Hello all my readers! It has been almost a year since I last popped on here and I apologize for not keeping up. I am going to try much harder from now on to keep up on my writing and keeping you all updated on what I have been reading. This past year has been a busy one. The hubby was on deployment and this last semester really kicked my butt. This is why I haven't had a chance to update recently. I am writing my thesis this semester and I am going to use this blog, and my reading, as my break from that stressful project. I hope I can keep up!
So, we left off with my love of series'. I am still reading many series and I have a few to share. As you know, I have been reading
The 39 Clues series very adamantly. I am still reading this series and I have read all the books that are currently out and I am waiting on the next book to be released. I still stand by the review I gave before that this series is excellent and I recommend it to everyone.
The other big series that I have read over the absence is the
Divergent series by Veronica Roth.
I read all three books, but I just recently finished the third book (as it just came out and I was on the waiting list at the library). This series was excellent. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good series to read, especially if they loved the
Hunger Games trilogy. The series is another dystopian novel about a young girl and her journey through the faction society she lives in. The author did a good job of making you fall in love with the characters and wanting to read more to find out what is going to happen to them. I also found out that there is going to be a movie coming out on the first book March 21, 2014. This series was excellent and I was captivated to the very end. Even though I was sad about the ending, I would recommend this to anyone!
Another series I read was the
Matched series by Ally Condie. This book is another dystopian society novel (I know, a theme is forming) that chronicles characters through a society that "matches" them with the perfect match, based on a calculated system. The series takes an unexpected turn and you become invested to see what happens to the characters. I liked the series, but I don't think it was as good as the
Divergent series or the
Hunger Games series.
These are the two major series that I read over my unexpected absence. There were some other small books here and there, but nothing major to report on. I hope to continue reading adamantly and I will bring a new blog update soon. I have a few books that I am on the hold list for at the library, so I will update as soon as those arrive and I read them. Happy reading! :)
The other Disney themed novel I have been reading is the Kingdom Keepers series. The image to the left is the first book. There is currently six books in the series with a seventh that will be released soon. This series is excellent. The kids are DHI's, Disney Hosts, that they created as holograms that are able to guide guests through the Magic Kingdom. Even though this book is set in Disney World, the story is still great. The kids have to stop the Overtakers from taking over the park and the first book immerses the reader in the park through the adventures of the kids. There are a lot of twists and turns and the storyline really makes you want to keep reading to see what happens. I am currently in the middle of the second book in the series so I will keep you all updated on how it turns out.
