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 #1

Hello blog readers^•^

As you can see I'm a little behind with starting this blog, but even though I started so late into January I'm still going to include the 4 books I have already read this year. So I thought I would start off with a teenage classic to get the ball rolling.

Book #1: Twilight
Finished: January 9, 2011

The first book I read this year was Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. And no this was not my first time reading this book. It was my ... 5th?

I am a huge fan of the Twilight saga books. The movies- not so much. The
movies do not do the books justice. I think the people they cast were all wrong, the way they changed the plot was wrong, the cullens house was wrong, the school was wrong, everything was wrong. But this blog is not here for my to complain about bad movies, it's here so I can talk about wonderful books. And twilight is a wonderful book.

Twilight Summary: I'm guessing most people know what twilight is about but for those few people who have been living under a rock the last five years... twilight is a novel about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and meets the love of her life, Edward. There's only one problem- he's a vampire.

My favorite thing about the book: What's not to like? It has love, secrets, revenge, action, vampires, and on top of all of that Bella tries to figure out who she is and where she belongs. I like how in a lot if ways (besides the vampire love part) I can relate this book and the way Bella feels to my life. Parents divorced, going to a new school, trying to fit in, that kind if thing. Edward and Bella are perfect together. I  love all of the different characters in the book and all of there different personalities. Jasper and Alice are adorable together, and my favorite characters. Hmm.. I think that's all of my favorite things from the book. I don't have a ton to say for this book because in guessing everyone knows it. Over all it is a great read that will make you not want to put it down. And if you don't feel like reading it YouTube Alex Day reads Twilight. He is making fun of it but it's just so fantastically funny it doesn't even matter :D heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L253VLwH3w

Team Edward or Team Jacob? : I known right now that's the only thing you really want to know ;). And the truth is I am proudly Team Edward. So sorry all you Tayl- I mean Jacob fans, but Jacob is an annoying, clumsy, huge, long haired dog boy and I see nothing attractive in that. Edward on the other hand...

Rating: I would give twilight a 4.6. out of five stars.

Recommend it?: definitely. But of course I'm sure most people have read it.

Disagree or agree with anything I just wrote? Let me know in the comments :). Another blog tomorrow, thanks for reading!
