My Bucket List 2012-2013

1. Divergent by Veronica Roth

I have never heard of this book before, but ever since my friends recommended it to me, I've been wanting to read it. All the reviews for this book say that it is a must read, and it has a lot of action, and will "keep you on edge through the entire book".

2. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

I want to read this book, because it sounds like it is a really good book. A lot of people recommend this, and reviews say that kids in high school or middle school should be required to read it as well, along with parents reading it too. I also want to read it because it has a mysterious feel to it, and I like to read mystery books, and it fits the mysterious factor.

3. Hate List by Jennifer Brown

I had never heard of this book until it was recommended in English class. I find it interesting because it is based on a shooting at a school, and that the main character's boyfriend was the shooter. I also want ti read this, because it reminds me of the book She Said Yes by Misty Bemall.

4. Columbine by Dave Cullen

I read the book She Said Yes by Misty Bernall in elementary school, and that's when I first learned about the Columbine shooting. But, to know that there is a book that has more details on what happened that day, makes me want to read it even more, to find out more about what happened.

5. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

This book caught my interest when i was told that it actually happened. It kind of feels like this book might be a thriller, and I like to read thriller books every once in a while. I also want to branch out more into non-fiction books, to get a feel for things that are actually real.

6. Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Insurgent is the second book to the book of Divergent, which I have finished reading. I came to find that Divergent was really good, and I cant wait to read Insurgent. Divergent left me hanging, and I want to know what happens next, so I think Insurgent will be really good.

7. The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Everyone has told me that this book is really good, and since there is now a movie based on the book, it's even better. It's also set in the time before the Civil Rights movement in 1962, and I like reading books that have a little history in them to base the plot. My mom has also read this book, and she said that it was really good, so I REALLY want to read it now.

8. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

This book caught my interest because the movie based on the book seems like it is really good. It also revolves around kids in high school, and how we just want to fit it with everyone else. But the main characters in the book may come to find, that it might be better for them to just stand out among everyone else.

9. The Host by Stephenie Meyer

I want to read this book, mainly because I love Stephenie Meyer's books. I read the Twilight saga, and I loved it. I just think she is a good author, and that anything she writes, will be amazing, no matter what. It also looks like it is a science-fiction novel too, and I like those kinds of books, so I cant wait to read it.

10. Heaven by Alexandra Adornetto

I have already read the first two book in this trilogy, and I LOVED them, so I can't wait to read this one, to see how the story come to end. Reviews say that the Halo series is a must-read. I also think that Adornetto is a VERY good author, because she wrote the first book of the series, when she was only sixteen. To be able to write a full out NOVEL at that age, I find to be very impressive.
