Witch and Wizard!

What the heck, let's review another James Patterson series while we're at it. James Patterson writes a wide variety of books from kids to adults from sci-fi to mystery to fantasy. This series is a fantasy series. Witch and Wizard are about siblings who discover they're magical during a mass genocide of magical people. They are locked up, they get help, they escape, they get locked up again, they escape and are on the run, and they learn to use their powers along the way and discovery they are some of the most powerful magical kids in the world. This series consists of four books: Witch and Wizard, the Gift, the Fire, and the Kiss. The first three books were pretty good, but the fourth one wasn't the greatest. (And no, it's not because it's called the Kiss, the story wasn't as good in that one as the others in my opinion). If these books sound good to you, check them out!

Confessions of a Murder Suspect!

So the title itself is interesting enough, this book has an interesting plot with some twists in it. Tandy wakes up one night to the cops knocking at the door claiming they had a 911 call that her parents were dead. But that was impossible! The doors were locked and the only ones in the house were her and her siblings. She goes up to check on her parents to find their dead bodies. This books is a big mystery that just keeps getting more complicated. If a complicated mystery book sounds interesting to you, check out Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson.

The Fault in Our Stars!

This book is one of the books I have read more recently than others I should be blogging about (meaning that I finished it in about 7 hours yesterday), but I figured that since it was in theaters, it was justifiable. So where to begin with this book? It's a romance, and I usually don't like reading romances, plus I knew the whole plot already. It surprised quite a few people when I told them I was going to read it. It was actually a decent book for a romance, it was pretty well written and that made it a quick read. There was also a bit of comedy mixed into it which is always a plus.This books is from Hazel's point a few. Hazel is a 16 year old girl with cancer in her lungs. She is a very smart, philosophical person which makes this book even more interesting. She meets Augustus at a cancer support group while he's there supporting his friend, Isaac ( who she becomes friends with) and gets to know Augustus more. They read each other's favorite books and they both become huge fans of this book and try to get in contact with the author. That's all I'm going to say so I don't ruin the book for you like someone did for me. This book is pretty good, but is really sad and can be called traumatizing at one point. (I'll let you read and see what part that is yourself). I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance books. The author, John Green, has a video blog with his brother on Youtube which is really interesting and he has videos about different subjects for school. So the author of the book seems like a pretty cool guy. I'm going to be seeing this movie with a friend later in the month (Hi friend!), so I'll let you know if it's any good (even though this is a  book blog, not a movie blog, it's book related.) Here's the trailer for the movie below.
