Synopsis So Far:  Logan, a U.S. Marine, and his dog, Zeus, have walked from Colorado to North Carolina to find the woman in a picture he found while serving in Iraq. When he first meets Elizabeth, she makes it clear she doesn't particularly like him. Ben, her son, and Nana, the grandmother, warm up to him quickly. Nana had suffered a stroke and has needed help working their kennel. He takes the job and excels at it. Slowly, Elizabeth takes a liking to Logan. At this point in the book, they are dating. Elizibeth's ex, Clayton, doesn't like this and is in the process of ruining yet another relationship of hers. 

What I Don’t Like: I don't like her ex, but we need the antagonist to make the story flow. Also, in my opinion, it started a little slow, but it quickly picked up pace. I'm not a huge fan of the flash backs, but they all tie into the current story.

What I Do Like: I just love it. Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author and I've never been disappointed in a book of his. The characters in this book, like always, are easy to identify with. The story flows and pulls you in. He makes you feel things. Anger, sadness, happiness, all of the feels. 

Synopsis: Cassia meets up with Ky and they keep traveling to find the Rebellion. Cassia learns more about Ky, which helps and hurts their relationship. When they finally get to the Rebellion, they are slit up. Cassia is sent to the Society and Ky is assigned pilot. 

 What I liked: We were able to learn more about Ky and Cassia. That their relationship was tried, but they're still together.

What I didn’t like: That they were split up. 

Synopsis So Far: The book goes back and forth between Ky's point of view and Cassia's. Personally, I prefer Ky's point of view, but that's neither here nor there. We start the book continuing from the first. Ky is at the other territory, working as a decoy. Cassia is going from work site to work site because of her "bad behavior." She is actually looking for Ky. Ky finally decides to escape to search for Cassia. Ironically, as soon as Ky leaves, Cassia shows up. She soon takes the same path Ky took. She is currently searching for him and getting sick. ...Keep following for more... 

What I Don’t Like: That it's going to end soon. Really, there isn't anything to complain about.  

What I Do Like: I like that we're getting to know more about Ky and his past. I like that they're going after what they love -- each other. 

Synopsis thus far: We come in around the time Ender gets his monitor off, he is six years old here. We are then introduced to his bully at school, Stilson. Ender is forced to stand up for himself, causing much harm to Stilson. We then meet Valentine and Peter, Ender's siblings. Val and Ender are very close to each other. Peter is unkind to Ender, and fights with him often. Ender is a third in his family (the third child) and is hated by Peter for it. The following morning, the I.F. come to take Ender to Battle School, they've decided he is the one they're looking for. Ender is then tossed from group to group, making friends and enemies along the way. He is now viewed highly among his peers, though he is only at the age of nine. Back home, Val and Peter are using fake names online to get people's attention in hopes to stop the war. 

What I like thus far: The book keeps you entertained and turning pages. The writing is well detailed and it is quite humorous at times. 

What I don't like: Some of the insults are very childish, but I have to remind myself, they are children. There are some metal pictures that have been a little disturbing, but nothing that has made me want to stop reading.
