You must read "The Fault in our Stars" and my fresh ink.

OK, So I have fallen head over heels with John Green's writing.  What a genius!  "The Fault in our Stars" was quite easily one of the best books I have ever read.  Paper Towns was also fabulous.  I did something a little crazy today, and I could not be happier that I did!  My ode to Looking for Alaska....

Yep, I'm STILL reading!

Here are a few more books for your consideration!


1.  "Flat-Out Love" by Jessica Park....ok, LOVE this author. LOVE LOVE LOVE.  The dialogue and banter between the characters is outstanding, the story is heart warming, and funny.  And sad.  And cute.  and kick ass.  AND the author, Jessica Park, is hilarious and really has a way with words. (and much better than Jodi Picoult, I may add).  Are you buying it yet??  You should be!

2.  "Hana" by Lauren Oliver.....this is a short story, about 50 pages I think.  If you are a fan of her Delirium series (you should be!) this is a MUST read.  It is from her best friends POV, and, for me, put a new spin on things.  Trust me, it puts Hana in a new light, good or bad, I won't tell!

3.  "Eden" by Jamie McGuire....The final installment of the "Providence" series does NOT disappoint!  I loved every second of it, even though I am sad to say goodbye to Nina and Jared (especially Jared!) I am pleased with the ending....maybe they could continue in a series about Claire and Ryan??  hint hint.   This is a trilogy that you definitely need to read if you haven't started already.

4.  "Gabriel's Inferno" by Sylvain Reynard....ok, I have to admit that since I read 50 Shades I have kind of become a romance fan....and I found this book really exciting, kind of dangerous...just a great late night read.  I really fell for the characters by the end.  So if you like a little romance, this is a book for you!

"Insurgent" by Veronica Roth.....WOW!

SO, I don't know if I have to say again that DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth is one of my favorite books.  Today INSURGENT was released (book 2 of the trilogy) and OMG it is amazing (I finished it in 6 hours)!  Sometimes I find that the second book in a trilogy is the weakest as it is just the catalyst to the end of the story and usually isn't as exciting as the beginning or end.  BUT not this one!  It was amazing from page 1 until the final page.  Now I just cannot believe I have to wait probably a year for the next book.  UGH.
