Night
The Dark Road
The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind
The Secret Life Of Bees
These are the books I read over the break. I think I read quite steadily and with a good pace. My aim was volume, and to target books that were quite mature and made me think. My favourite book out of this stack was Little Bee; it's language, plot, and style of writing all bound together seamlessly. Next break I want to focus more on reading dark, thorough books with depth that can enhance my reading collection and book knowledge.
I would like to read more than 6 books next break!

I read Wonder and I also re-read If I stay.
I could have read Wonder in about a two days, but I did not want it to end because it was a book that I thought would be good to think about, then read the rest. The reason why I re-read If I stay was because I rushed through the book to watch the movie. I like to read the book before watching the movie because the books are more interesting and the movies sometimes cut out parts that are in the book.

My titles are: Eleanor and park, Divergent, when you reach me + catching fire which i kind of started but didn't continue, I think ill read that one in the future (:

The Old Man and the Sea
Inheritance

I read as much as I wanted to, and my reading went well this break. :) Most of them were "just right" books, and 1 of them was a "comfort" book.



Of Monsters and Men (Chaos Walking)
Four (Divergent series)
Solitaire
Love Letters to the Dead (I'm still reading this one)
I spent a lot of time reading over the holiday, but I read pretty slowly, so I didnt get to finish all the books I wanted to read. I read 3 and a half books, and 2 of them were part of a series. When I read the last book of the Chaos Walking series I reread the last couple of chapters so I could understand it better, but it was my favourite one I read this break.

I am quite a slow reader so it was really difficult for me to finish a book in just a couple days. I read the The Battle Hymn Of the Tiger Mother. Im am quite happy with what I read considering the time I had, I could have done better though.
I started to read Where She Went (If I stay 2) I am not that far into the book so I cant say if its that good, but I'm excited to get into it! I think this book is a Just right book as it isn't too complicated but not easy either.
This break I intended to read around three books, I chose this according to the amount of time I had and my level. I don't think I achieves this but I read about that much so its okay.



Oath-breaker
Prince Among Killers
The Nethergrim
Blood of Olympus
I am the Mission
Steel-heart
I enjoyed all these book except Oath-breaker and Prince Among Killers which were very confusing. These are really good books and I recommend to all.
Here are my titles -
Word Nerd
Noodle Pie
The Snow Queen
13: Thirteen Stories That Capture the Agony and Ecstasy of Being Thirteen
Maggot MoonThe Boat
I will book talk these one at a time through the week.
