How long has it been?

Over a month. The last time I posted was October 28th!!! So, since then, I'll post all the books I read every week since.

Nov/02-Nov/09

The Bermudez Triangle
Paper Towns

Nov/09-Nov/16

Sisters of Misery
The Blonde of the Joke

Nov/16-Nov/23

You Had Me At Halo
Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year

Nov/23-Nov/30

Invisible Touch

Nov/30-Dec/07

Secrets of My Suburban Life
3/4 Beautiful Americans

So, in total, I've read 8 books in November, averaging 2 books a week. Not bad I guess. In total, Invisible Touch by Kelly Parra was by FAR the best. Excellent. Paper Towns and Sisters of Misery were pretty great. You Had Me At Halo, The Blonde of the Joke, and The Bermudez Triangle were good but kind of boring. Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year was strange and good enough, and Secrets of My Suburban Life was REALLY predictable and shallow.

I'm reading Beautiful Americans by Lucy Silag and it's pretty good. It will be released in January. I also started BookSwim and just got my first batch of books from them, Pretty Face by Mary Hogan, Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, and Take Me There by Susane Colasanti. I also should by getting Willow by Julia Hoban soon and You Are So Undead To Me by Stacey Jay, and maybe a few other exciting ARC's!

Glad to be back!

Kelseyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hope (Dec. 2)

I'm actually remembering to cross-post this time! Yay!

Last weekend was Thanksgiving Break, so I didn't have school for five days! (Including weekend, of course. :D) I took advantage of this time and was a bookaholic. Well, more than usual. :)

I read:
1. Fahrenheit 451 (for school)
2. Cycler
3. Bite Me
4. The Second Virginity of Suzy Green
5. Revelations (Blue Bloods 3)

I enjoyed most of them. Cycler was a bit... interesting. But I'll save the rest of that one for the review. :p Fahrenheit 451 was okay. I was expecting it to be a bit better, but I just found it really s l o w a lot of the time.

Right now, I'm reading Moonstone by Marilee Brothers. And I'll probably pick up another one here soon because I can't read just one book at a time.

Reviews are coming up soon! I'm scheduling everything right now to make sure that they all get written while I'm thinking about it. :)

hope.

I miss reading a book every other day

bookloverreviews.blogspot.com

I am going to make a list... it will keep this post from getting too long.

1. Sovay by Celia Rees
2. Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith
3. Twenty Fragments of a Ravenous Youth by Xiaolu Guo
4. 1/3 of Untamed by P.C. and Kristen Cast

Those are the 3.3333333 books I've read this past week, and I am very happy because that's practically more than I read the entire month of September.

Sovay was good; not amazing, but not bad at all.

Tantalize was definitely interesting; I am glad I read it, because it was a different take on the whole vampire/werewolf thing. It was good; not great, but good.

Twenty Fragments... was a short book that I've had since summer that I hadn't gotten to yet, until this past week. And it was actually good. Everyone once in awhile I need something different than my usual, and this was definitely a good kind of different. For one thing, it was set in Beijing, and for another there were actual pictures in this book... not an abundance of them, but every so often there would be a picture thrown in among the text.

My favorite picture was the picture of the Chinese McDonald's. I work at McDonald's, and I also happened to be in McDonald's when I read that part... so I was mildly amused =D

Anyways, that was my reading week. I hope I'm not the only person who posts this week =(

Me and My Twilight Obsessed Friends...

So, as this is the week that Twilight finally comes out (EEKKKKK!) I think I should talk about that...

A bunch of my friends have read Twilight, and when we're around all our guy friends who haven't read it and we're swooning over Edward or saying that we want to throw Jacob off a cliff, they all look at us like we're crazy and say, "What's the big deal, anyway?"

.... {open, gaping mouths}
...

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?!

This is only one of the most addicting series' EVER, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

So, yes, we now ignore them and talk on. :p

Who's going to see the movie? Any thoughts on it?

I'm going on Friday, and I think it's going to be really good. :)

At least, I hope. :p

hope.

Twilight-tastic

Two Tuesdays in a row! Woohoo, I rock!

My reading week has actually been uneventful.

I started reading Sovay by Celia Rees, and I finally realized why I love her books so much: they always feature a strong leading female character. I love the Sovay, she is such an interesting and strong narrator. It seems like women are stereotypically weak, or dependent, and in her books that just isn't the case. Sovay is definitely not an exception.

I am about halfway through, but I put a pause on that to start reading Hairstyles of the Damned, which was recommended to me by the fabulous Stephanie Kuehnert. I got about twenty pages in that before I realized that there is less than a week before Twilight comes out (eeek!) and so I am now reading Twilight for the third time so it's fresh in my mind.

And can I just say how much I love it? I am 200 pages in and I just don't want to stop reading; I'll take breaks occasionally, just to stretch and get drinks. But then I'm back at it; I haven't read Twilight since New Moon came out, and I am really glad I'm reading it again. It's just as entertaining the third time 'round! =D

Of course, I'm dying for the movie. My school's book club is going to go see it as a group, so we've already pre-bought our tickets and everything. So on Friday at four we'll all be in the theater and getting ready to watch it. We all made Twilight T-shirts last week, and just today (which happens to be Monday, since I'm writing this ahead of time) my friend Sam and I decorated ours with beads and glitter paint and whatnot... it was great fun, and I'll definitely have pictures next week!

Anyways, that's my reading and whatnot... I hope someone else posts this week... I was lonely last week ='(

But I understand anyways!

Better Late Than Never

It's late, but I feel the need to post. I am one of the creators of this blog, and I haven't even posted in forever. I am ashamed =(

Anyways, this is what I've been reading.

City of Bones and City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. Can I say one of my new favorite series? Talk about an awesome story and some pretty awesome fantasy creatures. Shadowhunters... how fascinating. I think they are completely awesome (both the Shadowhunters and the books) and now I am dying to get my hands on City of Glass.

The Hunger Games by oh gosh who's the author... *brain fart* Anyways.... OMFG this book was amazing. By the first chapter I was hooked. There is something so interesting about futuristic worlds and strange scenarios... and just the images in this book were so vivid and scary... I couldn't put it down. My school librarian said that it would make a good movie... and I wholeheartedly agree. I'd go see it on opening night.

In related news... does anyone know anything about the second book? Anything at all?

Skinned by Robin Wasserman. Another futuristic world, extremely similar to the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, which I absolutely adored. This book is another one that I have a hard time putting down, and I am about fifty pages or so to the end... I plan on finishing tomorrow. Anyone read it? If you have, I would LOVE to talk about it... it's just one of those books that I need to talk about. So if you've read it please send an email (bookluverreviews@hotmail.com) or something, I'm desperate!

So that is my book-related news. My next book on the list is Twilight, which I'm going to reread for the third time before the movie comes out. After that, Sovay by Celia Rees (I adored her book Pirates, and also Witch Child and Sorceress)

Now that I am done sharing my thoughts (and seriously, please take me up on the email offer if you've read Skinned... or just go out and read it-- believe me, it's worth it-- and then email me. Either way works =P) I'm going to go get ready for bed, it's gonna be a long day tomorrow!

Yes, It's Wednesday. But Let's Pretend It's Tuesday.

So. I've been forgetting about this. :/ But I always remember the day afterwards, so I'm actually going to post today! Woot-Woot!

I'm somewhat getting back into my reading schedule and everything. . . I still haven't finished any books, but I've been getting further and further into Skinned, and I haven't gotten sick and tired of it yet. Yay!

So, that's pretty much it. haha. Why does nobody post here anymore? I love hearing about everyone's weeks! :)

hope.

I've Had A. . .

Reading lull.

Haven't read anything in the past few weeks. :(

Can't get into anything either. Nothing seems to grab my attention.

I'm slowly but surely making my way through Savvy Girl by Lynn Messina, though.

This sucksss guyssss!

I want to finish a book so bad, yet I can't.

Gr.

hope.

(Hopefully I'll see y'all on a better note next week. :p)

Hello? Anybody there?

I feel lonelllllly. I want to know what everybody else is reading....but nobody is herrrrrrre. Laaaa laaa laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.............................

Anyhow, I've read few books this past week:

1. I Know It's Over by C. K. Kelly Martin
2. Skin Deep by E. M. Crane
3. 1/2 of Paper Towns by John Green

So, yeah. Not much else though. Those books were all really good, different books that I both feel in love with. Both are very highly recommended. I Know It's Over is a very hard, emotional, and deep book with a light, airy feeling to it. The characters were amazing.

Skin Deep was a soft novel with a warm, comfy feeling to it that makes you feel all bubbly inside. It wasn't on a very big topic so the feeling and the writing of the novel and the characters were amazing. Think Joan Bauer except better.

This week I plan to finish Paper Towns (!!!), Sisters of Misery by Megan Kelley Hall, and maybe start The blonde of The Joke by Bennett Madison.

So, what's up with everyone else?
