Their eyes were watching God

Thank God I finished this book. I had to read this book for school and let me tell its not a book I would have ever picked up or want to pick up. I am happy to have read it but wouldn't read it again. I don't even want to see again but I have to write a paper on it. It's not going anywhere anytime soon unfortunately. It's an okay book I guess. I'm just making it sound really bad because I had to work on it over break.

Born Blue

This book is great. The things that happen to this girl are just nuts. It's one thing then its another and then another. Things just keep happening to her. Her voice is amazing though. The author describes it so well it's like you can hear her. You have the same reaction that everybody in the book has when they hear her. It's a beautiful and sad story.

Glass

Glass is the sequel to Crank. I was shocked when I read it. I couldn't believe it. Her child was only three months and she went back to everything. It's a great book to read but I found it really shocking, sad and interesting. I can't wait for the next book :).

This Lullaby

This Lullaby is a beautiful story. I wish I had read all of Dessen's books before I meet her but it's a little too late for that now. Dessen's books are all amazing but my favorite book of hers is Along for the Ride. Originally it used to be Lock and Key but that changed after I finished reading Along for the Ride. My friend's favorite is still Lock and Key and another friend of my mine loves Just Listen which is a great book too. Sarah Dessen is a wonderful author. She's awsome.
