Wings

So i caught the Swine Flu. Yuck. I am not having fun with this. I can not stop coughing! So because i am ill and i find myself without any books because I owe my library about $18 and i am not allowed to get new books till i pay the library which i havent gotten around to doing. :( So instead of reading i am going to tell you about some of the books I read this summer. The first is Wings by Aprilynne Pike.

Wings in about a girl named Laural who just moved to a new town with her parents. She has been home schooled her whole life and now having to go to a public school scares her a little bit. Laural is just a little different then the kids at her new school. She hates being inside. It makes her feel gloomy. She is a vegan because all other foods make her feel sick. Laural also looks a little different and acts a little different. She is graceful like a dancer and is slender and beautiful like a model.

When she starts her new school she makes a few friends and meets a guy she start to fall for, David. They start hanging out more and she finally starts to fit in. One day she notices she has a strange bump on her back between her shoulders. Days go by and it gets bigger. Then one day out of the bump sprouts petals! The look kinda like wings and Laural realizes she isn't human. She's a faerie!

With Davids help she starts to figure out what she is and why she is a faerie. I won't spoil the end but it was a pretty good book. I really liked reading it and i finished it in a day.

But i found out TRAGIC news. Disney has bought the rights to make it a movie and *sniff sniff* they have asked *sniff sniff* Miley Cyrus to play Laural. *throws up*. I hope that wont keep you from reading the book cause it really was pretty good. :)

Sorry!!

Hahah I'm sorry but I couldn't resist putting up the New Moon Movie count down clock. Don't worry, it will be down when the movie is released but i just had to put it up. :) All those wishing to conplain may do so in the comments section below. <3

Well randomly looking up my favorite book series online seeing if they are making a movie about any i just for the check of it check out the Bloody Jack website and saw that the newest book came out TODAY! * SCREAMS! * I love these books.!

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

A while ago i told you all about a book that i LOVED. It was The Hunger Games. Apparently no one read it or wanted to read it. This made me quite sad. Sam turned down the book flat when i handed it to her months ago. Well it pleases me to say that after i bought the book and i retold Sam what the story was about she read it and LOVED IT! Also after telling other people about the book they really wanted to read it. The Hunger Games was AMAZING! But Catching Fire has really taken this trilogy to a whole new level. I was in shock when i read this sequel. I have never read ANYTHING remotely close to this book series. I really can't tell you much about the book because if you avent read the book before this then anything i say will be a spoiler but i will tell you this, you must read The Hunger Games. It is such a powerful book. I really loved this book. I read it in just a few hours. I couldn't put it down and now that i have i want to pick it up again! Books are the best addiction ever!

Back to School BLA!

OK well we are now well into September and yes unfortunately school as well. I have only 4 classes this semester so i have much time for reading but i have a dilemma! I need books! So if anyone has any book suggestions please share them in the comments section! I really need some new books! I read a lot this summer but i have to rack my brain to remember what i read!!! In a few days i should have at least 1 new post! Well hope everyones school year is a good one! God Bless and have a good day!!!!

Bloody Jack by L.A. Meyer

OK so I've been so busy and my computers been crappy so i haven't posted any reviews even though i have been reading but good news! My school wants our laptops back and they are sending us new ones! :D So yay! My computer wont even connect to Word anymore so I'm really happy about getting a new one. 

 OK! So in preparation for the cruise i took a week ago I wanted to read some ocean related books and i picked up one of my favorites. Bloody Jack. I found this book while in Jamestown, Virginia (old Jamestown) on vacation and in the gift shop they have a bunch of books about pirates and this one stuck out to me. I didn't know what it was about but i bought it and loved it. It's now my favorite series. 

  The book is about this girl named Mary Faber who is an orphan living in England like 25 years after the Revolution. She does not know how old she is but she guesses she is at least 12. She runs with a gang and one day when the gang leader dies she is so upset and scared about dyeing herself, she steals his clothes and dresses in them. Suddenly people think she is a boy. She sees that people treat her differently then they would if they knew she was a girl so she decides to do something she has wanted to do for a long time, leave the smelly streets of London for adventure on the High Seas. 

 She gets on a ship called the Dolphin and says she's 10 years old and that her name is Jacky and they take her on as a ships boy.  While she in on the ship she starts to fall for one of the other ships boys which is really bad for her because she is trying really hard to pretend to be a boy and that's not going to help. Lol 

  Jacky gets into a lot of trouble throughout the series. I really love the books but be warned. there are innuendos and she hang out around a bunch of sailors so expect crude humor and language.  There are 6 books so far but there are two more on the way and probably more. I rate this all 7 cupcakes!!!!!! :D 

p.s. Sorry the picture is so big! I'm on my moms Mac and I have no idea how to make the picture smaller!
