Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

“Dead girl walking,” the boys say in the halls.
“Tell us your secret,” the girls whisper, one toilet to another.
I am that girl.
I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame. 

Lia and Cassie were best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies. But now Cassie is dead. Lia's mother is busy saving other people's lives. Her father is away on business. Her step-mother is clueless. And the voice inside Lia's head keeps telling her to remain in control, stay strong, lose more, weigh less. If she keeps on going this way—thin, thinner, thinnest—maybe she'll disappear altogether. 

In her most emotionally wrenching, lyrically written book since the National Book Award finalist Speak, best-selling author Laurie Halse Anderson explores one girl's chilling descent into the all-consuming vortex of anorexia.


What can I say about this book.
First of all I wanted to point out that I didn't pick out this book just like that, I got it because I saw a book review on YouTube from Dmfriend25. 
He described this book to be SO good. 
But everyone has their own opinions.
I found this book to be a little to much for me because I don't get why girls are anorexic....I really did try to understand but it was a fail. 


The main character 'Lia' was always counting her calories she didn't go over 100 calories a day, or sometimes didn't eat at all, even though she was craving food, but always telling herself that food is a monster.


In the book was crossed out words that I found kinda annoying. 
The other thing was the chapter titles which were ~0010~ which it took me a min to realize it was the chapter headings.


Theres other things in the book that I didnt like but thats saying too much and I dont want to spoil the book, in case anyone wants to read it.
Like i said everyone has their own liking of a book.


I did finish the book because I have to finish a book...period, not because I liked it.


I'm not going to say anymore, not even if I liked the ending or not, because that's saying to much ;)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

• Reading level: Young Adult
• Hardcover: 384 pages
• Publisher: Scholastic Press; 1st edition (September 14, 2008)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0439023483

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forwrd to take her sister's place in the Games. But katness has been close to dead before--and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

I just finished this earlier today, but it took me awhile to finish it, but not because it wasnt great, but just because I have an 8 month old baby. 

I just truly loved this book, I would have finished this in one day, tops! I never wanted to put it down (but had to).

I was always at the edge of my seat when it came with this book.

And to think I wasnt going to read this book because of the cover, yes I do judge a book by the cover, but this book has truly proved me wrong!

Terrific book!!

Recommed it!

Gallows Hill by Lois Duncan

Sarah can see peoples secrets in an ordinary crystal paperweight.
Too bad they still believe in witches in Pine Crest. And they don't like them at all. Sarah's about to relive a horrible ordeal that happened hundreds of years ago--unless someone can undo a terrible wrong.

This was my first Lois Duncan novel. I thought it was excellent! The book was very suspenseful and gave tons of descriptive detail, as well as lots of feelings and emotions in the characters. The story is about a girl named Sarah that has just moved from a town called Ventura,California. She moves to a small little town called Pine Crest that seems nice on the outside, but is really twisted and hidden with unbearable lies underneath. Sarah is asked to take part in a school fundraiser, a carnival and is asked to be a gypsy that tells fortunes. She uses an old paperweight as her glass ball, but later she discovers that she can see people's secrets and predict the future! I don't want to give the book away, but something terrible happens.. sending lies, mischief,backstabbers,magic, and witches into the small quiet town of Pine Crest. I really enjoyed this book, it was a great thriller!

I gave this book 5 stars because it made me have goosbumps down my arm, I even got a bit scared.

In the Forest of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Three-hundred-year-old Risika looks darn good for her age. Thanks to her "blood mother," a vampire named Ather who turned Risika (nee Rachel) into one of the undead back in 1684, she will always look as fresh as a 17-year-old. Now Risika is a world weary night stalker who sleeps in Concord, Massachusetts, by day and prowls New York City by night, in search of fresh blood to slake her inhuman thirst. One of the benefits of living such a long life has been discovering that most of the popular myths about vampires are not true: "Holy water and crosses do not bother me... and silver does not burn me. If someone hammered a stake through my heart, I suppose I would die, but I do not play with humans, stakes or mallets." In fact, there is little in the mortal world that surprises Risika anymore, until she returns from a hunt one night to find a black rose on her pillow--the same flower she was given on the eve of her mortal death. Knowing that the rose is a taunt from Aubrey, a vampire she believes murdered her human brother, Risika decides to confront her nemesis. In a bloody battle with Aubrey, Risika finally unearths her brother's true fate.

First I would like to say that this book was not the book I expected because for 1 I thought it was going to be about shape shifters, as you can see on the cover it shows you how she can transform into a hawk. 2, I thought it was going to be about living in the forest and such, but it turns out its based in Concord, Mass and New York.

OK so the book itself was so great, I couldn't stop reading it from the very beginning!
It tells you how she became a Vampire from the year 1701 and it goes from 'Then' and 'Now'

I give this book a 4.5 just because It was a very short read, theres only 147 pages, I wanted it to be a bit longer and see what happeneds with her and the someone at the end of the book.


If you want to get this book I think you should look for it at your Local Library.


Recommendable

Update

I have no clue if anyone is reading this, but if you are please leave a comment below.

I have not made any videos on YouTube (if you do watch me) because I am taking care of my baby, I have another channel on youtube on only on my 2 babes (10 and 7month) if you would like to sub on that one you can (spickalicious).

I have some books I want to show you and make a video book haul, but I will do that soon.
I will put the list of the books I have later today.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

The Cold.

Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn't know why.

The Heat.

Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace...until now.

The Shiver.

For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once its spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human--and Grace must fight to keep him--even if it means talking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.

I was so happy that I got this book...at first because of all the rave reviews on YouTube. I read the first few 100 pages and it came to the point that I didn't like the book anymore.
It was slow and it was only about Grace and Sam going back and forth.
Also to tell you the truth, this book kinda freaked me out, because first, why would you be in love with a wolf, and then not think a second thought when he turns into a human being?
That was just weird for me.
Also Sams love for Grace was too unreal, how can he love her SO much if he just spent a few days with her.


Characters:
Grace: I did like her because she was Independent, about her parents I didnt like that because they did ignore her.
Sam: I really dont know what to say about Sam. :/

Night World by L.J. Smith

Vampires, werewolves, witches, shape shifters--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 the 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.


Okay I just want to say that I was a little skeptical about this book because for 1 I'm not into vampire books and also because its 3 books in 1. I did buy the book for the 'Daughters of Darkness' just because I'm really into books that consist witches. 

Okay so I heard that I had to read the first story to understand the rest of the book.

I was not into it at first but reading along the last few chapters it started to get really interesting.

I'm not a spoiler so I'm not gonna spoil it for you (unless you want me to.)

Overall I give this book 4 stars.
