Good Books to Read!

  • Pride and Prejudice: If you haven't read it before, it is absolutely FABULOUS!!! I am in the middle of reading it, and it is taking me a little while to digest the language she writes in, but any JANE AUSTEN book would be an AWESOME read!!!!
  • The Raven Master's Secret: Takes place in old England around the Tower of London--It starts off a bit grim with the hanging of a "criminal" to give you a taste, but it is a really good book about two peoples' attempt to escape...won't give too much away, but it ROCKS!
  • And Then There were None: A classic Agatha Christie mystery...it follows the rhyme "Ten Little Indian Boys" but it is an amazing murder mystery...I made the mistake of reading the last paragraph (oops!) and it gave it all away, so I wouldn't recommend doing that!!!!!!
  • When It Happens: Cute little story about two high-schoolers...kinda R rated though...lol. It's good...if you believe in true love and soulmates!
  • Ophelia: It's Shakespeare's Hamlet through the eyes of Ophelia...whether you agree with it or not you have to find out...if you haven't read Hamlet, it's a good idea to do so before reading this!! But with all the little twists and turns it makes it a really interesting read.
  • Golden Compass: Of course, you have to read the whole series. It's amazing, hands down. Just read it.
  • Ladies of Liberty; the women who shaped our nation: It's a really cool book, even though it's not a narrative, it's really informational all about the women who made a big difference in the evolution of the USA.
  • The Birchbark House: A bitter-sweet tale of a tribe of a woodland Indians, based on real facts. It's such a sweet little book.
