City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare





The book I read was a little confusing. I read City of Ashes. And it was a good book and a sad love story. I liked how the characters had room to grow.

The Fault in our Stars






A good book that I absolutely love "The Fault in our Stars". It's the best book I've ever read. The book is about a girl with cancer and she meets a boy who is bursting with personality. They fall in love and the whole story is beautiful and very well written. I could not put this book down. Read it!

This man had a power to control people's thoughts and used that to torture them. Bitterblue's advisers lived during Leck's reign and are hiding something. Bitterblue must find out, with the help of two thieves, Teddy and Saf.

Birthmarked






I recently read Birthmarked.  It was greatly enjoyable to read about a character with a face not described as perfect.  I am sick of reading about characters who are perfect in every way, as they become boring after a while.  Not only was she marred by an unseemly scar, she perused her goals for her love of her family instead of herself.  The whole attitude of the main character was refreshing as was the plot and how the characters interacted with the corruption of the world.\
