Book Review:Evernight

Evernight by Claudia Gray was suggested  by a friend who knew I was in a vampire phase. She told me that this time the girl was the vampire, which I found interesting because most of the books I have read the guy was the vamp. I liked this book, and even though I knew the heroine was a vampire when it actually happened it took me by surprise. The book keep me going until the end wondering what will happen next with her and her love interest Lucas, but also as usual the other guy Balthazar who the wise older yet very handsome vampire. Yet she has no interest in him. Lucas is not aware she is a vampire but he has a secret of his own that he is keeping from her.Her parents are vampires that by some miracle conceived her, one the few vampires babies that are born not made. Overall it is an intriguing book and currently I'm reading the second book in the series titled Stargazer.

Thirteen Reasons Why

I listened to this book by Jay Asher and all I can think is was it really that bad that she had to commit suicide. No, I don't think so after listening to the main character Hannah Baker, I have to disagree with her. None of the things that happened to her were extreme enough that she couldn't have dealt with it in some other way. There are people that have gone through the same things she did and dealt with it. People will talk about you no matter what, but that's all it is, talk.

Harry Potter Movie 6

I was amongst the fray of Potter fans at the midnight showing of Harry Potter. Before the movie even started I saw the golden snitch, Voldermort, Bellatrix and a number Hogwarts students. I see people take this movie to the extreme. There were so many people there that all 16 movie theatres were open to show the movie, WOW!! The movie I thought was cute and funny, except of course the part about Dumbledore. I found it interesting that the writers could make such a sad book, funny. My favorite scenes have to be of Ron Weasley and Harry, hilarious. Overall I really enjoyed the movie.

What am I reading NOW?

I am always reading something. At the moment I just finished the Summoning by Kelley Armstrong, and guess what it's another series. I will be starting the second book the Awakening soon, but I have homework and things to finish before I can truly delve into. Okay so not really, I love to read so I will find time to read a page or two. Anyhow this book was interesting, it also deals with the supernatural theme I seem to be fascinated with. The main character Chloe Saunders the heroine, of course can see ghosts and raise the dead. I usually get freaked out by stuff like this every since I read a scary book when I was younger, may have possibly been an R.L. Stine book, I used to love those. I don't even watch scary movies, so you count me out for horror nights. But this book drew me in and it intrigued me just a bit about how the character is dealing with the realization that she has this ability. In the beginning of the book we find her as a child seeing beheaded ghosts and one that has hung himself in the basement of her home, so her family moves and the story continues to her in high school and she had not had an episode in years, then all of a sudden she sees a ghost at school and freaks. Her family then sends her to this home for disturbed kids to help them get better. But what she finds there is truly interesting.

Blogging, Oh Boy

I thought the hardest thing about creating blog would be what to write about, at least that what I heard. But through my Information Technology class, I found that adding links and sometimes gadgets can be downright frustrating. I was challenged to make it work and through the stress, exhaustion and a few tears, I was able to make it work by sheer determination. I was not defeated because I refused to accept that there was no way to get it to work. That's a life lesson, I keep experiencing or telling my brothers and friends, NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT even if it's just good old Technology knocking you around.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

This is another movie I've been waiting to see about another series I had read and listened to. I was a little disappointed last year when the release date got pushed back for whatever reason. But now my wait is almost over. The movie are so well put together and follow the books well. I feel in love with these characters three times, in the books, the audios and the movies, and have enjoyed watching the actors grow through each one. On July 15th I will be among the fray of Harry Potter Fans in line at the movie theatre.
