Hello. I am still in my reading mojo and I've decided to take a different stance at picking what book to read. I already have a small list of books I would like to read myself, BUT to extend that list, I've come up with the idea of reading my friends' favorite books.
I feel like a person's favorite book has to say something about their character, and who they are. (In case you're curious, my favorite book is The Hobbit). So, I've asked the Herd for all of their favorite books, and everything they've said is definitely going to go on my reading list.
- Vicki -
- The Giver - Lois Lowry (#1)
- (tied for 2nd)
- Acceleration - Graham McNamee
- Miss Peregrine's Home - Ransom Riggs
- Crispin: The Cross of Lead - Avie
- Amy -
- The Host - Stephanie Mayer
- Rosa -
- Blood and Chocolate - Annette Curtis Klause
- Marianna -
- Bioshock: Rapture - John Shirley (personally very excited to read this)
- Vampire Academy - Richelle Mead
- Bailey -
- Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater
Yes, those are my friends' recommendations for me. I've already finished reading Acceleration (I've completed that 210 page novel in 2 days. #Ievenimpressedmyself). I have now moved onto Bioshock: Rapture. It's the prequel to the Bioshock video game series. I haven't played any of the games yet, but I do plan on it once I finish the book. Marianna says that she'll lend me the game eventually. Very excited for that.
It's great. As I'm reading Rapture, I can just... feel... how Marianna must've loved the book. Like, I can sort of feel Marianna's essence off of the book? If that makes any sense.
I don't know. But I hope you catch my drift.
So yep. That's the plan!
I've been doing so well with reading this year so far. I'm on my 6th book. I've read the Hobbit, Grace's Guide, Perks of Being a Wallflower, A Study in Scarlet, Acceleration, and NOW I am on the Rapture. Nice. *Self-five*
Thank you for reading :)
