The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
I finished this novel in the fall and I really enjoyed
it! This novel takes place in Afghanistan, and talks about the life of a
young boy with the name of Amir Jan, and his best friend Hassan.
Hence the title name of the book, they participate in a Kite War. The object of
the game is to cut others' kites, and the last man standing with his kite
still in the air wins. A lot of things have happened, but Amir and Hassan have
some trouble. A group of boys who Amir and Hassan don't get along with have
conflict. The leader of these boys is Assef, and he worships Hitler. These boys
do some pretty harsh things to Hassan which causes Amir to avoid Hassan for
months. This novel was very interesting and I knew I would love it because Hosseini's other novel
called A Thousand Splendid Suns was an amazing book too. The Kite Runner definitely goes in my
top ten favorite books I've read.

The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks
I am a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks books-- I have read many of them. The Rescue has to be a top
contender in one of the best books Sparks has written. This, like all Sparks's books, is a love story.
It involves a young woman named Denise who has a son named Kyle with mental problems; the
man is Taylor McAden and he is a firefighter. The two meet and end up meeting and falling in love;
Kyle even falls in love with Taylor. This is an exceptional story and romance novels are my
favorite, so this definitely deserves five stars!

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is the second book
in the Hunger Games series. This novel continues Katniss
and Peeta's winnings; however, in this book they have to
go into the arena again and fight for their lives. This was
an excellent novel, but I like the first book better. It does
have an unexpected twist at the end. Overall, this was a great
book.

There's More to Life Than This by Theresa Caputo
There's More to Life Than This is the novel
I am currently reading and I am almost finished with
it. This book is written from the same lady on the show
Long Island Medium. This book is
definitely inspirational and is very healing. It talks
about God, spirits, and healing messages
about the other side. It has been very
reassuring and positive and is truly a great
book that I suggest reading!
