Title : Looking for Alaska
Author : John green
Release date : march 3rd 2005
Pages 221
Publisher puffin
Summary:
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver
Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.


Review: This book Looking for Alaska was a book that amazed me it was funny and sad it's about Miles/pudge going to culver creek looking for the great perhaps but what he didn't expect was meeting a girl that changes his life Alaska Young pudge fell in love on the first sight of Alaska miles gets some interesting friends the corneal alaska takumie and Lara these guys aren't the rich kids but they know how to have fun miles loves last words which is interesting but these friends love to prank on miles first date at culver creek with Lara he ends up puking on her jeans which is memorable but miles still likes Lara so on a big prank adventure on the rich kids they make out and miles ask's her to be his girlfriend and then something big happens which is big and is a big part of the book it was sad.

Book review: The frenzy by Francesca lia block

Title: The frenzy
Author: Francesca Lia block
Realase date : september 28th , 2010
Pages : 258
Publisher harper teen


Summary:
Love is a werewolf, influenced by the moon and terror, and always about to change.
Liv has a secret.


Something happened to her when she was thirteen. Something that changed everything. Liv knows she doesn’t belong anymore—not in her own skin, not in her family . . . not anywhere. The only time she truly feels like herself is when she’s with her boyfriend, Corey, and in the woods that surround her town.


But in the woods, a mysterious woman watches Liv. In the woods, a pack of wild boys lurks. In the woods, Liv learns about the curse that will haunt her forever. The curse that caused the frenzy four years ago. And that may cause it again, all too soon.


While Corey and Liv’s love binds them together, Liv’s dark secret threatens to tear them apart as she struggles to understand who—or what—she really is. And by the light of the full moon, the most dangerous secrets bare their claws. . . .






Review : this book is about Liv she is a werewolf she changed the first time when she was thirteen but she couldn't explain it she attacked her mother after her mom killed a wolf and years after she still has that frenzy inside of her she has a boyfriend named Cory that her parents wouldn't approve of so she is fake dating her gay best friend pace Things happen she can't explain like she's hairy and what she can't explain is what happens that day but one day she can she sees a woman in the woods there have been murders in the woods her parents tell her to stay away from the woods but she goes there with her boyfriend to make love she feels safe there until she finds out what she really is a werewolf. She has to overcome so much like being a werewolf her dad hitting her hiding a boyfriend she loves but when things come out they come out hard like Joe ranger being Liv's father and her mom ends up shooting Liv's hand off and in the end Cory and Liv end up running away together they get there happy ending.

Book Review : The short second life of bree tanner an eclipse novella written by Stephaine Meyer

Title : The  short  second Life of  Bree  Tanner  
Author Stephaine  Meyer  
Pages  : 178 
Release date:  June  5, 2010
Publisher :  Little  brown  books 
Summary:Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. 
In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 
Bree Tanner can barely remember life before she had uncannily powerful senses, superhuman reflexes and unstoppable physical strength. Life before she had a relentless thirst for blood... life before she became a vampire. 
All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has few certainties and even fewer rules: watch your back, don't draw attention to yourself and, above all, make it home by sunrise or die. What she doesn't know: her time as an immortal is quickly running out. 
Then Bree finds an unexpected friend in Diego, a newborn just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator, whom they know only as "her". As they come to realize that the newborns are pawns in a game larger than anything they could have imagined, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decide whom to trust. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a lie, how do you find the truth?

Review:  This  book  is about  Bree  tanner  she is a  newborn  vampire  in  victoria's  clan   and  she  is  a  child  she doesn't  want to be  apart of this   but  she's  stuck  she  meets  people  she  can trust  like  Diego  and  fred but she doesn't trust  Riley she  knows he's fully of lies she finds out  that the vampires don't burn in the sun  and that they sparkle  but  i've read  Eclipse  and I know the outcome  for  Bree and that was  harder reading it  but  I really wanted her to live  but hearing her   story was cool   it was  cool  to see that  the voltorie  met  with Victoria  and Riley   but  when it came  down to the fight  the cullens  picked her   she said she didn't want to hurt anyone   but  the voltorie  pick who  dies and who lives and Bree dies  I was sad  but we  all knew it would  happen I've never read a  novella  before it was cool.

Interview with Richard Denney

Hi  Everyone  Today  I'm going to  be  doing my  very  first  author  Invterview  today  we  have  Richard  Denney  Author of Hillserpent Academy  so lets  start.


Hi Richard so have you always wanted to be a writer ? Hey Christina! Actually singing & acting were my first loves, then one day in California, during the summer of 2004 I bought a giant composition book meant for Lyrics. The lyric book turned into a 130 paged book called "Dreama" and from that day that I finished it, I knew that writing meant everything to me. 




What was your inspiration for Hillserpent Academy and are you planing on writing a sequel ? The inspiration for Hillserpent Academy came to me, because to me there isn't enough LGBT supernatural YA fiction and I decided to write my own, but I was inspired by fantasy books such as Harry Potter & John Bellairs's work :) and yes, there are going to be 6 in the series. 


what is your favorite read from this year ? Clarity" by Kim Harrington. so far it's  my favorite, but we'll see in December lol 

I'm a writer what is your advice for me ? Advice? I'd tell you to keep writing and forget what's in or out or what people want to read because as Richelle Mead said "if you write a book to please readers, your going to write a horrible book. write for you, write what you love." :) 
where do you get names for your characters ? Google!!! I don't know what I'd do without google lol. I usually type in something like "Unique girl/boy names" and just go through the lists or take names and create them myself


Thank you Richard Denney and Check out Hillserpent Academy

your welcome! & thank you! RICHARD DENNEY

Book Review : Burned by P.C Cast + Kristen Cast

Title :  Burned 

Author :  P.C Cast +  Kristen Cast  

Pages :  323

Release  date  April  27, 2010

Summary :When friends stop trusting each other, Darkness is there to fan the flames….

Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered. With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast. It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her.  But how?  He will have to die to do so, the Vampyre High Council stipulates.  And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left…

Enter  BFF Stevie Rae.  She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own.  The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences.  Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good.  The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.

In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it).  She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not.  Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance.

Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned.

Review :  Book  seven   the  house of night series   was  freaking  crazy  it was so emotional  so Kalona  killed  Heath in the last book so  now  Zoey's  Spirt is  shattered  and she is stuck in the otherworld with heath and everyone is trying to figure out how to get her  back  Stark is depressed  and  Stevie  ray  she's  back at the  house of night  still with the raven mocker  (I just don't get her sometimes) Kramisha   gives  Stevie ray  a pome  that mostly  tells  them  how figure out  how to get  Zoey back   stark has  to get   to the  other world  he has  to be  badly  wounded  Dallas  finds out  about  Stevie ray  and  the raven mocker  while there  having  Sex  and that wasn't to  good and then Dallas  goes all  nuts  .   when Stark   gets there all hell  goes  loose  Heath moves on  Kalona  and  Stark  fight and  zoey is  back to new and hopefully her  and stark can be  together now well we'll find out in  AWAKENED.
