102 books down, 132 days to go!

Hey All!  102 books down, 132 days to go!  That's right, we've hit 100!!  Yay!
I finished Pretty Dead, about a girl who is a vampire who doesn't want to be one though her "boyfriend" does (that's basically it- hated it), Eclipse, and Willow.  I'm only going to go into the details of Willow because I liked this book a lot.  
Willow as about a girl (Willow) who killed her parents in a car crash 8 months ago.  To deal with the mind and body shocking, numbing, excruciating pain Willow has to dig blades into her arms, legs, and sometimes even her stomach.  But when Willow meets Guy, a rather attractive, sensitive, lovably kind boy, she freaks.  She likes him immediatly, though she is stuck without much to do.  Willow sees here brother (who she lives with), David's, pain.  She can't tell him her cutting secret, and when Guy finds out, shes stuck again.  Willow is in the emotional shock that came from killing her parents, and she can't seem to interact with other humans very well.  ***SPOILER ALERT**** Willow and Guy become more than just friends, Willow saves David and hers relationship, and finds out a lot about herself, though she doesn't quit cutting for all we know.  Minorly inappropriate in a couple parts, this book is a slightly mature, yet great read.  
Thanks for stopping by!


Love, Elizabeth

  1. YAY!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE CENTURY MARK, THE HALFWAY POINT, ON YOUR UNFLAGGING ENTHUSIASM!

    I love visiting your blog. My mind has been truly enlightened by the trivia with every review. Wow, 69 years with hiccups. Now that would make a good book plot. ;-)

    P.S. Now here's the damp rag: Do the Twilight books count if Zoe has already read them?
