Hey All! Wow! I was given permission by my mom (finally!) to read the twilight series. I read Twilight and New Moon. So, I guess you all know what happens in these. Bella falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen, when she moves to Forks to be with her Dad and befriends Edward's vamp family. She also almost gets herself killed in the process of being with him and gets bit by a vamp but not long enough for her to be drained and die, or turn into a vamp. And in the second book, her friend Jacob turns out to be one of the vampires' mortal enemies, a werewolf. In the second, Edward leaves Bella "for her safety" and Bella goes insane without him and does the most reckless things she can possibly think of (motorcycling, cliff diving, etc.) because she hallucinates Edward warning her to be safe. Bella is a wreck, loses her friends (except for Jacob of course), and can't sleep without the nightmares breaking into her head. But Jake seems to warm her and save her from herself, so Bella spends a lot of time with him and in return Jacob falls in love with her. Ouch. Also, when Bella cliff dives, Edwards "sister" (and Bella's Best Friend) sees her future - that's her special vamp power, Edwards is mind reading- and thinks she just jumping off a cliff to kill herself. Word spreads to Edward, who fled to Italy, and Edward decides to go to the Vulturi (the royal "rulers" that inforce vampire laws) and beg to die. When this doesn't work, he tries to exposes himself to humans and almost get himself and Bella killed when Alice finds Bella after 6+ months and brings her to Italy to save Edward.
So that's the scoop. Now I'm onto a coupla books including the 3rd book, Eclipse.

Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere in the world, there is a duck watching you.

HEY ALL!
I finished three books, sorry I haven't blogged in so long!
The first book I finished is called The Body Finder.
The Body Finder is a book about a girl named Violet and her best friend/ boyfriend Jay. Violet hears rhythms coming off of people responsible for the deaths of others, and she hears the same rhythm coming off of the person dead. In this book she is trying to find out the killer of some local girls, and finds herself stuck. Now, even though she doesn't know it at first, the killer is after her.

I also finished Heist Society by Ally Carter. This book is about a girl named Kat Bishop who has grown up in a family of thieves, master thieves. So when she scams her way into a boarding school (a very fancy boarding school- best in the country) she hopes to leave her old life behind, but things don't work out to well. You see, Hale, one of Kat's friends and co-thieves, shows up saying a famous piece of art has been stolen in a way that only a master thieve could pull off. And Kat's dad is the suspect list. So she and her teenage group of soon-to-be thieves decided to steal it back. I liked this book and would read the second one if one comes out.

Lastly I finished The Den of Shadows- which counts as four books because it's four novel in one book! This one took a while.
In the Forests of the Night
Three hundred years ago Risika had a family—a brother and a father who loved her. Three hundred years ago she was human. Now she is a vampire, a powerful one. And her past has come back to torment her.
Demon in My View
Jessica isn’t your average high school student—she’s an acclaimed published author of vampire fiction. Now two new students at her high school strongly remind her of her favorite characters. But those characters only live in her imagination—right?
Shattered Mirror
Christopher Raneva and Sarah Vida may look like a normal high school couple, but he’s actually a vampire who’s sworn off human blood and she’s an incredibly powerful, vampire-hunting witch. As if that weren’t enough to prevent their love, his past and her future collide when they get tangled up with Nikolas, one of the most reviled vampires ever.
Midnight Predator
Once a happy teenager, Turquoise Draka is now a vampire hunter. Her current assigment is to assassinate Jeshikah, one of the cruelest vampires in history. But to do that, she’ll have to enter Midnight, a fabled vampire realm, as a human slave. . . .
Sorry, one this last one I had to copy the review from Barnes And Nobel because I would go on forever reviewing each single book.

The word "queue" is the only word in the English language that is still pronounced the same way when the last four letters are removed.

87

87 books down, baby! Mhmmm I finished Animal Farm by George Orwell. This book was uhmm okay I don't think it's anything special but the mirror on communism was very clever and I enjoyed finding parallels. So, that's officially 87 books now and we are really really behind. Yeah, basically we aren't going to meet out deadline. What do you think? Should we move the date by a month or 2 or stick with it and just fail miserably. Decisions, decisions. Well see ya latah!

Hey! I finished Kiss my Book by Jamie Michaels. In this book
Ruby Crane, 15, is becoming a star, and fast. She is the most popular kid at Frasier High for many reason, including the facts that she has a handsome boyfriend, just got her book she had written called The Heart Stealer published, and had received a movie deal for her book. Ruby is soon going to be a Junior in HS and she is ready for NYC as a writer. But every buzz has to die eventually. While in on TV she is accused of plagiarizing from another hit YA book. And the proof is undeniably good.

Soon her best friend and boy friend stop contacting her and the media won't leave her alone, hungry for the truth. And Ruby has to get away. So she disappears from the limelight just like that, and meets some people who really care for her along the way.

Hey! I also forgot to blog about two more books I read. One is called Airhead by Meg Cabot, the other one Being Nikki by Meg Cabot (the sequel to Airhead). Airhead is about a girl named Emerson Watts, Em, who dies and her brain get put into Nikki's body (Nikki had also died... in the same place at the same time.. hmmm), a famous super model.

In the second book Em/Nikki's best friend from before they accident who she is in love with finds out who she is and is determined to find out why the TV at the new SoHo Stark Megastore grand opening fell on her. It turns out Nikki was killed by the company and killed Em to replace her, since Nikki had learned too much about the company (that happens to be Evil). I can't wait for the next one!!!

HEY! I finished The Black Sheep by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout. This book is about a girl named Kendra who writes a letter to the Black Sheep reality TV show asking to switch families and get away from her workaholic, marathon-obsessed, banker parents and the book of their rules. But soon she forgets all about the letter... at least until the crew for the show showed up on her doorsteps and told her she had a family in California waiting for her. And so she goes. And gets completely attached to her new hippy family of six children, including Mitch, an attractive otter activist who hates the idea of the show. A cause that Kendra quickly becomes a supporter of. But she really does hate her producer, Judy, who happens to be tearing apart her and Mitch's relationship every time she does anything Black Sheep related.
An okay book, light-hearted and sort of plot-less in terms of excitement.

The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
