What Awaits in Reading?

There's a reason that I named my blog, Chelsea's Reading Adventures, because every time I pick up a book - I'm put into a new world with a new story just waiting to occur. There is never a story too identical where I feel like it's not an adventure (although sometimes I read books that just bore me to death that don't feel like an adventure, one of those books happens to be The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls by Julie Schumacher. Here's my review of that book:

This is a hard book to read through. It's not very attention-grabbing in the beginning, and the characters have blah personalities that are not really able to connect to. If you can read slow books without that much of an interesting plot, then I would recommend this. Otherwise, I would tell you to never pick up the book.

I was so disappointed in this book that I didn't have much to say about it.)

But that's a different story, what I want you to do is think about the most exciting adventure you have ever been on just by reading a book, think about the way it made you feel, and if you connected with the characters. I'll tell you my favorite story without telling you the title, the author, or any of the characters. My story would be a young teenage girl finding out that she is a paranormal, so what does she do - she goes somewhere where she feels like she can belong. But when is a story ever that easy, so she discovers that even around other paranormals she doesn't belong. Can you imagine what she is feeling, or what is going through her mind? I couldn't without having read the book. I would have never imagined what it would be like to discover that you aren't human and that you never were - you were born as something else. Being put into a new world like that changes how people view things.

You can tell me your favorite story!


If you've never read the Shadow Falls Series by C. C. Hunter, I definitely recommend it - that's my favorite adventure of all time.
