(i know, everyone goes crazy over that last one. but it was awful. and I never read books that I end up wishing I hadn't!)
because this blog is designed to bring to you what is real, I'd love to hear your opinions also! did you hate any books that I loved? why? and what was it about ender's game that you loooooved?
Have you heard of The Maze Runner by James Dashner? It's a trilogy and it kind of has like a Hunger Gamesish theme. I've read the first one and its not bad. I haven't read Jane Eyre but I'm going to now :)
ReplyDeletei'm just starting to read "Wildwood Chronicles" and it is gettin' good. Plus the illustrations are adorable.
ReplyDeleteyou hated life of pi?! i just finished it today, and thought it was one of the most beautiful stories i've ever read. and being a literature major, that's saying something! hahah. i loved his voice, pi's love of God, and martel's urging to have his readers simply believe in God. loved loved loved.
ReplyDeleteps: screw ender's game. it was good in 7th grade, but let's move on and upward.
