College has surprisingly kept me very busy and away from reading. I finally got away from school work, socializing, and etc to sit down and read this weekend. I’d gotten I AM NUMBER FOUR from the library last week and finally had time to read it. I am not a die-hard science fiction fan, but I really wanted to explore the genre. I loved the summary of this book so I was very excited to read it.
Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real.
Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. we have lived among you without you knowing.
But they know.
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They killed them all.I am Number Four.
I am next. – GoodReads

What’s next on my to-read list for the upcoming week. To make my to-read list a little more interesting and varied, each of the three books must fall under a certain category:
Young at Heart – Young adult novel.
- Young at Heart – The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. Borrowed from the NYPL ebook library. Finally! Been waiting to get this forever.
- Not Your Sister’s Book – Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord by Sarah MacLean. From NetGalley. I did not get around to it last week so it is on this week’s list again.
- Market Fresh – Trickster’s Girl by Hilari Bell. Thanks to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt from NetGalley for letting me review!
