Out of Comfort Zone

For my out of comfort zone book I read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. Rachel, always fantasized about the perfect couple she watched from the train. Jason and Jess. They seem perfect until she meddles her way into the situation of Jess going missing and realizes they arent exactly what they seem to be.This book was a thrill-seeker and a must-read.

Stepping out of my comfort zone and reading The Girl on the Train was hard for me. Paula Hawkins is the author of this book and it was number one the best sellers list for a few weeks. Before I started reading this book I was nervous I would not like it or have a hard time getting through it. In the end, It took me a little longer to get into it but once I did, I finished it rather quickly. It was out of comfort for me because it was suspenseful and kind of a mystery. I normally read romance novels so this was a bit different for me. Personally, I really enjoyed this novel. I thought by reading a book out of my comfort zone i was ale to expand my horizon and I might want to read more like this.

Orphan Train Impression

Orphan Train written by Christina Baker Kline is about a teenage girl Molly who has to do 50 hours of community service to avoid going to juvie. Molly's community service takes place in an old woman, named Vivian's house. Molly is going to help her clean and organize her attic. At first, Molly is a really negative person and is dreading her community service and everything about going to Vivians. Mollys community service turns into much more than just helping some old woman. She ends up learning a lot about Vivians life and how they have gone through similar things. In the end, Molly ends up helping Vivian reunite with her family. Although, I didnt really enjoy reading this book I felt that this novel was actually very-well written and I found it very interesting. What I did enjoy about this book is how Christina Baker Kline included flashbacks from Vivians childhood to really capture the mood of all the different aspects of each character being portrayed.
