(And fun and exciting books to read!) This weeks Top 5 Wednesday is dedicated to the best books I read in 2015.(I did a Top 10 Tuesday a couple of weeks ago. Check it out! ) Here we go! 1. Yes Please by Amy Poehler By far one of the best books I’ve ever read. I recommend it to anyone that will listen to me and should probably read it again just…

Top 5 Wednesday: Banned Books
This week is dedicated to the books you’ve read that have been banned. The books I’m going to list have been challenged by groups or individuals to not be allowed in school libraries, on the shelves of public libraries, or to be sold in book stores. Here we go… 1. The Catcher in the Rye — J.D. Salinger I read this junior year of high school and hated it. But I promise, I’m going to give it another shot. It has been questioned due to the use of vulgar language, lewd scenes, and has even been deemed as “anti-white.” 2. To Kill a Mockingbird — Harper Lee I read this…
Top 10 Tuesday: If You Like…

This weeks challenge is to come up with a list of books based off of one book you may have liked. As you may know by now, I’m a pretty big fan of dystopias.

Divergent — Veronica Roth I’ve talked about “Divergent” plenty of times (and…

This weeks designated topic is “auto-buy authors”. This refers to authors whose books you will buy no matter what. Personally, this is just too similar to the previous week for me (I’m not drawn to authors for some reason), so I’m going to list my Top 10 authors I want to read this upcoming school year. 1. Diana Gabaldon I’ve heard so many great things about “Outlander”. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. 2. George R.…
