Hello! I know, my second post in the very same day! I just-- 

Okay, anyways I dub thee a series *holds up magical septor of power*. This series will be my book series! I just love books a lot guys... 

These BookNook posts will be book/or author recommendations. Exciting day for fans of books. Are you guys prepared? Are you? Are you really...? 

Memoirs/Autobiographies-

1) Memoirs of a Geisha By Arthur Golden:

This book was absolutely phenomenal! Mr.Golden created an entirely believable character with a tremendous backstory. Probably, my favorite book and movie. This book has some mature content, I will not lie. This book tells of a young girl's life named Chiyo she came from nothing, in an incredibly small town. There is something unusual about her though, that would be her eyes, she was Japanese but instead of the standard brown eyes she had striking grey/blue eyes. Her family isn't doing so good, especially with the low income her dad has especially at this point in Chiyo's young life with her mom being sick. Her dad sells both his daughters off, just so they could maybe make more money. Chiyo gets sold to the Geisha house while her sister--who's not so lucky--gets the shorter end of the stick is sent off elsewhere. Chiyo grows up without her family, in a Geisha house. Flash years ahead, Chiyo is making her ancestors proud, being the most popular Geisha of her time. But this doesn't mean she didn't make enemies along the way. This book has so much to it! Her transformation throughout her years is unbelievable! 

Rate: 10/10

2) John Barowman- Anything goes with Carole E. Barrowman: 

This man is amazing! John tells you of his life through utter sass and hilarity. If you know of him, you must read this! And if you already have I applaud you:) And if you don't know who he is, then give it a shot! I do apologize as I don't have much to say about it. 

Rate: 9/10

Fantasy-ish Books-

1) The Hobbit By J.R.R. Tolkien:

This book was fantastic and brilliantly written! JRR Tolkien has such an excellent narrator "voice" throughout this book! There is so much detail, I would spend hours pouring over this book, when in truth it felt as it were only 30 minutes. He drags you into this phenomenal world and doesn't let you back out. Not gonna lie there were some parts that made me cry-- but, HEY! It's a good book! I just wish it never ended though. Sorry, but I'm too lazy to write a summary, just read it, you won't regret it.

Rate: 10/10 A+++ 

Fiction(?)-

1) Looking for Alaska By: John Green:

This book will leave you smiling and teary-eyed. John Green shows a fantastic character development and shows you that in almost any given situation you will learn and grow from it. Sure, some parts weren't so hot and I had to stop reading it for a few days but he wraps it up in a way that is legendary. You must read this book!

Rate: 9.8/10
