I have completed all of my reading novels for this semester! As my choice of book I read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I absolutely loved this book! I loved it because it had a lot of emotions to the story, and it had a good plot to it. I also loved how John Green Augustus a character that everyone who love because of his personality, and his sweetness towards Hazel. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a inspirational novel
The Non-Fiction book that I read was The Help by Kathryn Stockett. This is defiantly a favorite of mine because it a mixture of emotions! At one point of the book you are cracking up laughing at little jokes the maids make or the pranks they pull on their "owners", but then you are almost to the point of tears to hear what would happen to them if they disobeyed the rules. I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes drama stories.
The last book that I had to read was a book that normally don't tend on reading. The book that I read was The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I was surprised to see that I actually enjoyed this book! I found it to be very interesting and intriguing. This novel is defiantly not like the last two novels I read, and that is because it has to do with people dying. Other then some tragic parts, I really liked this book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes fictional/suspenseful books

I am excited to say that I have finished The Maze Runner! I did find this book very good! At the end of the book there was a MAJOR plot twist that made the entire book come together! So since the last time I read the book the boys threw Ben into the Maze to die because he was stung by the griever. After that you meet Minho. He is the leader of the runners. Also there is Alby who is Minho's good friend. They both go into the maze to try and trace Bens steps. As they both travel through the maze Alby is stung by a griever. Minho tries to bring Alby to the entrance of the maze to get him out, but the maze doors are already closing on them. As Thomas cant watch anymore he runs in after them, trying to help save them. The door then closes them in, causing them to spend the night in the maze...
The next day the three boys return from the maze, this makes all the other boys astonished by what they have just done! As the boys were in the maze they were able to find some routes that would help them escape later on. Thomas one again runs into the maze, but now the others follow. The boys travel through the entire maze to make it to a code that requires a password. Minho knows the password from the maze patterns. The door opens to a lab that is filled with dead bodies of scientists. A video is then showed to the boys of a women that congratulates them on making it through the maze. She then tells them that the planet has been destroyed by solar activity. As the lab that the women is being attacked in she shoots herself in the head. A group of armed men come into the lab that the boys are in to take them away in a helicopter. The helicopter then brings them over the maze and to a desert. The women that appeared to shoot herself is not really dead, and she calls out that the experiment that they had just completing was a success and that the boys are now going to enter phase two...
This book was very intriguing! I especially loved the ending. It added a twist that made the book 10x better! I am glad to hear that this book will become a sequel, and that there are more books to come! I am excited to see what happens in Phase Two of the next book! I recommend this to anyone who likes a good spine-chilling novel!

I have started a new book called The Maze Runner by James Dashner. This book is very interesting to me because it is about a boy named Thomas who is abducted and then trapped inside this maze. His memory is erased and he is surrounded by a lot of boys that watch him come out of the tube that brought him there. Confused, Thomas watches other runners loose their lives to going inside of the maze...but they were not fast enough. Thomas meets Chuck. He is a young chubby boy that was brought into the maze a while back. Thomas then becomes friends with Chuck, and they would go through the maze together.
Thomas finds out that every month a new person with supplies comes through the same elevator that brought him, and Thomas realizes that going through the maze is the only way to make it out. The only way you can go into the maze is if you are able to successfully make it through. You then become a "runner". The runners go throughout the land to look for certain escape routes once you enter the maze. Thomas goes out to gather some supplies but then he is attacked by Ben. A runner that has been stung by "Griever". A griever is a creature that roams the maze during the night. Since Ben has been stung by the griever, the other boys decide they need to banish Ben. They do this by throwing him into the Maze to die.
This is where is paused my reading. So far I am really enjoying this book! I find it to be very suspenseful and exciting to find out what will happen to Thomas and to see if he decides to go into the Maze to try and escape. I cant wait to see what happens!

I finally finished my book The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and I absolutely loved it! It was so good and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little bit of drama mixed with comedy. At the end of the book Aibileen works up enough courage to quit her job of being a maid for Hilly. She is tired of being mistreated ad she couldn't take anymore so she decided to quit. Also during the last couple of chapters Skeeter's book"he Help" was published! Almost everyone in town was reading her book, and some people finally got to see and understand what life was like being a black maid to a white family.
If I had to rate this book out of 5 stars I would definitely give it a 5 out of 5! I really loved this book. I loved how it changes your emotions throughout each chapter. In one chapter you are laughing at the joke Minny played on Hilly, and then the next chapter you are almost to tears from the abuse the maids got. I absolutely hate the fact that some of the things that actually happened in this book happened in real life! This is what is devastating about this story! Like I said before this book is definitely something you should read, but only if you like changing emotions!:)

I am almost done with the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and I am really happy with what I have read so far! Since the last time when Skeeter was interviewing Aibileen she asked Aibileen if she could get more maids to join the interview. Aibileen was a little nervous because she thought that all of the maids would not like her anymore because she was going against the rules and talking to a white women. Skeeter was very excited because some of the maids agreed to be interviewed to help Skeeter out. As Skeeter learned more about what the maids had to go through, she became very upset, and she knew she had to do something. Skeeter then began sticking up for the maids when their "owners" would mistreat them. The maids then became a lot closer with Skeeter.
My favorite part that happened in the book was that one time Aibileen talked back to Hilly (her owner) so Hilly was going to punish her, but then Aibileen went to her apologizing, and begging for forgiveness. So as a way to make Hilly forgive her, Aibileen made her a "chocolate pie" but little did Hilly know that the "chocolate pie" that Aibileen made for her was really her poop! Aibileen baked a pie for Hilly that was actually made out of her own poop! This was definitely my favorite part of the book because it was filled with a lot of humor!

This book did have a lot of comic references, but it also had some sad, depressing ones too... The part of the book that I found to be very sad was when Celia had a miscarriage. Other then this part, I find this book to be really amazing! And I cannot wait until I finish it!

I have started a new book. The book that I started is called The Help by Kathryn Stockett. This book is very interesting to me because it takes on the role of the civil rights movement of the 1960's. This book is in the point of view from all of the black maids working for their white families. You first find out about Aibileen Clark who is a very sassy women. Even though her "owner" tells her to do something she will do it...but she usually gives a snarky comment when she is asked to do something. Also in what I have read so far is that there is this white women named Skeeter Phelan, and she is very social, even with the people "her kind" is not suppose to talk to. Skeeter's best friend has Aibileen as her maid. Skeeter is a former college student who is determined to become a writer. As she becomes closer with Aibileen, she asks Aibileen a very important question... She asks Aibileen if she can interview her about what her life is like being a maid for a white family.
As Aibileen towards to saying no, because she knows that if anyone catches her and Skeeter talking about Aibileen's life then they will both get in trouble. Aibileen decides that she will let Skeeter interview her as long as they do it in private, and that know one can find out what they are doing. I am finding this book to be very interesting! I especially love the fact the author Kathryn Stockett adds some comedy to the book. This brings up the mood to the story because overall it is very sad book. Also because some of the events that take place in this book happened in real life!
I am really interested in to finding out what happens between Skeeter and Aibileen, and if they will get caught or not! But so far I really like this book!
