Good day bibliophiles

“Why does it say she has three hundred and twenty friends?" Josh asks. "Who has that many friends?”

If you had the opportunity to change your future...no wait, control the ultimate outcome of your future because you didn't approve of the cards life had dealt for you, would you do it ? Well the book I just breezed through had a lot to do with that and then some. The book I am talking about is none other than Jay Asher's &Caroline Mackler's- The Future of Us. This book has an amazing concept, is well written and a real page turner. Asher & Mackler had me at "Emma receives an AOL disc in 1996 from her estranged friend Josh, and they are some how able to log on to Facebook in the era of no social media networks, phones with the cords still attached to them, oh and my favorite, pagers!".

Having the ability to take a peek into their futures, they learn that their actions can ultimately change large parts of their fate so to speak. I think i'll stop right there before I give it away. I loved everything about this read except for the ending, surprise. . . surprise; I don't know something was missing if I can be honest. I think I expected more, more fireworks, one of those I'm not ready for this to be over type of endings but sadly I didn't really get that. . . but that's okay because I would still recommend this book to everyone!

Happy Reading bibliophiles!

Small Great Things-Jodi Picoult

Small great things! Smaaalll Great things! Oh Jodi Picoult. I must admit that it took me some time to finish this book. I would say the reason for this would be the contents of this book; there's a lot of information to digest, to understand, to sympathize with . . . and even relate to? Blurb "When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father. What the nurse , her lawyer and the father of the child cannot know is how death will irrevocably change all of their lives , in ways both expected and not. Small Great Things is about prejudice and power; it is about that which divides us and unites us." This book tackles prejudice and racism,homophobia in the most phenomenal ways. Three characters Ruth Jefferson an African American nurse, Turk Bauer the white supremacist and Kennedy, Ruths lawyer and baby Davis....

Novels in Verse hmmm? "We Come Apart"-Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan

Hello fellow book lovers! So this week I came across my first Novel In Verse! Titled: "We Come Apart" Written by Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan . I wont lie to you, for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure, it took me a day or two to get into the book. However, I quickly fell in-love with the characters, the story and the structure. The book is split into three parts and as mentioned the structure is in verse. We come apart has two main characters, Nicu who has emigrated from Romania, and is awaiting to be married without his consent. The second main character is Jess who comes from a home plagued with domestic violence, her mother is dating a man named Terry who is abusive in many different ways, and he often goes to the extent of making Jess film the abuse. Jess and Nicu have their daily struggles which bring them together and which also stand to separate them. What I lo...
