Top Ten Book Blog

1. The Maze Runner Series by James Dashner

     The Maze Runner series is my all time favorite books.  I first read it when I found out one of my favorite actors was going to be in the movie, Dylan O'Brien was going to star in the movie.  So I decided to read the book before the movie came out.  The series is just very well written and shows you how much your decisions will impact your life, and that not to take things granted.   And I'm so ready for the second prequel to come out in 2016.

2.  Eye of Minds by James Dashner

     Eye of Minds is a complex book that deals with a lot of technology and coding.  In the story you read about how Michael and his friends, Sarah and Bryson, go on an intense journey to stop Kaine and protect the VirtNet.

3.  Stung Series by Bethany Wiggins

      The Stung Series are very addictive book.  The story was kind of fast paced, and kept you entertained.  The story has some action and romance.  It was amazing to read how Fiona would live in a world where everyone was a potential danger.

4. The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins

     The Hunger Games Series is defiantly an eye opener.  In the books you read through Katniss's point of view and see what her perspective is of everything, especially how it is to be the face of the rebellion.

5. Divergent Series by Veronica Roth

     I found the Divergent series a little bit too easy to read, but the plot was really interesting.  It is very similar to The Giver, but it has it's own unique twist.

6. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

     The movie trailer for The Fault in Our Stars first caught my attention.  Before watching the movie I wanted to read the book though.  And so I read about Hazel's and Gus's strong comedic relationship, and how they face their struggles together.

7. Paper Towns by John Green

     I also read Paper Towns because I wanted to read it before the movie came out.  It has a really nice plot, in which Quentin has a huge crush for Margo and would do anything to catch her attention.  Even going on a  nerve-wracking journey to find her when she goes missing.

8. A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

      What caught my eye for A Tale Dark in Grimm was the fact that they were the original Grimm stories.  There's nothing sugarcoated about it.  This story happens to be about the real story of Hansel and Gretel.

9. In a Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz

     In a Glass Grimmly follows the same idea of A Tale Dark and Grimm, but the author (Adam Gidwitz) thinks its far more worse.  This book is actually the story of Jack and Jill.

10. Life as We Knew It
by Susan Beth Pheffer

     Life as We Knew It was actually recommended to me by the librarian.  At first I didn't want to read it because it was written in a diary structure but then I still decided to read it.  It was actually very interesting to read about how Miranda and her family try to survive the crisis the moon had caused.

All About Me


          Hello, my name is Evelyn.  I am 13 and I'm in 7th grade.  I live in Illinois, and have never lived anywhere else.  I have two siblings, an older sister and a younger brother.  I live with them, and my parents.  We do a lot of things together, and I like to think that we are all pretty close.

          Some of my interests would be Youtube, 5SOS, and dogs.   I absolutely love watching Youtube videos, it doesn't really matter what genre I will practically watch anything that catches my eye.  5SOS (5 Seconds of Summer) is a band that I love listening to, I actually went to their concert over the summer.  I've always loved dogs, ever since I was very little and so it's just natural to me to get excited over ever dog I pass by.

          I don't really do much outside of school, other than going on the internet but some of my hobbies are baking and writing.  I love baking, I usually bake from scratch.  It's just something that I've picked up on over the years and it makes me happy.  I also love to write.  I've pursued in writing some stories on an app where you can write a story and share it.  So far I've gotten positive feedback, and will continue writing my story.

          There is not much too learn about me.  Other than the fact that I spend 85% percent of my life on the internet, and that I love baking and writing.  Hope this helped you learning a little bit about me.
