What has been your favorite book this summer? (You can name up to three since we know it may be tough to pick just one.)

The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Those books swept me away. And also my summer reading books, THE CATCHER IN THE RYE and A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. Both were very powerful books.

So far..... A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY by Libba Bray --- Amazing plot that keeps changing so you can't put the book down
GONE by Michael Grant --- For such a large book it keeps your attention throughout and makes you really think about certain things in life A CIRCLE OF BLOOD by Alane Ferguson --- Great forensic mystery series.

Oh boy, this is tough. I would have to say the UGLIES/PRETTIES/SPECIALS/EXTRAS series was phenomenal, but I really liked Meg Cabot's books --- all were my guilty pleasures this summer. I also heart Emiy Brontė, Jane Austen, but most of all, I love Nicholas Sparks!

My favorite book was by far TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE. This book has such a strong message and many quotes that reveal a lot about life.

If you have already read it, then you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say this book is powerful.

Definitely LOCK & KEY by Sarah Dessen. This book had a great plotline about a teenage girl who had grown up most of her life without her older sister or father. She's been living with her abusive mother, until one day, her mother vanishes. Seventeen-year-old Ruby is excited to live on her own. But when social services come for Ruby, she is forced to live with her sister and her husband in a luxurious house. They send her to private school and give her everything she wants, but Ruby feels as though she doesn't belong. She wants to move out and live the independent life she's always dreamed of. However, keeping people out of your life is a challenge maybe even Ruby can't handle.
