Hey guys! This post is about my top six favorite books. They aren't in any particular order below They are just my top six favorites.
#1
Brooklyn Rose
Ann Rinaldi
I love this book so much. Ann Rinaldi is one of my favorite authors. Brooklyn Rose is about Rose who is from a small town in the south. She is then quickly courted and wed to a man from Brooklyn who is a very wealthy fabric seller from up North. She then moves to London and has to adjust to her new life.
#2
Finishing Becca
Ann Rinaldi
As I said before I love Ann Rinaldi. Finishing Becca takes place during the Revolutionary war. Becca is sent to work in the home of a well off family as a personal maid to one of their daughters. She faces several dilemmas while she is there. This is definitely a recommended read.
#3
Nine Days A Queen
Ann Rinaldi
Do you get my love yet? Seeing As I have three of her books on this list I think my love is evident. As the other two books this book is a historical fiction. But this one is about an actual person, Lady Jane Grey, who was actually queen of England for nine days. This took place after the death of King Edward VI and before Queen Mary I. The book is about her whirlwind days as queen and what happened after Queen Mary (also known as Bloody Mary nowadays) becomes queen.
#4
Nineteen Minutes
Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult is another one of my favorite authors. I love many of her books but this is the very first one I ever read. If you don't recognize her name her most famous book is My Sister's Keeper which was tured into a major motion picture starring Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin. Nineteen Minutes is about the nineteen minutes in which a school shooting takes place and the aftermath.
#5
Room
Emma Donoghue
Room is an amazing book. it is very highly recommended. I recieved this book as a gift and I had never heard of it before. but I am so glad that I got it. I can't even begin to just describe it vaguely. I'm afraid that if I attempt to I'll accidentally give too much away. So instead I'll just include the actual synopsis of the book from Barnes and Noble. I also think it is worth mentioning that this book was made into a movie starring Brie Larson. I have yet to see it but when I do I'll review it for you.
Synopsis: To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world. . . . It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer.
Room is a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilarating—a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child.
#6
The Kite Runner
Khaled Hosseini
I'll admit I was forced to read this book and I hated the teacher who taught that class. Not for forcing me to read this though. I actually loved this book which surprised me. It was a book I was reading for school. I didn't expect to like it. But I did and it introduced me to an amazing author and taught me a little bit about a culture I knew little to nothing about.
I recommend all of the books listed above and I welcome any recommendations you may have for me. There are other books I love they just didn't make this list. There is one book I remember reading every summer for like three years when I was younger. I'd love to reread it now but I can't remember the title or the author. I thought it was called Becoming Emily but upon research I discovered I was wrong. It's about a Chinese-American girl and her parents rules and finding the right balance. That's all I can remember about it. I hope I'm able to find it some day.
What are your favorite books?
