I just started reading this last week but so far I find it interesting on a historical level and very hard to read on an emotional level. ABOUT- Aminata Diallo is abducted as a child from her village in West Africa and
sent to live as a slave in South Carolina. Years later, she forges her way
to freedom, registering her
name in the historic “Book of Negroes.” An actual document that recorded freed Loyalist slaves who requested
permission to leave the US to resettle in Nova Scotia. They find that
the haven they sought is steeped in an oppression all of its own.
I absolutely love the writing style of Suzanne Collins. Very good read for young adult readers as well as adults. ABOUT- Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen lives in Panem a post-apocalyptic country where the United States once existed. The district where Kat lives is controlled by the "Capital" through the Hunger Games. Stepping forward to take the place of her twelve year old sister for these televised
gladiator type games, Kat has to fight to the death and come out victorious in order to return to her family. 
Not my usual type read but I'm liking it! This book was recommended to me at the University of Lethbridge literature fair. ABOUT- The Graveyard Book is about a boy named Nobody Owens, who is adopted and raised by the occupants of a graveyard after his family is murdered.
The book of Awesome is a often funny, always heart warming, feel good book about everything and nothing all at once.ABOUT- The Book of Awesome takes on life’s greatest feats with honest humor and winning enthusiasm. It isn’t about one man’s favorite things, but rather a catalog of the universal little pleasures we all share making it a wonderful read for all.
