    I chose to read Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon because when I read the description it catches my attention the part that said "I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years." and "He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely." because I want to understand what did she mean that she is allergic to the world, how can that be possible, and my favorite color is black, most of the time I wear black too, so from that moment I can already feel the connection between us (the book and me). And as I was reading the book (it only took me one day to finish it, a new record) I started to think that the main character's, Madeline's, thoughts and mine are very alike. Like, if I were in that situation I would think the same or act the same. I like this book a lot, is a book that I could read it again (normally I don't like rereading something).

      I voted for Alive by Chandler Baker. When you start reading it, it will seem like a normal teen book, but it's so much more. Chandler Baker involved the supernatural in an amazing plot twist which was not expected at all. There is a great combiation of romance and suspense that will keep you hooked on the book until the end. The book will make you feel like you are there with them , I seriously recommend it.

        Con Academy: If you like action and plot twists this is the right book for you . Throughout the book there will be action and everything can change. This book can entertain in an incredible way , as there is action throughout the book. After all, if you are looking for quick reading this is a book that you can finish very fast. Rating: 4.2/5

          I voted for The Devil You Know by Trish Doller because it is the only book that have had me "at the edge of my seat". It was a really good book and I really recommend. It was full of romance, fun, action, and there were so many plot twists and so may things that happened were unbelievable. This book really taught me not to trust anyone and that some people arent what they appear to be.

            I voted for Black Widow: Forever Red. I felt like this changed up the style from your typical Marvel comic, which it should since it isn't a comic. It felt a little more relatable setting teenager Ava as the main character, and she felt like a great character. Her perspective of Black Widow is something you don't see often either. Seeing her as an awful person rather than the hero we all believe she is. The beginning felt a little slow but once it gets done with that, I enjoyed it a lot. And something I loved about it is that even if you AREN'T a Marvel fan like me, it is still a very enjoyable book.

              I voted for Six of Crows! Kaz & Inej are incredibly talented. Infiltration, prison breaks, romance, magic - all the bases are covered. Can't wait for the next book.

                I voted for Everything, Everything. I chose to read this book because of its great reviews; it was rated 4/5 stars in goodreads, and was part of the Zoella's book club. I can tell you, that in my opinion, all the great stuff you hear about this book is true. The plot is riveting, I read the whole thing on one sitting! I know "the sick girl and cute boy" book is a cliche by now, but this book takes a great brand new spin on the whole thing. Yoon captivates the reader with her quirky characters and dramatic plot. The plot twists and humour compliment each other beautifully. Really one of the greatest YA fiction books out there.

                  While looking for something to read you would love to have a book containing a good story line and that's what I got from "Mark of the Thief" by Jessica Nielsen. The book is great and has a great story full of thrill and emotions that will get you reading for hours. "Mark of the Thief" not only is full of a good story script but also has a great reflection on your maturity and braveness. I strongly recommend reading this book as it will take you in a interesting journey.

                    I read "Con Academy" about 2 months ago, and I absolutely loved it. It's the perfect example of a realistic fiction novel that can appeal to anyone. Full of action, plot twists, and thrills, "Con Academy" successfully engaged readers and kept them fully entertained. I fully and wholeheartedly recommend it.

                      I read the Book "Alive" that tells a story of a young girl who needs to overcome a really difficult obstacle,heart transplant. When she receives it , it gets somehow complicated and needs all time care by her parents and friends.Allthough she isn't good she goes to school and suffer various incidents. Her love life in the other hand is a roller coaster in which she needs to realize her relationship isn't a healthy one.
