Book #11
Hello blog readers^•^
This is going to be a short blog today because I have a ton of school work I need to finish! So sorry!
Book #11: Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side
Finished: March 10, 2011
I read Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey for the book club I'm in at my school.
Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side Summary: This book is about a girl named Jessica who is starting her senior year in high school, only to be stocked by a mysterious stranger, and find out her family has been hiding a huge secret form her... That she is a vampire princess who has an arranged marriage set up for her... with a vampire prince. And if she dies not marry him war in the vampire world will breakout.
My favorite things about the book: I love vampire novels, and I love romance novels. This book include both of those things which was very good. I also love stories with hidden secrets form old family's and things like that. I loved how during the novel Lucius ( the vamp prince Jessica is supposed to marry ) helps her realize how beautiful she really is. That was really sweet. For a second I thought it was going to end badly, but I didn't so that's good. I love happy endings. I loved how Lucius talked during the novel; like he was from the past. And lastly I loved how even though it was from Jessica's point of view we still got to see Lucius's thoughts from his letters he wrote to his uncle.
Some things I didn't like about the book: Hmm... There's not much I didn't like about the book. I didn't like how Jake completely over reacted about what happened. And I also didn't like Faith. Hmm I quess that's all. Overall a good read.
Rating: I would give Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side a 4.3 out of 5 stars
Recommend it?: Yep, but it's really more of a girly book, just a warning to you guys
Disagree or agree with anything I just wrote? Let me know in the comments :). Thanks for reading! Another blog very soon!

Book #10
Hello blog readers^•^
I know, I know. I'm very behind in my reading. But that's because I'm in the middle if like 5 books right now so I've been spending more time reading than blogging. Sorry! Anyway really soon I'm going to be done with like five books at the same time, so I'll catch up.
Book #10: Linger
Finished: February 28, 2011
SPOILER ALERT! (For Shiver)
Linger is the second book in the wolves of mercy falls series by maggie stiefvater. The first book in the series is Shiver (remember? From about a month ago). When I start a series and I like the first book than I go on to the next book, thats true with most people.
Linger Summary: Linger picks up a few months after were shiver ended. Sam is human and no longer changes in to a wolf because of the cold. It's almost spring so Sam, Grace, and Isabella start to meet the new wolves Beck changed. They meet Cole, one of the new wolves, how has very familiar face and hidden secret. Along side of that things are happening to Grace that no one can explain...
My favorite things about the book: I liked this book better that Shiver, which I know is weird because sequels normally aren't as good as the first book or movie. I think I liked it better because of the new character, Cole. I just loved his back story. Maggie Stiefvater creates great back stories. Cole is the lead singer in this boyband and he hates his life and wgat he stands for so much that he just wants to loss himself. I loved how as the story went on Cole changed who he is and really started to turn his life around. He went from suicides careless teen to... just human. I loved how adorable Grace and Sam are together. I loved how isabella had a bigger part in this book to and how she helps Cole, and how Cole helps her. The book ends with a huge cliffhanger. That's always good. Makes you need to have next book. I love that feeling; needing a book. I also just loved how the book was in green ink. Fantastic ;)
Some things I didn't like about the book: At the end of Shiver Sam is cured from being a wolf so he goes on dating Grace and all. I didn't like how Grace over reacted to her parents over reaction to when they found Sam in her room at night. No they were not sleeping together, only next to each other and Grace parents got really mad so they grounded her. Sure Grace does have some good points she proves but she did kind of go over board. She should have just taken her punishment. It wasn't that much. Only a weekend. I don't know I would have reacted different. She just needs to chill. The other thing I didn't like was how Cole was a sex/drug/suicidal/ guy, but like I said through out the novel he changes so that's good. Over all a very good book.
Rating: I would give Linger 4.4 out of 5 stars
Recommend it?: Yes, but again start at the beginning Shiver. Much less confusing that way.

Spoiler?
Hello my blog readers ^•^
I just finished writing a blog on the book Linger. In that blog there are some spoilers of how Shiver ended. I thought now would be a good time to tell you my view on spoilers.
I don't mind spoilers. I actually like them. Some times (not always) it's nice to know how the story ends. I know some people HATE that. I don't. For insistence Harry Potter. All those years ago when the last HP book came out the first thing I did was go to the very last page. The last sentence of the last page said something along the lines of " Harry's scar hasn't hurt him in x amount of years. It was all well" or something like that.
I know, I know, you're thinking I'm crazy. How could I skip to the end like that? I ruined the book, there's no point of reading it now that I know the end. I disagree. I think knowing the end gives you all the more reason to read the and find out how the story got from point A to point Z. just my opinion. I like to know that everything will be okay in the end. Like with Harry Potter if I didn't know that Harry lived in the end them there would have been no way I could have finished that book with out dying. But thats just me.
My favorite part if the book is all the gunk in the middle. That's why I read books. I don't read it so I can get to the end and I don't read it so I know how it starts. The behind is always confusing anyway. I read for the little details on the middle. That is what makes a book good. That's why I live really long books; lots of gunk to read ;) I also love those books that start at the end and work backwards. Those are the best.
So I say bring on the spoilers, tell me what happens at the end. But I know most people don't like that so here on this blog I'm trying to keep the endings of the books I read a secret as best as possible (I'm sorry to anyone reading this that didn't know how Harry Potter ended! I guess now you do!)
What's your view on spoilers? Agree with me? Or not? Let me know :)
