Books I'd Love To Reread

I can't believe how far behind I've gotten.  Incredible.  Anyways, here is my list of past favorites that I wouldn't mind going back to reread.  Sometimes a book is even better the second time around.

1. The Twilight Saga

After recently reading The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide, I really want to go back and reread the entire series again.  I miss that world.  I miss reading about Edward and Jacob, even if now it sounds a little too dramatic then it did then. 

 

2. The Season by Sarah MacLean

"Strong-willed and sharp-tongued, 17-year-old Lady Alexandra had to learn to hold her own growing up in a houseful of brothers in Regency England. But soon Alex finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery just as ball season begins." ~"About the The Season" on Borders.com

Okay I have soft spot for romance novels, I'll admit it.  But I'm a sucker for mystery/romance novels too.  Though the mystery really wasn't a mystery at all if your observant reader, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the fashion talk and how fond I was with the characters.  It was such a fun read for me. It got me into this temporary obsession with proper, lady-n-gentlemen era books.  (Ex: The Luxe series)

3. The Host by Stephenie Meyer

"The author of the #1-bestselling Twilight series delivers her brilliant first novel for adults that's also suitable for teen readers: a gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake, featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies." ~ "About the The Host" on Borders.com

Arguably the best of Stephenie Meyer's published works.  Even if you didn't like Twilight, this is a whole different experience.  At first, I was tempted to put it down, partially because I kept comparing it to Twilight.  I'm glad I gave it a chance.  It's a really great read.  I recommend it to anyone who is intrigued with sci-fi. 

4. Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar

"This hilarious novel chronicles Scott's freshman year, as he decides that high school would be a lot less overwhelming if it came with a survival manual. Here Scott records his first year of bullies, romance, honors, classes, and brotherhood." ~ "About the Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie" on Borders.com

I'm sure about 95% of my readers would agree with me: I hate hate hate mandatory reading.  HATE it. I just can't appreciate it because in the back of my mind I know I'm being forced and graded for reading this particular book.  I'm telling you right now, this book is different.  Yeah, the title isn't appealing. Heck the cover is a bit bland, but its great read.  I mean, it's really fantastic.  Slow to start, but much better as you go along.  I recommend this to all ages.  d(^.^)b

5. The Color of Water by James McBride

"The Color of Water tells the remarkable story of Ruth McBride Jordan, the two good men she married, and the 12 good children she raised. Jordan, born Rachel Shilsky, a Polish Jew, immigrated to America soon after birth; as an adult she moved to New York City, leaving her family and faith behind in Virginia. Jordan met and married a black man, making her isolation even more profound. The book is a success story, a testament to one woman's true heart, solid values, and indomitable will. Ruth Jordan battled not only racism but also poverty to raise her children and, despite being sorely tested, never wavered. In telling her story--along with her son's--The Color of Water addresses racial identity with compassion, insight, and realism. It is, in a word, inspiring, and you will finish it with unalloyed admiration for a flawed but remarkable individual. And, perhaps, a little more faith in us all." ~Goodreads.com

A sad, but good book.  It really opens you're eyes.  It's not the typical book I'd read on my own.  It was a school project.  Anyways. I'd love to reread it.  Click here for my initial reaction to The Color of Water.

Well there's my five books.  I encourage all you book lovers to read at least one of these books.  (If anything, read Sleeping Freshmen). 

Enjoy! :)
