Author: Marie Lu

Rating: Top Shelf

I have loved the last 3 years I have gotten to read and experience this trilogy!! It is a very different approach to YA! One of my favorite things about Marie Lu's writing is the perspectives she uses! You get to enjoy the story from the eyes of different characters!!! 

This is the last leg of the story for the Young Elites and you will not want to put it down! It is the perfect book to celebrate fall break with!! If you haven't read the first two books go get your copies now!! If you read and loved the Young Elites and want to read more by Marie Lu check out the Legend trilogy!!

Author: Ransom Riggs

Rating: Top shelf

I enjoyed this book more than the first book in the series!! I thought it was faster moving and easier to follow. It did not disappoint! I am very glad I chose to read it!!! 

This book continues the children's journey through London and in and out of various loops while on the run from the wights. The book also touches more on the relationship  between Emma and Jacob. Through out space and time they are on the search for someone to help their ymbrine Miss Peregrine who is unable to change back into her human form.  Will they make it in time? Or will she be stuck forever?  Read to find out!! 

Go pick up your copy now!! You won't be able to put it down!!

Happy reading!!!

Banned Book Week: Hop on Pop

For the last day of band book week I have chosen to highlight the book Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss. I picked this book because I believe it was banned for ridiculous reasons. Haha. 

Everybody loves Dr. Seuss. His books are filled with so much imagination that they are enjoyable for absolutely everyone!!

Hop on Pop was a banned book because it people thought it promotes violence and it encouraged children to jump on their fathers. Isn't that crazy!?!?!?!

 

Thank you so much for participating in Banned Book Week 2016 with me!!! I hope you enjoyed either reading, rereading, or reminiscing over just a few of many wonderful books!! Comment your favorite banned book below and please follow us on here as well as on Instagram @thebooksundermybed !!!! Happy reading on your next adventures!!!
