Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick
5.0
Wonderful! After reading about two pages, I thought nope, i'm definitely not gonna like this. But once I really gave it my fullest attention, this book gave me a whole new perspective. I loved reading the stories of each defect and learning what brought each of them to their new homes. It truly transformed my view on what privilege means and how I perceive poverty. I am definitely making life-style changes after this books.
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
2.0
I know, I know, only two stars?! You probably think I'm crazy, but I just didn't feel it to well.
The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex
5.0
Wow, this was a beautifully written story. Very creative and thought provoking. I watched the movie "Home" inspired by this book and love both stories. I would definitely recommend this for people of all ages. It is an inspiring tale of heroism and the limits we push.
Looking for Alaska by John Green
4.0
This is my first John Green book, and I have to say, it was magnificent. I had watched "The Fault in Our Stars" and thought it was beautiful, but it pales in comparision to Mr. Green's writing. "looking for alaska" is witty, thought-provoking, and captivating. I will never read books the same again.
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
3.0
Girl on the Train is definitely a great book for young adults (15+). It teaches that we never really know a persob, no matter how long a relationship is maintained.
The book did explore great themes of abuse in many forms (alcohol, domestic etc), however I found it to be a bit anti climactic overall. There were moments where I struggled to put the book down because I was hooked, but again it wasn't a very dramatic ending.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
One of the most interesting pieces I have ever read. At first I was not sure if I actually liked the book. But reflecting on it, it is a book that challenges the reader to keep an open mind page after page.
