Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

This was an interesting read. Abraham Lincoln is a vampire hunter in this book like the title suggests. Without giving away too much, It is a biography of Abraham Lincoln's life but with a twist. Parts of it were a bit more difficult to get through but overall it was a very good book. The plot combines both factual history and fiction which I thought was done wonderfully. I would check it out especially if you're into history and don't mind it involving vampires.

Where's You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple

If you're looking for a good summer read, this is it. It's main character is sarcastic and humorous woman who is frustrated with living in Seattle so she decides to outsource all her interactions to a personal web assistant all the way in India. Very unique plot and characters. Definitely recommend,very enjoyable read

The Soloist by Steve Lopez

Very good book, it definitely shows how much mental illness can change someone's life, in Nathaniel's case; going from being a talented musician at Julliard to being a talented musician on the streets who has become homeless due to his illness, however continues to be happy thanks to his love of music.

Fellow Mortals by Dennis Mahoney

Tragic story about how an accidental fire tears a community apart that slowly works on coming back together, with lots of rough patches along the way. Great character development, all very diverse personalities. Sad in many parts yet a beautiful story overall, couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend this book.

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

John Green does a wonderful job writing, the details in the book to make you feel as though you're there with the characters and actually get to know them. Beautiful yet tragic story. Such an easy read yet it doesn't lack detail and draws you in. The Fault in Our Stars is a book that really makes you think after you read it. This makes me very interested in reading more of John Green's work. Wonderful book, I highly recommend it
