The Maze Runner

Thomas arrives at the Glade with no memory of his life before he arrived. He is greeted by 60 other boys who also have no memories either. The Glade is enclosed by a maze. The runners run in the maze every day trying to find a way out. They have been looking for two years. But the maze changes every night after the walls close. The boys also face the grievers a terrifying monster that poisons them if they get stung. The next day after Thomas arrives a girl arrives. She says that everything will change and it does. She was the trigger that initiated the end for the maze. Thomas becomes a runner to find the way out and he does but not before the grievers come and take some of them when the maze doors don't close. After fighting some grievers to get to the exit they escape from the maze. Then they learn that the maze was just a test for something bigger. Remember, survive and run.
      I loved this book!!! This is the first book in the Maze Runner Trilogy. It was so weird but I had to find out what was gonna happen next and the reason for the maze.

Nancy Drew's Guide to Life

This was a short little book about tips from Nancy Drew books the originals. It was cute. Then it told you what book it came from.


Saving Simon

This book was about a guy rescuing a donkey that was abused and the compassion he developed because of the donkey. I learned a lot about donkeys and their behavior. It was really sad in the beginning but toward the end, it just got boring because he talked to long.

Eat This Not That Supermarket Survival Guide

This book was very good. It gave you facts from each section of the supermarket and explained why it's healthy and why it's not. I learned a lot. Then, in the end, it had healthier recipes. Highly recommend to everyone. 



Out of Body Experiences How to Have Them and what to Expect

I read this book for my book research. It was very interesting. It was cool to see how he experienced OBE's and then he gave some facts about it. It talked about how to induce them too but that is not the purpose for why I read it.









The Last Coon Hunter

This book was written by Joe Crance who I know personally because he is in my writer's group. If I didn't know him personally I probably would not have read this book. But it was very good. It was about coon hunting but it was also about the Ernst family and their relationships. Jacob Ernest has 2 sons Nathan and Mead. They have grown up living on a farm learning about coon hunting. They also learn about the legends of Painted Post NY. Jacob instilled great values in his sons. Their mom died when they were really young. But their lives are turned upside down when the drug trade comes to town to seek revenge on the Ernst family.
     I will not reveal much more than that because it's a very exciting book and I don't want to ruin it for anyone. I really loved how the author gave life his animal characters human characteristics. He writes very eloquently and I think anyone who reads this book will fall in love with the story just like I did.
