Wake : Lisa McMann

"For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime.
She can't tell anybody about what she does -- they'd never believe her, or worse, they'd think she's a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn't want and can't control.

Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a participant.... "

Wake is an awsome book and in a way kinda weird one. I pulled it off the shelf thinking it was going to be this totally awsome kick butt book, but it wasnt quite that. It was a really good, you will be on your seat clear till the end wondering what crazy thing Lisa will have Janie do next. Totally cool i recommend it all the way!

That’s when her comes up with a plan for them to tell the judge that she is there teacher, because her mother is pregnant they cannot imprison her and Abigail and her sister are free to go.

This is a very good book and is on my must read list. It teaches you a lot about the Salem Witch trails. I would advise this book for a book report or something like that.

13 Reasons Why: Jay Asher

Clays life changes when he gets a mysterious box from a unknown source. He opens it to find 7 tapes, with a story on each side. When he put the tapes in him Walkman he hear the voice of his good friend and the girl he was secretly crushing on, she had committed suicide months before. As he listens to the tapes he follows the map that was given to him with them. While on an emotional roller coaster he finds his true self and finds out so much about why Hannah killed herself.


Jay Asher is brilliant in this book, I’m not going to say its one of those page turners, you get in done in one day kind of book. Its so much more, you have to let everything soak in and really think about the story to really get what its about and understand. I would read one chapter and sit and think about it for at least and hour. Its not something that you can blow though and move on.


It’s an amazing story and it changes you input on life, you really start to think about your actions and the way you treat others after reading this book. I advise EVERYONE to read it, even if you don’t like reading books that are sad, or about suicide because that’s not what its all about, its like a setting, just there to serve as a background, the real story is between the lines and how you read it.
