Book-et List

The Graveyard Book
By: Neil Gaiman
In my own little mind, I've always been a little bit of an off-set, though I strive to make others think differently; but Bod couldn't care less. He's excluded to living in the graveyard because the second he leaves, he dies. For as long as I can remember I've loved the paranormal and mystery books, and this seems like a great one to peak my interest.


Artemis Fowl
By: Eoin Coller
Being a teenager rich beyond your wildest dreams? Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Everyone dreams of having a little spare change, and I'm no exception. I can't wait to see what possible troubles lie ahead for a teenager with more than pocket change.


Peeps
By: Scott Westerfeld
The vampire trend is out. Old news. Yesterday's meatloaf; but this is something new. No one wants to even be a carrier of this disease. Yes, I was a huge fan of Twilight until all the movies came out, ruining my entire image of Edward and Bella (darn you Robert and Kristen!). This book is something still far from mundane, but still on the fringes of a horrifying reality. Definitely look forward to reading this! Not to mention, Westerfeld is the author of the Uglies series, which I absolutely loved!


Children of the Fog
By: Cheryl Kaye Tardif
Being a mom without being a mother, there's always a fear of something happening to my baby brother, seeing how he's only five years old. In this book, little five-year-old Sam is kidnapped by "The Fog", along with another little girl. If nothing else, I just need to find out what happens to Sam.


Kite Runner
By: Khaled Hosseini
Upon a little amount of research, I found I could relate to Amir, a boy whose father is critical of him beyond reasonable, and the fact that Amir is a writer. Being one myself, I wonder how much different his life would play out in an entirely different world where expectations are higher, and the risks are much greater for insubordination.


Beautiful Demons
By: Sarra Cannon
Witchcraft is something that, although I have no interest in pursuing, is irrevicobly interesting to read about in books. And when the new girl in town turns out to be "cheerleader worthy", she's instantly recruted. The only thing different with this squad? They're witches. How can such a huge secret be kept in a school that size? Peachville isn't exactly NYC.


City of Ashes
By: Cassandra Clare
City of Bones capitvated me. Very rarely will I get so caught up in the drama of a fictional world that I'll physically yell at the characters when they make stupid choices or run off without a word to the wind. These books are one of those rare times. Not to mention I'm a hopeless romantic. So when Clary and Simon slowly start to become more than friends in their own mundane world, it makes it that more more enticing.


November Blues
By: Sharon M. Draper
November has lost her boyfriend to a stupid stunt a few of his friends put together. Worse so, she's pregnant. Even though I don't have a boyfriend myself, nor am I pregnant, I can't imagine losing the one person you loved most, and having to face such a trying time alone. How can she?


Beautiful Darkness
By: Kami Garcia
I read the first book "Beautiful Creatures" a few years back and loved it. It wasn't until today I realized there were more! (Cue the excitement). In this book, Ethan is tested more than Lena when horrible visions start to plague his thoughts. I can't wait to find out what more dark secrets hide within the cracked sidewalks and moss covered trees of Gatlin.


Two or Three Things I Forgot to Tell You
By: Joyce Carol Oates
Things left unsaid can be the hardest to live down. When someone dies, how can you tell them you're sorry? That you still had something left to say? I know exactly how the main character feels. My best friend died, and I never even got to tell him bye. This book will hopefully ease that little knot resonating in my chest by living the life of the girl with a few things she forgot to tell.
