July book overviews

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
I loved this book and can't wait to read the rest of the series. It's not your typical zombie story. There is a town surrounded by a fence to keep out the unconsecrated (zombies) who are in the forest. They are told that there is nothing beyond the fence. But Mary has heard stories passed down through generations and longs to see what's beyond the fence and make it to the ocean. When their town is breached her and a group from the town find out what's beyond the fence and in the forest.

Melody Burning by Whitley Strieber
A girl feels lost in her fame meets a boy with no past. They help each other through some tuff stuff and a scary situation which  makes them closer then ever in the end.

Girl Walks into a Bar...by Rachel Dartch
 Rachel talks about her start in comedy, getting on SNL and what happened to her after. She talks about how right from the start she was type cast and couldn't not break that hold.

The Kulak's Daughter/ The Red Stone by Gabriele Goldstone
This book is a 12+ so it's obviously an easy read but it has some really good history in it. It gives you an inside view of what the Soviet Union was like in the 1930's. It's based on a true story and it's a very sad and touching one. The hardships they endure as a family along the way are unbelievable. Finished it one sitting.

The Pink Hotel by Anna Stothard
When her mother she never met dies. She jumps on a plane from London to LA. She attends the wake and in the process manages to steal a suit cause with some of her mothers belongings. She continues on meeting the people who were in her mothers life piecing together who her mother is and who she is her self along the way.

I Hate My Selfie by Shane Dawson
This book is a collection of short stories. It's funny just like his videos but it gives you some onsite into his life somewhat. If you like his YouTube videos you will like this book.
