Books!

Alright, so thanks to an excellent recommendation from my friend Stephanie, I have decided this blog will be about one of my favorite things...books! I have loved books for almost my entire life, and I've been reading since I was about three, so this is a great subject for me!

Currently I am finishing up "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. It is a fabulous book, a new favorite of mine, and should definitely go on anyone's must-read list if you enjoy a heart-warming(and heart-wrenching in parts) story. I am going to see the movie tomorrow, and cannot wait, so I will be sure to mention it in my blog, or perhaps just write my own review of it tomorrow!

Of course, this wouldn't be a very good book blog if I didn't mention some of my other favorite books. One of my all-time favorite series is the Warriors series(and also the Seekers series) by Erin Hunter. These books are found in the childrens/young reader section of your bookstore/library, but they are not childishly written, and I have been captivated by them and their incredible stories and brilliantly written characters for many years now. Now if you haven't heard of or read these books, you should definitely go check them out!

Now, how could this be a book blog if I didn't mention two of the biggest teen/young adult/adult book series in the country(and the world!) Twilight and Harry Potter. Now, I am a huge fan of both of these series(yes, that IS possible!) and I have read all the books and seen the movies for both. I think they are both fabulously written, and on the INCREDIBLY slim chance Stephenie Meyer or J.K. Rowling were to read this(hey, it could happen...in a dream), I would just like to take this moment to request more books from the both of you! I know you both ended your respective series and are working on new projects(at least I certainly hope so, because we can't get enough of your work!), and I have no wish to see either series drag on just for the sake of having more books, but a follow up story to catch up with your characters would be an AWESOME touch, in my opinion, and certainly something readers would love!

Well, I think I have gone on enough for one blog! Thanks for reading, and until next time...

Live and Love(and read!),
Melanie

  1. I've told you this in person already, but if you enjoyed Twilight and such, you should read The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It's an adult book (but not really, it's perfectly fine for teens), and it's sort of like... science fiction for those who don't like science fiction. hahaha. Anyway, I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend it to you.
