Keeping the moon


KEEPING THE MOON. I thought this book was very well written and good <------ (understatement) this book was fantastical~! (no that's not a real word) I loved the characters! I feel that all of Sarah Dessen's books end the same, but with this one I guess I was taken back. I don't know what made this stand out from her other novels, but it did. I know how all of her other story's end because I knew her style of writing.

No one wants to be a miss fit right? Well Fifteen-year-old lip periced Colie has always been a miss fit. When she was fat, before her mom became well know Kiki Sparks - a well known exercise program that helped you lose weight - After when she was skinny. Sure she was no longer fat, problem gone right? Wrong. Colie feels she need to hide behind something, to have a shell around her. When her mom goes away and she has to stay with her chubby bike riding card writing aunt, Colie get a new start. She lands a job at the last chance, a well known diner, With Norman. Norman the Hippy that lives with Colies aunt. With this job, new door will open, old ones will be closed. True Friends come out.

Dear John

Dear John, by Nichols Sparks





Dear john was a refreshing read that had me bouncing up and down for more. I loved the twist and turn's, the author really did know how to play with the readers emotions to make it seem as if you felt their pain.
when I first picked this book up, I thought that it would be about a relationship based on sex, It really wasn't, and that made you sooo happy! Its a love story between John and Savannah. But this loves no fairy tale as it has to survive John going into the army for a year before he can even see Savannah, and when he does, its only on two weeks leave. I found this breath taking and (even you boys) everyone should read it!
..... I will not be putting up a summary like a usually do because I don't agree with most of the summary's, (that may not make sense, but so be it.) Just read the book, because not only do you gain an insight on love, you gain one on how the war works.
read it
loveit
learn it.

this is one of my favorite books of all time! It is amazing! So I think that if you like the super natural vampire type of books you'll love this!

Vampires, werewolves, witches, shapeshifters -- they live among us without our knowledge. Night World is their secret society, a secret society with very strict rules. And falling in love breaks all the laws of the Night World.
In Secret Vampire, Poppy thought the summer would last forever. Then she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now Poppy's only hope for survival is James, her friend and secret love. A vampire in the Night World, James can make Poppy immortal. But first they both must risk everything to go against the laws of Night World.
Fugitives from Night World, three vampire sisters leave their isolated home to live among humans in Daughters of Darkness. Their brother, Ash, is sent to bring the girls back, but he falls in love with their beautiful friend.
Two witch cousins fight over their high school crush. It's a battle between black magic and white magic in Spellbinder.

Telling Christina Goodbye

Telling Christina Goodbye By Lurnec McDainle.
I cried a river.
Wow, this book had me crying all the way through it! I loved it sooo much I read it with in a couple of hours and my eyes have blotchy spots on them and I looked horrible with all the crying. But all I could think about was how this story touched my heart. I hope it touches yours also.
Telling Christina Goodbye by Lurlene McDaniel: Book Cover
Trisha Thompson and her best friend Christina are having a great senior year. Trisha and her boyfriend, Cody, are making plans to attend Indiana University together in the fall, while Christina has already received a scholarship to the University of Vermont. Everything would be perfect if only Trisha got along with Christina’s controlling boyfriend Tucker, who is trying to convince Christina not to go away for college. But suddenly their lives change one night when Tucker is driving the four home from an away basketball game. When his car hits a patch of black ice and overturns, Tucker walks away with barely a scratch, but Trisha is injured, Cody is in a coma, and Christina is dead. Those left behind must learn that it takes time for their scars—both visible and not—to heal. And they must find the courage to move on with their lives.

Bad Girls Don't Die

Bad Girls Don't Die By Katie Alender: this is such a great book and I think that every one can find something that they like in it. I wasn't to keen on reading (the cover didn't impress me but you know what they say, "never judge a book by its cover) it but once I picked it up i just could not stop reading! i love it!
Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence. Dysfunctional like her parents' marriage; her doll-crazy twelve-year-old sister, Kasey; and even her own anti-social, anti-cheerleader attitude.

When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green sometimes; she uses old-fashioned language; and she even loses track of chunks of time, claiming to know nothing about her strange behavior. Their old house is changing, too. Doors open and close by themselves; water boils on the unlit stove; and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house cold enough to see their breath in.Alexis wants to think that it's all in her head, but soon, what she liked to think of as silly parlor tricks are becoming life-threatening—to her, her family, and to her budding relationship with the class president. Alexis knows she's the only person who can stop Kasey — but what if that green-eyed girl isn't even Kasey anymore?

this was such a great book I read it in one day. its very easy too. A little romance, funny, making out to be a wonderful story!

Mortal Instruments

This being my favorite book it should go first. City of bones by Cassandra Clare. I LOVE this book!

A deliciously exotic urban fantasy that is sexy, mysterious and dangerously good fun!

When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother?And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.


There's so much more to it than that! It really is magical!

You have to say the covers attractive too.
