Again, I am shelving a reread as a book I read this year. I hope no one minds this:)

AHHHHHHHHH THIS BOOK STILL MANAGES TO KILL ME TO THIS DAY AND I LOVE IT.

This will forever be my favorite series and I have stayed with Harry until the very end and beyond <3

Love you, JK Rowling, you're my idol, hero, and inspiration.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my favorite out of all the books in the series. A few people say that this book is their least favorite of the series because it is slow in the beginning. I found this book quite the opposite and loved the beginning because it gave more insight on the friendship between a parental figure and the main character. I also have a taste for longer books and it is the longest book at the high end of 800 pages. This novel is certainly violent and a major character dies. I will say that the death made me sad, so beware. The characters have developed into wonderful people that will go to any lengths to help their friends, even if it means risking their own lives. The students are rebelling against the ministry and the horrific new teacher. There is some kissing and love in this novel, but nothing really inappropriate. The vocabulary is still high for some kids and they may find this book hard to read. Rowling adds great new bumps in the road for the famous trio that put you on the edge of your seat. Overall this book is wonderful and I recommend it highly.

Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me was very unique. I wouldn’t ordinarily pick it up in a store, so I was glad a salesperson recommended it to me. The plot idea is one I have never read before and includes a main character whose touch is fatal. Mafi also wrote differently than I was used to, using crossed out words to show the main character’s conflicted personality. At times the crossed out phrases or words were used to add interest (like having a whole page filled with the same phrased repeated and scratched out every time), but other times it didn’t make logical sense and I found myself racking my brain for a reason behind it. I didn’t think it was written that well, but as Mafi’s first published novel, it wasn’t terrible. I kept reading because of the interesting plot and intriguing characters. I enjoyed the ever-moving plot because recently I read a book where the plot hardly moved in the first one hundred pages (more on that in the next review) and that was very boring. Shatter Me was a little violent, but nothing I (or anyone else my age) couldn’t handle. It also had some romance, but there are hardly any young adult novels where the protagonist doesn’t have a love interest anymore. I recommend this book for fans of other dystopian novels or are just looking for something new.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer is a good book, but terribly written. The author is a horrible writer. There are grammatical errors throughout the book and it drove me insane. The most common error was adding a comma before the word “too”. That is incorrect and very annoying. This is a romance novel, thus there will be romance. I have rated it for 13 year olds because there is too much romance for young readers. The main character is obsessed with her boyfriend, which is unhealthy and a bad message for young readers. I highly recommend that younger readers should pick up a book that contains characters with good moral values and an author that can actually write. Besides the terrible grammar, I enjoyed this book. The main character is not easy to like because she is not smart, but you still manage to root for her. If you like vampire and werewolf love triangles than I recommend this book.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is a dystopian future novel like no other. I could not put this book down. Everything about it was intriguing. It was written without many high vocabulary words so a younger reader could read it, but the overall message would confuse them. There is mild violence and practically no swearing. The main character is in love, but there is nothing more than kissing. I thought the message was a really good one and could bring up a discussion about looks and whether they really matter. I think that message is important because we indulge too much in how everyone looks when we should be thinking about how people are on the inside. I recommend this novel to my fellow dystopian fans.
