Hey y'all! I've decided to change this blog a lil' bit.
Before, it was just my fanfics and stories. But now, it's going to be a bit more. It's going to ALSO include some recommended books and must-reads.
Here it goes:
First of all, the name of this blog: "Reading is Outlawed!?!" comes from this book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Yup, it's a great book. It's about how in the future, society will ban books, and reading will be outlawed. Anyone who is caught with books will be burned (the books, I mean), but sometimes the people choose to be burned as well. So no one is allowed to read. And get this...the ones BURNING the books are FIREMEN. Instead of putting out fires, they are starting them. Wow.
Second, I am currently reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It's about this girl, Kate, who is diagnosed with leukemia, APL, to be exact. She has a younger sister, Anna, whose parents conceived her through a long procedure of choosing the right organs for Kate to have transplants. So, the mother bore Anna, but she was technically "made" because the parents chose the genes. They didn't make her gorgeous or anything, they just chose Anna's genes so that she could be a donor for Kate. However, Anna gets jealous of the attention that Kate always gets so she decides to quit being Kate's donor and SUE HER PARENTS! It's a great book. A must-read, although, many people tend to cry at the end because it's so sad. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm close.
That's all for today. Make sure to check out these great books!
