Hello book lovers and welcome back to my blog!
I don't have a good memory on a regular basis. So asking me if I remember every single book that I've read wouldn't end very well. I would either draw a blank...orrrrr run away from you as quick as I can. Preferably the latter. No, I'm just kidding. 😅 Or am I?
I like to reread the books that I really like or ones that I've completely forgotten about. Most of the time it's because I read it too fast and didn't absorb enough for it to stick in my brain. But just because I don't remember it doesn't mean that I hated the book. It's just that I'm a human and not a computer with over one hundred gigs of storage...though it would be cool. I reread books mostly through audiobooks. I find that I can make progress on new books but also reread the ones that I want. It's a win-win for everybody! So in no particular order, these are the books that I hope on rereading very soon.
Also, if you would like to go to Amazon for any of these books, just click on the image!
#1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I may or may not have mentioned it multiple times but The Hunger Games is one of my favorite series of all time. So as a guilty pleasure read, I would like to reread the series again. I've actually already made some headway on this plan since I've already reread The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I'm procrastinating on Mockingjay since it wasn't really my favorite book out of the three. But I promise...I will get to it soon! WINNING MEANS FAME AND FORTUNE.
LOSING MEANS CERTAIN DEATH.
THE HUNGER GAMES HAVE BEGUN. . . .
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and once girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
The Hunger Games is just one of those series that's iconic and you just can't help loving. The government was cruel and oppressive but people rebel. Which is basically the foundation of a dystopian book. I find myself gravitating toward the series so much because I'm very invested in the characters. I loved Katniss because she was very brave and protective of her sister. Peeta had such a kind heart and would not hesitate to risk his life for the people that he loved (ahem, Katniss). They both go on this big journey and in the end, it's bittersweet. If you haven't read this series...I suggest you pick it up in the near future. If you hate the series...I'm sorry. But I'm curious about why so comment down below!
#2. The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling
This is another iconic series. One that I wouldn't mind rereading for the sake of nostalgia.
I don't think you guys need a synopsis on this series. But I'm just going to give a brief summary of the first book. Harry Potter lived with his aunt and uncle, and his spoiled cousin, Dudley. His life had miserable until one day, he received a letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry didn't know that his mother and father went to the same school...or that they died to protect him. The "boy who lived".
Harry set off to Hogwarts to find how much he felt at home there. Especially with his new friends. But there were dangerous objects hidden behind the castle wall. And it must be kept from falling into the wrong hands. Only Harry, Ron, and Hermione will be able to save Hogwarts. But in order to do so, they will have to face forces more terrifying than anything they could've imagined.
Harry Potter was the series that started it all for me. My love of reading and me being a huge Potterhead. I haven't read the series in a while now. And I think it's time for me to step into the world again and just experience the world that was created from a woman's imagination. And just to remind myself why I am a Potterhead and why I will always be one. Always.
#3. Warcross by Marie Lu
If you guys have read my earlier post about my top duologies...you would know I don't remember much from this book, or the next book in the duology.
For the millions who log in every day, Warcross isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. The obsession started ten years ago and its fan base now spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit. Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down players who bet on the game illegally. But the bounty hunting world is a competitive one, and survival has not been easy. Needing to make some quick cash, Emika takes a risk and hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships—only to accidentally glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation.
Convinced she’s going to be arrested, Emika is shocked when instead she gets a call from the game’s creator, the elusive young billionaire Hideo Tanaka, with an irresistible offer. He needs a spy on the inside of this year’s tournament in order to uncover a security problem . . . and he wants Emika for the job. With no time to lose, Emika’s whisked off to Tokyo and thrust into a world of fame and fortune that she’s only dreamed of. But soon her investigation uncovers a sinister plot, with major consequences for the entire Warcross empire.
Marie Lu is an amazing fantasy author. She has built so many amazing worlds that I love. But what's more...she has written and created so many characters I adored. Like June and Day in the Legends trilogy. Nannerl in The Kingdom of Back. I have yet to read her Young Elites trilogy but it is on my very, very long TBR! And especially Emika in Warcross.
From what I can remember in the book, Emika was a wild character with rainbow hair (superrrr cool) who could hack.

Hacking is a bad thing but Emika was desperate for money. But when she managed to hack into the most popular game in the world...Emika found herself being escorted to see the creator of the game himself, Hideo Tanaka. I got sucked into the world super quick and couldn't put the book down. The romance was...*dinosaur noise*—SYSTEM MELTDOWN— It just so happened that I'm currently rereading Warcross right now! Reading, listening, you know what I mean. It's all coming back to me now...and I love it!
#4 The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
Twilight is probably one of the most contraversial series/book out there in the book world. Some people really love it, and other really hate it. I've read the Twilight Saga years ago and I "liked" it. But I would like to see what my feelings are now. I've seen the movie in the past month and...I didn't like it that much. I find Edward very creepy in the first movie because of all the things he said to Bella. Was...was it supposed to be romantic???
About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him—and I didn't know how dominant that part might be—that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight is a love story with bite.
Basically, Bella went from Phoenix, Arizona, to Fork, Washington where it rained all of the time. Met and fell in love with a guy who just happened to be a vampire. A vampire who was especially thirsty for her love. But he tried his best to control it. Now, there was another gang of vampires who wouldn't hesitate to drink human blood. And one of the members just happened to be obsess with Bella and wanted to drink her blood.
It definitely sounds like an interesting and potentially good book. I don't know. I would like to reread it before giving my opinion on it fully.
#5 The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.
Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
This was such a heartbreaking, but powerful book. While the book focused on Starr and what she was going through, it was written pretty unbiasedly. And I hate, hate, hate myself for forgetting what happened! It's exactly like the case with Warcross. I fell in love with the story and couldn't put the book down. But I went through the story so fast, I have a hard time remembering what happened. I have yet to see the movie (you may be asking what is wrong with me...don't worry, I ask myself that e-ver-y-day), but I plan on to once I reread the book.
#6 The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
The Fault in Our Stars is a pretty well-known book. In fact, it even has a movie...of which I still haven't seen yet. *sighs* I'm sorry guys...I would promise but I've made so many promises so far that I'm starting to not believe myself.
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.
John Green has a pretty unique writing style and it threw me off when I first read this book. I also felt that the pacing was off. But I still enjoyed the book. I read this a year or two ago and I've read several more John Green books in the meantime. So I would like to give this another try and see if I would like it even more. Also, I really want to see the movie and I would have to read the book first.
That's it guys! My five—six? I can't count—books that I plan on rereading in the very near future. I'm already making some progress with The Hunger Games and Warcross! Though, the rest will have to wait a while since I like reading new stuff too! Tell me in the comment down below what book you're planningn on rereading! That's all I have today and I hope you guys will have a wonderful rest of your day! Peace!
