The Five people You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom will forever remain one of my favorite books. It was brought to my attention my freshman year of college. Our First Year Symposium teacher put it as part of our reading list. This was the same class where Cassie and I came to be friends in (one of the many ways we were brought together). This book is a story of an older man, Eddie, on his 83rd birthday. He works at an amusement park, and on his birthday this year he is going to die in his attempt to save a little girls life. When he dies, he goes through a process of meeting five different people. Each person shed light on different events or aspects in his life.

I can't stress enough how wonderful this book is. All of his books are very insightful, but this one is my favorite.

Without a doubt, I love princesses. Like, love them.
So, in the wake of reading The Hunger Games, I found this book, which combines the mentality of competition through districts with royalty. What more could a girl ask for?

This book is lovely and has a compelling story line of a girl named America who dutifully, although a bit hatefully, enters The Selection but wants nothing to do with being selected as the future queen. Of course, the fact that she's secretly in a loving relationship with a boy in a class below her doesn't help the situation either when she is selected as a "contestant."

The Selection is book one in the series. You can read the novella before this called The Prince and book two called The Elite.
