         I am a proud book worm! One of my favorite times of day is right before bed when me and the hubby settle down and we read. Sometimes he'll read to me till I drift of the dream land. It is so relaxing to cuddle up with my man, my hot cup of tea, and a good read. A love for reading comes from both sides of our family. On my side of the family is my mother who can finish any book in less then a week! On my hubby side of the family his father and step mom are the book worms. Their living room is books from wall to wall! When my hubby was younger he would get a dollar every time he finished a book. When I was younger I had a much harder time reading. I have dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning disorder where words and numbers get all jumbled up. Dyslexia didn't get me down! I still kept reading because I loved it so much. I have come across some great read so I wanted to share them with ya'll! If you have a favorite book or auther let me know in the comments!

1. Paranoid Park by Blake Nelson :PARANOID PARK is a dark and intense psychological thriller of a novel that puts a normal teen in a very difficult situation.
   
   Written as a confessional letter, it starts after a fateful night at a Portland, Oregon skatepark known as "Paranoid Park." Paranoid is "an underground 'street' park, which means there are no rules, nobody owns it, and you don't have to play to skate." But Paranoid is also "kind of a street-kid hangout. There's all these stories, like how a skinhead got stabbed there on ce. That's why it's called Paranoid Park. It has a dangerous, sketchy vibe to it."
   
   After going to Paranoid Park with his older friend Jared, the narrator (who remains unnamed throughout the book) is enthralled by the experience. Skating at Paranoid meant you were in the "big leagues." The boys planned to return to the skatepark together that weekend, but plans changed when a college girl invited Jared to a party. Still lured by the thrillride of Paranoid, the narrator returns on his own.
   
   At the park, the narrator finds himself hanging out with a "streeter" named Scratch and a bunch of other street-kid types. Scratch tells stories about how he lived up and down the West Coast, hopping trains and living in bus stations. Somehow, our "prep" narrator gets talked into hopping a local train with Scratch and the evening turns into even more of an adventure. The fun stops abruptly when a security guard gets thrown in the mix and a teenage adventure becomes the cause of a crime.
   
   With a dead body and no witnesses, the narrator is paralyzed with fear. What should he do? Who will he tell? Will anyone believe him that this truly was an accident? Trapped by his own paranoia and the possible consequences of one night on the rest of his life, the narrator spends the remainder of the novel in a CRIME AND PUNISHMENT-like dilemma.
2. Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen: Halley was named for her grandmother, who was named for the comet. Scarlett, across the street, was named for you-know-who. Both are "onlies," just turning sixteen, and have been best friends, almost-sisters since they were eleven. Then Michael, the boy to whom Scarlett lost her virginity only the night before, is killed in a car wreck and -- you guessed it -- she's pregnant. Her mother also had gotten pregnant in high school and (fortunately for Scarlett) had kept the baby, and now she decides to do the same. Meanwhile, Halley is getting more and more involved with Macon, Michael's dangerous buddy, who wants more than she's ultimately willing to give. The nine months of Scarlett's pregnancy is the backdrop for a very well-written story about love and sex and real friendship and dealing with parents. And the final scene, in the hospital waiting room, is very cinematic.
