Hello! I am back.

So for months I have been fighting to log back in. I changed schools and it kept trying to sign me in to my school stuff and wouldn't let me sign in. With school I have been so busy that I have not had time to read. However, I have read so many books I want to tell you all about that its not to bad.
Now that I can log back in its back to blogging. I really would like to find a way to get more followers though.
Anyhey. Point is I am back people!

Love Unlisted by Stephanie Haddad

So I downloaded Love Unlisted for free on Kindle because I had read a Stepanine Haddad book before and thought it was a quick easy read. Nothing to fancy but cute none the less. This one however was not up to snuff. It starts off well enough where were meet our main character Grace. Grace is a bit of an odd ball because she has lists. I mean lists for EVERYTHING. Pro/con lists to be exact. From why she shouldn't drink anymore to the perfect boyfriend. Because of these list she has almost lost her best friend and did lose her first love.
  This story is just about a girl who is still dealing with the fact her dad died out of know where when she was just 12. Add to the list that her mom makes her feel unwanted and not part of the family this girl has some issues. Of course you have to have the guy who helps change her. This is where Colin comes in to play. Hes a good guy with and even bigger heart. I just have a few issues with the book. First off I don't like how its just explained to the reader how the list thing even started. I think Colin should know too. I also want to know why Colin makes such a big deal about Grace knowing where he works. This book was a fast read but I felt she rushed it towards the end not really giving the characters a chance to come together properly.
Because of this

I need your help

     Hi to the who ever reads this. I need your help. I went away to this thing called faerieworlds (which is my happy place). I met this author who found out I blog. She is more then willing to hook me up with some books to get more people out there to read her stuff. The problem being is I need more followers before I can ask her to do something like this. So here is my challenge to you. Help me get more followers. Once I get to 25 followers I will do a book give away. Then once I get up to 50 followers I will do another give away and talk to her about hooking us all up for her books to do a give away. What do you think? You up for the challenge? I know this can take months but I will stand by my promise if you can keep up your end of the deal.


 (Books to be given away will be determined when goal is met)

Take Me There by Susane Colasanti

First off sorry for slacking on the book reviews but would you believe I have not gotten to read a book all summer? Seriously summer school sucks! Okay now that is out of my system. I have had a stack of books from the Library that is way over due and wanted to read at least one of them before I returned them. So out of my stack I chose Take Me There. 
     This book is broken up in three different point of views. Rhiannon, Nicole and James are all friends. Each of them have seem to have a problem that they are going through.

   Rhiannon has just been dumped by her first real boyfriend and she is heartbroken. Reading her thoughts and how she handled the break up remind me of when my high school boyfriend broke up with me. She handles it as any young teenage girl does. With denial, questions and wondering how/when the pain will end. 
      
       Nicole is Rhiannon's best girlfriend. This girl has her own sense of style and has a total artist soul. She is the opposite of Rhiannon. Where Rhiannon is so organized you can chalk it up to OCD, Nicole can't even keep track of her ipod charger cord. She broke up with her boyfriend Danny and no one knows exactly why. Let alone Danny who is still head over heels for her. She has a huge crush on her Math teacher that no one knows about and there is something about her past that she wont tell anyone. Even her best friend. 

    James is your typical guy who is dense to his own feelings. Where girls he goes out with can see he is madly in love with Rhiannon it takes him a bit to get there on his own. Super computer smart and a little geeky he makes the perfect best guy friend for Rhiannon. They click well even if they both don't realize it yet. 

The cool thing about this book is its only in the time span of a few short days but you get to see things from all three points of view. Its not confusing how she goes about it. Its even labeled in each chapter who it is and what day it is to help you out. This book brings me back to my high school years and not in a bad way. Its realistic I think how everyone handles things and the way they all band together to get the mean girl. I think this would make a cute movie actually. 

  So if your looking for a quick simple read that brings you back to school. This is a good book to do that

grade is  B plus

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver (book 2)

     

     Have you ever had a book that your read and it gets your pulse racing. When you finish it your whole body is full of the extra energy that you have no idea what to do with? All the while screaming at the fact you can't read the next book in till MARCH 2013!! No, seriously I have to wait till then for Requiem to come out.

  Delirium is the first book of this series. If you have not read it, well I recommend you do. It's a great book about how love is a sickness. How scientist have found a cure for it. Here is the Goodreads synopsis of it. Go head. Click on the link. Sounds interesting right? Now go click on Delirium and get the book. I can wait................
Was pretty good, huh? Okay well now you are caught up and ready to read about Pandemonium. If you haven't read it yet then do not read anymore. I'm not joking because just below this will be a BIG spoiler for the first book. Just a fair warning.



    We find Lena in class sleeping and dreaming about her past. Were she tells us in short burst how she made it in the Wild. The story goes back and forth from the present to the past. I really enjoyed this because it kept me wanting to know more of what was going to happen. Poor Lena is still trying to deal with the fact that Alex is dead. My heart just aches for her because not only has she lost her love but the whole reason for leaving was because of him. Now she has to start this new life with out him. There are times in the book where Lena is ready to give up. I honestly don't blame her. No matter what she does Alex is in the back of her mind.

  Then comes in Raven who rescues Lena and nurses her back to heath when she finds her dying in the Wild. Raven is a tough young girl in her early 20's.She seems to be the ringleader of the Invalids. Not all the Invalids mind you. Just a small little group of them. She also seems to be the one to name people their new names once they come to the Wild and shed their old lives. There is a whole slew of characters that I enjoyed getting to know. Tank, Blue, Coin, Rat-man, Sarah and then there is Julian. Sweet Julian who is the martyr for the "cure." Who's own father is willing to risk his life for the sake of the cause. I really like Julian. As I learn about how evil his father is, I just feel for the poor guy. I even feel for him when he starts to fall for our girl Lena. Which is not the best idea since she is still trying to heal from Alex. Who knows? Maybe these two love birds can make it.

  All I can say about the ending is wkohowehfoiewjrifwjeiofjewjfjerkjeiwjriewjfjweio!!!!! The ending is what got me all keyed up in the first place to write this blog. I mean I kind of knew what was going to happen but I will be honest with you. I cheated. I was on the last two pages. *says in a very small voice* I looked at the bottom of the last page before I finished reading the second to last page. *looks away sheepishly*

So now that is out in the open I would love to hear what you think about it.

I'm giving this book a big fat A!

Two Lines: A Novella

Two Lines A Novella is a short story by Melissa Marr. Eavan lives her life by following two very simple rules. Don't kill anyone and don't have sex. Doing both of these things in the same month will lead her to turn into a Glaistig. The very last thing Eve wants. As Melissa draws us in to Eve's world I can't help but get a little confused. Eve is hunting down a mysterious man who is drugging women. I never did figure out why she started hunting him down in the first place or if she hunted other people down before. This short story seemed a little hard to follow with everything. Once you get half way through it starts to flow better. Its a quick easy read for a cheap price.

e-books

I don't know how you feel about reading e-books. In all honestly I have been against it for years. There is something about having the book in your hand. Seeing the beautiful cover of the book. Being able to loan the book to someone. Even the smell of a book that an e-book can not replace. I also fear that with e-books the printed word is going to up and die away. That generations from now will look at books in awe. 
My main reason for finally giving in to getting one is the fact that there were short stories by authors I love that I could not read unless I gave in to this new founded thing. I blame Melissa Marr actually for the whole thing. She has short stories for the Wicked Lovely series that I really wanted to read. So I downloaded the kindle application for my phone. The problem with this though is I am a semi fast reader so I felt like I spent more time touching my phone to flip the page then actually reading. So yes, I ended up getting a kindle. Which I do love. I will not stop buying books as I love going to used book stores and finding new reads. The whole purpose of this little story is that if you do have a kindle, Amazon has a great thing of 100 books for $3.99 or less. They change it every month so this is your friendly reminder to have a look at it. 
Well that is all. I will have a new review of a short story by Melissa Marr just because it seem apropos with this. Amazon's deals
