The Jefferson Key (Cotton Malone #7), Steve Berry

India
Jefferson Key
Cotton Malone thought that he was going to enjoy a nice weekend in New York with Cassiopeia Vitt. Until he got a call from his old friend and former boss, Stephanie Nell asking him to meet him somewhere because she needed his help. Little did he know that phone call would take his simple weekend in New York and turn it into another adventure for Malone. Malone and Vitt find themselves caught in the middle of the history of the presidency dealing with pirates in times of crisis in American History. Now, these modern day pirates have decided to take matters in their own hands, and only finding a document that has been hidden for about 100 years can save them.
As always I love Cotton Malone novels, and Steve Berry did not disappoint. I typically love the ones in the foreign countries because I get an idea of other countries. This was interesting too because it deals with American History, and I actually know a little bit about that.  I love that you get to know the recurring characters more and more as you read, and they start to become a part of you. I will start the next one on my next vacation! Until next time,

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy Kaling

India
mindy kalingLet me start out by saying that I love Mindy Kaling! I cannot say that I loved this book. I thought it was alright, maybe even good. It was all about how Mindy Kaling became where she is today. It makes good points, and it also directs the reader to understand that not everything happens over night. It also shows how just because they are stars now, it doesn’t mean they’ve always been stars.
I feel like if you’re going through the list of books of female comedians you should read this. I also love to support my curvy, brown girls. She starts out by saying that this book is not a self help book or is meant to give you advice, and I’m glad that she does, or else I would have read it completely different. I’m glad I read it while on vacation. Until next time,

Fallen (Fallen Series Book 1), Lauren Kate

India
fallen-by-lauren-kateFallen is about a young girl, Lucinda “Luce” Price,  who has seen the world through many time periods and eras, and has loved in every generation of her life. The only thing is, she doesn’t remember any of these lives, and how she is tied to the people around her now. When her current life falls apart after the mysterious death of her boyfriend during a fire, her parents send her off to a reform school because they don’t know how to handle what happened. Now that she’s a part of this school she notices that she is drawn to certain people and certain boys at her new school, and has the feeling that she knows them from somewhere, but doesn’t remember well. Her new friend, Arianne, is some what of a character and unlike anyone she has ever been friends with before. She also finds both, Cameron and Daniel, to be two attractive boys who she wants to find out more about. If going to reform school wasn’t bad enough imagine feeling and seeing things that you don’t understand.
 
Fallen by Lauren Kate was a crazy book. It was filled with so many twists and turns that you didn’t see coming. It was a book that you thought you knew exactly what was going on, but then all of a sudden something changed. I definitely recommend this book if you are looking for another romance triangle, with some supernatural elements, and some fun twists and turns. Until next time,

India
Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair!

Even though she is stranded without human or Lunar contact she is supposed to keep tabs on everything happening on Earth. Well, according to Mistress she is supposed to for the Lunar Queen. To Cress the, everything is not so black and white, and she makes the decision to help Cinder and Scarlet even though they don’t know her… yet.
I still have continued to enjoy this series, and seeing where it takes you! All the twists and turns, and the continued growth of all of the characters. I highly recommend you keep going through the series. I cannot wait for he next book to come out in the series! I read some bad reviews on, Fairest, so I will probably read that closer to when Winter comes out in the fall! Until next time,

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles), Marissa Meyer

India
Cinder_CoverNow, you all know how I love a good series. I finally started and finished reading Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Cinder is a modern and futuristic take on the story of Cinderella. In Meyer’s version of Cinderella we are placed in a time after fourth World War that has destroyed the world as we know it and has created an entirely different Earth. There are now humans and cyborgs, humans that have been altered with robot-like parts. Our leading lady, Cinder, is a Cyborg. Cinder, just like Cinderella is living with an awful step mother who does not want her, an awful step sister, and one nice step sister. She is forced to work for the family as a mechanic, but she happens to be the best in the Commonwealth. Instead of everything being all singing animals and Fairy Godmothers, there is true conflict in the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is faced with a disease called Letumosis that reeks havoc on the population causing numerous deaths including the emperor of the Commonwealth, causing a young Prince Kai to come into the throne having to deal with both the epidemic, and a competing nation of the Lunars.
There’s so much more going on in Meyer’s version of Cinderella, but I don’t want to go into too much detail and I want to leave it up to you to figure out. I like her version because it is different, and darker. It is not just about all the singing animals, and Cinderella being nice to everyone, there’s a lot more going on. While reading I thought she also put in some things that are plaguing our world today. I would recommend this book. It is an easy read, and there are more fairy tales that she uses to weave her story. Until next time,
