Dare 1: Elisa's Top 3 Favourite Books


1. The Fault In Our Stars
By. John Green


John Green made himself to my favorite author (after Tolkien and Rowling, of course) of all the time with this book.
Somehow I found myself ordering this book couple months ago and when this arrives, I read it right away almost to the end. Next day I did read rest of book and cried like a little child, which isn't new to me. I'm overly emotive masochist.
Anyway, this book is beautiful and brilliant and now there's coming movie about this so I recommend to read this immediately before movie comes and ruin whole reading experience like Perks almost made to me. Which brings me to my second fav book..


2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
By. Stephen Chbosky


Stephen Chbosky is guy who made one of my favorite movie's screenplay too; Rent.
This book is moving, exciting and to be honest; I did read almost whole book during my high school classes. The books swallowed me into it's world. I could follow head character Charlie, actually I was in him. Also this book made me cry, middle in my English class.
If you love 80's-90's start, The Smiths, literature about young people, Rocky Horror Picture Show and not sugar coated high school story, you should definitely try this.


3. The Book Thief
By. Markus Zusak


First I was little bit concerned about this, not because outside or idea of the book, but it's size. The book has 558 pages, it's pretty heavy and it's about WWII German so it includes pretty much about Nazis.
But when I started to read, I forgot all concerns and when sky's shade turned to dark gray I had to stop and I saw how much I already did read.
On next day I continued and I read whole book in three days. Again, I did cry a lot. It was embarrassing again because my dad sat front of me and I tried to hide my tears so I went to inside the house.
This is classic, so everyone should read this. It fits to every age.
Interesting makes of this book that story teller is Death himself. Metaphors are beautiful and cruelty of Nazis to Jews is heartbreaking.


I hope you find inspiration from these and tell me your opinion about these books if you have read any of these too. Would be nice chat about my favorite books, because yeah, I pretty much love all books I've read. And please, recommend to me something if you know about similar style books. Or whatever you love!
