The Hunger Games By; Susanne Collins

 Well i'm sure you've heard of the Hunger Games. It's about a Dystopian World where the country is divided in to 12 Districts and the Capitol. The further down the line you go the more poverty stricken they are. Every year to remind the people of the war, each district sends two teenagers, a boy and a girl to fight to the death in the Hunger games. This year it's Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. The victors are sent to the capitol to train for the games and then to be sent off to the arena to fight to the death and be the last one standing. I flew through the Hunger Games. And I loved every second of it. It's a book that is depressing to think about and it's so much more than a love triangle. I highly recommend this book and,

May the odds be ever in your favor.

War Women and the News by; Catherine Gourley

War Women and the News is about female journalists and their fight to cover WW2. This book talks about lots of women who get jobs as journalists. most cover out of country, but some stay in the US. Some cover the front lines, some the devastation war causes. One woman and her husband get imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp. It's a very informational and inspirational book. It's got lots of pictures and backgrounds on all of the journalists. Its really cool to read about women who paved the way for women all over the world who because of women in WW2 who made it possible to be whatever you want to be! id say that because this is war that 13+ is a good age for people reading this book. but I would recommend. have you read this book? If not totally do.its super inspirational and you totally should.

When Calls The Heart by: Jeannette Oake

I know that most likely when you think When Calls The Heart, you think Jack Thornton. But the title  has more meaning in the book. There is no Mountie Jack only Wynn hence the when-Wynn. like I said the title has more meaning for the book. Not that I have any problem with at least the first 5 seasons of the show. This is a series of books but sadly I have only read the first one. But there are lots of similarities. This book is about Elizabeth the teacher going from City, to town, to frontier. One of my favorite parts of the book is when she visits her brother and his family, she tells him "I am not here to find a husband," and the one man she wants her brother to introduce her too, he just ends his conversation with. I love how the youngest of her brothers children, is in love with an adult she nicknamed Dee.
I hope this post has encouraged you to go read this book. If it has, please keep in mind. The BOOK came FIRST!
