Anthem by Ayn Rand


Anthem by Ayn Rand, was yet another book that I had to read for school. I honestly thought that I was going to hate this book, but surprisingly it was pretty good. This book is set up in a communist society. The whole book is centered around Equality 7-2521. The book is from his point of view. Since he was little he had always felt like he had been missing something. He was different than most of the others and many people didn't like it. He was always guilty for the transgression of preference because in this society everything is supposed to be equal. The plot was a solid plot, and while you can see some of the big reveals for lack of a better word coming, many of them are unexpected. I think that just that fact alone was enough to make me like the book. Like I said it was a good book. It wasn't the best book I've ever read, but it also wasn't the worst book I've ever read. Overall it was a good book and I really enjoyed it.

Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Unwind by Neal Shusterman
          This was a book that I had to read for school as one of my assignments. At first I was quite hesitant to read this book as the last book that I read for school was awful. This book was not the type of thing that I usually read. How far in the future this is set isn't clear, but it is set in the United States. The premise of this book is that there was a war called the heartland war. The two sides of the war were pro choice and pro life. In order to appease both sides, an agreement was forced. The agreement states that you have to keep a child until the age of thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen that child can be unwound. Both sides agreed to this, because it was stated that the child would still be alive. The process of unwinding is when they basically take a child apart while they are still alive and sell their parts to the people who are in need of those parts. For example, amputees who had lost a leg would pay for a new one from an unwind. The story follows three unwinds who are trying to escape so that they are not unwound, now as boring as this may sound, this book was well written and totally worth the money and time. Like I said before this story was good but not for the faint of heart. Some parts can get quite disturbing and quite graphic. This is a three part series and I definitely plan on reading the other two books so stay tuned for some more  updates from me this month. :)
                                                                                                                   Hope you guys go read this,

Crave and Sacrifice by Laura J. Burns & Melinda Metz


Crave Series by Melinda Metz and Laura J. Burns

Both of these books were well written. I loved them. They take the view of a traditional vampire love story, like Twilight, and they blur it. In the first book, It is all about Shay, the sick girl. and in the second book it's all about the connections that are made and lost. I can't say that much about it without giving away parts of the major plot, but I enjoyed both of these books a lot.

The secondhand charm

The secondhand charm by Julie Berry is amazing. This author captured the power of magic perfectly. I feel that her whole book is a metaphor. This book, I have to say, was a little bit boring in the beginning, but push through and you will end up reading a very good very powerful book.

Firelight

This book is amazing. Not only is it paranormal and romance, it also has action. Firelight, is a wonderfully written book and I would definitely recommend it. This book is about a forbidden romance and also explains the importance of family. You definitely need to read firelight by Sophie Jordan
