My, how fast this school year's come and gone! It's May, and there are only 28 more days of school! Can you believe it? 24 days of school! I still remember the most memorable day of the school year like yesterday.
Okay, that may not say much, as my 'most memorable day of the school year' happened in late March...haha XD I fail, no? But back to the subject: Here are my top 10 reads of the school year!
I'm not numbering them ;) If you told me to number them, I would cry of despair. I love all of these books to death!
Fire, by Kristen Cashore, is one of the books I could just pick up and read any hour of the day, any day of the week, and any month of the year. The author spins a wonderful tale of a human monster named Fire, who goes through many pain and happiness. I can never get bored of this amazing story!
Now, who can forget the lovely tale of Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester? Jane Eyre, who had been abused in childhood, ended up becoming a governess at Mr. Rochester's manor. She falls in love with Mr. Rochester, who is described as 'he was certainly not a handsome man'.
This wonderful tale of a girl slave, Eon, disguised as a boy in order to become a dragon master. I had originally ran around the library, mad with despair, for I had no books to read. Sad, right? Well, I came upon this book, stared at it, for, oh, about 2 milliseconds, then ran off to check it out. Well, this is DEFINITELY worth a read (:
Cassandra Clare spins a wonderful tale of myths, putting them into real life situations. Really, I was absolutely obsessed with Jace. He's like, the guy version of me in personality, and a bit crankier. Haha XD I also love this story cause, well, knives, marks, come on, people! Or is it just me?
Okay, so I love the concept of angels. They're cool, ethereal, and there are many versions of them. So I picked this book up in the library, ready for some good reading. To be honest, I can't say that this has the best plot ever. But what I can say is that this book definitely kept me entranced! I nearly missed my stop on the way back from school, and wouldn't have noticed at all if it were not for my friend's sister! Completely mortifying, but the book interested me that much-and believe me, it's quite hard for that to happen to me. I have a harsh judgment on books after all ;)
I admit, I judge books by their covers (and blurbs, of course :D). And, for me, how could I resist this? I absolutely adore the dress, and the way they had the model positioned-absolutely lovely (I'm a tomboy, but when it comes to beauty...)! I definitely wasn't disappointed. Sure, the she-dies-I-live-in-despair-until-she-comes-around is a tad overused, but I quite love it in this concept. Especially if there's another guy chasing the female lead. Daniel is the guy that lives, while Luce dies, either before they kiss or right after. And then there's Cam. The absolutely hot badass. I go for the rebel types...so...
Which one? Daniel or Cam?
For me, I absolutely love espionage books. CIA, MI6, who cares? I find them highly interesting, and sometimes wish that I was in the lead character's role-and maybe it's just my risk-taking part. Scorpia is the 5th book (6th?) in the Alex Rider series, and this is my absolute favorite out of the rest! I suppose that this is when Alex Rider turns on the MI6, and though he goes back at the end...we get an insight on the bad guys!
Again, I judged the books cover, and again, I definitely wasn't disappointed! Melissa Marr spins a wonderful tale of faeries, ruled by different courts-High, Summer, Winter, and Dark Court. All I have to say is-definitely worth a read!
If you're the kind of person who loves mythology, this book is perfect! There are Greek, Roman, Celtic, Norse, etc. mythology in this book, and it adds in auras of humans. I also completely love this book, and the emotion is real and gripping-you can't help but feel sorry for the characters, or happy for them. A definite must read!
Another book that I can read over and over again! Here, you take a look at a former thief's life, but what happens when she gets caught up in family business again?
So, there are my Top Ten reads of the year! I admit that I read these before this school year, but I re-read them so...they count! Haha XD Hope you guys take a look at least wonderful books, and like them too!
