Catching Jordan
Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Ok the ONLY reason I did not give this book a perfect 5 is because ....
Her and Henry are like what now friends with benefits? dating?? She needed to wrap up the story a teeny bit more with like an epilogue if she is never planning to write a sequel... But a sequel would be fricken awesome!!!! Do they appear in any of the other books??
Ok done with my spoiler rant ^^
This book was just Frekin awesome. I LOVED how it was so true to life with the cussing and how these high school kids are sexually active because HELLO football players and cheerleaders? Duh people. But we never see anything more than making out which I appreciated because I did not need pictures of JJ doing something xD I adored alll the characters (But I didnt like Ty from the start) and the setting and mmmmmm Mr. Sam Henry
description
Also I loved/hated the dad relationship... Im super close to my dad and it killed me how Jordan was such a bitch to him all the time! Talk about PRIDE.

All in all an awesome book that total rivals Susane Colasanti's book, because there was less family drama-rama and honestly im shocked none of the football players turned out to be gay!

Cover:
UM their team is black and red? Wtf with the purple? and we totally know Woods would not where bracelets....

Review: Mistwood


Mistwood
Mistwood by Leah Cypess

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



For some reason this book just didn't enthrall me at all. Great concept , original story line , but it just seemed flatlined to me. Yet i kept flipping the pages. Good book if you can read fast but if it takes you a month to read a book, don't waste your time. Still going to read the second book ... I think.

Clockwork Angel

>> Tuesday, May 8, 2012



Name: Clockwork Angel
Author: Cassandra Clare
Pages: 476
Start Date: March 21,2012
Finish Date: May 8th, 2012
Type: Victornan YA Paranormal EVERYTHING
Status: Library; Prequel to the Mortal Instruments & #1 in the Infernal Devices series
Rating:
Summary:
Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still. When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos. Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What’s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length . . . everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world. . . . and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

My Review:
The only reason the book got 3 stars is because 1- No one can beat Jace!; 2- the begining was sooo dry for some reason to me! I mean, so much happens right off the bat, I didnt get into it that much till half way thrugh. This book though is very fast paced and for any followers of Mrs.Clare , they will completely enjoy it. The victorian scene with such deteiled charaters and suprising events and shocking secrets will entrap anyone in its pages. Plus a love triangle that doesnt know its a love trinagle is just to yummy! Lol! Its got blood, kissing, lies, and robots... How could you not like it? c=

Excerpt:
“You know," Gabriel said, "there was a time I thought we could be friends, Will."

"There was a time I thought I was a ferret," Will said, "but that turned out to be the opium haze. Did you know it had that effect? Because I didn't.”


Cover:
Neat, but not how I picture Will...I wish Jem would have been on the cover x)

Title:
Very much ties in with the book which I like

Extras:
Llisten to "The Section Quartet" radio on pandora; it really tunes you into the book!

Type: Romantic Fantasy/Post Apocalyptic

Beatrice "Tris" Prior has reached the fateful age of sixteen, the stage at which teenagers in Veronica Roth's dystopian Chicago must select which of five factions to join for life.

Her choice exposes her to the demanding, violent initiation rites of this group, but it also threatens to expose a personal secret that could place in mortal danger. Veronica Roth's young adult Divergent trilogy launches with a captivating adventure about love and loyalty playing out under most extreme circumstances.
My Review:
Ok when I bought this book , I was completely distracted because that day I met my boyfriend =) So after letting this book sit on my shelf for 3 months I thought I'd read it ! I went blindly into its pages and came out st-st-sstunned; this book is just WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. I couldn't get enough! Sometimes the writing would be a tad dry but with all the twists, secrets and plots you really dont give a crap. This concept of the world is intriguing and mind blowing. The characters were all different and harshly beautiful. I have no clue how I'm going to make it through this series with only 3 more books AND have to wait THREE YEARS for the last book. The wait might kill me but I have to read this whole series. You should too.
PS- WAY better then the hunger games btw!
Excerpt:
“I might be in love with you." He smiles a little. "I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you, though.”

So freaking cool! And once you read the book you'll get it ;)

Prada and Prejudice


Name: Prada and Prejudice
Author:
Pages: 238
Start Date: October 2nd, 2011
Finish Date: October 3rd, 2011
Type: Lite Historical teen romance-y
Status: Library
Rating:

Summary:
To impress the popular girls on a high school trip to London, klutzy Callie buys real Prada heels. But trying them on, she trips, conks her head, and wakes up in the year 1815! There Callie meets Emily, who takes her in, mistaking her for a long-lost friend. As she spends time with Emily's family, Callie warms to them, particularly to Emily's cousin Alex, a hottie and a duke, if a tad arrogant.
But can Callie save Emily from a dire engagement, and win Alex's heart, before her time in the past is up?
More Cabot than Ibbotson, Prada and Prejudice is a high-concept romantic comedy about finding friendship and love in the past in order to have happiness in the present.


My Review:
This book was cute and quite a fast read but it wasnt all sugar and spice....
The whole premise was fantastic but I wanted more detail and for her and Alex to get it onnnn ;D (just kidding)
In some ways she was way to old to be merely 15 and in some cases she acted 12; not thinking and just saying.
If I was in the situation Callie found herself in I think I would've handled much MUCH better.

Also I loved the shoes!
But all in all this was a cute, fun, and fast read =)

Excerpt:
“What do you mean, ruined?"
From the way Emily swallows slowly, you'd think we were talking about smoking crack. "Compromised. By...by another man."
"Oh!" I say, too loudly. "You mean, if the girl's not a virgin, the guy won't marry her?"
She nods, her eyes wide, as if being a non-virgin is akin to being an ax-murder.” 


Cover:
So cute! :D

Title:
Kinda cute, tying in the shoes and an old book.

Extras:
Better Red Shoes ;)

Sea Change

Finish Date: September 11th, 2011
Type: Mystical Island Lore Fantasy
Status: Library
Rating:

Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Miranda Merchant is great at science. . .and not so great with boys. After major drama with her boyfriend and (now ex) best friend, she's happy to spend the summer on small, mysterious Selkie Island, helping her mother sort out her late grandmother's estate.There, Miranda finds new friends and an island with a mysterious, mystical history, presenting her with facts her logical, scientific mind can't make sense of. She also meets Leo, who challenges everything she thought she knew about boys, friendship. . .and reality. Is Leo hiding something? Or is he something that she never could have imagined?

My Review:
This book for me wasn't "all that" sadly. I think the characters, mother and daughter especially needed to grow up. Also there was just to much mystery and not nearly enough answers. This whole story could have been easily a short story. The author desperately needs to make another book other wise I will feel like it was a waste to read this. On the good sides, I loved some of the folklore and stories and the twisted secrets. Overall its an enjoyable summer read.

Excerpt:
“Summer-induced stupidity.That was the diagnosis...”

Cover:
Veryyy cool, a little abstract. obviously the people are gorgeous but i cant tell whats going on. Definitely a cover to stare at lol

Title:
Ohhh very nice and original. Love it!

Chew On This (4)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.


Yeaaaa sure....
Idk if I completly agree with this quote.
I think for a long period of time, yes it does make the heart grow fonder.
But for this day and age , absence for a few days, sometimes drives people in love CRAZY.

I can sympathize with that. Just being able to text or call each other is like a tease; what you want it RIGHT THERE yet you can't feel it. Its more annoying than "fond".
My boyfriend and I stay together for 3 days, apart for 4.

Those 4 days we bicker and everything annoys us, our families, the smell of the shampoo, yadayada.

Sometimes people, like my parents or myself and my beau, need each other.

You could be negative and say "Oh your co-dependent and thats not healthy" but... I dont believe that. If the feeling is mutual and that person doesnt want to be away from you any more than you dont want to feel them close to you then...whats so wrong about that?


If its love , if your are soul mates, there is no need for absence. None at all.

I Love You, Beth Cooper

>> Friday, August 6, 2010


Name: I Love You, Beth Cooper
Author: Larry Doyle
Pages: 253
Start Date: May 14
Finish Date: May 17
Type: LMAO High School Graduation Night Story
Status:Library
Rating:

Summary:Denis Cooverman didn't want to give a typical graduation speech, cherishing memories and embracing challenges and crap. So, instead, he stood up in front of his 512 class-mates and their 3,000 relatives and said some-thing really important: "I love you, Beth Cooper." It would have been such a sweet, romantic moment. Except that: Beth, the head cheerleader, has only the vaguest idea who Denis is. And Denis, the captain of the debate team, is so far out of her league he is barely even the same species. And then there's Kevin, Beth's remarkably large boyfriend, in town on furlough from the United States Army. Complications ensue. Denis comes of age overnight in this exhilar-ating, endearing novel that reminds us why we can't wait to escape high school but can never leave it behind.

My Review: Ok I could go on for DAYS about this book and why I loved it, but ya'll would never read it, so I'll keep it short and sweet. This book had every comical thing that could happen in it. I had to read it alone because I started snorting and laughing out loud in public. In one way I wish at least half of this stuff could happen to me and in another I just wish I could be Beth! I <3 u BC was definitely a LMAO/ROTFL book that had a romantic and crazy side. And the end...... well it leaves 'things' up in the air.... PS - The Pics are AWESOME! ::takes hat off for the artist::

Excerpt: UG! Mom took back a ton of books and I didn't get anything =( Including this one.
But go to the movie page and look a quotes, they all are from the book C=

Cover/Title: I love all the covers for this book! http://www.shelfari.com/books/496954/I-Love-You-Beth-Cooper/editions

Type: Lovey Dovey Romantic Comedy
Status: Library
Rating:

Summary:HOT STUFF introduces Cate Madigan, a Boston native from a large and crazy Irish family. Cate has far too much going on to get involved in extracurricular activities, like men and marriage. She spends all day in school, earning her teaching degree, and all night working as a bartender in Boston’s South End. Ex-cop Kellen McBride has decided to make Cate’s bar his nightly haunt. He likes Cate’s sassy Irish spirit and wild red hair. He also has an ulterior motive for getting close to her. Cate has sworn off all things romantic, but when she comes home to a ransacked apartment, a roommate who has flown the coop, and a sleeping bull-mastiff named Beast, Cate has no choice but to ask Kellen for help. Can Kate resist the charming Kellen McBride while keeping herself out of danger? Or will Kellen turn up the heat on Cate and everything in her life?

My Review:
Ok this book was horrible writing! I mean it was literally all talk and no action. Like someone would be talking and somehow end up on the other side of the room or in a different room and it's like how the hell did they get over there??? Also the chemistry seemed SooooSOOSOSo FAKE! But the redeeming quality was that is was literally laughing of loud funny. The characters and situitaions they get into.... omg LMAO! So, I mean, you might want to read it in a day like me, but if you think it would take you a week or tow, forget it!

Scrambled Eggs At Midnight

Type: Teen Life & Love
Status:Library
Rating:

Summary:Calliope (or Cal as she calls herself) wants nothing more than to stay put; to stop traveling cross-country with her mother, sleeping in a tent, and abandoning all belongings whenever they pull up stakes. Meanwhile, Eliot misses the happy times he left behind when his father decided to open a camp for kids looking to lose weight and find Jesus. when Cal and Eliot meet by chance, they feel an immediate connection. together they must face their isolation, the threat of yet another move, and the deepening of Eliot father’s obsession. in their case, love just might be everything it’s cracked up to be.

My Review: This book ain't all it's cracked up to be. It's better.
Within the first chapter I so felt for Cal, and in the second I had a crush on Eliot. I like how all the characters have there own stories and how the authors brought religion sneakily into the book. But in a good way, people. I swear.Also it's the little things in this book that seriously made my heart ache for someone like Eliot and to be brave like Cal. And the end.... omg FINALLY an ending that ended how I would have. In writing and in real life. Trust me. Read and see what Cal does..... I know you would do it too.

Excerpt: UG! Mom took back the book before I could get anything =( SRY!

Cover/Title:
CUTE! I mean the picture and name just so fits the book! LOVE it!

Extras: Look at Excerpt. Oh but did ya'll notice the authors? B B and H H. Lmao
