Really, Sage? A date?"
I sighed. "Yes, Adrian. A date."
A real date. Not, like, doing homework together," he added. "I mean like where you go out to a movie or something. And a movie that's not part of a school assignment. Or about something boring."
"A real date." I figured I wouldn't give him the specifics on the Shakespheare play.
"What's the lucky guy's name?"
"Brayden."
There was a pause. "Brayden? That his real name?"
"Why are you asking if everything's real? You think I'd make any of this up?"
"No, no," Adrian assured me. "That what's so ynbelievable about it. Is he cute?"
I glanced at the clock. It was time for me to meet my study group. "Gee, maybe I should just send you a picture to review?"
"Yes, please. And a full background check and life history."
"I have to go. Why do you care so much anyway?" I finally asked in exasperation.
His answer took a long time, which was uncharacteristic.

Summary What if your boyfriend was the world's biggest rockstar?
Sterling is crazy in love with Ethan. Not only is he the sweetest boy she's ever met, but he's an incredibly talented guitarist, singer, and songwriter. And since forever, he's believed he has what it takes to be a star.
When Ethan becomes an overnight sensation, he's thrown head-first into the glam world of celebrity-and so is Sterling. Before she knows it, she's attending red-carpet premieres, getting free designer clothes, and flying around the country to attend Ethan's monumental sold-out concerts.

Book review- The golden lily by richelle mead
The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
read from may 30- june 18
Summary -Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets—and human lives.
Sydney would love to go to college, but instead, she’s been sent into hiding at a posh boarding school in Palm Springs, California–tasked with protecting Moroi princess Jill Dragomir from assassins who want to throw the Moroi court into civil war. Formerly in disgrace, Sydney is now praised for her loyalty and obedience, and held up as the model of an exemplary Alchemist.
But the closer she grows to Jill, Eddie, and especially Adrian, the more she finds herself questioning her age–old Alchemist beliefs, her idea of family, and the sense of what it means to truly belong. Her world becomes even more complicated when magical experiments show Sydney may hold the key to prevent becoming Strigoi—the fiercest vampires, the ones who don’t die. But it’s her fear of being just that—special, magical, powerful—that scares her more than anything. Equally daunting is her new romance with Brayden, a cute, brainy guy who seems to be her match in every way. Yet, as perfect as he seems, Sydney finds herself being drawn to someone else—someone forbidden to her.
When a shocking secret threatens to tear the vampire world apart, Sydney’s loyalties are suddenly tested more than ever before. She wonders how she's supposed to strike a balance between the principles and dogmas she's been taught, and what her instincts are now telling her.
Should she trust the Alchemists—or her heart?
This review Contains spoilers you are warned
Review - the second book in the bloodlines series was amazing I think I liked this one better than the first one so this one is about Sydney of course and when we first see her she is with the alchemist talking about keith and after that she is shown a human who wants to be a strogi and was he crazy when she gets back to palm springs sonya demitri are still doing research oh and sonya was attacked with a sward and sydney was there to . Trey sets sydney up with his friend Braden who probably is the most doshest character i've ever read I'm screaming at sydney this guy is rude he thinks he is better than you my favorite part was the end with them I loved adrain's encounter with Braden my favorite was the halloween scene so your saying my "sister " looks like a Prostitute and he said yes wtf Branden is wrong with you I loved when Adrian got his car and sydney was just in aw of it she really loves her cars. Spirt is having a weird effect on Adrian and Jill feels it oh and Angeline oh my god she is litterly always groping eddie I do have to say I thought it was kind of funny when she punched that inspiration speaker . So we find out there are there hunters who want to kill strogi which is cool but they think sonya is still a strgoi and that she's hiding it and we find out trey is involved like wtf and she's been taken so sydney goes and trey and his cousin are fighting to see who gets to kill her litterly not kidding and as these people are speaking I'm thinking I've read parts with strogi and you would be dead it two seconds flat so these people are stupid so the gang gets to sydney and they get the hell out of there they put a tracking device in Sydney's purse . So Braden dumps sydney he tells her that she is irresponsible what the hell is with this guy and then she burst out laughing I found it funny myself and then she goes sees adrian and he KISSES HER YESSS and then she gets mad oh sydney i loved this good can't wait to see what happens in indigo spell I plan to catch on the this series before the newest one comes out .

You’re wearing that?”… “This is the kind of shirt that says, ‘You’re never getting in here.’”
“Well, why would he?” I demanded.
…”I think it’s more like a shirt that says, ‘I’m going to have to end this date early so I can go prepare by Power Point presentation.
“Okay. But I'm just going to be out there - having a tea party with her cats or whatever it is she has in mind. You need me? You yell. You want to leave? We go. I'll get you out of here, no matter what.
You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this earth. You have no clue of how beautiful you are or how brightly you shine.”
“Jill was tall and slim, like most Moroi. With that figure came a modest chest. Angeline's chest...was not so modest.”

Waiting wednesday
Summary -On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton’s laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road.
Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? Vividly told by an unexpected and surprising narrator, this heartbreaking and nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High’s most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn’t understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn’t understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhang’s haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher.
I loved thirteen reasons why by jay asher and this seams really similar

Book review -city of lost souls by cassandra clare
City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Read from April 26- June 15
Summary -Jace is now a servant of evil, bound for all eternity to Sebastian. Only a small band of Shadowhunters believe he can be saved. To do this they must defy the Clave. And they must act without Clary. For Clary is playing a dangerous game utterly alone. The price of losing is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul.
Clary is willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still trust him? Or is he truly lost?
What price is too high to pay, even for love?
Review - City of lost souls is book five of the mortal instruments so if you haven't read the books before don't continue here we go . Jace is in the control of Clary's evil brother Sebastian but they've disappeared until one night Jace apeares in her room asking her to come with him Sebastian is there to he hurts Luke . Clary steals these fairy rings that you are able to hear people's thoughts if they have the other ring so she takes the other ring and she goes with Jace and Sebastian while the others are trying to find a way to separate Jace and Sebastian . I found it funny how one part Jace said he hated ducks just like will . there is the part where Jace , Clary they go to this club and there is fairy drugs and clary takes some and jace is almost having sex with clary and she doesn't want to and then she screams . Clary fallows Sabastion fights some demons sabastion saves her . Jace is back sort of see when he was killing this iron sister that sabastion told him to kill but it's only temporary Jace said he would rather die than be under his control he was going to go to the clave and take the mortal cup with him but clary stopped him . the others have found a way the sward they raise rassiel since simon can't really die cause of the mark of cain he talks to the angel who makes a deal I will give you the sward if you give me the mark he agrees simon thinks the mark is a curse anyways they have the sward . fake Jace is back and they get ready to make evil shadowhunters sabastion stole clary's fairy ring and he was in contact with the fairy queen they fight sabastion kisses her ew ew ew he said when you thought jace was your brother i mean this scene was so beyond creepy sabastion is just beyond creepy . So they go to battle and Luke sister was taken there and she drinks demon blood and becomes strong . the others have the sword izzy and Alec go to there mother and tell her what's going on she wants to go to the clave and the others go after sabastion jace and clary . Clary is mosly dragged to go there oh and she destroys the apparment with a rune . so the fight begins and people are injured and killed , Magnus gets hurt . Clary has the sward and she stabs jace and sabastion screams separating them for awhile we didn't know if Jace was alive but he is he kind of has this glow which he can kind of burn people see he set fire but not normal fire heavly fire magnus and Alce break up because of what alec was going to do awww malac i love them together they better get back together . oh marus sees that there are angel wings in the instute from sabastion I am coming I loved this book this one is my second favorite can't wait to see how it all ends .

what's on my hold list
I haven't done this in awhile
"I have no idea what is truth and what is fiction. I'm all I've got now. I can't trust anyone."World War III has left the world ravaged by nuclear radiation. A lucky few escaped to the Alaskan wilderness. They've survived for the last thirty years by living off the land, being one with nature, and hiding from whoever else might still be out there.
At least, this is what Juneau has been told her entire life.
When Juneau returns from a hunting trip to discover that everyone in her clan has vanished, she sets off to find them. Leaving the boundaries of their land for the very first time, she learns something horrifying: There never was a war. Cities were never destroyed. The world is intact. Everything was a lie.
Now Juneau is adrift in a modern-day world she never knew existed. But while she's trying to find a way to rescue her friends and family, someone else is looking for her. Someone who knows the extraordinary truth about the secrets of her past.

The first book in the acclaimed and award winning New York Times bestselling trilogy. The Girl of Fire and Thorns is a remarkable novel full of adventure, sorcery, heartbreak, and power. "I stayed up until two a.m. reading this last night. Intense, unique. . . . Definitely recommended."--Veronica Roth, author of the best-selling Divergent series Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness. Elisa is the chosen one. But she is also the younger of two princesses. The one who has never done anything remarkable, and can't see how she ever will. Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king--a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs her to be the chosen one, not a failure of a princess. And he's not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies, seething with dark magic, are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake. Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn't die young. Most of the chosen do. "A page-turner with broad appeal."--Publishers Weekly Supports the Common Core State Standards
A modern, magical twist on the Gothic Romance and Girl Detective genres, this book will appeal to fans of both Beautiful Creatures and the Mortal Instruments series. Reviewers have praised the take-charge heroine and the spellbinding romance. Bound together. Worlds apart. Kami Glass is in love with someone she's never met--a boy she's talked to in her head since she was born. This has made her an outsider in the sleepy English town of Sorry-in-the-Vale, but she has learned ways to turn that to her advantage. Her life seems to be in order, until disturbing events begin to occur. There has been screaming in the woods and the manor overlooking the town has lit up for the first time in 10 years. . . . The Lynburn family, who ruled the town a generation ago and who all left without warning, have returned. Now Kami can see that the town she has known and loved all her life is hiding a multitude of secrets--and a murderer. The key to it all just might be the boy in her head. The boy she thought was imaginary is real, and definitely and deliciously dangerous. "A sparkling fantasy that will make you laugh and break your heart ." --Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author "A darkly funny , deliciously thrilling Gothic." --Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author "Readers will laugh , shiver , and maybe even swoon over this modern Gothic novel." --Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author " Breathtaking --a compulsive, rocketing read."--Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author "Captures the reader with true magic ."--Esther Friesner, author of Nobody's Princess "A laugh-out-loud delight ." -- Publishers Weekly
Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London--working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true. Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward--both of whom she is deeply drawn to--Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius--and madness--in her own blood. Inspired by H. G. Wells's classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Madman's Daughter is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets we'll do anything to know and the truths we'll go to any lengths to protect.
Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to an allying pirate clan: she wants to captain her own boat, not serve as second-in-command to her handsome yet clueless fiance. But her escape has dire consequences when she learns the scorned clan has sent an assassin after her.nbsp; And when the assassin, Naji, finally catches up with her, things get even worse. Ananna inadvertently triggers a nasty curse -- with a life-altering result. Now Ananna and Naji are forced to become uneasy allies as they work together to break the curse and return their lives back to normal. Or at least as normal as the lives of a pirate and an assassin can be.
An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birth rate. For fans of Moira Young's The Dust Lands series and Hanna (the movie). Meadow Woodson, a 15-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision. The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is--although he doesn't know it--one of the MC's programmed assasins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family? Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling teen read.

Now Juneau is adrift in a modern-day world she never knew existed. But while she's trying to find a way to rescue her friends and family, someone else is looking for her. Someone who knows the extraordinary truth about the secrets of her past.

Movie review of the fault of our stars
On friday I went to see the fault of our stars with my mom and my mom didn't read the book and I did she knew the ending though . okay when I heard that one of my favorite books was becoming a movie I was scared when the trailer launched I was littlerly crying and seeing the movie seeing all my favorite parts when they meet and everything else I have to say the perfect gus and hazel Ansel and Shai were perfect I actually could see them as the characters and the sad parts *spoilers* when they go to Amsterdam and meet with the author of there favorite book he was a asshole as much in the book and I loved Hazel's emotions in this scene and at the anne frank house when they finally kiss it was so cute and the love making scene i'm not going to call it a sex scene cause it was the best sex scene cause you could see how they loved each other it was adorable. When Gus told hazel he was dying I was sobbing. and nate wolf as Isaac he was perfect and funny the egg scene was hilarious the fake funeral was where i was really sobbing cause it was the part in the book I was sobbing but it was sad issac when he died It was sad cause I love gus he's one of my top book boyfriends and the letter gus wrote to the ass writer I was crying and laughing this movie was perfection I want to see it again now some of my favorite quotes cause you know I'm quote obsessed oh and I bought the soundtrack on itunes amazing music also .

Waiting Wednesday
The last place you’d expect to find a team of criminals is at a prestigious Philadelphia prep school. But on a class trip to the U.S. Mint – which prints a million new coins every 30 minutes – an overlooked security flaw becomes far too tempting for a small group of students to ignore.
United by dire circumstances, these unlikely allies – the slacker, the nerd, the athlete, and the "perfect" student – band together to attempt the impossible: rob the U.S. Mint. The diverse crew is forced to confront their true beliefs about each other and themselves as they do the wrong thing for the right reasons.
Elisa Ludwig's Coin Heist is a fun, suspenseful, and compelling thriller, told from the revolving perspectives of four teens, each with their own motive for committing a crime that could change all of their lives for the better—if they can pull it off

Waiting Wednesday
Summarry -When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.
Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.
They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.
Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.
Release date August 5 , 204

Sex in books
Sex in books is a video I saw on youtube Ariel video. Now what are my oppions on sex in books . I think it's totally fine as a 19 year old we teens go through things . Now if I see things in books am i going to do them ovisailly no, but if it's a contemporary or any other book where there avoiding the sex scene or talk about it after i think that's stupid , because that's real life people meet people they have sex that's life and we shouldn't avoid it in books .
