Books. Many, many books.

This past week I read a lot of books. I also forgot to blog about them as soon as I finished them, so this post is going to be 7 books long and will be slightly different from my other reviews. I will still have the cover picture but not the synopsis. I will say a little blurb about the book and then move on. And I am trying to think of a rating system. If you like this format better than my other one, let me know.
So, first up is...

The Goddess Test by Aimée Carter
BECOME IMMORTAL OR DIE TRYING
A wonderful retelling of one of my favorite myths.You don't quite know what is going to happen until the last chapter.The characters are funny and it is easy to understand Kate's feelings. I recommend it.











Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken
This fantasy takes you to a whole new world. A world that you have never encountered before. It took me a while to get into this beautifully woven (hehe) tale but when I did I didn't want to come back to the real world. Plus, this book has a map. You can't go wrong with mapped books.










Wither by Lauren DeStefano
LOOK AT THE COVER. Now that I've said that, imagine a story that was as pretty and as awesome as the cover. Add into that story forbidden, forced, and unrequited love, humans that have predestined life-spans of 20 (females) and 25 (males), and a wonderfully dystopian future. Now add a little more awesomeness. Your final mental image should be somewhere near what Wither was like for me.








The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
IRON. ICE. A LOVE DOOMED FROM THE START.
After months of my mom saying that she loved this series, I read it. I just want to say that she should have locked me in a room with nothing to do except read this book. This book is hilarious and filled to the brim with sarcasm. If you have a sudden urge to read this book, that is because I am using subliminal messages.








Paper Towns by John Green
Look! More maps! And if we are following what I said earlier about maps, this book can't go wrong. This book starts with an adventure, slips into a mystery, and builds tension as high as the Empire State Building. This is a MUST READ.










The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
This book is a treat. It is sweet and wonderful and you can't seem to get enough.It is filled with sweets and magic of a small Southern town. Everyone has secrets and in this town the secrets are larger than life.











Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
I couldn't read this haunting tale fast enough, yet I didn't want it to end. It was beautiful and brimming with desolation. So many things that seem to contradict each other walk hand in hand. I have also decided that authors are getting too good at building tension.









My next read will most likely be rereading both the Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch and Night by Elie Wiesel. And to stop any confusion I may have started, the Reading Recommendations page is for you to recommend books that I should read and review.
