Currently Reading

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

I absolutely loved this book. I have been avoiding finishing it because i have the 2nd and 3rd books on there way. But, i gave in. Katniss is the main character in the Hunger Games. She has to compete against 23 others for her life. During the Games a turn of events takes place and she starts to fall for Peeta who comes from the same district. Well at the end some crazy stuff happens and the whole time i was in complete shock from how the book ended. But, Katniss is a badass. I can't wait to read the next two books!

MUST READ!

Paranormalcy By: Kiersten White

Feb. 15, 2011- Feb. 17, 2011

What a page turner! I was drawn to this book by the cover! Everyone knows the 3,30,3 rule of course. 3 seconds to catch a readers eye, 30 seconds to intrigue them and three minutes to capture them. Well, this book captured me. So different. Funny, thrilling, and romantic. The main character is this bad ass blonde who has a special "power" so that she can see through all paranormal creatures glamor. She is the only one that can do this so she works for paranormal peps that capture all the "bad guys". Her best friend is a mermaid, her transportation is by fairy, she fights with vampires and werewolves. If you like supernatural then you will like this book!

MUST HAVE!

Jan. 31, 2011- Feb. 3, 2011

Best book i have ever read! I had readers block for three days after this book because i could not stop thinking about how amazing it was! I changed my computer screen to the cover of this book!!! I also got a Tiger key chain and named it after Ren (Main character). But, i am now in love with Ren! The Tiger's Curse book is actually part of a five book saga!!!! This is going to be so fantastic! I am so jealous of Kelsey because she gets to spend so much time with this beautiful guy ugh i am jealous of a fictional character how awesome is that!

She makes some stupid choices and i had to walk away from the book at one point so i would not throw i across the room. Lol..

The Book of Spells by Kate Brian

Jan. 19, 2011- Jan. 26, 2011

What a page turner!!!! I have not read any of the Private series and this book has inspired me to add them to my library! Witch craft, friendship, tragedy, distrust. Anything that causes drama with a twist. Great book so fun and exciting to read.

Awakened (A House of Night Novel) By P.C. & Kristin Cast

Jan. 10, 2011- Jan. 19, 2011

I already can't wait till the nest book comes out in November! If you have read the house of night novels then you understand how cool they are. It is such a different take on the "vampire". I love it! The book is not all death and blood and killing people and such. It seems deeper. Makes you want to be apart of that world. I loved this book.

Safe Haven By Nicholas Sparks

Jan. 6, 2011- Jan. 10, 2011

What a beautiful book. When i finished this book i was still crying from how happy i was on how the book ended. This is a story of hurt, distrust, abuse, lust, love, guidance, re-Joice and family! Can i just say that Katie/Erin (Main character) is a straight up badass! I want to be just like her someday. You tell yourself all the time that love is real and that it is out there for everybody, you just have to find it. The way Sparks writes is just so passionate and i love him! Everyone of his books has brought me to tears. What an amazing book.

Last Sacrafice by Richelle Mead

Dec. 27, 2010- Jan. 6, 2011

Wow. I love the Vampire Academy series more than Twilight and everybody loves Twilight! This ending to the series could not have been written any better! Thrilling, romantic, comical, tragedy, hope, love, friendship.....  What a roller coaster ride! Richelle is a true artist. She knows how to make the reader feel rather then simply read. I recommend this book as a MUST HAVE! Along with the rest of the series of course. I would love to here others opinions on it!

Death's Excellent Vacation

By Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, and many more...
Dec. 9, 2010-Dec.27, 2010

I enjoyed reading all the short stories written by some of my favorite authors. The Sookie Stakehouse one was my favorite. I love books like this one because its full of authors you don't know! Great book. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for some great short stories with a little supernatural twist of course!

Misguided Angel by Melissa De La Cruz

Nov. 24, 2010- Dec. 9, 2010

Excitement is what i felt throughout the story this book guides me through. Must read!!!! If you have not read any of the Blue Bloods series yet them i am worried about you! Great series! And i can't wait till the next book comes out where Schylur and Jack do something "Forbidden"!!!! Plus, everybody loves to read about Mimi acting like a child!

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

Nov. 13, 2010-Nov. 24, 2010

I thought this book was wonderful! I absolutly loved "Hush,Hush" and i was really looking forward to reading "Crescendo". Ok, so you must know how hard it is to read a lot of books and then a sequel comes out from a book you had read awhile ago. Well, i always worry that i am not going to be able to remember what happened in the previous book, but then this book, in the first chapter took me right back to memory lane. It was great! Thrilling, romantic, devastating.... The forbidden love! It is the best kind and i think everybody loves reading about it!

The Vampire Diaries: Stefan's Diaries:Vol.1 By L.J.Smith

Read Nov.9, 2010-Nov.13, 2010

I am a huge fan of the Vampire Diaries series by L.J. Smith and when i heard that there were books coming out about the time period before the actual book series takes place. I have never been so excited! I always wanted to know what it was like for Stefan and Damon Salvatore when they first became vampires and how Katherine twisted everything. I was not disappointed when i read this book. Everything ties in to the series. Very Romantic, thrilling. Can't wait for the others to come!
