gang atmosphere quit like his cousins.

50 Shades of Grey
|
E.L. James
|
The reason for my pick on this book, is not because of the sex crazed
media of it all. The absurdity of it all draws my attention. Ana being a shy,
college student. And Christian Grey, a young entrepreneur, the two of them
hit it off with trappings of success.

Delirium
|
Lauren Oliver
|
This book follows a young lady who is trapped between having love to
herself, but is willing to risk it all, knowing it could hurt her in the end.
Morgan Huff actually told me about this book. I don’t necessarily like love
stories, but a twisted love story is my cup of tea!

Speak
|
Lauren Halse Anderson
|
Speak is about teenagers learning to stand up for themselves and
actually make peers around them aware of harmful situations. This book was a
finalist for the National Book Award.
Books about teens relate to me, simply because they tell it like it is
instead of sugar coating it, unless your Sara Dessen.

Will Greyson, Will
Greyson
|
After watching a short clip of one of the two authors describing his
book, I can see he is a pretty funny guy. I’m hoping his hilarity will also
make an appearance in his writing. The book is about two boys, both named
Will Greyson. They start crossing paths and eventually start intertwining
them as well.

My Sisters keeper
|
Jodi Picolt
|
This book is about a family who all seems to go under the knife. And
finds it to be a constant struggle to keep the sister alive. The Author, Jodi
is a New York Times Best Seller Author. I have also been recommended this
book by many people, and hope to see the movie after reading it.

Forever
|
Judy Blume
|
The main reason I have decided to put this on my bucket list is, as a
kid we all read Judy Blume. I will be interested to read her work for more
mature audiences. The book follows a new flame of love. Which yes, you did
find this on my Bucket list..despite my snarl for them.

Beautiful Creatures
|
Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
|
This book follows a family loomed curse hidden behind a small town
mentality. I think this book will be pretty twisted, which is what I like in
a book. One that keeps me entertained throughout the whole book, constant
twists and turns that never let you expect the ending catch.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for
Peculiar Children
|
Ransom Riggs
|
Jocie actually recommended this book to me, and we both watched the
trailor. Its about a little boy that visits the island of the peculiar
children and finds, that just maybe there all but dead. I like scary movies
so I also like scary books, but what I really like is that it has pictures…I
know that defeats the purpose in reading, but I like being able to see what
there trying to visualize

13 Reasons Why
|
|
This book tells 13 reasons why a highschool girl kills herself, hence the title. I find
this book to be right up my alley since suicide has become a very upfront and
personal situation around the Batesville area lately. Also since im in highschool
as well, I think it would be fairly easily to relate to. many of my friends
have read this book and have recommended it. Anxious!
