The Best Books I've Ever Read

1.  A Tale of Two Cities - This is my favorite book of all time! While I have only read it in the past year, nothing has topped it yet. Every word is perfectly placed, the timing is perfect for everything, suspense gives it a nice twist. I am so enthusiastic about this book and recommend it to everyone.
2. Water for Elephants - While the book was shorter than I would have liked, it was the best read I had had in a long time.  The author expressed emotion effortlessly. 
3. The Last Song - Even though the movie gives it a horrible reputation, The Last Song is so heartfelt and true that I couldn't put it down. 
4. Everything Poops- I thought this book was absolutely hysterical when I was little and I will never forget it.
5. The Jason and Azazel series - This is actually a set of five books. The writing isn't as strong as the other books on my list, but the meaning was really strong for me. The books made me think about and question what is right and what is wrong. I read the books after I lost someone important to me and they helped me make it though it. 
6. The Series of Unfortunate Events - These are the books that got me interested in reading when i was younger. I read them in about 3rd grade and didn't put them down until I finished the series. I am so thankful that I started the first one because I don't think I would be as enthusiastic about reading today if it wasn't for this series. 
7. If I stay - I don't even know who the author is, but this is one of the most influential books I've ever read. This novel made me realize how important family really is an also made me question some of my beliefs. I strongly recommend it.
