Books I've Been Reading

 
 
I know I've been absent again for a while, and as always I'm trying to resolve to write more, but we shall see if that actually comes to fruition.
 
 
At the beginning of the year, I was blogging about the books I was reading, so I thought I'd do that for a quick one today.
 
I had just finished reading some pretty heavy stuff, so I thought I'd go for something light and fluffy. These 2 Stephanie Perkins books were just what the I needed. Yes, they are YA, but they're fun and cute and still thought provoking. They aren't necessarily a sequence, but the 1st does bleed into the 2nd, and from what I understand a 3rd is coming soon. I definitely liked Anna better than Lola, but both are pretty great.
 





Now for The Book Thief. This is one of the best books I've ever read. I absolutely loved it. Its beautifully written, the characters are well-developed and relatable, and it weaves a delicate story through the scope of one of the world's most horrific tragedies. If you ever get a chance to read it, please do yourself a favor and start it. I truly do not think you will be disappointed.
