I read this book after seeing it plastered all over magazines that I trust. It is a young adult book about terminal cancer. Sounds uplifting, right? This book is absolutely amazing. While the characters are a little too precocious to be believable, the story kept me hooked. I laughed, I cried, and I can't stop thinking about it. That's the sign of a good book, right? Read it so we can talk about it, darn you!!

Book 32: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
I read this book after seeing it plastered all over magazines that I trust. It is a young adult book about terminal cancer. Sounds uplifting, right? This book is absolutely amazing. While the characters are a little too precocious to be believable, the story kept me hooked. I laughed, I cried, and I can't stop thinking about it. That's the sign of a good book, right?

Book 31 (actually 29): The Dead and the Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer
I actually finished this earlier, but forgot that I hadn't blogged about it. This is the parallel story (or the second book in the trilogy) of what happened when an asteroid hit the moon and forced its orbit closer to Earth. Instead of following the main character from the first book, this book focuses on the life of a poor Hispanic boy living in New York City. Life is much grittier in NYC than it was for our heroine in the first book. I liked this series because (as I stated in my review of book 30) it seems real. Really real. Scary...
