Uglies

 Uglies By: Scott Westerfeld

I actually stumbled upon the movie on Netflix before I realized this was a book series. It didn't take long once the movie ended more abruptly than I had anticipated. So I went searching for the reason and discovered it was based off this series. This is another post apocalyptic story about how society changed and "adapted" after a nonnuclear type fallout. There wasn't to many big surprises since I had already seen the movie, but the book is still definitely better. I am excited to continue on to the next book.

Murtagh

 

Murtagh BY: Christopher Paolini

This book was excellent. It was nice to learn more about Murtagh and Thorn, even if their backstory is super tragic. It was interesting to see the evolution of the character through their own eyes instead of through another's viewpoint. The conflict of finding a witch was nail-biting at times. This book had me on the edge from start to finish. If you enjoyed the Inheritance series, this book is a must-read. 

The Second Coming of the Lord

The Second Coming of the Lord By: Gerald N. Lund

This was a really fascinating read. I wish I had read this as a hard copy, so I could have made notes. It was interesting to take a look at all the revelations and prophecies associated with the second coming of the Lord and to be able to see what has already come to pass and things that haven't yet.
