Dizz Tate: Books That Made Me Want to Write: Dizz Tate’s Bookshelf for Brutes (0 comment)
When I was writing my book, Brutes, there came a point where I wanted to be thinking about it even when I was so tired of it I couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. I was also terrified of leaving it alone, like the book would forget me if I stopped reminding it I was there...

    Room by Emma Donoghue
    Carole S, February 09, 2011
    Absolutely the best book I have read in a long, long time. It's rare that I find a book that keeps me wide awake and turning the pages until 2 a.m., but "Room" did it...I've never felt so emotionally attached to the characters and plot of a book. "Room" is captivating and well-told. This is definitely one book I'm recommending to everyone.

    Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
    Carole S, May 04, 2010
    I don't usually pick up books classified as "thrillers" but after discovering "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" I HAD to run out and get "The Girl Who Played with Fire." Larsson does an amazing job of twisting and turning the plot--every time I thought I had figured something out, I was wrong. Larsson is a fantastic storyteller and his complex characters keep you turning the page.

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
    Carole S, March 16, 2010
    An absolutely engrossing page turner, and one of the best books I have read this year--I couldn't put it down. If you have a weekend to sit and read, pick up this book. You won't put it down, and you won't be disappointed.

    Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
    Carole S, March 01, 2010
    Beautifully written and emotionally real. You're sure to find a character you can identify with amid the pages of "Olive Kitteridge."

    Paper Towns by John Green
    Carole S, January 27, 2010
    Another fantastic book by John Green. "Paper Towns" is witty and captures the essence of the "slightly awkward kid in the midst of high school" perfectly. I laughed out loud and fell in love with Green's writing style and relatable characters. Definitely a must-read.

    Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
    Carole S, January 24, 2010
    If you enjoyed Twilight, you'll enjoy this dark, fallen angel romance about Nora, a typical teenage girl, and Patch, her bad boy biology partner with a mysterious demeanor. Nora doesn't understand why it seems like someone wants to kill her, and her best friend is convinced that Patch is behind all the creepy things that seem to be happening. Nora isn't sure what to think until she starts falling for Patch, and has to decide if she thinks her safety is worth risking to figure out his secrets...

    Catching Fire: Hunger Games #2 by Suzanne Collins
    Carole S, January 23, 2010
    A fantastic follow-up to Collins' The Hunger Games. As with The Hunger Games, I couldn't put it down, and I've been recommending the trilogy to everyone I know. Collins keeps you turning pages by tossing in some great twists and turns along the way. The only reason I'm rating it a 4 is because it takes a little more time to pick up the pace in the beginning compared to The Hunger Games. Despite that, once it picks up, you won't want to put it down. Can't wait for the 3rd book's release in August!
