Book Wishlist!!

Personally, I am a very "series" oriented person when it comes to reading- meaning that I really like reading books that are part of a series. Thus, inevitably, it is a HUGE pet peeve of mine when I finish a book and the next book is scheduled to come out... 2 years later. By then I would've forgotten everything that happened in the series and I would have to reread the old books to jog my memory before I start the new one, and it just gets really annoying... Anyways... just a little background info that kind of explains the books I really want to read in the future:

1). Fall of Five (Lorien Legacies) By Pitticus Lore: I started reading this series last year and instantly fell in love with it. I read the first book and immediately bought the next 2 on my Nook. The plot seemed so distant and far- fetched, yet so close to home. The whole "creatures from another planet with super powers" kind of made the book sound very fictional. However the fact that John (main character) had to move a lot to hide his identity, lost his foster dad, and had to go through so much pain to save something he cared for deeply made this book seem like it could very much happen in reality.

2). City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments) By Cassandra Clare: The majority of my posts on my blog is about the prequels to this book. The ending of the book before this one ended on such a cliff hanger that I REALLY want to know what happened. Also, I feel like in this series, everytime a happy even occurs, it somehow always turns bad. The ending of the 5th book was rather happy and I have a feeling that something horrible is going to happen in the next book.

3). Allegiant (Divergent) By Veronica Roth: The first 2 books really grabbed my attention because ALL of the characters were so relatable- even the antagonists. Also, the fact that this book is set in such dystopian society really made me feel much more appreciative of the world we live in today. I couldn't help constantly thinking, "Is this what our world could turn into one day?".

Now time for some books that aren't part of a series:


4). The Book Thief By Markus Zusak: I have read so many good reviews (esp on Blogger.com) on this book. I also considered reading this book for my summer reading project so I have already read the short synopsis about the book. It sounded so interesting and is set during the Holocaust which is such a sad, yet captivating time period.

5). The Perks of Being a Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky: This was my language arts teacher's favorite book last year, so it has definitely been the top "want to read". Also the idea for the story sounds really well thought out and unique. (And also I have read really good reviews of this book on Blogger.com too...)
