Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead

This is a book that is definately not for anyone under the age of 16. It has some "sensual" scenes that are amazingly written, but for the appropraite age group. In this story, a succubus by the name of Georgina Kincaid falls into a deadly adventure with a cute human author by the name of Seth Mortenstein. She must face demons, angels, and even new creatures that no one knows what it could be causing trouble. I recommend this to any girl, or guy, who likes to be left wanting more and sitting on the edge of their seat.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

This is an amazing novel that tells of two middle-aged men who are traveling the country during the Great Depression trying to find work. One of the men, Lenny, is mentally handicapped and the other man, George, has been watching over him since they were young. When the two men finally find work at a ranch, Lenny and George are forced to make hard decisions that will forever alter their lives and those around them. It is an awesome read and offers excitement and tears in every chapter. This novel has also been made into a major motion picture which is worth watching as well.

Becoming Naomi Leon by Pam Munoz Ryan

This is an excellent coming of age novel that tells about a young girl's troubles to fit in when she lives with her grandmother in a trailer park and has a mentally handicapped little brother. She finds herself meeting her mother who, at first, seems to be a dream's come true. However, things take a turn for the worse and she must struggle to keep what she loves close. This is an amazing story that I would recommend to anyone who likes a good, love filled book.

Shakespeare Undead by Lori Handeland

Everyone has heard and/or read some of the writings of the famous playwright William Shakespeare atleast once, right? Well no one really knew who the mysterious "Dark Lady" most of his sonnets are about....until now. Secrets are revealed about how Shakespeare wrote all of his amazing plays and other writings. I recomend this book to anyone who is a fan of Shakespeare's work and who is interested in how he did them.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

This book is an amazing story of deception and hidden messages hidden within the paintings of the famous artist Leonardo Da Vinci. The main character, Robert Langdon, is a professor who is a famous symbologist who is sent on a journe trying to solve murder and figure out what the criminals want, and it invovles the paintings of Da Vinci. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a challenge.

Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers

This book was actually assighned to me to read in my American Literature class, and I'm glad it was. This novel is a good example of warfare literature while also showing the troubles in the country at the time of WWII. The main character of the story is Richie Perry, a young black american sent to fight in the Vietnam War. There he is faced with violence, rascism, and loss. It is a heartwrenching story that any would benefit from reading it.

The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan

This book is very interesting and somewhat irritating at times. It is the story of a man and a woman and their romance...in the form of a dictionary. Each word would have a little story underneath it instead of the definition. However, in someways, it is the definition for the stories have something to do with the word. I find this novel irritating for the reason that the author never really explains much about the romance, nor why they fight, ect. I prefer to know what's going on in a story and to not be left clueless. On the other hand, it is a very new and interesting way to approach story writing and is worth reading just for the experiance.
