1. "I was raised to marry a monster".

This is the first line of Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge. This is a dark retelling of beauty and the beast. It took me such a long time to rate this book. After I read it I thought it was an okay read. But this book remained on my mind for so long that I raised my rating to a 4 out of 5 stars.

2. "Today was the day a thousand dreams would die and a single dream would be born."

This is the first line of The Kiss of Deception by Marry E. Pearson. This was one of my favorite books from 2014. I should read the next books! why haven't I yet? There is so little time and so many books. The 3th book came out 2 weeks a go. So I really don´t have any excuse. It is about a princes how is forced to marry someone she doesn't know. So logically she runs away on her wedding day. She flees to this small town and become a waiters. Two strangers come in town one is the prince she was suppose to marry and one is a assassin sent to kill her. This is a must read!   

3. "I´ve been locked up for 264 days."

This is the first sentence of Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. Again a series that I haven´t finished. I should get to it...... eventually. Wow we keep coming back to series that I should finish. Maybe a topic for another time.  I read this in my dystopian phase. Liked it, wasn't blow away by it. It´s about a girl that kills people when she touches them. I heard it gets even better so I should check the rest out. And look at this cover BEAUTIFUL.

4. "It has been sixty-four years since the president and the consortium identified love as a disease, and forty-tree since scientists perfected a cure."

That is the first line of Delirium by Lauren Oliver. This is again a book that I read in 2014 in my dystopian phase. This book is about a future where love is seen as a disease, and people are better without it. People get something (yes I know I am very specific :P, It´s been a long time since I read this book, sorry) put in there brain to prevent people from care about other people. It is not a world I would like to live in. And also a series that I haven´t finished. I don´t know if I want to. Are the next books better? Let me know. 

5. "Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death."

This is the first sentence of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I don't think I need to explain this book because everyone and there mother has read this book. And if you haven't yet just pick it up, this book is great. I really needed to get used to John Greens writhing style. He uses words that I sometimes don't know. English is not my first language, so my vocabulary isn't that big. I learned a lot of new words while reading this book. The last half of this book had me sobbing like a baby. I definitely recommend this book.
