1. Leaving by Karen Kingsbury. A continuation of the Baxter family saga. This one is about Bailey Flanigan. I must say that although this was a quick read, I wasn't as captivated as I had been with Karen's other books. Read the other 3 series first (14 books, don't be alarmed. They are some of the best, can't put them down books I have ever read).
2. Water for Elephants. SO good. Read now. Then see the movie and swoon.
3. Mystic Lake by Kristin Hannah. Very very good. I love anything Kristin Hannah writes, so if you're looking for a new author, she's amazing.
4. Night Road by Kristin Hannah. Started this book yesterday and finished it this morning. SO. GOOD. Before Night Road, Firefly Lane (also a must read) was my favorite Kristin Hannah book. If you read one book off this list, make it Night Road.
5. The Hunger Games Series. I read this 3 book series during exams. Weird but awesome. I kind of want to name something Everdeen after reading the series. They're making a movie (with Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson...sigh) out of these books so read promptly!
And now I'm reading My Antonia by Willa Cather. Yay for summer!

I am the mother of a teenage daughter and this book has caused me to rethink the way I've handled some things. I can relate to Jude as I am a helicopter mother and want to protect my kids with everything in me. I really enjoyed this book and will recommend it to everyone!!! Life can change on a dime, let your kids know how much you love them and at the same time allow them to experience independance a little as they grow.
