Books for a must read

Okay today's post will be totally about books.

Dis' must reads:
Tomorrow When the War Began
by John Marsden
This wonderful book about a group of teens whose country gets invaded while they are on a camping trip. They come back to find everyone is locked up at a county fair grounds. This entire series is one of my favorites, especially A killing frost. Its got 7 books in it and he came out with a new series about the main character too called the ellie chronicles.

Working on the edge
By Spike Walker
An autobiography of working as a crab fisherman in Alaska's King Crab Fleet in its hay-day in the late 70's early 80's. This book will keep you turning the pages constantly seriously i could not put it down and ended up reading it in a night.

Time Bandit: Two Brothers the Bering sea and one of the Worlds Deadliest Jobs
By Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand
This is a great book that gives amazing insight into the lives and difficulties facing boat owners who fish for the worlds deadliest dinner alaskan crab. The men of the time bandit hold nothing back about relationships mistakes made throughout their lives and are candid about their faults. Another book i read in one night.

Winter of Fire
Sherryl Jordan
P.S. If anyone finds a copy of this hold on to it for dear life or let me know cause i'm still trying to find one that is in good condition.

This book starts off strong it tells the story of a young lady who is in slavery when she tries to celebrate her birthday she is punished for this and has little hope of living until by chance she is taken to the ruler of the higher class and made his hand maid. It is a great story of triumph over slavery and while it is fiction it says a lot about society.
