I enjoyed this book. I love John Green and Maureen Johnson and I've read a lot of their books. I have only read one of Lauren Myracle's and I don't really remember much except I liked it. At any rate, all three plots were fun and depicted beautifully the thoughts and lives of a bunch of teenagers. The characters were likable and realistic. I was not surprised that I liked this book, it was well-written and fun, all three authors and brilliant.
Rating - 7/10
2.) I am Number Four - Pittacus Lore
This book was pretty good. I usually can't stand books about aliens just because they end up being too Sci-fi for my taste, however I thought this was a good blend of fantasy and sci-fi. The plot was innovative keeping my interested and on edge. My only complaint would be against the characters. I didn't really believe them. They were easy enough to relate to, however I thought that certain people fell flat and almost seemed forced. I recommend this book because it is a fun read.
Rating - 6/10
3.) Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
This has been on my list for ages and I always put it off because I knew in AP English we read it. So, my class just finished it and I will say I was not disappointed. I am a huge sucker for dystopian novels, I'm not sure what I find so compelling about them but I will read countless stories about the price of progress. Brave New World was intriguing and slightly scary. This book is interesting because while some aspects as so far fetched that they are hard to imagine others hit really close to home. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially if you love dystopian novels.

4.) Mugglenet.com’s What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7: Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Falls in Love And How Will the Adventure Finally End?
I had not touched this book since I read it in Fall '06. It was written by many members of the popular Harry Potter fan site Mugglenet before we knew anything about the final installment of the Harry Potter series. I only picked this up because I was avoiding something else, but going back and reading all the theories fan has before DH came out. My favorite part was reading the stats on who would live and die and how completely wrong some of them were. If you want to relive the blindness the world had before DH came out, I would read this because it fun and definitely well written.
Rating - 6/10
5.) An Abundance of Katherines - John Green
So, I love John Green. I follow his and Hank's Youtube channel I've read all of his books, this being the final one. While I still loved this book, Colin was a normal confused Dumpee, I don't think this is my favorite John Green book. It was well written and funny ( I literally laughed out loud while reading it during my study hall) it was probably my least favorite of his books. That being said, I would recommend this book because it was witty and catchy.
8/10
So, there we go. Only 45 more books to go...that sounds daunting. But I can do it!
Till next time.
Today's Recommendation: Lord of the Rings. Pretty much Lord of the Rings anything. I'm kind of obsessed right now, I've watched the first two movies and I am about a fourth through the first book. They are pretty awesome
