What's Up?

Okay, I actually finished The Pledge (I don't know who it's by and I'm too lazy to go check)
It was really good, but it had a little bit of violence in it (which I think is awesome) and a little touch of romance (which is my weakness). It was a REALLY good read and I'm probably going to obsess about it and read it until I have it practically memorized (which is what I do when I LOVE a book).


Okay, new topic...
There is this awesome contest  going on right now. It's so awesome I probably shouldn't be blogging about it because you could win because of me and I want to win.
Anyways, the winner gets 25 signed copies of books (I'm not going to name them because that would take FOREVER! Anyways, the home page is...
YA Scavenger Hunt

(by the way, there are two teams. I finished the blue team one because one of the books that you win is Opal, and I NEED to read that book. The other one is the red team)

Yep, that's pretty much it for now.
OH YEAH! Right now I'm actually going to completely read Deep Blue Secret. I'm DETERMINED to actually finish it this time. It's not that it's bad (because it's actually really good) but I've had other books that were more demanding.


Thank you for listening to me obsess and ramble.
Bye

Hey Peoples of the Internet!

Okay, guess what? I FINALLY FINISHED FINALE!!!!!!!!! (by Becca Fitzpatrick)
I have waited since a week before it came out (September? I think) and I waited to read it. It was technically all thanks to one of my best friends (Grace) that I even got to read the Hush, Hush series (which was one of the best series I've ever read) and I owe her big-time now.
Now, I've also got other good news.
The Pledge (I don't know who it's by)--its price was lowered 6 bucks! I bought it immediately. Now I still have...
  1. The Pledge
  2. Deep Blue Secret (yes, I haven't read it yet--I've been reading other stuff)
  3. Throne of Glass (it recently came in at my library, so now I FINALLY get to read it)
Yeah, I'm gonna be busy for a while (so I'll probably ignore the urge to get on my blog).

Sorry for my absence, and--like I mentioned already--sorry if I'm not on for a few days--a week at the most.

Thank you for your time.
Bye

Hey Peoples! I'm Baaaack!

What's up peoples? Did you miss me? I hope so.

Okay, so I've read 3 out of the 5 books so far, so now all I have left to read during break is
  • Hate That Cat
  • Deep Blue Secret
Then, after that, I'm out of books! I'll be fine, though. I have enough to last me until tomorrow and then Monday I'll get something at the library.

So...the series I just finished had three books in it
  1. Exsistence
  2. Predestined
  3. Ceaseless
It was pretty good, but not something I'll ever read again. It had an interesting story to it, but I'm just gonna reread my favorites from my Nook.

Real quick! I just found out there is an Opal giveaway! How awesome is that!? You just go to jenniferarmentrout.com and click on blog and read the post! Then you just follow the directions to enter!

Gotta go! I'll talk to y'all later!

Thank you for your time. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving! I also hope you all can think of something to be thankful for because there are a lot of things  right now to say.
I won't be writing for a few days, so sorry about that.

I'm now reading a book called Existence. How cool of a title is that? The book is pretty good so far, and I'll probably be done with it by this afternoon. I will say there are a few things that I don't really like about it, but what book is completely perfect? Every book that I've ever finished has had something I wish I could change.

Thank you for your time.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm Bored

We have to do this book report thing at school and it's really annoying. I have nothing against our teacher, it's just kind of annoying to have to do the stupid report.
I guess I'd be perfectly fine with it if all we had to do was do a summary--because that would be easy. But no, we have this whole list to choose from, but all of them seem silly and hard. I just think it would be confusing, and in the choices, describing the book is kind of difficult to do while you're meeting the requirements.
Whatever, I'm rambling.

Okay, right now I'm trying to read five books at once. It's probably going to take me the whole Thanksgiving Break at the rate I'm going.
I'm trying to read:
  • Hate That Cat
  • Existence
  • Predestined
  • Ceaseless
  • Deep Blue Secret
The middle three are part of a series, and I have 14 days to read them since they are all Lend Me books. Deep Blue Secret is a Nook book that I bought today and Hate That Cat is a library book. So Deep Blue Secret is the one I'm probably going to read last, since I'm the one that owns it.

Anyways...So how's everybody's day goin? The longer I'm working on this, the longer I can delay my book report. Not that I'm ever a protagonist.

Hey Peoples!

So, 2 of my best friends of all time have followed my example and created blogs! How cool is that!? Okay, I'm gonna give you the links and names in case you want to see theirs...

Bailey's is called Caution: confusion is afoot   and the link to that is dollopofaeriedust.blogspot.com

Candycorn's new blog is called Anime Fluff   and the link is animefluff.blogspot.com

Candycorn's talks about anime--of course. Bailey's talks about....she hasn't decided, I don't think, so it could really be anything, knowing her.

Thank you for your time.

Another Post From Me...I'm getting so original with titles, huh?

Are you guys getting tired of me yet? I really wanted to talk about some stuff, and I really didn't want to have to wait until tomorrow, so I'm just gonna post it now.

Have any of you ever read Rock and a Hard Place? The one that's under Cool Book Covers? I read it for the first time two weeks ago, and now I've read it enough to know almost every single detail. I only reread books that much that are really good.
The whole story is about a girl--Libby--who's mom died and was abandoned by her dad to live with her crazy aunt--Marge. One day, Libby is sitting under a tree in a nature presserve near the house when a giant tour bus pulls in. Turns out, the nationally--and pretty much internationally--famous band called Jamieson--three teenage boys, Garrett, Peter, and Adam. Libby and Peter meet unexpectedly a few times and then they start a long distance relationship. Blah, blah, blah...Peter's family hates it that he's always on the phone with Libby and thinks that she's distracting him, so they stage an intervention. Long story short, something happens and Libby is gone. Will Peter ever find her?
It was soooooooo gooooooood! I really liked it!
The second book Snapshot sucked, by the way. Do NOT buy it unless you know completely what you're buying. It is not meant for kids, like, fifteen and below. BELIEVE ME! Nothing against the author, who I think did an awesome job with Rock and a Hard Place.

For those of you reading this...what's your favorite book? If you can't choose, then pick a top three or a top five. I'm curious. I'll even post my top five favorite books after at least 5 people answer this. I'm really curious about the answer. (and despite what you might think--my favorites might surprise you...just maybe)

Thank you for your time and thank you for putting up with my randomness.

Another Book I Finished Reading Today...

Love That Dog by  Sharon Creech is the other book I read today. Honestly, I wouldn't even call it a book since the whole thing was random poems written by a little kid. I thought it had no plot and was kind of boring.
I will admit, though, that it was kind of cute. It really makes you think what you wrote when you were young.
It was also a little sad and confusing, but whatever, that's my opinion.
Out of 5 stars, I would probably give it a 2.5 at the most, but--like I said--it did have a moment that was kind of cute.

I will honestly say I would have never--ever--read that book if my friend hadn't insisted. She said she would read Obsidian if I read Love That Dog and another one--I think it's called Hate That Cat? Something like that. I really wanted her to read Obsidian, so I sucked it up and am now reading the second one. That's how obsessed I am with Obsidian.

Going to be totally random here now... You remember me talking about Bailey? Today, I attempted to doodle Gary from Spongebob (this was after I perfected my doodles of Spongebob and Squidward) and Bailey now says she's married to Gary. I don't know why she didn't invite me to the wedding--she's a real friend, right? You hear that, Bailey?! You should have invited me to the freaking wedding!

Thank you for your time and putting up with my randomness (and Bailey's randomness)

BOO-YAH!

I finished my book!!! The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight was awesome! It was good enough for me to read until 3 am, so that's saying something.
It was awesome, and I wish I could talk about it, but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who reads it in the future.
I will say that love at first sight is 72% more likely to happen at an airport than anywhere else (according to Oliver). And two people who meet three times over a 24 hour period, are 98% more likely to meet randomly again (again, Oliver's words).
Thank you for putting up with my rambling.

About the Harry Potter Comment...

Someone posted a comment on my blog (thanks! You're the second person!) and you said that I should talk about Harry Potter. Okay, I'm sorry to say this--if you're even reading this--but I've never read Harry Potter. I've read multiple books just this week, but I've never read Harry Potter. Sorry.
So, since I have never read it, I won't be able to talk about it. Please don't hate my blog because there isn't going to be much talk about Harry Potter! There are so many cool books to read and a LOT of them are on my blog.
If you like Harry Potter, you'll almost definitely like...
  • The Lux series
  • The Hush, Hush series
  • The Watchers series (the one on my website in Book Covers)
  • Touch
  • Fallen series
  • etc.
I really am sorry, and I hope you still give my blog a chance--even if I don't really talk about Harry Potter.

Thank you to whoever you are. I really appreciate you spending your time on my blog and giving me a cool suggestion to help make it better--unless you're Bailey, cause then I'm going to yell at you tomorrow--but if you're NOT Bailey (my best friend) then thank you for your time.

Obsessive Randomness

I'm right now reading The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith. I'm not very far in it, but it is AWESOME! I LOVE it! I just have a weakness for main characters that are British and named Oliver--and I have no idea why. I also like main characters that are British and named Keeth--again, completely random.

Have you ever seen Brian Regan? He's everywhere on YouTube. He's an AWESOME comedian. (My sister is watching it and I can't stop laughing.) Sorry about my randomness.

Okay, I'm not really THAT random. Random is saying "Purple polka-dotted monkeys laying eggs on a bicycle!" (That's what my friend used to say all the time)

Have any of you ever read the Hush, Hush series? I will probably be very obsessive about that series on here. I REALLY like that series. It's got fallen angels in it! Like hot aliens, hot fallen angels are very hard to beat--but, then again, that is my opinion.
  • Hush, Hush
  • Crescendo
  • Silence
  • Finale
Yeah, it's really hard to compete with hot aliens and fallen angels.
Sorry about my obsessive randomness.

Opal

Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout is coming soon! I've been DYING to read this one and I just can't wait. It comes out December 18, 2012. I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait. I NEED to read this book.
The series is called the Lux series and the other books are...
  • Shadows
  • Obsidian
  • Onyx
Awesome series. It's about aliens--what's better than aliens? Oh yeah, hot aliens! Yep, the series is about hot aliens.

Greetings

This is the first time I've ever blogged--there, I said it up front. This is my way to share my knowledge of books (which is extensive) and so I can talk about the books I've read. If you want to talk about a book, or if you want me to read a book that you liked, contact me or post a comment and I'll most likely get back to you on that. Okay?
