Luv 2 Read

This blog includes book reviews and recommendations for teen readers

I've heard so much about Sarah J. Mass (mostly her Throne of Glass series) and I thought it was about time to check out one of her books. One of my favorite booktubers, readwithcindy, despises this series. I, on the other hand, loved it! Well, the first book. This series follows a human girl, Feyre, who has to provide for her father and two younger sisters. On a hunting trip for food, she kills a wolf who happens to be from another world. When Tamlin shows up to drag her to his kingdom as punishment, she gets thrown into a dangerous game. If she loses, not only is her family and Tamlin in trouble, but everyone's doomed. Lot's of writers will say they have a strong female character and not follow through, Sarah, on the other hand, did. Feyre's a strong female character who doesn't like being pushed around and I appreciated that. Even though she was thrown into a whole new world, she held her head high and did the best she could to survive. Her sisters, though, were ......
First off, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this book yet. Let me start with a little bit of back story: I used to despise reading. I know, I know. It's hard to believe considering how into reading I am. My mom, being the reading specialist she is, would bring home books from the library trying to get my head into a book. She would PAY me to read!! She would bring home mostly fictional books that I thought were childish. I was, no, am extremely picky. Then, one day, she brought home a book that a librarian recommended called "Switched". I was already intrigued by the cover. It was blood red with a girl sitting in a field of flowers and the shadow of a castle in the background. I remember sitting on the bed in our guest bedroom, opening the book, and starting to read it. The first words I read were "When I was eleven, my mother was convinced I was a monster and tried to kill me." I was already in love. It was suspenseful and beautifully written. Of c......
Haunt Me was about a teenage girl who moved to a new house with her parents and sister and starts talking with a ghost named Joe who's been stuck in her new room. Erin and Joe work together to figure out what exactly happened to him and they start falling for each other. Meanwhile, she has to deal with problems at school and seeing Joe's brother, Olly, who used to be the king of the school until Joe's death. Not only is Erin falling for Joe she also starts feeling something for Olly. Will she end up telling Olly that she can see his dead brother? How will Joe and Erin deal with their feelings for each other? In the end, will she choose to be with Joe? or Olly? This book gave me so many mixed feelings. On one hand, I loved it! The story telling was great and the relationship between the main character and the brothers was insanely interesting. On the other hand, the ending was disappointing and felt rushed. I mean, I know she had to choose one brother, but it came and went ......
Cassie and her family were doing pretty well until The Others came. First, everything powered down; airplanes, phones, cars, lights, everything. Then, only the ones who didn't get washed away survived. The third wave killed Cassie's mother, along with millions more, with a plague. The arrival of the Silencers, a group of 'Others' who were sent to kill leftover humans. That's when they came. For safety, the kids were taken to a military base, to be trained to fight. Including her younger brother, Sam. When she is accidentally left behind, she has to find her way back to him. When she is shot, she is helped by Evan, another teenager trying to survive. When she is finally healed, he helps her search for her brother, and that's when it hits: The 5th wave. I'll give the first book in the series four stars and second book three stars. I wish that the second one would have been at a slower pace. As for the first book, I felt as if it was written more clearly. I l......

Hi everyone. I read Chosen a few days ago. I recommend this book to ages 12-16. It had a good story line and it was very enticing. It's a Paranormal book. It's not too scary and it has romance. Here's the description:           Seventeen-year-old Tracy Bachman feels that something is missing in her life. Despite a normal beginning, she can't help but hope for more. That is why she decides to transfer to a new boarding school, that is all the way across the country. An Unforgettable Adventure When Tracy arrives at her new school, she expects a normal life. But what she finds there instead changes her in many ways. A love interest she did not ask for. A power she does not know about.  And a clique of mysterious, popular girls determined  to include Tracy in their affairs. A Hidden Purpose The girls Tracy meets all know she is different. Beneath their easy smiles lies a friendship laced with dark and unknown intentions. Will Tracy understand w......
