This book is perfect for anyone that is seeking adventure. This novel takes you through the lives of humans that are fighting to survive an alien invasion.

She is soon found guilty of adultery, her punishment is to where a scarlet letter on her clothes. Showing everyone her sin for as long as she lives. Learn what it was like in 1642 for this young woman and other's who committed adultery by reading this novel.


10. Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

Don't judge just yet, this is actually a very good novel. This is the re-imagined version of Twilight, this novel switches the genders. This novel shows what would have happened if almost all of the characters gender swapped. This is a very interesting take on this love story. In my opinion this is better than Twilight. I hope you do give this novel a chance and enjoy reading it.


All of these novels are amazing and will bring joy into any reader's life. Everyone of these books are unique, every story takes you on a thrilling journey. I hope you enjoy all of the books I have suggested! Have a great time reading!

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
