A book that is popular here:

   The Fault in our Stars came out on January 10, 2012 and it was the most popular book out. Everyone loved the book because of the story. The story is about two teenagers hazel grace and Augustus waters who just met and it's love at first sight. Even though they both have cancer they stay strong and fight through it, and their world might be crumbling down but they don't let anything bother them, or tear them apart. At the the end of the book Augustus passes away, but his soul is still with hazel. That is why the book is super popular, and teenagers like us can relate to it.

The Fault In Our Stars

Seventeen-year-old Hazel Grace attends a cancer patients' support group at her mothers request. In one of the meetings she sees An attractive teenage boy, and through the time of the meeting she learns the boy’s name is Augustus Waters. He's there to support their friend, Isaac. After the meeting ends, Augustus invites Hazel to his house to watch a movie, and while hanging out they shared their cancer stories. Augustus has been cancer free for years while Hazel is fighting with thyroid cancer. And near the end of their hangout Augusts agrees to read Hazeld favorite book "The Meaning Of An Imperial Affliction." After Hazel and Augustus discuss the literary meaning of An Imperial Affliction, Augustus tells her that he tracked down Van Houten's assistant, Lidewij, and through her he's managed to start an email conversation with the author. He shares Van Houten's letter with Hazel, and she makes a list of questions to send Van Houten, hoping to clear up the novel’s conclusion. Van Houten later replies, saying he could only answer Hazel’s questions in person. He invites her to stop by in Amsterdam. They both go to Amsterdam and there Augustus reveals that he is dying and his cancer came back, shortly after they get back from Amsterdam, Augustus dies.

Another book that is popular here:

    Over the summer there was a variety of books that could have been chosen for our summer reading. While reviewing all of the titles; one of the titles that caught my eye  was The Shack. 



The Shack was an outstanding book about trusting in God and trying to do the right thing. The book was about a man named Mack, who lost his youngest daughter Missy, to a serial killer. The book is about God coming to a Shack to meet with Mack and to try and help him get threw this rough period of time. God was there to help Mack forgive the man who killed his daughter. As the book ends the killer is found along with the remains of Missy and the other little girls the man has killed. In my opinion, I thought the book was wonderful and the book teaches you to forgive a person no matter what that person has done to you. I would recommend this book to anyone who is going threw a rough time to remind them that God is always with us and will never leave any one of us behind. The people in the book inspire me to be a better person and to always for give and forget.
