10-28 Wings 16

Since I'm not that far in the book, I don't know much about it. It's probably about fairies. I wanna know what the actual plot line is. I predict that the main girl falls in love with the boy she just met and he ends up being all magical and stuff. I think that the writing style is a little immature for a highschooler. I feel it's meant for younger kids.Wings

10/28/13 - Croak - Pg. 88
Croak is a humorous book. The main character Lex has some serious anger issues and gets sent to her uncle's for the summer to help her straighten out. Upon arrival, she finds out that she gets to, erm, separate dead bodies from their souls. I'm definitely curious to see where it goes from this development.

10/28/13 Ranger's Apprentice-The Sorcerer of the North page 226
The castle lord has been poisoned and need help from Malkallam. Malkallam is a "sorcerer" who lives in the middle of the woods. Will, with help from his dog leads the castle lord and his secretary to Malkallam. They have just spotted his house but don't see him. There are creepy, misshapen things coming out of the woods-I have not yet discovered what they are or where Malkallam is.

28/10/13 City of Lost Souls 280

I really love this series, but to be completely honest it's getting a little tedious. Clary and Jace are still not together and it's been five books, granted the first couple they thought they were brother and sister, but still. And they're always looking for one thing or another. To be frank, it's getting a little annoying. But I really do want to see how this plays out.

10/28/13 The Time Keeper 92

So far I love this book. It is by Mitch Albom who is one of my favorite authors. The book goes from different characters all the time so it is confusing to understand, but that is the reason I keep reading it; so I can find out more about the characters.

October 28 Magician:Master Pg.154
When these books were first written the first two were one. It makes more sense to write it that way because the Magician:Apprentice was really boring until the last hundred pages. This one is much much better. The meat of the story has really started and I am loving it. The character's are relatable and three dimensional. The story is complex and takes some time to understand. I cannot see how the main characters are going to get back together and if they are all going to live.

10/28/13 Hamlet: 83 pages read
Its a rather confusing thing to read, but the plot is easy to follow, pretty much brother kills brother for throne, making the murder look like an accident, the son learns the truth from his fathers ghost, and plots revenge.

10-28 Mockingjay 220
The book hasn't been that great for me, It has been boring and I have wanted to switch but I have been trying to stick it out with this book to see if it is going to get any better but it's not so I might be switching to a different book. I'm sure it's a good book but it is just not for me.

Oct, 28, 2013-The Best of Me-137
I think that like all other books Nicholas Sparks has written, it is very well written. He definitely has a way with words. Each story is a story about love but each one has its own twist making each and everyone just as great as the last, and this novel is no exception.

entry#1
10-28-13 Starters 268
the book starters is good if you like action. its about a brother(tyler) he is 7 and his sister callie and she is 16. she needs money so she rents her body the rental goes wrong and she finds her renter planning an assassination. she runs away from the company called prime and is now and in and institution.

10/27/13 Looking for Alaska pg. 217
I really think that they should not have killed Alaska because her and miles where just starting to get closer and miles was in love with her. Right before she died she was with miles and they where making out and she said "to be continued" and then she fell asleep in his arms. Then out of no where she wakes him and the colonel up and tells them that she messed up and she had to get off campus and she need there help so they set off fire works by the head masters house and then she drove off campus and she was really drunk and then she got into a car accident and she died...

10-28 Divergent 238

I am almost half way through Divergent. It seems to be a little slow at the begining but the farther I go, more action seems to happen. It seems a little girly but it isnt too bad. I find it interesting because of how they classify people into groups by how they are as a person. Tris, the main character seems to have qualities of all the classes.

October 28, 2013 Allegiant Page 46

Evelyn the leader of the factionless gave Tris truth serum so she would admit she's a trader, but the truth serum doesn't work on her so she got away with the death penalty. Tobias told his mom that he broke up with Tris, so Evelyn thinks that he's on her side. Edward attempted to destroy the faction bowls but people who are still true to their factions rioted against him and everyone started beating eachother up until someone shot and killed Edward. Tris and Tobias agreed that they need to get outside of the fence after that.I love this series and I think I'm going to finish this book really fast. So far the book is really addicting.

10.28.13 Lucy in the sky. 141 pages

So far Lucy in the sky is pretty good. Its about a girl who goes to a party and starts doing drugs so she can make new friends. From what I can tell so far is that she is willing to do anything to keep these so called friends. The one question I have is why drugs? Did she not think she would become addicted and why didn't her brother do anything to stop her? My prediction is that she will probably overdose at one of the parties and no one will do anything to help her.

Oct. 28, 2013 Private Berlin 350

In my book there is an FBI like agency that is called Private Berlin. There have recently been a series of murders all over Berlin. One of them being an agent that was working at Private. He had asked for some time off and when they hadn't heard from him in a while they decided to activate the chip in his back to locate him. They find his chip in a rats mouth in an old slaughterhouse and begin to pursue the search for him. They soon find his dead body in the undergrounds of the slaughterhouse along with a woman's body. After they find his body there starts to be murders all over Berlin that haven't figured out yet.

Relic Master by Catherine Fisher

The Relic Master is a fantasy book about religious based sorcerers being blackmailed into solving a dwarf named Alberic's quest for him. Now they are traveling to the city of Tasceron.

The book I'm reading is about a defense attorney who moves to Spring Lake for a different job. The first week she's there four murder victims are found;Two are from the 1890s and two are from less than five years ago. The detectives are clueless, and there is still another person from the 1890s that they suspect was also murdered which means someone else is going to be murdered in a matter of days.

10/28/13 Hunted 184
So far in hunted the main character,zoey, had her usual BF trouble.She has had it b/t her ex,Heath, and new and old BF Erik. Other than that she is still a little hurt and now she is looking to get out of the House of Night, and back 2 safety.

Just One Day I just finished this and I enjoyed it very much. The book is from the girls perspective and is a very good read. Just one year is from the guys perspective and I'm in the process of reading it. Gayle Forman is a very good author and I'm running out of books by her to read.

10-28 Where She Went 87
Where She Went is the second book to If I Stay. Where She Went talks about what happened to Mia and Adam, Mia's boyfriend after Mia finds out her family has died in a horrible car accident.

10/28/13 Hush Hush Pg.167
Among my current book that I'm reading, this book is about an angel coming down to earth because he lost his wings for making love to a mortal women. Since he came down to earth he is known as the name "Patch". Patch looks like a teenage boy that goes to a school named "Coldwater High". When he currently goes to this school he meets a girl named "Vee". Something brings his interest to her and tries to study her the best way he can. Throughout the book, Vee has feelings for Patch but doesn't show it much as if she is confused.

I finished "Paper Towns", by John Green, about two weeks ago, and I would give it about 3.5 stars. It started off very interesting, however it started to slow down after the first few chapters. I was not a huge fan about how the ending...ended, but I guess there really weren't any other ways to leave it off. If you are a high school Senior, I would recommend this book because it does give a sense of nostalgia for the past four years. I will also add that it changed my perspective on how to finish off my last year of high school.

Isn't Divergent the greatest ever? I really do like the entire book and plot line. What do you think of Tris and how she's taking her life and making it into something?

Tanys and mom read that. I ran out of time... :( As far as I heard it was really good. I need to remember to get it and read it soon.

I completely agree with that. I think that Clare should have just ended the books after the first trilogy like she had originally planned. As a side note, who do you think was the better villain, Sebastian or Valentine?

Don't you hate that?! Plus Jace isn't Jace anymore. I wish that Cassandra Clare would have just left Clary and Jace alone and picked on some other couple. They already went through so much. Why did she feel it was necessary to put them through more crap?

I haven't read this book yet but I would like to. I think it is more a book for girls rather than guys just because it's about a girl who is trying to survive for herself and for her district. I am very excited to for the movie to come out because I loved the first movie.

I'm gonna bet the book "Wings" is about fairies, but I'm curious as to if it's a dramatic fairy story like "Wicked Lovely" or something a little more Disney-d

How do they rent the bodies, and how much money does she get.How dose she get the person rent her body out of her. Does she stop the assassination?

What types of book does he write? I've heard a bit about this book and was interested in possibly reading it.

I found it to be a little slow, I enjoyed the action in it. I'm not a girl but I still liked it.

Well when you read a Shakespeare book you have to be prepared to learn new and unique things.

Is this an easy read? Also it does make me wonder why no one stopped her or she wasn't smart enough to know she might become addicted.

Only if the reader is up for a difficult, slow read to start and can maintain multiple story lines at once.

For the most part. The book is not over with yet, but her temper has definitely become easier for her to control.

Its a very good book and I would recommend you reading it. It really goes into detail as a high school student.

The attorney almost got murdered because this serial killer tricked people into thinking that one of the two other girls he murdered was supposed to be the one to go with the last girl from the 1890s.
