Why I chose the books I did this year

The three books I read this year were Thirteen Reasons Why, Breaking Dawn, and Trafficked. These books are very different from each other but hold spots of my three favorite books of all time. I chose to read Thirteen Reasons Why because I loved the reality of it. This is by far my favorite book ever. Jay Asher took real life extremes and applied them to the life of a girl that could easily be related to by other teenage girls. I loved the emotion this book evoked in me and how it made me never want to put the book down. I have yet to read another book that has made me feel that way. I never thought before reading this book that a novel could change your life and how you view certain things. The darkness and morbidity of the book really caught my attention. Because each of the scenarios seen in this book can be seen in real life too, it has interested many girls and guys of all ages. Breaking Dawn falls into my second favorite book of all time. Although the whole series of Twilight was amazing, Breaking Dawn stood out to me the most. I loved how dramatic this book of the series was. It involved so many different emotions and themes that it kept the reader constantly wanting more. The romance, heartbreak, danger, ethics, and fantasy of Breaking Dawn is used in such a way that no other book could compete. Over the past fews years, I have read a few other vampire-fantasy book series and none have impressed me the way the Twilight series has. Nothing about this book can be applied to real life because vampires and werewolves that change between human and animal do not exist. The fantasy aspect of this book is what keeps readers interested and spreading the word on the series. My third and final favorite book was Trafficked. This book comes in at my third favorite because it is scary how manipulative and evil people really can be. Although this book was not based on a true story, it also dealt with true life events that happen all around the world to innocent girls AND boys. I loved how real the book was but at the same time I was frightened and ashamed of how human beings act. This book was not as easy to read because it did not stay in one spot. Sometimes Hannah would have flashbacks and sometimes it would be her real life experience as it was going on. All in all, these three books were perfect to read. They each involved so much detail that it made writing blogs easy. I would recommend these three books to everyone, because just because they are "girly," they can really interest any gender.
