The Stand by Stephen King

I am on page 21. So far there are two separate stories going on. There is a group of men in a small town who have just witnessed a car crash into a gas station. Upon viewing the passengers discovered they were in a sense rotting. The second story revolves around a young couple who just found out they're expecting. So far, and I know I haven't gotten that into it, it is a really good story. The dialog is incredible, it's the kind that makes you feel as if you are witnessing a conversation in real life. That's something else that's great and somewhat terrifying. Since the story lines are so realistic, when it comes time to all the horrific things that are bound to happen (which I know they are, I read up on this book before hand and I mean come on, It's Stephen King) I am going to shit my pants.  

Divergent by Veronica Roth

This is a pretty interesting story so far. It's based in a dystopian future, Where everyone is separated into different fractions based on what they think would make the world a better place and bring peace. When you are 16, I believe it is, you take a required test to see which group you would fit best in. Although this doesn't really matter because you still retain the right to choose for yourself. Thus far the main character, Tris, has decided to leave her family's fraction, one that believes in modesty and kindness, for one that represents strength and bravery. But choosing does not automatically promise you a place there, first you must survive initiation. 

DARK WORLD:into the shadows with the lead investigator of the ghost adventures crew by Zac Bagans and Kelly Crigger 

I am in the third chapter I believe. I think this is meant to be an autobiography of some sort because the book is told as if Zac Bagans is talking directly to you, telling you about his life and his experiences. I have read of the creature that visited him as a child and the ghost that haunted his first apartment. I also learned that his parents are divorced and that he took classes for film making. This is why when he discovered he could put his love of film making and super natural together and make something out of it. So with his friends Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin they filmed a paranormal experience and entered it int a film competition and won, the rest is history.
