Dystopian books
My favorite type of reading is the dystopian themed books something about starting over in this world and building things with the resources left over, that makes me want to try harder in life. Right now I am in the middle of a trilogy "The Testing" the first book sets place of an actual testing ground if the teenagers are smart enough to get through the gates to the university of common wealth. In this book there were seven stages of war that took place on earth before them the testing puts them in cirimstances of those where they are forced to use life and death choices, and they are graded based off those choices. This book has a strong female lead that also has a sweet love story to keep you wanting to read more. When compared to the other dystopian themed books hunger games, insurgent, and matched all which I have read I feel this book never got the proper attention, well written and good plot. I am half way through the second book "independent study's" I will report back at the end of the book but so far a great read to back up the first book!

Reading reading and more reading
Ok so I have not blogged in a long time but hey what can I say my family is growing we are moving and reading a ton! I have finished the lunar chronicals and loved them can not wait for winter to come out in nov. I am looking forward to that time of year as I and due oct. 11th and will have a lot of time to read read and read some more while bonding with my new member of the family. We decided to move to a bigger home with a yard to allow my son space to run and play where it is safe for me to have the baby I am looking forward to the next ten years in this home!
Books that I have read ok I finished "vanishing girls" a book my book club picked out and I have to say my ladies know how to pick books I loved the book, plot of the story and title kinda didn't make a ton of sense to me .... But hey sometimes I miss things lol. The book was primary about a girl that deals with the death of her sister but you don't know that until the end of the book, which is my fav type of book that has a twist at the end. However though out the book I sometimes wondered if she was possibly having multiple personality disorder because I noticed that she never spoke to her sister one on one. I give this book a 7-10
