Day 30: Your Favorite Book of All time: Perks of Being a Wallflower

I just love the story and the character of Charlie so much. This book is just beautifully written and is filled many great quotes and moments. I like that this book just dealt with what happened during Charlie's first year of high school and didn't really have something happen just to cause problems I like that it just focused on characters and day to day life more.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 29: A book that everyone hated but I liked

Day 29: A book that everyone hated but I liked: Extras

It seemed like most people disliked Extras the fourth book in the Uglies series because it switched main characters and the storyline was different than the first three books. But I actually love Extras it's my favorite book in the series but I think that has to do with me liking Aya a lot more than I liked Tally. I also liked seeing what happened to their world after Specials.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 28: Favorite Title

 Day 28: Favorite Title: I'd Tell You I Love But then I'd Have to Kill You

I just really loved this title and I think that it fits the book well with the whole spy school were the girls are trained to kill among other things mixed with the trying to have a relationship with a nice normal boy.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 27: The Most Surprising plot twist or ending

Day 27: The Most Surprising plot twist or ending: The Summoning

The end of The Summoning had a ton of things happening towards the end of the book and it was all happening very quickly. The most surprising of the twist in my opinion is when Chloe discovers that her aunt is actually part of the Edison Group and that she hands Chloe over to them again. I also like that the plot twists continued at the beginning of the next book as well.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 26: A Book that changed my opinion about something

Day 26: A Book that changed my opinion about something: The Book Thief

The Book Thief is a book that showed me that during World War II the normal German citizen wasn't a Nazi and they were just trying to get by the best they could as well as coping with the effects of war going on all around them. This is actually one of the reason why I love this book because I feel like it humanizes the Germans during the part of history were most other things demonizes them.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 25: A Character you can relate to the most

Day 25: A Character you can relate to the most: Laura Wingfield from The Glass Menagerie

I relate to Laura because we are both painful shy and tend to think that mildly embarrassing things that no one else even notices are big deal. I also relate to her desire to make a world of her own rather than to face the real one. I also relate to how Laura likes to avoid conflict and will keep things from someone in order to avoid a fight or scolding even when I know that the other person will find out about it sooner or later.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 24: A Book I Wish more people would've read

Day 24: A Book I Wish more people would've read: The Darkest Powers series

The Darkest Powers series is a great YA fantasy series that knows how to balance the supernatural and romantic elements of it's stories. While the first book did start out a little slow the end of the first book and the entire second book more than made up for the initial slow pacing. I also really like the main character and find the would in which the story takes place in is very interesting. I find it a little strange that more people haven't read this series since it's so good.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 23: A Book you wanted to read for a long but still haven't

Day 23: A Book you wanted to read for a long but still haven't: Paranormalcy

I've wanted to read this book for over a year now and I still do because the plot sounds interesting and I have heard only good things about this book so far so I'm still looking forward to reading this book.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 22: Favorite Book you own

 Day 22: Favorite Book you own:Perks of Being a Wallflower

Perks of Being a Wallflower isn't just the favorite book I own but it's also my favorite book of all time. I love Perks of Being a Wallflower because it's beautifully written and has wonderful characters. There's not much of a plot but I'm more than happy to just read Charlie's thoughts as he goes through his first year of high school.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 21: Favorite book from my childhood

Day 21: Favorite book from my childhood: Harry Potter series

I really loved this series because it was set in such a magical world with an interesting plot and likable characters. Overall the series was very enjoyable and there's really not much I can say about that someone else hasn't said already.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 20: Favorite romance book

Day 20: Favorite romance book: Shiver

This book is my favorite romance because I love how emotionally intimate the relationship between Sam and Grace. I also love that the book switches between the two characters point of view and I love the writing because it's quite beautiful. I also find their relationship believable even though there's fantasy elements in the story and I love the characters as individuals as well as a couple which I think always makes a story more enjoyable.

3o Days of Books Challenge: Day 19: Favorite book turned into a movie

Day 19: Favorite book turned into a movie: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

I love the book and I love the movie because it brought the book alive in ways that were better than I could imagine. I also like that the movie was pretty close to the book I know some things were cut but overall it was close to the book so I have no complaints about this movie.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 18: A Book that disappointed you

 Day 18: A Book that disappointed you: Anna and the French Kiss

It's not that the book is bad it's just nowhere near as good as everyone says it is. Before I read this book I heard this book was one of the best books out there, that it had one of the sweetest romances every and that the characters were completely lovable. But when I read this book I discover that the plot wasn't really anything special not that it was bad just it wasn't great. The relationship had sweet moments but my overall feeling about the relationship was that it was wrong since St.Clair had a girlfriend for 95% of the book. The characters were okay but not particularly memorable. Overall the book disappointed me because I heard way to much hype about the book so therefore I was expecting something amazing so I was disappointed that the book was only good.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 17: Favorite quote from your favorite book

 Day 17: Favorite quote from your favorite book:

"I hate you."
My sister said it different than she said it to my dad. She meant it with me. She really did.
"I love you,” was all I could say in return.
"You're a freak, you know that? Everyone says so. They always have."
"I'm trying not to be."-- From Perks of Being a Wallflower

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 16: Favorite Female Character

 Day 16: Favorite Female Character: Laura Wingfield from The Glass Menagerie

I love Laura for being one of the few characters in fiction that I can actually relate to. I love that she shy, dislikes confrontations and is easily embarrassed to the point that she makes things that are nothing seem like a huge deal to her. I like that she would rather create the world of her menagerie and live in that world then to face the really one because she finds the one much too frightening.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 15: Favorite male character

Day 15: Favorite male character: Charlie from Perks of Being a Wallflower

I love Charlie because he's insightful even though he's still pretty naive. I love that he truly just wants everyone to be happy and I love that he worries that people aren't as happy as they could be. I love that he prefers to watch people and that he has problems actually participating in life in general. I liked that he's damage but he doesn't blame anyone else for the way he is even though he could. I love the way he thinks because he has some of the most beautiful thoughts I've ever seen written. I pretty much just love everything about him.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 14: Favorite book by your favorite author

 Day 14: Favorite book by your favorite author: Impulse

I love this book because of the great writing, characters and the interesting subject matter that was dealt with. I loved all three of the main characters even though they were vastly different from one another and I loved the relationships that developed between the three of them through out the book. I also like that all though all three of the main characters they all did it a different way and of course for different reasons. I liked the beautiful poetic way in which it was written and I love how clearly the characters emotions come through in each passage.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 13: Your Favorite Writer

Day 13: Your Favorite Writer: Ellen Hopkins

I love Ellen Hopkins because her way of  writing in verse is so beautiful and filled with raw emotion. I love that not a single word in her novels is wasted and I loved that she only writes what the reader needs to know about the characters life in order to understand them  and their emotional state. I love how she takes advantage of her poetry style by having certain words be off to one side of the page and having them form their own sentences which usually has to do with the thoughts in the characters subconscious. I also loved that in Identical she had several of the poems in different shape such as the one that was in the shape of razor blades. I love that she's willing to write stories with more than one narrator and that she's able to make all of them sound different and I love the way she switches narrators. I love that her books are about tough issues but it never feels like she's lecturing the readers but instead shows them just how bad a person's life can get.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 12: A Book you used to love but don't anymore

Day 12: A Book you used to love but don't anymore: The Clique series

I was obsessed with these books when I was in middle school and while I'm not really a fan of them anymore I don't hate them either I just feel like I've grown out of them and that the series became pretty repetitive after awhile. I actually really appreciate the series existence because there seems to be very few books about popular, bitchy, shallow, rich, snobby, materialistic girls as the main characters which makes me sad actually. I also like how these books were kind of campy and bitchy but I feel that the series has gone on far too long, personally I thought it should have ended with book 5 although I have read up to book 9.

30 Days of Books Challenge: Day 11: A book you hated

Day 11: A book you hated: The Odyssey

I hated this book because I hated pretty much all the characters and I felt the plot was quite dull despite it being a labeled an epic. I hated the main character, Odysseus most of all because was an arrogant, murderous, man whore, jackass and a moron which is why it took him a decade to get home. Honestly though out the whole story was hoping someone would just kill Odysseus but sadly no one did and he got a happy ending despite doing nothing but seducing women and getting his whole crew killed in various ways, I also hated that everyone seemed to praise and admire him for some reason I can't understand.
