Evolving Perceptions

About the Author:  source: http://amyewingbooks.com/bio/   Me with the author of the Lone City Trilogy, Amy Ewing.                       Amy Ewing is the young adult author of  The Lone Trilogy. She grew up in a small town outside Boston, where her librarian mother instilled a deep love of reading at a young age. Amy moved to New York City in 2000 to study theater at New York University.

            This month I am trying to read more classical books. I will also be re-reading Pride and Prejudice and The Beautiful and The Damned. In addition, I am currently reading Illuminae and will also be reading the second book. Moving on the following novels I will for the month of November are the following:  1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen  When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. 2. The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert...

1. Shadowland -Meg Cabot There's a hot guy in Susannah Simon's bedroom. Too bad he's a ghost. Suze is a mediator - a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, she sees dead people. And they won't leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn't seem to need her help. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations. But the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it's not that easy. There's a ghost with revenge on her mind... and Suze happens to be in the way. 2.Crushing on Love - Melissa Foster  CRUSHING ON LOVE is a USA TODAY BESTSELLER  The Bradens are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series. .
