Little Women

Today I am starting Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.  This is just one of many classics that I have yet to read.  It's the story of the 4 March sisters during the Civil War.  I'm excited to read another classic.

I finished The Death Cure by James Dashner last night.  This is the final book in The Maze Runner trilogy.  This book had many twists like the other 2.  While I liked the ending, it wasn't what I expected.  I still feel like I am missing some of the important things that Thomas and Teresa remembered.  I am going to have to read book 1.5 to see if they are mentioned in there.

The Death Cure

I started The Death Cure (3rd Maze Runner book) last night.  It starts out with Thomas secluded from everyone else and it's hard to figure out what will happen.  They of course throw a twist in right away.  Sometimes I am able to figure out what is happening in a book, but I can't in the Maze Runner series.  It just seems so bizarre.  Really creative story.  I'm curious to see how it will all end.  And I just found out he made a prequel, so I'm going to have to read that too.

I finished The Scorch Trials by James Dashner on Friday.  It is the 2nd book in The Maze Runner Trilogy.  I felt like this one was a lot quicker read.  It didn't have as much description at the beginning and jumped right into the story.  There were a few new characters introduced that added a lot to the story.  This one was even more suspenseful than the first.  I also felt more of a Hunger Games feel in The Scorch Trials.

I finished The Maze Runner while we were in Wisconsin.  This book was really interesting.  It was about a fake word created by a government agency called WICKED.  Teenage boys are locked in a world and have to figure their way out of a maze.  There are lots of twists and challenges along the way.  I don't want to give away to much.  Mason and I both really liked it.

I finished A Room of One's Own a few days ago.  It was a classic essay by Virginia Woolf.  The best word to describe this book is "boring".  It didn't match the description at all.  I think it only talked about Shakespear's sister for 1 paragraph.  It was a lot of comparisons to famous classic books and comparing the writing styles of men and women.  I did learn a few interesting facts about some writers, but this book is too boring to recommend to anyone.  If you feel the need to read it, start on page 46.
