My top 3 reading books of 2013



Quame Wright Beckles                My top 3 reading books of 2013                                         803
Did you ever read book that you truly enjoyed reading, so much it became the best books you’ve come to read. Throughout the year of 2013, I have been reading a variety of books. All of the book had great plots, character, and settings. But only a few of the books were considered my favorites. So here are the top books I have read in the year of 2013.

One of the books that I really enjoyed reading in 2013, is titled “And Then there were none,” written by Agatha Christie. The book is about a group of people who have been invited to stay at a mysterious Ulick Norman Owen. He claims to be an old friend to all of them. But that appearance had disappeared when the guest are murdered one by one, which causes them to become suspicious of one another of being the murderer. The reason I like this book is because it has many of the things I look in a book. It has suspense, mystery, and character that feel like actual people. In fact it is the best mystery book I have ever read in life.

Another book that I really liked reading was written by the author named, David Pelzer. The book he wrote was titled “The Lost Boy,” which is the expansion to his memoir “The Child Called It.” I had also read that book as well. “The Lost Boy,” continues to tell reader about the earlier moments of David Pelzer’s life. During the book David is put into foster care because of the harsh treatment he was put through while he was living with his mother and siblings. He talks about the people, and the places he went to when went through the process of becoming a foster kid. Which all lead to the moment where is adopted. But in the end he still misses his family, which causes encounters between them over time. The love this book because David Pelzer really tells his story well. Not only did he continue from the previous memoir perfectly, also made me see his point of view.

The final book I would like to mention, is a book I have recently read. The author’s name is Sydney Lumet. His book titled “Making movies,” explains the process directing film. Readers will see his personal view and opinion on how he directs films himself. From meeting the actors to choosing the right camera and etc. He even talks about what he does not like about making films, he doesn’t say he likes everything. I like the fact he explains every detail.

In conclusion I read a lot of great books in the year of 2013, and some of them can take the place of being some of the most extraordinary literature I ever laid my eyes on. Why. It is because they are interesting, entertaining, and they make me think about the issues and characters they introduce. I hope that  the book I read later on in my life are as captivating.
