This weekend, I am hiding from a cold snap here in Manitoba, so figured I would give a list of suggestions of book series to read if you are hiding from the weather like I am.
If you like sci-fi or fantasy you could try:
- Midnighters - a fantasy trilogy where a group of teenagers experience an extra hour and a different world at midnight
- Uglies series - a dystopian fantasy series, where at the age of 16 everyone is given an extreme makeover to turn Pretty, only there are now people struggling against the change
- The Hunger Games - The trilogy makes for a great weekend read
- Peeps and the Last Days - the twist on a classic vampire story will have readers interested and engaged
If you like human interest you could try:
- Lurlene McDaniel books - These books are great stories of dealing with struggle and hardship
- Airhead trilogy - This set looks at our focus on beauty, consumerism and perfection, and tosses in some fun
- 1-800-Where-R-You - Jess is not your average girl, she talks with her fists more often then most, wants a motorcycle not a prom dress and she is perfectly happy not being the best in band, and her life takes an even more interesting turn after she is struck by lightning
- Med Center - These books are older, but they tell a compelling story of a teaching hospital and the struggles faced by the staff and volunteers
If you like mysteries you could try:
- Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys - These novels are a little more grown up than when the characters work as individuals, and the danger the sleuths get into tends to be more intense
- Hear No Evil - A deaf sleuth deals with mysteries in her life and that of her brother, a police detective
These are all shorter series that make for a great weekend read.
Happy reading, and stay warm.
