Cora's Corner: Holocaust Remembrance Week: Conclusion (Days 7 and 8)

Sunday, May 8, 2011

Never again ... that was what people decided. Never again.

Never another holocaust, never another genocide.

Never.

But ... it did happen again.

Again and again and again.

Never forget.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Harry Potter- the books, the movies, the world- and basically all of the franchise
Leverage, Bones, Lie to Me, and Castle
The Vlogbrothers and Nerdfighteria xD DFTBA!
Hunger Games- the AMAZING trilogy
Maximum Ride- the EPIC books!!!
Divergent- a SPECTACULAR dystopian novel ... I absolutely TORE through this book.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho- A really thought-provoking, beautifully written book about life
Night by Elie Wiesel- A heart-wrenching, emotional, nonfiction account of the Holocaust written by a survivor with a lesson that will remain with you forever.
The Giver by Lois Lowry- An AMAZING dystopia sci-fi novel
I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak- This was a MARVELOUS book, with SO much meaning to it, it's incredible. It gives you an impossible-to-put-down storyline, and it also teaches you a very important, inspirational message about life. It's a perfect blend of mystery, romance, and realistic fiction. BRILLIANT! I read it in a day. :)
The Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride- I was completely attached to it, and there was absolutely no way anyone could tear me away from it. The characters are real, the plot is catchy, and I felt like I was actually in the story- and reading it was such an exhilarating experience!
Animal Farm by George Orwell- a brilliant dystopian novel.
Distant Waves by Suzanne Weyn- An elegant Titanic romance
Blue Aspen by Tenaya Jayne- A beautiful combination of fantasy, awesomeness, and romance.
