Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots.

 I was just in the library one day and decided to pick this up. I read it and figured, this would be a 3(pins),but i was pleasantly surprised. It was interesting at most places but confusing at others. Some of the characters are very mood-swingy. In it at the beginning Jenna is a hard-core 'Green-Teen' but when she moves to Canada for the summer, she eats meat and stuff, but then at other times she is pushing being green like there is no tomorrow. I think a few parts could be left out, but overall I enjoyed it and will read it again.Abby McDonald has quite a few books and I am definitely going to try to read them also she is a great author.

This book gets
four pins!:)


*I changed the pins because my old one wouldn't load*

Be sure to watch out for  the"My Pages" post. Its all my books and pages of 2011 and their ratings!:)
Keep On Reading :DD

 The Clique

This Series is very good.

It is like an insider guide to acual Middle School Cliques.

I love how it doesn't use such harsh language as so much other teenage books do. Most adults don't like these books and have rated them 1s and 2s because they felt it was to clique-y(Ironic,Huh?). I am reviewing their 7th grade year(books 1-8). The events that happen are things that actually happen at school, most of the plots in the books stay true to the novels nature. Another thing I Ahb-Solutly Luh-v are the covers. ;)

 

 The characters are very understandable. The queen bee who has to be in control, the beautiful self conscious one, the one who is a little chunkier than the rest, the poor one, and the new girl. This series is just a light read really because it is a little over 200 pages in each book, and doesn't really have a rising action that was suspenseful in each book. Yes, there was plenty going on but it was not action packed. These are books for 11 years old and up. It has topics such as first kisses, boyfriends, best friends, and fashion. I am 13(less than a month until I'm 14:D) any way I personaly loved the books. They were a quirky understandable read. I would rate the first 8 books of this series a solid 4 pins
.

                                                                                                                          

Last Sacrifice!

Happy New Year Y'all!:) So since it is a new year I am setting up my posts diffrent!

Last Sacrifice(Vampire Acadamy 6)

Richelle Mead

Started: 1/4

Ended: 1/5

            I thought this book was amazing, simple as that. It was the peak of perfection for a novel. I personally think it was a solid book, and you could truly feel what Rose was feeling.As like all the other Vampire Acadamy novels. They were all amazing, but this was my favorite. It teaches more within the deepth of the story, it shows how love overpowers all.I was waiting a while to read this, but once I started I couldn't put it down. It was exactly what I expected and more.If I could give it a million pins, I would but I can't so, I would rate it a strong 5

*NOTE**no spoilers:D* I would have choose a diffrent guy, if I were Rose:) But the one she choose is cool;))

Ms Brighton did not pay nor bribe us to review this novel.

Zakiya's Review: OH MY GOSH!!!!!! For 2 or 3 months, I thought The Last Song was the best novel out there. I have been proven wrong! Lori Brighton's YA novel was filled with action, emotional pains, characters that I wanted to hurt -- physically. Once I got closer to the climax, I was practically yelling at the charries for doing stupid .... stuff :). The story's somewhat-hero, the one I yelled at the most, describes Cameron as a "sitting duck" while trying to persuade her into going back with him to Aaron's hosue to train her powers. Yeah, she agreed. So she was, what, a swimming duck? Something to ask the author :). I have honestly never read anything like this. If I could change anything, I might make it a little longer, but I LOVE the cliff hanger at the end. With that steep of an ending, there has to be a sequel. So many ends were left untied. This novel definitely gets 5 wings!!


Leanne's Review: Lori Brighton outdid herself. This novel was short (170 pages) was amazing!!!!! I read it through GoogleDocs and could not stop. This book was completly amazing. It is the best one I have read in a while. It had everything you would want in a book, but it was very short. There was a lot going on. You never know what will happen next. Cam is just trying to find a place in the world. She is diffrent than others in more ways than one, but the most dominate is that she is a mind reader. So is her grandmother. She doesn't think anyone else is, because her grandmother has shielded her from all of that. I personally loved this book. You couldn't just skip a few pages like on other books; instead of focusing on a bunch of unnessasary details, it just gets straight to what's happening. The time in it jumps around a lot, but it isn't that hard to keep up. I would reccomend this to everyone. It is a light read between books and very interesting. I would rate this 5 pins.

(From both of us)

Our Favorite Quote!!!! :

"The guard grabbed my left arm and jerked me up the steps. My heart plummeted. Maddox might be some sort of secret agent, but unless he was Harry Freaking Potter, there was no way he could get us out of this situation."

Fire:Kristen Cashore

I think this was an amazing novel. It takes place before Gracling because Leck is a boy. Fire is an outstanding creature, who can control the minds of others. She is like a gracling but diffrent in many ways. There are parts that make you want to scream and parts that make you want to cry, but that just adds to the depth of the book. My favorite characters  other than Fire are Archer and Hanna. Cashore is a beautiful writer and this novel shows that. I could not put it down. I liked this better than Gracling for some reasons but they are very diffrent, so you can't really compare them. I will be reading this in the near future. It is something you have to read! I would rate it 5 pins

Mockingjay Review!!!!

Okay.I just finished Mockingjay. WOW, so heres the review.

Rating: (4 pins)

Okay, so I LOVEDDD this series, & this boook but it threw me off. It jumps around alot so you are not completly sure of whats going on sometimes, so you have to go back. They have ALOT of characters and alot of names to keep up with but thoses are the ONLY reasons it got a 4. To the good part..This was a fantastic end to the series. Katniss choses the guy she loves, a lot of lives are lost, but stay close in memory. There is so much fighting and stuff that it keeps you on your toes, and enough romance and stuff to even it all out. I swear I could not put this book down. Some parts make you laugh out loud and some make you want to cry.  One of my favorite lines in the novel, Suzanne uses to lossen up the dark mood.. "One man in a fluffy robe, holds only an overripe banana"... Once again this novel is stupendous and I would seriously recoomend this book and series to any one!!
