Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) 2794 reviews Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
Everyone should read this, including Christians
+ most awesome book ever
To my understanding, this is a teen saga (four books in a series). It's a romance, it's a suspense, and it's about vampires. Through all of the debates that I read. One topic was on whether or not as a parent you should allow your teen to read these books. Well, they are meant for teens, which ...

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict
+ Another tribute to Jane Austin's addicts. + Confessions of a Jane Austin Addict
I found this to be a fun, light read. It made me LOL, at work no less, as I was reading certain parts. I really liked how the author refers back to Austen novels, quotes and characters throughout the story. At one point, while riding in the horse & buggy to church with her parents, ...

Eclipse (Spanish Edition) 39 reviews Stephenie Meyer
Alfaguara, 2007
Exquisitely Crafted
+ Oh Bella if only you could make up your mind.. + Best book ever!
This was my favorite book in the series, with Twilight as a close second. As a reader, you are really brought into the story and get to experience all of the confusion and angst as it happens. I loved the dialogue, how there was humor and commonality between the Edward and Jacob characters. It ...

Hamilton is definitely the gold standard for retelling these glorious, ancient myths. Her style is engaging and the structure of the book makes it very easy to keep track of such ridiculously branched family trees. This is much more than just a reference book...it's more like a giant Greek ...

READ THIS BOOK!!
+ Rob Bell Shows Us More + An Appeal to Think
Before I decided to read this book my friends kept telling me, "If you're comfortable with your faith, don't read this book," to which I replied, "If you're comfortable with your faith then something is wrong." If we don't challenge our faith, then how will we ever develop spiritually?
That's ...
