Reading Wishlist

Over the course of the next few months or so, I hope to finish 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs as well as Bossypants by Tina Fey and The Wolf of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort.  I just recently bought 13 Reasons Why and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children this past weekend, and have already read a few pages of Thirteen Reasons Why.  

13 Reasons Why: 13 Reasons Why is about a girl named Hannah who commits suicide.  She leaves tapes saying why she did it to people she was related to or friends with and that will tell them her 13 reasons why she committed suicide.  I think that I will like this book because it is a bit of a mystery and is also realistic fiction which I enjoy.  Hopefully the reviews I read were correct and the story is quite good and realistic.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a interesting book about superhuman children who live under the care of Miss Peregrine.  It is essentially an orphanage for children who are extraordinary.  I think I will like this book because it has elements of the supernatural genre and is known for being a strange story, and both things appeal to me.  I think this will be a good read and I will probably end up recommending it to people I know.
Gone Girl: Over the course of this class, I have heard a lot about this book.  I didn't even know it existed before, but now, based off of things I have heard, I think that I will really like the book.  I have heard a series of rumors about what happens to the main character, Amy, and I want to clear up all the conspiracies that I have heard.
Bossypants: I have just recently heard of this book from this class, and I think that I would like it.  I think humor is a good lightening genre, and I think that I would really like the book.  I have hard a lot of positive reviews for it so hopefully it will live up to its expectation.

The Wolf of Wall Street: I have heard quite a lot about this book and I think that I will probably read it sometime in the future.  I have heard that it's a good book, but that it has a lot of vulgar language and inappropriate scenes, which I have heard from juniors and seniors, so maybe I'll wait until college to read this book.  But it is still a book I want to read and I think that I would like it a lot when I get older based off the scene reenactment I saw in class.
