My Reading Life

 

I am so fond of books that even going to a bookstore makes me feel great,even though I am just browsing and not buying books.Yeah,if I actually buy a book or more,I will feel over the moon. Having said that,I am a picky reader, and if a book doesn't grab my interest within first few chapters,I abandon it to read another one. 

My favorites genres are YA, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery and contemporary 

Inkheart

Inkheart  - Cornelia Funke I really like the book.The idea of reading characters out of books is really interesting to me.
Each chapter is started by a quotation from a classic book,I love them.

Little House on the Prairie

Little House on the Prairie - Garth Williams, Laura Ingalls Wilder It's a nice,little book that I enjoyed reading,I only wish I had read the whole series as a kid, I think some books are meant to be read when you are a kid,you wouldn't enjoy the same as an adult.

Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun - Stephenie Meyer It is the retelling of Twilight from Edward's perspective.i must admit that I have not read New moon and the other two books .I was so curious to know what was going on Edward's head all the time that I gave up reading New moon to read Midnight Sun.but I don't want to continue reading [b:New moon|49041|New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)|Stephenie Meyer|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414jgcy2FAL._SL75_.jpg|3203964] I'm sort of tired reading about bella's love for Edward.I want to read something new.maybe,i will read them later.

Horton Hears a Who!

Horton Hears a Who! - Dr. Seuss A person’s a person, no matter how small...

Pollyanna

Pollyanna - Eleanor H. Porter Actually, at first I watched a movie with the same name on TV. The movie was so appealing to me that I’ve started to find more information about it. The first thing I discovered about it was that it is based on a book. As a result, I went to bookstores and then second-hand bookstores to find the book. However, I ended up finding nothing. At that time, my English wasn’t good enough to read the book in English. Nevertheless, I suppose, it was two years ago that I found the e-book on net and read it.
This book follows the story of an orphan girl, named Pollyanna, who is sent to live with her aunt after her father’s death. She steps into a house in where she is not welcomed. Her aunt seems to hate her and has a harsh behavior toward her. Pollyanna is not allowed to talk about her father in her aunt’s presence. However, nothing can put her in bad mood. She can always find something to be glad for. Although she is only eleven years old, she starts to change the view of all the people who live around toward life. Pollyanna is always glad, wants to make others glad, as well. She plays a game called Glad Game which soon becomes famous around the small town where she lives.
After reading this book, I adored it so much that wanted to read more books by its author. Miraculously, I found its sequel in a bookstore after just finishing the first book. Although, the sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up, was a good read, it didn’t live up to expectations. Now, I have the collection of all e-books by Eleanor H. Porter. However, Pollyanna stands out among them as one of best classic books for children. Whenever, I’m in a bad mood, I remind myself of Pollyanna, and try to play the Glad Game of hers which proved to be really helpful for me

خوابگرد

خوابگرد - Charlotte Armstrong, ویدا اسلامیه It is one of the best books I have ever read.I was really hooked while reading.I could guess what would happened at the end,but I couldn't put it down.I like the idea of being at the same time in two places.
