Harper Collins 6/27/2017
TBWC Rating: 5/5 stars 
The Verdict: A quick read, a compeling read 
 I wondered about this book and never thought it was going to be good until I read it and even after that i felt guilty loving this book. I mean it was so good! Now I did listen to this book on audio from my library and I will definitely be buying this book. I think the whole story is a beautiful heart loving story.








Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 
Orion publishing co 7/07/2014
TBWC Rating: 2/5 
The Verdict: Wasn't that interested
As I was reading the book I couldn't even focus on it. I thought it was a really boring and slow. Now I love Rainbow Rowell, I think she is an amazing writer but still this wasn't her best book. I thought that the characters were okay and if there was a little more i think I would've liked it more. 









 

Divergent by Veronica Roth 
Harper Collins 10/05/2012
TBWC Rating: 5/5 Stars 
The Verdict: Amazing story 
I did a big thing and I wish I didn't. I saw the movie first, I know, I know, I did a very bad thing, but to be far I liked the book better. Anyways I think this was a timeless, amazing book.










Miss Peregine's home for Peculiar Children 
Quirk Books 6/04/2013
TBWC Rating : 4.5/5
The Verdict: A compelling story 
I have been wanting to watch this movie so bad and I was going to until I realized I haven't read the book. When I got the book I thought it wouldn't be that interesting but as I got through the book I realized this book is amazing the only thing I wish some of the photos weren't together but I love the photos, I think they mad the book 10x better. 








The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne 
WordSworth Editions LTD 8/01/1997 
TBWC Rating: 3/5 
The Verdict: Interesting but boring and slow 
Now when I say this book is slow I don't mean it in a bad way, I think since this is a classic I can't even sit here and give a good enough opinion without someone saying anything but oh well. so I liked the book, I think the story line was very good but I didn't like to speed of the book.I think if the speed of the book was fast I would have liked it better but because of that, I didn't. 










Uprooted by Naomi Novik 
Pan Macmillan 5/5/2016 
TBWC Rating: 5/5 
The verdict: Amazing Fantasy 
I think it is funny that I actually read this book, I mean alot of people hate this book but yet again I loved it, I think it was an amazing story that was told perfectly. I wouldn't change anything about this book at all.

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all. Yet each of these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened, leper-like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. Arelon's new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris.
