This book was simply amazing. I laughed and I cried at the same time. It really puts things into perspective. This book is heart-breaking and funny at the same time. If you liked The Fault In Our Stars you will love this book.

Live Through This

Mindi Scott
Traci Newcomb
, August 05, 2017
This book was breathtaking. It was a page turner for sure. At first I thought I knew where the book was going, but then it went somewhere I never expected. I was literally shocked. Live Through This deals with a difficult topic. I thought that it was handled very well.

Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with His Mother
by
Nazario, Sonia
Traci Newcomb
, August 09, 2015
Enrique's journal gave me a point of view that I could have never experienced otherwise. His books shows the heartbreaking decision a mother has to make for her children. It shows just how far a mother os willing to go for her children and how important it is for a child to have a parent in their life.

by
Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Traci Newcomb
, April 16, 2015
This book succeeded my expectations. Everyone had told me how great it was and I was scared that it would not live up to my expectations. Luckily it surpassed my expectation. The emotions in this book are so sincere and real. The characters were realistic and funny. I loved the writing and the cover. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is now one of my favorite books.

, February 06, 2015
This was a very light fluffy read. It was a nice break from what I usually read. It made me smile. I am sure the people around me probably thought I was crazy. If you need to be cheered up, I would recommend this book.

Twenty Boy Summer

Traci Newcomb
, February 04, 2015
This book broke me and then built me back up. It has been a while since I have read a book like this. This is one of those amazing thought provoking books. The emotions that Anna went through in my opinion was very realistic. Some of the quotes in this book were breath taking. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. Beware though, you may cry.

Truly Madly Deadly
by

, January 24, 2015
Truly, Madly, Deadly was a thrilling read. I went back and forth on who I thought the killer was multiple times. It kept me on my toes. It was fast paced and was never boring. I read it in one sitting.

If He Had Been with Me
by
Laura Nowlin
Traci Newcomb
, January 22, 2015
This book shows us how different people see things from a different perspective. I shed a few tears while reading this. I think I would have like the book better, if I liked the main character better. I really enjoyed the friendship between Autumn and Finn.

Last Lecture
by
Randy Pausch
Traci Newcomb
, January 16, 2015
This book was amazing. It really opens your eyes on how you live your life. It makes you appreciate whatever time you may have left on this planet. I will admit that I did cry near the end of the book. Hearing Randy talk about his wife and kids was heartbreaking. I really enjoyed it and I will recommend it to all my fellow high school seniors to read before they go off to college.

I don't normally read classics, but I had to read this one for class. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I liked this book. It was exciting and it's main characters had excellent character development. I couldn't wait to finish it! I will definitely continue to read classic books. Jane Austen is an amazing author. I will definitely read more of her books.

A fantastic story based on chance or fate. I liked both of the lead characters Graham and Ellie. I thought the book ended in a perfect way. It was a lovely light read and something I think everyone needs to read every now and again. I will definitely be reading more books by Jennifer E. Smith

Wintergirls is a book that will haunt you. It isone of those books that gives you an entirely new perspective. It is a hard topic that is considered taboo but, needs to be talked about. It was a fantastic book.

, August 12, 2014
I am so sad to see this series end. For the first time in a long time I am actually satisfied with the ending of a series. I love the two points of view. It was as good as the first two. It was a satisfying ending to an amazing book series.

An incredibly haunting story. This book truly has a twist ending. We Were Liars was easy to finish in a short amount of time. Definitely a must read. I am so glad that I decided to read this. I did not see the ending coming. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Hunger Games 01
by
Suzanne Collins
Traci Newcomb
, July 20, 2014
This has to be one of my favorite books. Katniss is so dedicated to protecting her sister that she is willing to sacrifice herself for her. District 12 isn't the best place to live. People go hungry and it isn't the safest place either. Getting drawn to go into the games is a death sentence. The Hunfer Games definitely kept my attention. I really love this book and this series.

I can honestly say that even though i don't know too much about Shakespeare i still really enjoyed this book. Twist and turns everywhere. I was literally freaking out in my seat. I think the more you know about Shakespeare the more you will enjoy it.

Delirium 01
by
Lauren Oliver
Traci Newcomb
, July 20, 2014
I thought this book was a very interesting book. What if we lived in a world without love? Where we never had to fall in love or feel lovesick? It was a very good book and kept my attention the entire time. Definitely a good book.

This was a book I didn't hate but, I didn't love it either. The characters were kind of bland and the ending was predictable but, the book still had its fine moments as well.

A story that really does prove that dogs are truly man's or in this case woman's bestfriend. A testament to the fact that dogs can help us through the hardest and most tramatic parts of our lives.

I am a huge fan of mystery/crime books but, I always find that I know who did it. This time I had no clue who did what. This has to be one of the best crime books I have read in a long time and will definitely be picking up the next book

Wow is the first word to pop in to my head after reading this. This is the third book in the Game of Thrones series and I didn't think the series could get any better but, it did. I can't wait to read the fourth book.

An amazing fantasy world that drags you in and just won't let go. I wasn't sure I would like it but, I am so happy to say that I absolutely love it and am already on the second book. I laughed and I cried. I have never read another book like it. I can definitely say this is going to be one of my favorite series.

Th1rteen R3asons Why
by
Asher, Jay
Traci Newcomb
, July 01, 2014
One of my favorite books. A book that will haunt you and make you think differently than the way you did before. It teaches us that we have no clue what impact we have on other's lives and that we need to be more considerate of others. A definite must read if you liked If I Stay by Gayle Forman or The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.
