OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OK so i just put up a blog post a few weeks ago (OK maybe months) about a book series I love called The Adventures of Bloody Jack. 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.! My second favorite series after The Hunger Games trilogy! :D So Anyway just wanted you all to know how crazy excited i am for this new book and i can't wait to read it! Maybe i can convnce my parents to take me to the book store tonight. If they do i am 99.9% sure you will be a post about it tomorrow! :D God Bless!!!

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!

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! 

The Tales of Beedle The Barb

OK so If you have read the last Harry Potter book then the title of this post moslt likely looks familiar. If you haven't read the last Harry Potter book The Tales of Beedle The Bard are a collection of "wizard fairy tales". Supposedly these are the fairy tales wizard children grew up listing to and J.K. Rowling went and wrote all these fairly tales down so its now a real book. There are short fairy tale stories in it like The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, The Warlocks Hairy Heart, Babbitty Rabbity and Her Cackaling Stump and The Tale of The Tree Brothers. Now if your not a fan of Harry Potter, that's okay! You can still read these without a knowledge of the Harry Potter world and it's characters. What I love most is that each of the fairy tales has a moral that is separate from magic and most of them are how about magic can actually ruin your life. I thought the fairy tales were cute and well written and they could def become classics. My favorite was the Fountain of Fair Fortune because three witches travelled to this fountain thinking that the fountain would grant them their heart's desires but on the journey they find what they really were searching for. So in the end, magic was not needed and, you guessed it, they all lived happily ever after.

I thought it was really cute how Dumbledore would "explain" the "origins" of the story and about the wizard or witch who it was based on. It was a charming addition (don't I sound smartical) to an already lovely tale.

Even if you aren't a fan of Harry Potter, you simply must read this book! It was really, really good and I loved it. And so will you! I hope. -crosses fingers-

p.s. J.K. Rowling did all the illustrations in the book. Plus if you buy the book a certain amount of the money goes to a children's organization called Comic Relief

The Fortunes of Indigo Skye

OK and now here is my SECOND guest reviewer! All the way from...Pennsylvania, Its KATIE MACDONALD! :)

The Fortunes of Indigo Skye by Deb Caletti. From normal to millionaire... in a second. That's what happens to 17 year old Indigo Skye in this book.
She's just a normal girl who works at a comfy, small town cafe where everyone knows each other. She
has a dear family, a boyfriend who loves her, and friends at school. She's happy. But her life turns upside down when a grateful customer gives her 2.5 million dollar tip for her kindness.
Overnight, everything seems to change. Ipods, TVs, cell phones, cars; she can have almost anything she wants, right at her finger tips. But is she really happy? Will the money give her what she really wants in life?
This book isn't super deep, but it's a great pick up and read it, and it's an easy page turner. I found it on ALA's top recommended books for teens list. Aside from some language, it was an appropriate. I enjoyed it alot!
Hope you do to.
