If you are currently into the whole dystopian society craze like The Hunger Games, or Divergent, then you will love this classic. Winner of the Newberry Award, The Giver was recently released as film starring Jeff Bridges. Do yourself a favor...read the book first. It's amazing... "The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.” ― Lois Lowry, The Giver |

Fall in love with Mia and Adam's love. If I StayMany of you may be familiar with the film, but have you considered reading the book? From the perspective of a bookworm, I feel as though books tend to be exponentially better than the films they are turned into. Though I really enjoyed watching the movie, the book was even more phenomenal. If you are a sucker for romantic novels that are fantastically written, you will certainly enjoy this book. The writing is brilliant and witty. I was able to finish this book in two days because I could not put it down. Gayle Forman's writing has such a lovely flow that it would be seemingly impossible to not find an escape in her books. Click here to read an excerpt! Where She Went Once I finished If I Stay, I desperately wanted more. Luckily, Gayle Forman published a sequel entitled Where She Went. Much to my surprise, this book is written from Adam's perspective. Though I had fallen in love with Mia's persona, I found Adam's account to be fascinating. I loved being able to view life through his perspective. I dream of the day that Where She Went becomes a film. PS. Take a look at this to learn more about the author.By: Natasha A. |
