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.

Time it took to read: 1.5 days

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.

La Ti Di. Review: The Wedding Planner's Daughter

THE WEDDING PLANNER'S DAUGHTER
written by Coleen Murtaugh Paratore

This is a beautiful story of a mother/daughter relationship at the center, and many other relationships buzzing, swirling and growing from it. The daughter has moved with her mother to the New England coast and lives in a small town. Her mother is the wedding planner and has been a very sad woman for a long time, ever since her husband died. Their next door neighbor, and the younger of the two's English teacher, becomes the love interest for the new wedding planner and a cutie from the high-school the interest for the daughter. In the end there are a lot of happy faces and even a marriage for the candy lady grandmother.

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)
