I chose "A Long Way Home" over the other books because my dad was in Sierra Leone when a lot the events in the book were going on. Ive heard many stories about the war and I want to hear more about it from a different perspective.
I chose "The Rules of Survival" by Nancy Werlin because the theme of self-reliance and the nature of evil seemed very unique. I was interested to find out how Werlin would create a heart-wreching struggle into rules for survival. I had never read a novel of this kind before, and the topic seemed very interesting.
I chose "Luxe" because the plot seemed like a typical teenage fiction book. It sounded more interesting than the usual teenage fiction book such as "Gossip girl"or the "It girl" since this story plot is taken place in another time and century. Knowing that, it was more appealing to me. I wanted to know what teen life was like during the 19th century.
