Cassandra Clare

It took me till eleven but I finished it. The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare was...interesting. I'll be honest, I didn't love it (than again, it's only the first book and I've heard the series gets better) All in all, it was very well written.

I did like, however, the fact that Clarissa Fray, Clary, was obviously human. That may seem weird but I liked the fact that she wasn't suddenly some bad a character. I'd say to read it. It's defiantly worth your time.

Since we all have better things to do....

So, I know that I've posted a lot this week; I just don't care. I'm gonna do this one anyway. Honestly, I'm just really happy and I need to just let it out on paper. Whether or not this ends up in one of my books, who's to say. Enjoy :D 

Kelsee sighed, her patience growing thin.Her fists trembled at her sides, and it took her whole willpower not to scream. 

"Just, go," she managed, "I don't need this right now," 

"Kelsee," Will pleaded, his voice cracking ever so slightly, "Hear me out!" 

Sending a catty glare his way, Rachel grabbed Kelsee by her shoulders, attempting to steer her away. 

"NO!" Will lunged forward, "I'm not going to let it end like this," his fingers clasped around Kelsee's wrist, tugging her away from her friend. Stumbling, she fell into his embrace. Will held her, submerging his face in her blonde locks, "Don't leave me," he whispered, so quietly that she could feel his breath tickling her ear. 

Unable to resist, Kelsee threw her arms around his waist, the way she'd wanted to for weeks on end, pulling him even closer, "I won't," she said, "I promise." And that's when the tears came.

Suzanne Selfors

We all like a good fictional story about, none other than, chocolate, with a nice romance on the side, right? I thought so or else, you would have stopped reading at that point :D. Okay, this one is called The Sweetest Spell by Suzanne Selfors. 

I really enjoyed this. It's about 400 pages, give or take, and I finished it in one day so that's gotta count for something. The main characters are very likable and I fell in love, yet again, with a couple of said characters. 

It's a good book if you're looking for something interesting and easy.

John Green

I'm still crying from this book. The Fault in Our Stars  by John Green is the true meaning of life. (Just because it's what I note, there is some heavy cursing in here) But besides that it was beyond amazing. You truly never know quite what you have until it's gone. 

I think that's all that needs to be said.

Cat Patrick

Forgotten by Cat Patrick. This book...this book (that is my exasperated voice) Honestly, this book frustrated me. In a good way. I liked how well the author stuck to the concept (and this is just what I got out of it) we may not want something or be the person we are but that person you see everyday in the mirror is you. Deal with it. Make the most of it. Be it.

Very nice. Frustrating; but nice.

Richard Paul Evans...again

This series will never cease to amaze me. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to present Michael Vey: Battle of the Ampere by Richard Paul Evans. To any who have not read this series; READ IT! That is not merely a suggestion, that is an order. 

I loved this one, though I'm not afraid to admit that I cried like a child. It's sad, funny, exhilarating and just plain awesome. What are you doing here? You have books calling you! :D

Markus Zusak

Beautiful.

Word cannot describe how I feel about this book; but I'll try my best.

Picture something terrible. Something that awakes the whole world to the reality of death, fear, blood, and most of all, the ability to love despite the brutality going on around you. If you can picture this, you have only the slightest hint of emotions I uncovered while reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

World War 2 was a horrifying time for all who were involved. Which was everyone, everywhere. This book brings us deep into the center of Nazi, Germany and takes us on an adventure that is truly life changing.

Never before have I read a book from Death's view. (Apologizes to any who have written from Death's perspective) but I doubt anyone could have madeDeath so lifelike, so human yet so obviously supernatural.

This book is unique. It deserves whatever awards it's received and more. I encourage EVERYONE to read it. I'm not kidding when I say it will change your life, how you view death, love and even the words that make up our world.

The Book Thief is beauty in the midst of brutality.

"I have hated words and

I have loved them,

and I hope I have made them right." 

-The Book Thief (Pg. 528)
