I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, but in many countries, there is a big break coming up, and I thought I would share some good vacation-type reads. So put these on hold at the perpustakaan now to prepare for a long period of time for relaxation and good reading.

1. His Dark Materials oleh Philip Pullman
(The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)-I read this series once over a break and it is fantastic. Deep and meaningful while still a quick read. The 2nd one is my favorite.

2. Anna Karenina oleh Leo Tolstoy
This is probably a challenge for a lot of people, but it's one of the most amazing buku I have ever read. I tackled this one over a natal break and finished in a little over a week. It's a good book to go for when anda have a long stretch of time to devote to it.

3. Inheritance series oleh Christopher Paolini
(Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr) This is a good chance to catch up before the 4th book comes out. (Anyone know when that is, btw?) People may laugh at this pick, but the buku are very easy reads and pretty addicting. You'll get into them quickly which is perfect for the holidays. anda want to relax after all!

4. 1984 oleh George Orwell
If you've been putting it off, now's your chance to read this timeless classic!

5. Watership Down oleh Richard Adams
I know a book about rabbits on a quest sounds ridiculous but this book is completely wonderful. You'll get through it in no time.

6. Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales
This book looks intimidating, but each of the stories are very short and they are magical. anda will cinta this. Plus, you've got time to kill ;)

7. Lord of the Rings oleh J.R.R. Tolkien
Now, I understand that this task is a little overwhelming, but at least try to finish one of these 3 buku over break. I promise it's still good even if anda spread it out. Tackle one this break, another in the spring and the last one over the summer.

8. The Girl of the Limberlost oleh Gene Stratton Porter
I completely loved this book when I was 15. It's a beautiful story. It has little to do with vacation, but it's a thick book, though a quick read once anda get into it.

9. Birth of Venus oleh Sarah Dunant
If anda like historical fiction, this one was very surprising to me in a good way. I usually don't go straight for the bestsellers, I'm lebih of a classics girl, but I'd say this is a good vacation book.

10. The Last Wife of Henry VIII oleh Carolly Erickson
Another historical fiction. I learned a lot about English history and about Henry VIII and his many wives. The buku starts when he's still married to his first wife. I read this book literally from cover to cover without setting it down. A great fast read.

So there anda have it. This is not a daftar of my favorit buku (though many do fit into that category) but instead a true daftar of buku I think anda will find very enjoyable over vacation. So challenge yourself and read as many as possible atau even just one! Let me know what anda think, I'd cinta to hear comments.

Now, there are two types of memoirs in my mind: those about famous people, and those that aren't. Both have their pros and cons. lebih people are likely to notice a famous memoir at the bookstore and buy it based on the celebrity's name -- but "common folk" memoirs don't have pre-conceptions, politics, and religious perspectives to overcome. atau you're like me, who likes whatever she reads as long as its good. Whatever anda like to read, here are a few memorable memoirs that I'd recommend anda read.

With memoirs written oleh writers, anda rightfully expect that the memoir is as good of a read as their...

When Psyche receives a prophecy gone horribly wrong, she learns that even the most beautiful girl in Greece can have a hideous future. Her fate? Fall in cinta with the one creature even the gods fear.

ADORABLE. Days after finishing Destined, I can’t stop thinking about it. And every time I do, I get this warm, fuzzy feeling in my stomach. After...

"Only Revolutions" tells the tale of two teenagers whose youth and whose cinta are the only constants in a world in perpetual flux. This book has garnered a fair share of controversy. Some herald it as genius, others as nonsensical and gimmicky.

Seeing as I haven't diposting an artikel here yet I thought I'd type up a little something. This'll be a daftar of buku that I read and some mini reviews of them; seeing as there are a lot, I will be utilizing my reviews from 'Goodreads'. Some reviews will be cut short to keep the length down.
Some reviews will have spoilers.

First and foremost, I cinta Lex. She's sassy, funny, and sarcastic. She also was all head over heals for Driggs. anda can tell she likes him, but it doesn't turn the story into some silly stupid romance novel, basically it didn't obstruct the plot. I really really loved,...

I highly recommend this book: Edenbrook oleh Julianne Donaldson.

I've never read a book this good. It had my stomach churning and flipping and I swear I reread every paragraph a kajillion times, I couldn't get enough. It is a page turning, intense, action filled romance.

Here's the catch: it is during the regence era (like old England, Pride and Prejudice). BUT don't let that scare anda off. The penulis writes in a way that twists modern menulis and makes it feel old and rustic. It isn't in that big fancy menulis where anda have to look up every other word and read the sentance twice just to understand...

Well it's been a bulan atau so since my last "10 Books" article, so as promised, I'm back with lebih suggestions. I want to point out that these are my personal opinions, and I stand behind every book I add to any list. I cinta science fiction and fantasi and I wanted this daftar to reflect some of the buku I believe anyone can enjoy whether these are their favorit genres atau not. I intend to add 10 new buku to every list, so if anda feel one is missing, please refer to my other lists as I may have already mentioned them. As always, I welcome your comments!

Hi there everyone!

I'm a writer and I'd cinta some international support for my story that I already gave to my favorit actor Colin morgan personally as a gift. He inspired me for a certain character and it was diberikan lebih as a sign of gratitude for the inspiration rather than for him to read it. No idea if he ever would, but I just hope the effort I put into translating it just for him made him happy that day. What a brilliant actor ^^ Anyways - I've created a club and this account itself for communicating with future readers. I don't want to bother anyone with it, but how else could anda let...

Okay, so there are a few buku that are waiting for me to read, I will also include the ones that I want to read.

1) To Kill a Mockingbird

Sadly I did not manage to finish it as I read this book 10 years ago, since I got its sequel, I will definitely pick it up again.

2) The Hunger Games: Catching api & Mockingjay

I had read the first book already, I am planning to watch the movie soon.

3) Go Set a Watchman

Yeap, the sequel of To Kill a Mockingbird, however I have been hearing that this book has been causing controversy. Guess I have to read the book first to find out!

4) The Divergent Trilogy...
