Heaven Looks a lot Like the Mall by Wendy Mass

This book is about a girl who falls into a coma because she gets severely hurt, and basically she goes in and out of a dream, or heaven. But she doesn't end up in a stereotypical heaven with a gate and angels and meeting people who died already, but she ends up at the mall. Her mom works at the mall, so she knows every part of it. She meets a boy, and they become friends, he was also in a coma. So the girl falls in and out of the coma, and the book has a happy ending. This was a pretty good book, and it was a pretty quick read. It is written in poetry format, which wasn't my favorite, but I still recommend this book. It doesn't really have any mature topics.

We are all Made of Molecules by Susin Nielsen

This book is from the perspectives of 2 people, a 14 year old girl named Ashley and a 13 year old boy named Stewart. Ashley was pretty much the most popular girl in school, and out of school she didn't really like her life. Her mom and dad were divorced, and even though Ashley lives with her mom, her dad visits sometimes because her mom and dad are friends. Ashley has a big secret she is hiding from all her friends, knowing it will effect how popular she is. Her life is 'ok' until Stewart and his dad move in. Ashley's mom and Stewarts dad were planning on getting married, so they decided to live together. Stewart is considered a genius and is so smart he starts to go to Ashley's high school, which Ashley doesn't like. Because Ashley is so popular, she is pretty mean too, which effects Stewart a lot. Many different events occur throughout the book, but I don't want to give them away. This was a really good book, so I highly recommend it. It covers some mature topics though, and a little bit of language, but I think that it wasn't too bad. This was a really quick read even though it is around 256 pages. This is a realistic fiction book.

I think for genres for book groups it would be cool to have realistic fiction books.

Poem about Candy

There once was a piece of candy,
Eating it would be very dandy.
But since we were a group of four,
And candy there was no more,
Having one piece of candy wasn't handy.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan

This book is about a boy named Will Grayson, who is going through a lot of stuff in life. His best friend, Tiny, is making a musical of his life, forcing Will to be in it. One weird evening, Will Grayson meets another Will Grayson, and they become good friends. At 16, Will goes through a lot of changes. This was a really confusing book, because there are two Will Graysons and other people, but I was confused about who was who. This book talks a lot about being gay, and a lot of cussing, but I think it was a pretty good book, besides it being confusing. I think that this book could be for anyone who is okay with the mature topics in this book, and not making sense at some parts.
My reading goals for 2016 are to read more genres of books, like more non-fiction, sic-fi, and others.
