1. Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
Although the writing took a bit of getting use to, I really did enjoy the book. Grace had me rooting for her the entire time which was nice because I like being able to bond with the characters. Simon on the other hand... totally creeped me out.
2.The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk KiddIt was pretty good and I liked the movie too.
Man... I really need to get reading! I've been so lazy lately.. well, not physically, just mentally. :P
3.Major Barbara by George Bernard ShawIt was pretty good although I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't have to rush through it for a stupid school unit.
Lol! Well, I'm taking English Literature 12 as a home course since it isn't offered at school and the reason it was rushed was because they stuck GBS in the very last unit. The unit has 6 sections and he only received one of them. Oh and the unit needed to be finished by the end of May... I just started at the beginning of May.I plan to read more of his stuff at a more leisurely pace once I'm done with this course. He has some amazing quotes!
4.The Plains Of Passageby Jean M. AuelIt had it's interesting parts but was sort of a bore for most of it.
5. The Shelters of Stone by Jean M. AuelIt was better than the previous one but still a tad repetitive... I'm glad Ayla had a girl although I wasn't too fond of the name.
7. Atonement by Ian McEwanIt was extremely good and well written. Although, I really wish that I hadn't watched the movie first... :(
8. The Summoning by Kelley ArmstrongGoooooood! At first I was a bit unsettled by how different it was from her previous books but I soon adjusted and finished it in no time. For me, Kelley Armstrong can do no wrong.
10. The Gargoyle by Andrew DavidsonFor the first couple of chapters.. okay, for the entire book I was sort of like, "What the fuck am I reading?!"
But the entire time.. I had to finish it. Andrew Davidson is an amazing writer and although this book was utterly bizarre it was extremely captivating.
12. Uglies by Scott WesterfeldIt was pretty decent.. kept me interested so that's fantastic. :) Looking forward to reading the next one although I'm in no hurry.
13. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba BrayI really liked this book.. hence why I reread it. :)
14. Rebel Angels by Libba Bray
Lovvvvveeee. Kartik and Gemma just need to get together already.
