Fault in our Stars
Talk about a beautiful, yet heart-wrenching book! This is worth the read!
From Amazon:
"Hazel is sixteen, with terminal cancer, when she meets Augustus at her
kids-with-cancer support group. The two are kindred spirits, sharing an
irreverent sense of humor and immense charm, and watching them fall in
love even as they face universal questions of the human condition--How
will I be remembered? Does my life, and will my death, have meaning?"

Stolen by Lucy Christopher
This book so very interesting and riveting and I don’t quite
know what to think now that I am finished. I couldn’t put it down, but couldn’t
tell you exactly why. I ended up pulling
for both at the end. It is about a girl
who is kidnapped and held captive in a remote area of Australia. It is told from her point of view as a letter
to her captor. It is a Iowa High School
award book this year and I really liked it.
From Amazon: "A stunning debut novel with an intriguing literary hook: written in part
as a letter from a victim to her abductor. Sensitive, sharp,
captivating! Gemma, 16, is on layover at Bangkok Airport, en
route with her parents to a vacation in Vietnam. She steps away for just
a second, to get a cup of coffee. Ty--rugged, tan, too old, oddly
familiar--pays for Gemma's drink. And drugs it. They talk. Their hands
touch. And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her. Steals her
away. The unknowing object of a long obsession, Gemma has been
kidnapped by her stalker and brought to the desolate Australian Outback.
STOLEN is her gripping story of survival, of how she has to come to
terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it."

"Iron Heart" by Brian Boyle
This book was phenomenal!!!
It is a true, inspirational story of a boy who is in a near-fatal car
accident (not expected to live) and fights his way out of a coma to end up
competing in the Hawaii Ironman triathlon world competition!! This story is incredible and so worth the
read!! My favorite quote from the book
is “’A person hasn’t lived until he has almost died, and for those who have
fought for life, the world has a flavor the protected will never know.’ Life is
all about taking risks and accepting challenges when facing adversity. This sentiment might seem like a cliché, but
to survivors like myself, it means never giving up.”

15 Young Adult Books Every Adult Should Read
"Young-adult books are almost inescapable, even if you haven't visited the teen section of your local library since high school. Big-budget movie adaptations of young-adult books like Divergent and The Maze Runner come out next year and John Green's bestselling YA novel The Fault in Our Stars
was included in many of last year's best book roundups that were
otherwise full of adult fiction. It's a genre that readers have realized
is not just for high schoolers."

City of Bones (Mortal Instruments Series)
Oh how I loved this book! It is like a cross between Harry Potter and Twilight and so very awesome! I can't wait to finish the series and can't wait to see the movie!
"Don’t miss The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, soon to be a major motion picture in theaters August 2013.When
fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New
York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder
committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and
brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air.
It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to
everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood --
to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? (From Amazon)
