Breathing Books

The Compound by S.A. Bodeen

I enjoyed the idea of this one, I just couldn't get into the weird family dynamic and any of the characters. 

This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

I really liked this one. I enjoyed the writing and mood. I like that each book is a different story with the same enemy. 

The Siren by Kiera Cass

The first half was repetitive about Kahleen complaining about her life, and the sirens moving every few months. I liked the second half where things picked up. I enjoyed the relationship between the girls and the Ocean.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

I finally know what the Room of Requirement is! I enjoyed diving deeper into the series. I do have a hatred for Umbridge. 

What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick

Way too long without much of a plot. Only the second half of the book I finally saw why it was even written.

The Distance From Me To You by Maria Gessner

It had the potential to be this amazing book about feminism and overcoming obstacles while a girl hikes the Appalachian trail alone. Instead, she makes stupid decisions when she meets a boy.
