I'm still reading books like I always have, but I haven't felt like I should be writing reviews. For what reason I'm not quite sure. I'll be posting review every now and then, but I don't like reviewing a book that a lot of people have review or more so when the book is very popular and well know such as THE HUNGER GAMES which I just review in May. I do have a bunch of review books that I need to post reviews on so don't worry all you authors out there I've read a hand full of them. I haven't forgetten about you. <br />

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.</span></i><br />

But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival</span></i><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Oh em gee! Guys lets just say that everything I heard about this book was right! It was amazinglysuperfantastical beyond belief. You know you enjoyed trying to read my made up word. Anywho I was super happy when I received this copy in the mail by winning a giveaway!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I jumped right into it after I was finished reading the other book I was working on. The beginning was a bit dry for my taste, but it really picked up in the next few chapters. I was one of the people that read the book before the movie! Which I was very proud of myself for doing because I had to wait to watch the movie seeing as how I was half way through it when the movie came out in theaters.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Katniss is an amazing lead character! I adore the way she has to act fearless and like an adult because of the situation at hand. But inside I know she has a soft spot. It's touching the way she talks about certain people in her life and shows her feelings towards them. Gale I'm not so sure about the way I feel towards his character I like what I've read about him but I didn't get enough of him in the picture to really tell if I liked him or disliked him more.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Peeta! Well lets just say he's not my favorite character, but he is up there. He's sweet, shy, and has an innocents about him that I like. Throughout the story I had mixed feelings about him because some of the things that happen which I won't spoil, but I'm kind of on a balance here. I like him but I don't.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Back to the main story line. The Hunger Games is thrilling and suspenseful I was never bored and there was always something lurking in the corner to surprise me. I would be reading and talk to myself like "Oh this is going to happen" and the something else happened so I was bad at guessing the "next big thing" when it came the this one.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">This is becoming a really long review but I could go on and on about this book. So I'll just stop while I'm ahead and finish by saying I can't wait to reading Catching Fire and Mockingjay!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />

Willow has a gift. She can look into the future and know people's dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. she has no idea where this power comes from. But the assassin, Alex, does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows more about Willow than Willow herself does. He knows that her powers link to dark and dangerous forces and that he's one of the few humans left who can fight them.

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><i style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><b><u>Review:</u></b> </i><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">ZOMG! You guys I think I'm in love! This is definitely going to be my favorite series of all of 2012! I absolutely positively love L.A. Weatherly now. This book was beyond amazing. I knew I was going to love it just by reading the synopsis but I loved it even MORE after I read the story.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Alex and Willow are great together even through all the tension at first it was awesome! This story made pictures in my head as I read it. L.A. Weatherly is so descriptive in her writing! Am I right or am I right? I love the way everything flows together as you read. Something else I enjoyed was how she alternated between first person and it seemed like third person but I'm not quite sure, anyways that was cool! I love books that do that. More if it's between the two romantically involved characters.</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">If you have not read this book you are CRAZY!!!!!!!!! I bet you'll love as much or even maybe more than I do! It has angels, physic powers, and much more! You find out something at the end that you never would have expected in 10 million years. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">It's just awesome now get off you butt, stop reading my review and go buy it for yourself so you can find out too! If you don't have money go to the library or ask a friend to borrow it! That's one choice I know none of you will regret. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Miss Scrimshaw’s Academy for Girls is a cover for an all-female investigative unit called The Agency, and at seventeen, Mary is about to put her training to the test. Assuming the guise of a lady’s companion, she must infiltrate a rich merchant’s home in hopes of tracing his missing cargo ships. But the household is full of dangerous deceptions, and there is no one to trust — or is there? Packed with action and suspense, banter and romance, and evoking the gritty backstreets of Victorian London, this breezy mystery debuts a daring young detective who lives by her wits while uncovering secrets — including those of her own past.</i></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><u style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19px;">Review:</u><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> I asked for this book because a book blogger on YouTube, who I can't recall the name of at the moment, said that this series was awesome and that it was one of her favorites! So I asked for the book read the synopsis, the book sounds great! Not as good as she made it seem because she made it sound like it was THE BOMB!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I didn't think it was the bomb at all! Until I got around 5 chapters in. That's when all the mystery and suspense and all that jazz comes in! Then I loved the book from that point on. It actually turned into THE BOMB, it just took a few chapters of reading for it to get to that point of entertainment and excitement! I would recommend this to people that love a good mystery and a little bit of romance twisted together to make an awesome read!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I adore the characters. And it was actually heartbreaking at parts, and once you read it you'll know what I'm talking about! I almost started to cry too. Mary Quinn is awesome I wonder what mysterious job she'll have next!</span></span></div><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I'm using a lot of exclamation point... ha-ha OK anyways. I really enjoyed this read. It always kept me guessing and after the first few chapters I was never really bored with it, I actually want to get the second novel in the series and start reading it right now! So that's my review yea I know mine are kinda short but if you wanna know about a book don't you want it to be short and sweet?</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Her parents are dead, and her hybrid-werewolf first love is threatening to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. Then, as she and her uncle are about to unveil their hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform their new hire into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Can he wow the crowd in his fake fangs, cheap cape, and red contact lenses - or is there more to this earnest face than meets the eye? As human and preternatural forces clash, a deadly love triangle forms, and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who-s playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything? TANTALIZE marks Cynthia Leitich Smith-s delicious debut as a preeminent author of dark fantasy.</span></span><br />

Showering is hygiene and I like to be as clean as possible. Any-who now that you guys all know I like to be a clean person just unorganized sometimes on with the review.</span></span></span></span><br />

I loved it! It's definitely going to be on my favorites of 2012. Quincie is an outstanding lead character I thought. Kieren, the hybrid werewolf lover is mysterious and intriguing. All of the characters had their own jazz to them as do most characters in novels but Cynthia made them realistic in a visual way. Making pictures in your mind about what they looked like, how them acted, what scared them or didn't, if they were normal or a were. Just a very interesting and unpredictable read.</span></span></span></span><br />

Everyone has things that they are bad at and she was confident enough to put it out there. I probably wouldn't be able to do that. Because even though I can admit when I'm not very good at something I don't like it.<br />
<br />
But I will admit on my blog that I'm not the most organized person sometimes just like Maggie. I think everyone has their messy side. Mine happeneds to be when it comes to keeping my room clean while I'm getting ready for school in the mornings. Maggie's is keeping her desk organized and not knowing how it happened haha.<br />
<br />
That's my favotire blog post other than the obvious ones about her awesome series The Wolves of Mercy Falls :) Which if you haven't read or checked out you should go and do that because the books are awesome.<br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><u><i><b>Synopsis: </b></i></u>Jenna may hail from the ’burbs of New Jersey, but Green Teen activism is her life. So when her mom suggests they spend the summer at Grandma’s Florida condo, Jenna pleads instead to visit her hippie godmother, Susie, up in rural Canada. Jenna is psyched at the chance to commune with this nature she’s heard about — and the cute, plaidwearing boys she’s certain must roam there. But after a few run-ins with local wildlife (from a larger-than-life moose to Susie’s sullen Goth stepdaughter to a hot but hostile boy named Reeve), Jenna gets the idea that her long-held ideals, like vegetarianism and conservation, don’t play so well with this population of real outdoorsmen. A dusty survival guide offers Jenna amusing tips on navigating the wilderness — but can she learn to navigate the turns of her heart?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;">I really really uber enjoyed this book.

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Back to the book, sorry got a little side tracked! Ok Abby made this novel amazing. I'd give it a 4.5 if I was going to rate it. I'm trying to write this without giving anything away in the story. Jenna is a girl who loves nature and seems like she would do anything to save a fly while she's in her home town. Well what about when she goes to Canada? I can't tell what happens but I can say that you'll love every second of reading this. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I don't really know what to say about this one other than that I liked it a lot and that it would be a great summer read for those that haven't read it or those that want to read it again. I for one didn't think it was good enough for a second read. My absolute favorite character out of the entire novel was Reeve from the very beginning he sounded awesome. Also the fact that the way Abby writes out Jenna's thoughts about him makes him even more enjoyable as a character.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Something I REALLY REALLY hated about this novel was the ENDING!!!!! I can't get over how I wish this novel ended. I wish it would have given a little bit of a fast forward into what happened later in all of the great characters lives. Like how at the end of some movies they'll say something along the lines of "Gary, lived his life at home sitting in his mothers basement eating PB & J, and never got married." </span></span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">And if that wasn't a good idea how about a sequel. I would have loved to see what the next summer had in store for everyone of maybe even Winter break something would have been better than that crappy ending.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Suddenly, Waverly’s dreams are interrupted by the inconceivable – a violent betrayal by the Empyrean's sister ship, the New Horizon. The New Horizon’s leaders are desperate to populate the new planet first, and will do anything to get what they need: young girls. In one pivotal moment, Waverly and Kieran are separated, and find themselves at the helm of dangerous missions, where every move has potentially devastating consequences, and decisions of the heart may lead to disaster.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><u><span style="color: white;">Review:</span></u></i></b><span style="color: #cccccc;"> Glow is amazing! I absolutly loved it. On the back of the ARC it says that it's the most riveting series since The Hunger Games, but some of you will be shocked that I haven't read that series yet. I know jaw dropping moment. But I want to so don't judge me!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something I noticed is that it seemed like it took ages to read, but then again you are reading through the never ending place we call space!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think anyone would enjoy this book as much as I did, and if you don't .... well I'm sorry to say your a speck of dust in outer space. Just kidding. How you feel is totally your own opinion! I've heard nothing but great things about this book from many blogs that I read and I see why. I couldn't put it down. Glow is Awe-tab-ulous!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the way Amy switched the settings back and forth between parts. Going from the Empyrean to the New Horizon. I think that made everything more fun and added lots of suspense. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favorite thing about this book is it didn't BORE ME once! I was always intrigued!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can't WAIT for the next installment!</span><br />

But when she refuses to major in business and take over the farm herself someday, her grandmother gives Erin's college tuition and promised inheritance to their maddeningly handsome stable boy, Hunter Allen. Now Erin has to win an internship and work late nights at a coffee shop to make her own dreams a reality. She should despise Hunter . . . so why does he sneak into her thoughts as the hero of her latest writing assignment? </span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Then, on the day she's sharing that assignment with her class, Hunter walks in. He's joining her class. And after he reads about himself in her story, her private fantasies about him must be painfully clear. She only hopes to persuade him not to reveal her secret to everyone else. But Hunter devises his own creative revenge, writing sexy stories that drive the whole class wild with curiosity and fill Erin's heart with longing. Now she's not just imagining what might have been. She's writing a whole new ending for her romance with Hunter . . . except this story could come true.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"><b><u>Review:</u></b> </span>So you want to read a great modern love story? This is the book for you then!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> To me this is a very great book, but I have to say the beginning was more like an adult novel than a teen book. How it was drawn out slow and just little things like that. But I didn't mind I love a good romance :)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Don't get me wrong I loved the book. This was also the first novel I have read by Jennifer Echols. I plan on reading more! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Erin is a girl who has a sad past and confusing future. When it comes to Hunter she can't really decide what she wants! And it doesn't help that he sends her mixed signals.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
So that brings us to Hunter, the hunky stable-boy! Who wouldn't want one of him in their life? I want one! Haha, so anyways he if forever sending Erin in a rotation. Their writing feud gets confusing.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">This book is very good! I have sorta mixed emotions about it, but I know that the beginning was the only thing I found that was a little out for me. That was my only pet peeve about this novel, but it was great other than that! You should go pick up a copy and start reading :)</span></span><br />

Well without ruining the book, I can say that shes independent and sometimes stubborn. But she also has her sensitive side. She pulls through rough times.

If you are worried about a cliff hanger don't be. I think this story ends very well! In the last few chapters I want to say that Jordan ties up all the loose ends of wonder. You might still wonder about the little things but not anything serious. White Bird and Breena make this story the great book that it is. (Of course Jordan had the biggest part in making it that way) I lvoe the way it switches points of view, but you have to pay attention to the characters otherwise you'll end up confused.

<i><u>Synopsis: Aphra Connolly is being chased by some very dangerous people. She knows her survival depends upon staying far away from love interest Seth, and listening to her mom's lectures on the finer points of anonymity and survival. But how is a girl supposed to live under the radar and not think about her boyfriend when she's in Paris - the most romantic city in the world? When her mom's contact in Paris is found floating in the Seine with a deadly message stuffed in his mouth, Aphra realizes that she will never be able to stop running unless she confronts the situation head-on. Sneaking away from her mom, Aphra tracks down the criminal mastermind in Italy, only to unwittingly reveal Seth's location. And her mistake has just put them both in mortal danger. . . .</u></i><br />

In a good way though! There's many different settings in it which was cool. So much action also. I't a really good read. I still have to say though, that Death by Latte was my favorite. There was a kinda boring part closer to the end, but I'm not going to ruin it for you guys. It might have been just boring to me though because of how much action there was throughout it and then in the one section there really wasn't any.</span><br />

There's some romance in it, sorta. I cried at one point for no apparent reason, nothing bad even happened I think I was just touched or maybe it was just me being a girl, I'm not really sure which one. So go buy it it's a good read and if you've read the other two you have to buy this one it completes the other two!</span></span></span><br />

She had been living a quiet existence on her fathers secluded island resort, until Seth Mulo turned up and stole her heart . . . and provided information that led her to find her mom in Seattle. But the reunion isnt quite what she expected. Aphras mom, Natalie, doesnt seem happy to see Aphra, and Natalies boyfriend, Joe, insists that Aphra go home. Even worse, Seth shows up, only to ask her to return the ring he gave her the previous summer. At least Natalies hunky neighbor is sympathetic. But when Joe is found dead at a nearby coffee shop, Aphra discovers her whole trip to Seattle has been based on a lie. And now someone just might be trying to kill her. . . .</u></i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><u style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Review:</u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> So much better than the first book. The first one (Death by Bikini) was good but this one to me was so much more thrilling. There's lots of suspense, imagery, and foreshadowing going one throughout the story. I can't give you anymore information other than you should read it because if I even so much as said a characters name it would ruin the book, I think. Anyways read it, it's awesome thanks for sending it to me Linda Gerber, sorry this review is kinda late.</span></span></span><br />
