Following book: None -
Worth it? 3/3
My Recommendation: For lovers of Elizabeth Scott and other writers like Sarah Dessen. It's a really good coming of age - drama for teens.
My Thoughts:
The first thing i must say is that this book is so much better than "perfect you". It's more my style and not so kissy with no emotion. It actually had substance of growing ad some unusual not typical event is in a teenage girls life. It was real and Hannah was real and her feelings were relatable to a degree. Elizabeth Scott did a great job on this book and i am really satisfied and more after reading this story. For me it was addicting and i just wanted to know what would happen next.
The characters were really good and understandable. Great mystery's behind them and you want to know their story.
The story is heartbreaking in terms of sad but not sad sad depressing. (if you read it you'll understand.) It also glows with some light as the book goes on. It's my kind of YA story that is a young adult story of a girl with romance in it (or what ever you'd like to call it), but it doesn't make the book sill or unnecessary (like "perfect you" was sometimes to silly and not really real.) It's both fun and emotional. I think it is a better book of Elizabeth Scott and it gives her more diversity.

Plot:
Everyone thinks their parents are embarrassing, but Hannah knows she's got them all beat. Her dad made a fortune showcasing photo's of pretty girls and his "party" lifestyle all over the Internet, and her mom was once one of her dad's girlfriends and is now the star of her own website. After getting the wrong kind of attention for way too long, Hannah has mastered the art of staying under the radar . . . . . and that's just how she likes it. Of course, that doesn't help her get noticed by her crush. Hannah's sure that gorgeous, confident Josh is her soul mate, but between trying to get him to notice her, wondering why she suddenly can't stop thinking about her coworker Finn, and dealing with her parents, Hannah feels like she's going crazy. But she's determined to make things work out the way she wants - only what she wants may not be what she needs . . .

Basic Rating: 3/5 and a half
Characters: 4/5
Story: 3/5
Setting: 4/5
Cover: 4/5
My Copy: Hyperlon Hardcover
Following: Only the good spy young (book #4)
Worth it? 2/3 or 3/3

My Recommendation: For readers and lovers of the Gallagher girl series and for readers who are looking for a new series to get into. (but if you are interested start with the first book)

My Thoughts:

I am really happy with this book. I again thought the characters were really great and the setting and feel of the story was really cool. I like even now the feel of the places being described and the look in my head as i picture it. My rating isn't as high as the two books before this because i really loved those two better but i did like this book a lot. The story was really mysterious and different and i thought that was planned out good. I just really can't see myself feeling into the whole Zach and Cammie relationship. Once being brought to her first boyfriend i can't just switch over to Zach. So I'm not liking that area of things, but i must admit i am trying to like Zach more. I can't wait to see what is going to happen in the next book - i am clueless to what is going to happen. I really like how Ally Carter writes - her style is cool. So that is what i have to say about this book, check it out if you are interested.

Plot: When Cammie "the Chameleon" Morgan visits her roommate Macey in Boston, she thinks she's in for an exciting end to her summer break. After all, she's there to watch Macey's father accept the nomination for Vice Resident of the United States. but when you go to the world's best school (for spies), "exciting" and "deadly"are never far apart. Cammie and Macey soon find themselves trapped in a kidnappers' plot, with only their espionage skills to save them. As her junior year begins, Cammie can't shake the memory of what happened in Boston, and even the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women doesn't feel like the safe haven it once did. Shocking secrets and old flames seem to lurk around every one one of the mansion's corners as Cammie and her friends struggle to answer the questions Who is after Macey? And how can the Gallagher Girls keep her safe?

Soon Cammie is joining Bex and Liz as Macey's private security team on the Campaign trail. The girls must use their spy training at every turn as the stakes are raised, and Cammie gets closer and closer to the shocking truth. . . . .

Yet To Read: Apollo 23

Yet To Read: Is about a book that i have not read yet but believe me i really want to. It is me sharing what is on my wish list and reading list. This book description is from Amazon.com

Title: Doctor who: Apollo 23

Author: Justin Richards

Pages: 256

Science Fiction

Publishers: BBC Books ( Out on April 22, 2010)

Amazon Price List Price: $11.99

Price: $8.09

Plot:'For a few moments this afternoon, it rained on the moon'. An astronaut in full spacesuit appears out of thin air in a busy shopping centre. Maybe it's a publicity stunt. A photo shows a well-dressed woman in a red coat lying dead at the edge of a crater on the dark side of the moon - beside her beloved dog 'Poochie'. Maybe it's a hoax. But as the Doctor and Amy find out, these are just minor events in a sinister plan to take over every human being on earth. The plot centres on a secret military base on the moon - that's where Amy and the TARDIS are. The Doctor is back on Earth, and without the TARDIS there's no way he can get to the moon to save Amy and defeat the aliens. Or is there? The Doctor discovers one last great secret that could save humanity: Apollo 23.

Why? The book sounds really good and i am interested to see what this new doctor will be like in print.

Basic Rating: 4/5

Characters: 3/5 (great characters)

Plot: 4/5

Cover: 3/5 and a half

Worth it? either paper or hardcover

My Recommendation: For readers who are looking for a good laugh and a sense of humor, a fabby story and something really easy to get into.

My Thoughts: I'm so happy with this book and the whole series. Again i loved Georgia and her way of describing her life. Louise Rennison really has a very goofy sense of humor and a special way that she See's things through Georgia. This book is just a really nice story to read and it will make you laugh. It's good to read if your looking for something like that. I think we can all relate to Georgia, in the largest way or even just a small way. She's goofy and at the same time lovable. For girls, she's the typical teenage girl - in a none typical way. Her mum always cracks me up, how she's just so disconnected from her daughter, but we all know she loves her. And her sister Libby is Hillary! - she has some little girl problems that are normal. So i thought this follow up was perfect for "Angus-" and I'm just so happy how the story is progressing and i can't wait to read more of the books in this series.

Plot: Georgia Nicolson is dating the Sex God so life should be perfect . . . . . . except in Georgia's life, nothing is ever Perfect. Her cat, Angus, is terrorizing the neighborhood. Her sister, Libby (who is slightly Mad), hides her pooey knickers at the bottom of Georgia's bed. Then the Sex God breaks it off because she's too young. It's time for Georgia to become a heartless boy magnet.

"Boy's are different from girls. Girls like to be cozy all the time but boys don't. First of all they like to get all close to you like a coiled-up rubber band, but after a while they get fed up with being too coiled and need to stretch away to their full stretchiness. Then, after a bit of on -their-own stretchy, they ping back to be close to you."

Page: 127

"Thinking about the difference between girls and boys. For instance, when girls walk home we put on lippy and makeup. We chat. Sometimes we pretend to be hunchbacks. But that is it. Perfectly normal behavior. When the Foxwood boys come out they hit each other, trip one another up, and stuff leaves or caps down each others trousers."

Pages: 205
"Am i really horrible? Perhaps i am one of those people who don't really feel things properly, like Madona."

Following book: "On the bright side, I'm now the girlfriend of a sex god" USA copy

or UK "It's OK, I'm wearing really big knickers"

Worth it? 2/3 or 3/3 ( i would buy hardcover.)

My Recommendation: For people who like a comical genius an for fun light weighty matters. And above all for readers who love YA Comedy.

My Thoughts: This book is such a laugh. It was just real (in more of a comical way) and funny. Their was just girl topic's that real girls think about. It was light with relatable matters. I could relate to somethings and it was so hilarious to see it put into words. Georgia is very amusing and funny. She is a bit selfish and sometimes too vain, but she's a great character. We are all at times selfish and vain so that is relatable. The other characters just fit in perfectly and i like that a lot. It is different than the movie - "Angus thongs and perfect snogging" - but i think it does have to be when you combine two books together. The setting is very ace - i love Eastborne England and i thought that was brilliant. It's a diary and i normally don't go for diary's but i wanted to try this book out and i am really glad i did. It's a great book - lots of snogging, but the great thing about it is that it's clean and great fun. Related a lot to the movie that got me into the book. I can't wait to read the following book.

Plot: Georgia Nicolson's life is far from simple. Her cat, Angus, is the size of a small Labrador. Her three-year-old sister may have peed somewhere in her room. And her best friend, Jas, thinks she looks like an alien just because she accidentally shaved off her eyebrows. Enter the Sex God. This just might turn out to be the most fabbity fab year ever!

Writer: Mark Gatiss
Starring: Matt Smith (The Doctor) and Karen Gillan (Amy Pond)
Plot:

The TARDIS materialises in the Cabinet War Rooms during the Second World War, one month after Winston Churchill (Ian McNeice) called for help. Soon they find that trouble has come their way and the doctor must find out who is with him or against him.

The Eleventh Hour Season 5 Episode 1 (5.01)

I give this episode 4.5
I loved it!!! It was brilliant and very cool! I was worried about how Matt Smith would take over the role of the doctor. The End of time was very dramatic and emotional and it was sad to see David Tennant leave, but i don't feel like Matt S is replacing him its just that the show is moving on and living in a whole new way. Its a whole new doctor and new show i think. Not only has the doctor changed, the writers, the companion, the TARDIS, the screw driver, and the doctors taste in clothes and food. This episode was such a laugh and very entertaining, i loved watching it and it got me very much excited for ever single new episodes.
Great job

The door of opportunity swings open, and Hortense is married and on her way to the promised land of post-war Britain. Steadfast dreams are soon tested by hard realities as Hortense and her husband Gilbert (David Oyelowo) face racism and poverty. In the small-minded country, their only saving grace is Queenie (Ruth Wilson, Jane Eyre).

Anne Frank

This is a little late but i wanted to have a small review of Anne Frank.
I watched it on a Sunday and i was really surprised by how much i really liked it. The movie i am told is one of the most accurate that has been made. That is pretty cool i must admit. The actors were really good and i loved the way the story was being told. Like a diary but still a movie. I really liked it and i recommend it to movie lovers, History lovers, and lovers of a good drama.

Yet To Read: Gone

Yet To Read is about a book that i have not read before but YES do i want to! Defiantly on my wish list!

Title: Gone (book 3)

Author: Lisa Mcmann

Pages: 224

YA- Science Fiction

Published: February 9, 2010

plot:

Not going to add it because of spoilers!

And Why i want to read it? I love the series!

The Last Song (2010)

Title: The Last Song
Year: 2010 (March)
Rating: PG
Director: Julie Anne Robinson
Writers: Nicholas Sparks (Screenplay and Novel) and Jeff Van Wie (Screenplay)
Actors: Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear, Bobby Coleman, Liam Hemsworth, and Kelly Preston.

My Rating: 4/5
My Thoughts: I went to see this movie yesterday with my sister and her friend. I have (had) been wanting to see it since they started playing the previews on t.v. I am not against Miley Cyrus, i know some people LOVE or HATE her. I am neither, i love some things she does and i don't care for others. To start i really liked this movie and it really got me more wanting to read the book. I love the story line from Sparks. I thought it was a good movie and i thought the acting was really good. The characters were great and i must say the scenery was really Beautiful!!!!
Miley Cyrus totally surprised me with this film and i really liked her in it - it's much different then her Disney show and i thought her character portrayal completely different (except for the music part) from her real image. The story made me shed tears, i thought it was sad but not too too sad. Some things just make me sad. Well i won't say more on that because i do not want to spoil. But we all must know that Nicholas Spark's movies have never not once been not sad. That is i think a fact. They are not all bawl your eye's out sad but you must feel sad at least once during the movie to be watching a Spark's movie.

Well thank you for listening me go on - and on,

YA Science Fiction
Book Following: Gone (book 3)

Basic Rating: 3/5 and a half (meaning i really liked it!)

Plot: 3/5!

Setting: 3/5

Characters: 4/5

Cover: Cover is so cool!

My Copy: Simon Pulse

My Recommendation: For fans of Lisa McMann and for people looking for a cool new series to get into. I recommend this book to older Teens.

My Thoughts:

This sequel to Wake was really good. I must say that i really liked it. The books plot and story was just great - the story line was addicting. The characters old and new were once again great and i really like Janie and Cabel still. (Love em!) The cover i thought is very cool - i totally get it now. I didn't before, i just thought it was cool and now i am beating myself over it, how could i not understand it! The book was addictive but not exactly as drama pact as the plot description on the back of the book - they never really are. I didn't like some parts in this book as i found somethings unnecessary. Some parts unnecessary. I didn't like all the swearing. It wasn't crazy bad, but it was to much for me. I don't like when there is swearing in books - sort of ruins it a little for me and i know for some other people too. But again i liked how it was written - the style was unique and impressive. I thought the whole realization of our lead character - Janie's - future was dim and Grim. Not exactly happy with it, but i hope it doesn't end bitterly in the 3rd book. During the end of this book it was getting more depressing for her, though it did turn around a little not completely turning happy it did though end on a happier note - i won't say any more about that. I am happy with this book and i am excited for the 3rd book - Gone.

Plot: Some Nightmares Never End.

For Janie and Cabel, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. They're just trying to carve out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck. Disturbing things are happening at Fieldrige High, yet no body's talking. When Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open - but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie's in way over her head, and Cabe's shocking behavior has grave consequences for them both. Worse yet, Janie learns the truth about herself and her ability - and it's bleak. Seriously, brutally bleak. Not only is her fate as a dream catcher sealed, but what's to come is way darker than she'd even feared. . . . .

Thanks Bostan~
