Books I've Read - Young Adult

I know I'm an adult now, but the young adult literature has been really good lately!  You doesn't love good writing, fun and innocent story lines, and a quick read?

Here are a few the I have flipped though myself!

A Great Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

A story of a young girl, Gemma Doyel, shipped away to a boarding school where she doesn't really fit in.  The plot includes everything from secret societies to alternative realms of reality.  Its definitely an exciting action filled book for young girls!  And yes its a trilogy!

A Great Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

The second book in the Gemma Doyle Trilogy.

The Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer

The series contains six books (I think the series is completed) and is the story of a young criminal mastermind.  One of the few young adult books in which the main character actually knows or is informed of everything going on around them!  And yes...there is a movie in the works.

Books - Book Clubs

The List:

Current - 

Tripping the Prom Queen by Susan Shapiro Barash

So far: I really like this book, but it maybe because I have seen a lot of rivalry in my life.  To be honest, it happens all the time.  As women we need to just admit it and move on...if you are denying that you have some of these tendencies it is my opinion that you are lying to yourself.

Past - 

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

Review:  A very good how to guide about keeping the love in your marriage.  I would recommend this book to any newlyweds or to-be-newlyweds.

Velvet Elvis Repainting the Christian Faith by Rob Bell

Review: Absolutely amazing book!  I am now a huge fan of  Rob Bell and Really want to read all of his other books!

The Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free by Nancy DeMoss

Review: One of the most terrible anti-feminist books I have ever read.  I'm sorry, its not a lie, women do have the right to equitable wages and quality health care!

Books - I Have Yet to Read

The gods are still among us!

The gods are definitely still living among us in the series I just finished reading...Percy Jackson and the Olympians written by Rick Riordan. I know, I know its a young adult or children's series, but I was so tired of long and involved novels. These books are short and something is always happening. The 4 books were a fast read and I can't wait for the 5th to come out next year...Oh did I mention they're making the first book a movie?
