The Bad Beginning
This is the first book of a popular series by Mr. Snicket. I'm surprised I've waited this long to read it! The Bad Beginning is very short, sweet, and straight to the point. Also very suspenseful!

Mark of Athena
I really enjoyed The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. It is a fast-paced adventure with a lot of action that you will never want to put down.

On top of all that, Annabeth is searching for the Mark of Athena, an object stolen from Athena that has been missing for centuries, that involves as quest for chosen children of Athena, in which no one has ever come back alive.

The Truth about Forever
I love The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. It is a lively book, and the characters could be somebody you could relate to. Macy has her summer perfectly planned, so as to make sure nothing unexpected happens. But her summer plans are turned upside down. Her plans including a job at the library, didn't include a job at Wish Catering. And her plans with her perfect boyfriend, Jason, did not include Wes. But Macy learns to expect the unexpected, and the least likely things are sometimes the things you really need

Beauty Queens
The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought
this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their
state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly,
their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the
survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner.
What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?
What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?
This crazy, yet funny book about beauty queens stranded on a no-so-deserted island makes fun of reality shows and so much more. Fake commercials and fake reality shows included, this book reads like Gilligan's Island with beauty queens. Enjoy!

Umbrella Summer
A very "radiant" book. It covers grief and how to deal with letting love-ones go while still remembering them very well. I would recommend this to all ages.

Black Beauty
This is classic book about a horse named Black Beauty. The story follows Black's life from horse fairs to taxi cabs,and from good homes to bad ones. It's interesting because it was written during a time when horse abuse was common, because horses were the way to travel. It was an okay read for me, but would be a lot better read if you loved horses.
