Growing up, the people around me would all always find me with my nose in a book.
Once I got a bit older boys, friends, parties and so many other teenage things seemed to distract me from my love of reading. I would occasionally pick up a book and get half way through or quickly finish a trendy book like the hunger games.... but nothing that really stuck with me.
I have probably read close to a thousand books in my lifetime of only 20 years...
yet the other night when my manly friend asked what my favorite book was I felt like I hit a brick wall,
Out of all of the books I've read I couldn't really think of one and that made me feel absolutely horrible.
He inspired me to read again, he helped spark up that intense urge to find a book or shall I say books that have left an impact on my life.
Thankfully the whole finding a great book was a lot easier then expected....
soon after that conversation with Ryan my good friend Whitnee suggested a couple books to me. One just happened to be the Divergent series, which mind you just two weeks before someone else from church told me to read asap!
Clearly this girl really needed to start the series and let me tell you
I. Could. Not. Put. It. Down.
Absolutely amazing, it consumed my life for a bit to the point of me totally believing I was the main character, her accomplishes and tragedies were mine. I couldn't seem to escape it even in my dreams and I was totally okay with it!
75 days till the next and LAST installment to the series.... Just a tad obsessed if you can't tell.
The next book I read was called Hopeless... which Whitnee also recommend.
This book, wow, where do I even begin.
Lets just say I was expecting a nice little poolside read and found myself reading the most enticing love story with by far most devastating, but highly unpredictable twist.
It left me laughing to the point of sore abs to crying and feeling so disgusted that I literally couldn't sleep. It was such a shockingly beautiful story.
Let me emphasize again that it was literally nothing that I ever expected.
Whenever I bring it up to people the best way to describe it in the most simplest of terms
would be that the story literally bitch slapped me hard across the face with there twists and turns it had!
Apparently, there is a second book and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be picking that up real soon.
The next series I'm going to start is the Matched series.
I've seen them around and once I saw them on a blog.... sadly I follow so many and can't find the bloggers review that had me sold on the series.
But don't you worry I will keep you posted once I'm finished with these books too!
Here is a few books I have read in the past that have truly had an impact on my life.
So all you readers out there try and find a good book for you to read soon because let me tell you it is sooooo much more rewarding then the Shark Week
yuuuuuup I just went there.
