The Last Song

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a good book. Before I got to around pg 100, I couldn't stand Ronnie, the main character. After a little way in- the character changes and you find out why she has the attitude problem. It makes it a bit more tolerable, however, I still think she is a brat. The ending was appropriate and a bit predictable. I really like the spiritual aspect of this book. I read it a week before Easter and really enjoyed reading it around Easter time. Defintiely read this book before seeing the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but I can imagine it being good. I always find the books better than the movies though. Heads up- this is a tearjerker. I recommend a box of Kleenex towards the end. You'll need it!

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved this book! Totally unique from anything else I've read. It did remind me of Total Drama Island a bit, but only in really funny ways. Other than that- totally unique. What a great writing style. Easy to read. Easy to pick up where you left off. Hard to put down!!! I highly recommend this book to everyone. If you live in a bubble and haven't read it yet- please do. You'll be glad you did!

To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is definitely not a quick read. It took me a long time to get through it. However, I am not sure whether it is because I didn't want it to end or if it was poorly written. A classic- definitely. A favorite? Not necessarily. Although I found it interesting, it was just too slow for me to really call it a favorite. Definitely a must read though. How can you not read a classic?

50 Rules

50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School: Real World Antidotes to Feel-Good Education by Charles J. Sykes


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. I randomly picked it up from the library one day when I was in the mood for a self-help book. I found this one very entertaining and all so true. I plan on reading this book with my children once they are a bit older. I think all children would benefit from this book and it's "rules."
