The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch was an amazing story. It is about Randy Pausch, a professor who is giving his, 'Last Lecture.' Many professors do something called a 'Last Lecture' where they talk about what is important in their life. This is literally Randy's last, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and is dying. His lecture is not about dying, it is about overcoming obstacles and achieving your dreams. It made me laugh and cry and was such an inspirational story. I even watched his lecture as well after I read the book. The book itself it actually pretty short and easy to read. It is such a beautiful book and everyone should read it.

The Lovely Bones
I honestly do not think made up characters have ever made me cry more than I did in the Lovely Bones. The book was a beautiful story. I read it in one day, I could not put it down for more than ten minutes. I was blubbering like a baby. I still haven't seen the movie, I honestly don't remember if it got good reviews. I highly recommend this book for anyone it is such a moving story and will have you in tears.

Forget You
Forget You by Jennifer Echols was such a great book. The book was requested to me to read by my kindle and I loved it! It was a lot like Sarah Dessen's book which is why I enjoyed it so much. It is about a girl who gets into a car accident and can't remember anything that happened the night before. It was so interesting and it is a perfect read if your going down the shore memioral day weekend or if your staying home!
keep on reading on!

The Time Traveler's Wife
I read the The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger in my sophomore year. I honestly did not love the book. Everyone told me I would be sobbing by the end, but I barely teared up. I liked the plot, it was interesting, but very hard to follow. If your in the mood for a Nicolas Sparks sort of book I would reccomend it, but it was not my personal favorite.
Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars is one of the best book series I have ever read. The books are so intense and scary you literally cannot put them down. I cannot even begin to explain how different the books are from the telivison show. I highly reccomend the books they are a lot better than the show. I watched the first episode of the show and was not impressed. The books are wild and really a must read!
Keep on reading on!

If I Stay
If I Stay was an amazing book. It was recommened to me by my teacher in my freshmen year and I loved it. I love reading in the car and I read it for a two hour car ride down the shore and finished it. It was about a girl in a coma and her family trying to wake her up. It made my cry and made me feel happy, just such a good book!

50 Shades of Grey
If you haven't heard of 50 Shades of Grey you have been living under a rock. I haven't read the book yet and frankly I don't know if I want to. I don't think that would be something I am interested in, but I said the same thing about the Hunger Games and loved it. Maybe I'll get around to it over the summer. The book has caused a lot of controversy and is rumored to be very scandalous.
