Allegiant by Veronica Roth


Finished this WEEKS ago.  Forgot to post.  Wow.  I did NOT like the end of this trilogy.  Spoiler*  YOU DO NOT KILL THE MAIN CHARACTER!  So unhappy, I can't write anything more about the book.  Of course today I see there is another book out called "Four" which I assume will carry on his story without her.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer


So I read the first book so long ago I don't even remember the title of it.  My friend has loaned me the series now, so I finished book two last night.  It was one that I wanted to keep reading, but only because I was waiting for there to be more Edward.  He is probably only in 1/4 of this book.  My friend told me this was her least favorite.  I'm sure I liked the first one better.  But I guess the events in the book are necessary to the series.  So lack of Edward meant a lot more Jacob.  And you keep waiting for the moment Bella finally decides to let go of Edward and just try things out with Jacob, because he does make her happy.  But when you think it is going to happen, it gets interrupted and it doesn't happen at all!  Which I guess is fine.  Since she doesn't love him the same way.  I'm starting book three and hope it's better.  Now I will be able to watch the movie!  I am so far behind the trend.

The Death Cure by James Dashner


This was the final book in The Maze Runner Trilogy.  I'm not sure if this book was as strange as the others.  No review.  Glad I finished the series.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion


I forgot to post the books I've been finishing, so now I have little to say about this one.  It was pretty cute.  Easy to read.  Not one you don't want to put down though.  Light and fun.

The Postmistress by Sarah Blake

This book was pretty interesting.  It follows a few people lives and then you watch them intersect.  It is about the blitz in Europe in WWII.  It follows a radio gal who tells what she sees and a few of the people who are listening to her across the ocean.

Benediction by Kent Haruf


I found this book a waste of time.  I shouldn't have continued to read it once I was 1/4 through.  Did nothing for me.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth


Well this book made me wonder how they will make the second movie.  Because I'm pretty sure at the end of the first movie they kill off someone who clearly needs to be in this book.  They also didn't explain an incident which comes into play in this book / would be important to include in the movie.  So clearly I am upset that they missed out on some details in the first movie.  I really like this series, they are easy, quick and interesting reads.  There is a new problem they try to solve in this book.  And it ends with a hook making you want the third book in your hand.
