ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD by Kendare Blake

                                         

I READ THIS BOOK FOR HALLOWEEN BECAUSE ITS BEEN ON EVERY HAUL I WATCH AND EVERYBODY SAYS IT IS A GREAT BOOK.
WELL I THINK THIS BOOK IS......VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD. IT IS SO FAST TO READ BECAUSE IT IS SO GOOD. AS SOON AS I READ THE FIRST PAGE I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A BOOK I'D LIKE. THE CHARACTERS ARE SO AWESOME THERE ARE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS AND THE GUY SOUNDS LIKE THE TYPICAL HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH. ANNA IS SUCH A SWEET GIRL AND HER STORY IS VERY SAD, SOMETHING THAT I'VE SEEN ON TELEVISION HAPPENING IN REAL LIFE TO REAL TEENAGERS. I CAN'T WAIT TILL I READ THE SEQUEL.
ALL IN ALL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND I SEE MYSELF READING THIS BOOK AGAIN.

ZOMBIES VS INCORNS by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier

THIS IS AN ANTHOLOGY (meaning a collection of short stories) THE POINT OF THIS BOOK IS TO GET YOU TO DECIDE WHICH ONE MAKES A BETTER FICTION CHARACTER, A BETTER CREATURE. THE BOOK CONSISTS OF 12 SHORT STORIES, 6 ZOMBIE STORIES (edited by Justine Larbalestier) AND 6 UNICORN STORIES (edited by holly Black). I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR THIS BOOK AND WAS VERY EXCITED WHEN IT ARRIVED IN THE MAIL. I FOUND OUT THAT ITS A BOOK I DIDN'T ENJOY ALL THAT MUCH. 4 OF THE STORIES ARE GREAT BUT THE REST ARE NOT VERY GOOD AND SOME NOT GOOD AT ALL. SOMETHING I LIKED VERY MUCH WAS THAT IT TOOK THE STORIES TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL AND GAVE DIFFERENT MEANING TO THE WHOLE ZOMBIE TERRIFYING MONSTER AND TO THE UNICORN RAINBOW PRETTY STORIES.
MY FAVORITE STORY IS CALLED "THE CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION" BY MAUREEN JOHNSON AND THE STORY I DIDN'T LIKE AT ALL "A THOUSAND FLOWERS" BY MARGO LANAGAN.

13 REASONS WHY by Jay Asher

                                                            
THIS IS A BOOK I FOUND MYSELF DEVOURING, THIS BOOK IS A BESTSELLER AND THERE'S POSSIBLY 13 REASONS WHY (if not more). IN THIS STORY THE MAIN CHARACTER IS DEAD HER NAME IS HANNAH BAKER, AFTER KILLING HERSELF SCHOOLMATES GET THE PACKAGE, ONE BY ONE. THE BOX CONTAINS 7 AUDIOTAPES. THE STUDENTS THAT GET THIS IS IN NO WAY GOOD NEWS TO THEM BECAUSE SURPRISE, SURPRISE THAT ONLY MAKES THEM ONE OF THE REASONS WHY SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE AND THERE'S 13 REASONS WHY. HANNAH BAKER  EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN THOSE TAPES AND SHE EXPLAINS IT WITH A KIND OF DARK SENSE OF HUMOR. EVEN THOUGH SHE'S DEAD I FOUND MYSELF UNDERSTANDING HER PAIN AND LIKING HER. I WAS HOPING THAT THERE WOULD BE A SURPRISING ENDING LETTING ME KNOW SHE WAS ACTUALLY ALIVE BUT NO SURPRISE THERE. I FOUND MYSELF GRIEVING FOR THIS CHARACTER. 13 REASONS WHY IS A NOVEL THAT WILL TOUCH YOUR HEART AND MAKE YOU REMEMBER THAT BULLY YOU ONCE HAD IN YOUR SCHOOL.

ONE DAY by David Nicholls

                                                                   
I JUST FINISHED READING ONE DAY 4 DAYS AGO AND AS SOON AS I FINISHED THE BOOK I WATCHED THE MOVIE. I MUST SAY, I WAS IMPRESSED BY HOW WELL THE MOVIE FOLLOWED THE BOOK. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET INTO THE STORY BUT AFTER READING ABOUT MORE THAN HALF OF IT I STARTED LIKING IT. IT HAS GOOD REVIEWS AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE COVER IT IS A BESTSELLER, UNFORTUNATELY I FOUND MYSELF NOT LIKING IT TOO  MUCH. PLEASE PEOPLE THAT LOVED THE BOOK PLEASE DON'T HATE ME, I TRIED TO LOVE IT. THIS BOOK IS 435 PAGES. THE BOOK DOESN'T GO BY CHAPTERS IT GOES BY THE SAME DATE ONLY A YEAR LATER. THE MAIN CHARACTERS ARE DEXTER AND EMMA THEY MEET DURING THEIR GRADUATION ON JULY 15, 1988 AND IT FOLLOWS THEIR LIFE'S ALL THE WAY TO JULY 15, 2007. EMMA AND DEXTER ARE BEST FRIENDS, DEXTER IS AN ALCOHOLIC TRYING TO NOT BE A FAILURE AND EMMA IS A VERY NICE GIRL TRYING TO FIND HERSELF. THIS BOOK HAS A SURPRISING ENDING WHICH THAT I DID LOVE. I HONESTLY THINK THE ENDING IS THE BEST PART OF THE BOOK AND FOUND MYSELF RELIEVED WHEN I FINISHED IT.

MARKED by P.C AND Kristin Cast

THIS IS A HOUSE OF NIGHT SERIES, MARKED BEING THE FIRST BOOK. SO FAR THERE'S 9 BOOKS WITH THE 10th COMING OUT SOON. THIS SERIES IS ABOUT A GIRL NAMED ZOEY MONTGOMERY WHO GOES THROUGH AN UNEXPECTED, UNWANTED CHANGE. IN HER WORLD EVERYTHING IS NORMAL, JUST LIKE IN OUR OWN WORLD. THE ONLY SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IS THAT IN ZOEY'S WORLD VAMPIRES EXIST. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AROUND BUT ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM HUMANS AND HUMANS DON'T THINK OF THEM AS MUCH. ZOEY GETS MARKED BY A VAMPIRE AND HAS TO GO TO A VAMPIRE SCHOOL CALLED THE HOUSE OF NIGHT, THERE SHE IS TAUGHT HOW TO BE A VAMPIRE. WHEN ZOEY GETS MARKED HER LIFE CHANGES COMPLETELY. NOW SHE HAS TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS, SHE HAS TO STAY AWAY FROM HUMANS AND FINDS OUT SHE IS ONE OFA KIND. HER BOYFRIEND HEATH AND HER GRANDMOTHER ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE FROM HER PAST LIFE THAT SEEM TO STILL CARE ABOUT HER. HER MOTHER AND STEPFATHER ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT HER MARK (as if she had a choice). IN THIS NEW LIFE ZOEY CHANGES HER NAME TO ZOEY REDBIRD AND HAS TO GO THROUGH MANY DISCOVERIES ONE INCLUDING HER HAVING SPECIAL POWERS. WITH SPECIAL POWERS COMES JEALOUSY, ENVY, BETRAYAL, AND HATE.
THIS BOOK IS A VERY GOOD ONE, THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE MUCH IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF BOOKS IN THE SERIES. I DO RECOMMEND IT BUT IT IS A TEEN BOOK IT DOES HAVE SEXUAL CONTENT..
