Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
An "OMG, Must READ!!"
Hunger Games is about Katniss and she is a hunter. Hunters are not supposed to be hunters and she should not go beyond the fence, but she's a smart girl, shes strong... but maybe not strong enough. The Hunger Games is the country's new reality show that everyone is forced to see, kids fighting eachother to live, and only one will leave the arena alive. Katniss plays through holding both a good deck in hand and a good head on her shoulders. Hunger Games have started, fight if you wish to live.
I like this because you finally have a female quest hero book. meaning a female HP or PJatO.

Firegirl

Firegirl will warm your heart and, thankfully, without burning it to ashes. Tom is a boy with a family that is rather normal and is recieving a private school education. Catholic schools are usually where you go to stay away from the kids with bad family backgrounds but his school got the wrong memo. Class elections are coming up and a new girl has joined the class, but she is badly burned. After things finally go good for her and Tom is having fun, she has to leave. Just the two weeks with JESSICA there changed Tom's life.

Screech. Book Review: Flipped
Flipped
By Wendelin Van Draanen
Flipped keeps a ready sucked into its pages and bound to its characters by making them so real. A boy, Bruce, and a girl, Julianna, take turns telling the intertwined lives they live. Julianna is an outgoing girl that just doesn't keep her opinions to herself and Bruce is a boy that hides away everything he thinks. Its a drama that will make you smile and cry all at the same time.

Murisaki. Review: Red Pyramid
I love the Characters, the Kids Sadie and Carter, really make the story pop out of the pages so that it comes to be so life-like you lose the reality of this world for a while.
Two kids, siblings, watch as their dad sinks into a solid ground in a glowing casket; things could only get better right? Wrong. The Kids are sucked into a world that lives on the silver-line of the current reality, The world of the gods. The Egyption gods have been disconnected from the human magicians for a long time, it's up to these two, that naturally have the connections that the House has been trying to abolish for many years now, to bring the two types of beings to terms again. Long Live King Horus, if he lives long enough to become king.

Author Review: Andrew Clements
This will probably be one of the few Author Reviews I will ever do, only because I usually don't like every single one of the books a specific author writes/wrote.
Andrew Clements
He keeps his stories believable. He avoids most cliches and gives you multi-dimensional characters and ones that have a realistic life, ideas and motives. He gives characters that you can connect with but also stay afar from.
Books he's written include
Frindle
A Week in the Woods
The Landry News
The Janitor's Boy
The School Story
Room One
The Last Holiday Concert

Blippies. Review: Busted
BUSTED
written by Antony John
Confessions of an accidental player. You're the new guy and you want to get some ground. You head to a meeting for the guys and you volunteer for something that is way out of your league, The Book of Busts. All you have to do is find the cup size of girls that haven't been discovered by others. What would you do if the last person on the list consisted of your best friend and the one you really like too? Well, hopefully you don't do what HE does.
I like this because it gives you a new look at everything, and the fact that I'm a girl I get to take a peak into the mind of a guy, but I've done that before in other books; but there is a difference. This ONE doesn't have anything special about him, no powers, no secrets, except for the one, which we all know is totally BUSTED.
Specifics
Time it took to read: 1.5 days
Number of Pages: 253
I would usually give you books that you may also like, but honestly I haven't read anything like this. If that fact changes, I will edit the post and mention the revision in a later post.

Boo. Review: Halos
HALOS
written by Kristen Heitzmann
This book is about a girl that had everything taken away from her, her family, her home, her ideals, her life. She arrives at a small town in New England and enters a gas station when she goes to leave her car is gone. Now stuck with no way out of town, and a bunch of unbelieving people, she needs to think of something to keep her safe and unharmed, good thing she is used to having her stuff taken away.
She goes through some hardships and even works for a man that is single, handsome, and did I ever mention unforgiving. He believed her as lying ever since she entered the town, but ends up liking her more than he had planned on, he even starts to think about asking her to marry him.
This is good because it isn't quite a horror, but isn't a comedic romance, it's all of that with drama everywhere.

Total Domination. Review: Must Love Black
MUST LOVE BLACK
written by Kelly McClymer
I love this book because it is not about a frilly, pink, puffy, lacy girl. This is about a girl that signs up to be a nanny at a large estate in the New England area. The girl is not goth but her wardrobe mostly consists of black and gray. She is the nanny of a set of female twins that lost their mother at an early age. She finds a boy to like, a friend to hang with, and a goat to take care of along the way. Add in a power outage, a shipwreck, and the goats crazy escape acts and you'll have a beautiful story line, but you can only read if you find this to be a true statement, "Must Love Black."
I have read this book more than once.

Anything and Everything, Can and Will Be Posted. Review: The Emerald Tablet
THE EMERALD TABLET (this review also covers the other published book of the trilogy)
Written By PJ Hoover (former electrician)
I believe this book is a nice way to bring myths to life and superpowers into reality. This is a way to escape the reality around us and enter a new world while staying close to home.
Have you ever thought that the pacific ocean is to vast to be without lad some where? Well if you think yes then your correct. But for those that live on these lands, they are different than your everyday people, they are TELEGENS. Now thinking in a sense of medical terms you realize that 'gen' means something that produces, and that 'tele' means from afar; this makes us all conclude that they are appropriately named. These people practice things like telekinesis, telekinteticity, telepathy, and even telegnosis.
This book is easy to understand if you are good with prefixes and suffixes that derive from Greek or Latin, but is also fun to figure out even when you turn that knowledge off. Even if you don't understand it at all, atleast read if for Jack the nogical (a genetically mutated telegen; the species has heightened powers, and jack himself is 400)
