Recent Reads

While I'm working on my Project 25,
I thought I'd post on the books that I've read over the last few weeks.

Here it goes: 

The Happiness Project 
Gretchen Rubin


I enjoyed this book overall. 
It wasn't my most favorite because I didn't feel like I could exactly relate to
 everything she was saying, but I think the idea behind it is good. 
I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good self-help book.
Its one of the better ones that I have read.

Safe Haven
Nicholas Sparks


I liked this book!
It was different from his usual writing style and a bit darker,
but I enjoyed it and I really liked the main character.
I'm not usually a huge Sparks fan, 
but I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good snow-day read.
 I'm not sure that I'm interested in seeing the movie, 
but that's just me. 

Divergent
Veronica Roth

 
I REALLY liked this book.
Similar to the Hunger Games, but a fun, interesting and quick read.
Very compelling story line and I think most of my family would really like it.
(Brianna, Kate, Madeleine!)

Insurgent
Veronica Roth


The sequel to Divergent.
Loved it!

Currently I'm reading:
The Book Theif by Markus Zusak (again!)
1776 by David McCullough

And....
A whole bunch of stuff for school! 

I'd love ANY recommendations (Debby and Grandma!)
because I'm starting to slowly run out of ideas!

4 down! 21 to go!

And for those of you who are wondering,
I'm getting some more things done on my list and will have more posts soon!

Have a very happy Wednesday!
