My book title is Deadlock. it is about the PI who lived in Chicago,USA named V.I Warshawski. She is a tough, thin, beautiful woman who carried a gun everyday to her office. She will never stop asking question until she get her answers and the solution to it. When one of her close cousin dies in an accident she was upset and cried the whole day then she wants to know and why it happened. She wasn't satisfied by the answer that she got so she goes on asking question but the more she asked the more people died during the investigation
The book I'm reading is Far From The Madding Crowd. The book is about a girl named Baths hebe Everdene, she is a young and independent woman that can marry any man she chooses. There were 3 men that wanted to marry her. she falls in love with one of them but she soon wishes she didn't, she learns that love brings pain and can destroy lives. I don't personally like the book but other may like it .
I read the book ghost stories that is retold by Rosemary Border, it is a fantasy and horror book and the book consist of 6 scary stories but I recommend this book for adults who likes ghost stories so much because the second story that they tell is scary and if it happens in this world I would be shock. In this book there is a ghost of a cruel person who takes pleasure in death, a ghost who died in a horrible accident in a game, a kind ghost that wants to help people but instead puts them in danger, a ghost who wants to make people live calm, happy lives, the ghost of a murderer who wants to find peace and many ghost that repeats the journey that took them dead. Even though it is a scary book, I still find this book enjoyable and mysterious. If I will rate this book I will rate this book 4 star for the horror and the fantasy.
I recommend this book to those who like thrillers
I read the book The Mayor of Casterbridge. The book tells a story about an alcoholic guy who was so poor. He went around places to look for a job. He went around with his wife and his daughter. Then, they stopped to eat something and the guy drank alcohol and he got drunk. When he was drunk, he accidentally sold his daughter and his wife to a sailor. Years later, the wife and the daughter went searching for the guy and they found him in casterbridge. When they met him, he was the mayor of casterbridge and he was a very rich businessman. I really recommend this book! Its a very nice book. I rate this book 4/5
My book is called Great Expectations. It is a book written by a famous author called charles dickens whom wrote a book that i also read called David copperfield i think those 2 books are very similar as both talks about a boy who experiences love and torture.

When pip grows up he sees a girl called estella whom he falls in love with. Estellas foster mother is called miss havisham and she was abandoned during her wedding day so since then she has a grudge towards all boys and wants estella to break all the boys hearts. After pip slowly lives through live he realises that there is a mystery that will slowly be unwrapped. I rate this book a 4.5 stars over 5 as it is a very nice book about a persons life.

Little House in the Big Woods, from the series of Laura Ingalls Wilder The series of Laura Ingalls Wilder written by herself focuses on the various events of her younger days. And Little House in the Big Woods depicts a little girl who lived in the big woods of Wisconsin in a little house made out of nothing but logs. Laura has two siblings, Mary the oldest and Carrie the baby, since Mary had blonde hair and was well-mannered while Laura was a brunette and was tomboyish Laura had always envied Mary. Laura's family were very poor thus they had some limitations and had to suffice with their decent-enough living style. Everyday Laura would play with her doll,Susan (sadly Susan was just a corncob) together with Mary who had a neatly dressed doll. Christmas times were the best for Laura as she got presents and was able to celebrate with her family on the other hand, winters were the worst as her family needed to be as thrifty as possible and Laura was not able to run around the green ground in winters. As Laura matures she faces many heartbreaking and wonderful things which happened to her. Laura was able to deliver her story in such a mesmerizing way such that I felt the need to experience what she had experienced especially in Laura's story everyday was filled with new adventures. I really enjoy reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder series so I rate this book 5/5
