These books are also in no particular order...I'm not rational or organized as such...
The Silence of Trees
by Valya Dudycz Lupescu
This is a story of Nadya and how she dealt with her ghosts from the past through her entire life. Beautiful story about love, hope, despair and loss. A strong woman dealing with her decisions that shaped her future.
I was drawn into her life and her story and got lost in the story of this brave yet also weak girl who grew in to an old woman with so many secrets.
The Host
by Stephenie Meyer
I'm not a fan of the Twilight movie series. This meant that I ignored the global rush to read the book series. Instead I waited years and finally picked up this book. At first glance and as I started to read it, I thought I was in for an eye-roller and reluctantly kept reading chapter after chapter until the book had me in its grips and I could not put it down. I missed busstops, snuck off to the bathroom, read at my desk under cover of a file folder.
Earth has been taken over by an alien race, using human bodies as host for their own race,c alled Souls. Melanie Stryder, a rebel fighter, has been taken over by a soul called Wanderer. It's Wanderer's story we get to hear and how Melanie, even though faint in memory, grows in Wanderer's memory.
Little Bee
by Chris Clever
Another survival story (2011 was riddled with them). Told from the viewpoint of Little Bee, a nigerian refugee in the UK and her reason for being there and what drives her forward but also from the viewpoint of another woman whose life was touched, ever so lightly at first, by Little Bee and how they came to be eachother's flames.
The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
Survival and Rebels, Teen Style;) Loved this trilogy. A must read for any young female (or male).
A Game of Thrones
by George R.R. Martin
Not the series, this particular book and maybe the second one as well...A great fantasy read.
