Third Sentence Thursday (5)

Hosted on Sniffly Kitty's Mostly Books

Thy loving smile will surely hail the love-gift of a fairy tale.

-Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

My Thoughts:

     After reading Splintered, I wanted to know more about Alice in Wonderland. So I decided to read this book along along with Alice in Wonderland, which are two completely different books. I have to say, I like this book a little bit better than the other.

Happy Reading,

"You have to believe in yourself, Nick's teachers had told him."

-Speeding Bullet by Neal Shusterman

My Thoughts:

     I just randomly picked this book out at the library because I've been reading pretty much all Neal Shusterman books for the past two weeks. I can't wait to start reading it!

Happy Reading,

"Sandy brown hair, penetrating eyes and a constant look of contemplation - how could this kid ever be unfamiliar to her?"

- The Kill Order by James Dashner

     At the beginning of this book it gives an insight into the character Teresa's thoughts; she's basically watching her best friend forget her. That would be the hardest thing ever. All those memories that they had made together have just been flushed down the toilet - killed.

Happy Reading,

"Then night comes again and we're still waiting."

 - Reached by Ally Condie

       This sentence really explains the whole entire book. With the Plague as the night, and they're waiting for a cure.  With Ky and Cassia waiting to be reunited with each other.  With Cassia and her family waiting to be able to see each other and steal a few words.

Happy Reading,

"The monster shaped our lives, without our ever touching it,"

-Fallout by Ellen Hoppkins 

     In the book, the main character is addicted to crystal meth. Fallout is told by her children and how her addiction changed them. It's a really, really depressing book, but happy at the same time. It was nice to read a book that was "real." This book was loosely based on  the author's daughter.  Not fiction, fact.

Happy Reading,

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

-Crossed by Ally Condie

     To me this sentence this is very powerful because I'm already halfway through the book.  It's actually from a poem by Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, it's a beautiful poem about rebelling and love and hatred. I encourage you to look it up.

Happy Reading,

Alivia :)
