The Captive Maiden

At Deseret Book yesterday, I found a good looking book titled The Captive Maiden by Melanie Dickerson.
 It's a retelling of Cinderella, but it's so many times better than Cinderella! I absolutely love this book! It's really exciting and intense and if you're like me, you won't want to put it down (I started reading it at 3:30 and didn't stop until I was finished at 2 A.M).  I love how the book is more complex than Disney's Cinderella movie- and by complex, I mean there's more bad guys, more action, more that happens, and it also switches from Gisela's point of view to Valten's so you get to see more of what's going on and what they're feeling. I personally am not someone who normally reads fantasy books so I really liked how Melanie Dickerson made this without having a fairy godmother just poof out of nowhere and solve her problems. This book was so fun and intense to read, I would highly recommend this book if you are someone who's into romance books. Also, in case you were wondering, it is 281 pages long.

The Fault In Our Stars

I recently finished reading The Fault In Our Stars by author John Green. I love this book! It is such a cute story! I love all the little quotes in it! If you haven't read it, I would highly recommend it. It does occasionally swear, but in my head I just replaced them with better words. There's also one part where you may want to skip like 3 pages but other than that, I really loved the book! I can't wait to see the movie! Also, from what I've seen of the movie trailers so far, the movie follows along with the book really well.
