The Curious Incident of the dog in the Night-time ♥♥♥♥

A very enjoyable book! If you've read the Catcher in the Rye and liked it then you'll like this book too because they are a little similar but this book is a little more fun. Starts off when the boy finds the neighbor's dog has been killed with a pitch fork straight into the dog's body....poor dog :( The boy doesn't want to stop investigating who was responsible for this, he goes through some adventures in his neighborhood, asking question to his neighbors, re-visiting the scene of the dog crime and so on. His dad is not happy about him doing that and has asked him several times to stop doing detective work. But the boy just finds a way around what his dad said and continues on. Like the character in Catcher in the Rye, this boy is quite hard to please , he doesn't like certain things, like yellow or to be touched ...not even by his parents... yeah but overall good book :)

The Road...♥♥♥♥

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is quite an intense book actually! You really feel what the characters are going through and get very attached. This book was actually recommended for me to read by my really close friend. I would see her read this book and she could not be able to get unattached from the book. She would be left surprised , in shock and thoughtful when reading this book. She told me it was very good so I read it too and my reactions were the same as hers. The beginning didn't grab my attention at first but after a few more pages and almost halfway through is when it gets really good! Oh this book is also a major motion picture! I can't imagine how interesting the movie must be because the book is! These characters go through a very tough time , hiding from the bad people , starving and in need of food, cold and freezing themselves and in need of shelter and fire. The father does everything to protect his son from danger, he prefers to give his food & water to his son whenever he can and they try their hardest to survive. You can also get an idea how intense and sad this book is by the cover...Here's the trailer if you would like to take a peek, it gives me goosebumps just watching it.... Click HERE for Trailer

It has become one of my new favorite books :) I am not writing anything about what it is about...., you just have to go get the book and find out yourself ;) haha

The Book Thief...♥♥♥♥♥

An amazing book I got to read and one of my new favorites. Told in death's perspective, very touching book as well as sad. I loved the characters! They were all great, it takes place during WWII/ Fuhrer. People dying, places being bombed... Jews in hiding. Another book I recommend you read, so go on... go borrow it from the library! or buy it too if you'll like :) You won't regret having this book in your collection ;)

The Lovely Bones...♥♥♥♥

I finally got to finish this book! Would have been done with it way sooner if it wasn't for homework =/. This book was very good! Way better than the author's memoir. But this book is a non-fiction and it was quite sad. There is a movie coming out based on this book in December. I really loved the characters and the Susie's point of view. Susie Salmon is the main character who was murdered when she was 14 years old. So read this book when you get the chance! Before the movie come outs too :D

The People of Paper ♥♥♥♥

I loved this book! I may have to read it again some other day though. But I have to say very interesting book by Salvador Plascencia, I love the format in the book, the narrations by the characters and the descriptions given. You'll get attached to these characters :) A very nice book. A brief summary: It is about a father called Federico de la Fe who has a wife named Merced and a daughter named Little Merced. His wife abandons him because he couldn't stop peeing on the bed. He tried everything to find a cure for it and he did but after she had left... Little Merced inherited her mother's love for limes. She eats them when her father is not looking for not to make him sad. They leave on a journey to California and the rest you'll just have to find out. You may find it a little strange and it is a blend of fiction and autobiography but it is new and refreshing.

Lucky ♥♥

Finally I finished reading this book! I can't believe it took me 3 weeks! It usually takes me just 1 week :o[ but this book was hard to read for me because it started of interesting but then I started losing interest in it...it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would have been :/ I didn't want to leave the book unfinished...so I kept reading it now and then. The story is actually a true story by the author, it is her memoir about her rape when she was a freshmen in college, how it affected her, her family & friends and how she got through it. If you want to try reading this book, it is up to you! I am not going to tell you not to read it...because I think everyone has different taste and opinions with books. :) Right now I am reading a great book! And I am excited and can't wait to share it with you. ^_^

oh dear, I am trying my best to read my books as fast as I can, but with schoolwork and all it is getting a little hard :/ But I am sure trying to find some time for my reading! Sorry for the oh so slow posts everyone! I have some fantastic books I want to read and that I want you guys to check out! So stay tuned :}

Murder of Roger Ackroyd...♥♥♥♥

What an amazing book this was! Another great mystery story by Agatha Christie. She sure was a great mystery writer! So Roger has been Murdered! Last seen alive around 9 pm , so many suspicious characters, many with reasons to have killed Roger. I enjoyed figuring out who the murderer may have been! But never would have I guessed the end! It's quite a shocker! and I couldn't believe it! You must read to know what I am talking about! A very surprising ending.

Tales of mystery and Madness ♥♥♥♥

A book by Edgar Allan Poe and I loved it! The story and the characters are interesting and unique. Poe is a great writer and reading his stories really made me love reading a whole lot more! I learned a lot from his book too, great vocabulary , with some latin. The illustrations gave it a great touch and fit perfectly to the story. I loved that! This books comes with 5 short stories. The first one was my favorite. I really recommend ;)

The Diary of a Wimpy kid : Rodrick Rules ♥♥♥♥♥

This book may look like it is for young kids, but I quite enjoyed it too! I think it is great to read for all ages. I didn't find the first one at my local library but I got this second book of the sequel instead. It's great to read if you are bored and have nothing to do. This will make you laugh, smile and make you keep reading and I am sure you will be disappointed after you've finished reading it quickly since it is easy to read. It is a funny book :) 5 hearts out of 5

New book review coming as soon as I can...

I haven't found any interesting books lately for me to read and recommend for you book lovers. But I am off to the library today in search for one! So please be patient ^-^

Water for Elephants ♥♥♥♥♥

Where to begin! This book was beyond and beyond AMAZING! I still can't believe how great this book was and I am sad I finished it. I would have loved to keep reading it and not have it end! Sara Gruen did a great job with her story. It is about life at a circus being told by Jacob who joined a circus when he was 23 years old but now he is 90 or 93. When you read this, it is so full of detail and it makes it so real and you feel as if you're right there present with everyone else from the circus. The details helps you pictures the scene with no fail and it is a great way to see how circus life is behind the scenes when they are not performing. It's full of excitement, fun, drama, surprises & suspense! Jacob's time in the circus was during the 1930s or so and during The Great Depression too. You'll become attached to the characters, you'll find yourself laughing and you'll want to keep reading this book and not want to even take a break! and you'll see why it is called 'Water for Elephants' too. You just have to read it! I absolutely loved it and I know you will too. I HIGHLY recommend :)

The perks of being a wallflower ♥♥♥♥

I really enjoyed this book by author Stephen Chbosky. The story of this book kept me interested and not wanting to stop reading. The characters are really nice and I really liked the main character too. It's mostly about a boy who enters high school, goes through different things a normal high schooler may experience, drama, new friends, sex, drugs. Many might be able to relate to this too, maybe not exactly but close. Also this book has a slightly similarity to "The Catcher in the Rye" for those who liked that book, I am sure you'll like this one. This one comes in letters that the main character, Charlie, writes. They are unique, hilarious and some devastating. It really is a must read :)

Come to Me ♥♥♥

This book by Amy Bloom is a book filled with short stories. Every single one has something in common but yet different. You'll read stories that are passionate, touching, and gives you the message of how love can be viewed in different points of view of a human and are endlessly fascinating. I believe you'll find a wonderful time reading and it will keep you engaged.

Death On the Nile ♥♥♥♥

Here we have, I am sure you heard of her, a Book by Agatha Christie called Death on the Nile. I finished this book yesterday and let me tell you it got me really excited reading this especially since it is a Mystery Book. Who doesn't love that? Well I do because when I read a mystery book I always try to pretend I am the detective and analyze all I read about the characters to see who may have committed the crime. It is very fun and her mystery books are highly recommended! I love them and this one was really great. Interesting characters and most of them were all linked to Linnet Doyle who was the one who died while on a trip on the Nile with her husband. They had just married. She was very beautiful, elegant and very rich too. They were people who envied her, others who wanted to marry her but she did not, and so on. So trying to find out who the killer may have been can be tough but exciting for the reader. I had so many ideas and thoughts of who it could have been and well towards the end you start changing your mind and thinking of a new logical explanation to the crime. You'll find yourself surprised finding out who it was because it is often someone you least expect it.

The Housekeeper and the Professor ♥♥♥♥♥

This book was amazing in so many ways. A beautiful written japanese story by Yoko Ogawa. I enjoyed it so much. The characters were remarkable. This book tells you how life is connected with math/ numbers. The professor is a mathematician who always talk about numbers and the meaning of them. The Housekeeper was always amazed and admired of how a number can change your views on the whole subject of math. The professor is a man who has lost his memory and it only lasts 80 minutes. He writes notes and clips them on his suit to remember certain events and important dates. He, the housekeeper and her son, Root, who the professor gave the nickname to, get along very well together and create a strong bonding relationship and are there for one another. Truly touching story and doesn't matter if you don't like math, after reading this book, you will find math being a subject full of mystery and wonder and surprises.

To Kill A MockingBird ♥♥♥♥♥

This book has become one of my favorites in my list. :) It is a remarkable book with a good story. The main character is a girl named Scout probably 6-8 years old and her brother Jem. They have a really good brother and sister relationship and together go through their adventures and stories and always trying to take peek on who Boo Radley could be. Besides that they live in the time during the 1960's in a small town in Alabama where explosion of racial hate occurs and how Scout looks at his father being a lawyer defending a black man who has been accused of raping a young white woman. It's a great classical literature to read that will touch you and make you feel good after finishing. Great characters, story, setting and you can get a feel of life in the southern states during the 60s. I truly recommend for those who haven't read this book! :)

I gave it 5 out of 5 hearts.

The Catcher in the Rye ♥♥♥

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger is a book I read recently about 2 weeks ago. I had heard about the books from people before but never had the chance to read it until recently. I found the introduction interesting, the characters and the story. The main character though seemed to be going through some problems of his own and the more I read the more I laughed once in awhile when reading how he would say he didn't like this or he didn't like that. Seemed like every little thing would bother him and how it would kill him. He wasn't a very good student either for he was expelled from school and was afraid of how disappointed his parents were going to be. He didn't go home directly after he got expelled but instead spend some time in New York city where he would call up some friends and want to hang out and do things. But other than that this book is a must read and I don't understand why this book had been banned from the reading lists for students. I think it is a good book to learn about how life can be without having a good education and gives you an aspect of how its like. Thinking you to cool for school is nonsense. So if you're looking for a "classic" this book is the one for you!

So I give it 3 hearts as it says in the title.
