I LOVE TO READ!

So after a long hiatus I remembered that I love to read this summer! I have been reading non-stop and have finished more books in the last 2 months than I have in the last 4 years. I thought I would go ahead and share with you some of the great books and authors I have discovered.

1. Twilight Saga – I just finished the 4th book in this series by Stephenie Meyer and all I can say is that they are addicting. I posted about the book Twilight before and how I initially didn’t think I would like the book because it’s a vampire type love story. Well Twilight and its sequels New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn some of the best books I have read in a long time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good series of books to start reading. In fact, I like these books so much I plan on re-reading them soon.

2. The Host – This is another book by Stephenie Meyer and it was advertised as “science fiction for people who don’t like science fiction.” Well I absolutely hate science fiction books but decided to give it a try anyway because I liked the Twilight Saga so much. Well for the first 100 pages of the book, I was disappointed. It was weird and way to science fictiony for me. Then all of a sudden something changed and the book became very compelling and interesting. Stephenie Meyer is a great story teller and her books have a way of just pulling you in. So if you don’t mind reading through a little bit of weirdness at the start of a book, I recommend you pick up the Host.

3. Shannon Hale books – And last but not least I love Shannon Hale books. Most of Shannon’s books are considered young adult books but her books the Goose Girl and Princess Academy are both really cute light reads I would recommend to anyone. And her first adult geared novel, Austenland also is a really cute light read.
