Sepcials

Specials
by Scott Westerfeld
The third book in this series is even more intense. After being caught by Special Circumstances - they turn Tally into one of the Cutters, a new breed of Specials. But Zane was left behind and after taking the pill that killed the nanos he was starting to deteriorate. So Tally and Shay come up with a plan to get him out to the New smoke so they can make him better. That's where the adventure starts and I don't want to say too much about it but Tally is really special in so many ways she doesn't even realize it. It is a great continuation to the store and I'm off to find out what happens in the next book.

Pretties

Pretties
by Scott Westerfeld

After I finished the first book in the series I had to go out and get the rest so this is the second book and it did not disappoint. Tally's adventures continued on as a Pretty now where she tries to remember her life in the smoke and what is right and what is wrong. She meets Zane the leader of the Crims who helps her find a letter of consent that she had sent herself to take the cure because being pretty comes at a price. Both take a pill thinking it will have the same affect but it doesn't and Tally gets them out to the smoke. It's a great adventure and one I would love to see on the big screen.

Tempted
by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Another great book in the series but omg the book really left me wanting more not in a bad way more like i want to know what is going to happen next and i don't want to wait until may of next year. It was great, it told you a lot of things and bought in new character perspectives. What I really love is how everyone hopes and prays that evil will make the right choice and turn into good. I really don't want to go into too much detail about the book in case you haven't read it yet, but it was great and I think one of my favorite characters right now is Rephiam and I just really want to learn more about him and see what's going to happen I can only imagine the good things that are going to come in the next book. Until May with this series.

Uglies

Uglies
by Scott Westerfeld

I'm not one for the whole sci-fi thing but I like a good book and sometimes it's good to veer off the beaten path. i tried this book out, I've had it for a while (since the summer) but haven't really touched it because I tried to read it while on vacation and yeah I was too busy basking in the sun and waves so I never got around to it. Finally I said what the heck and am I ever so happy that I did. I really really enjoyed the book a lot to the point where I went right out and bought the rest of the books in the series because I just have to know what happens. I finished this book a couple days ago but I've been slacking in the blogging department for some time now. The book reminds me a lot of trying to create a utopian society by manufacturing people to a certain ideal (does that make sense?) anyway I love the book and can't wait to find out next!!!

Maneater

Maneater
by Gigi Levangie Grazer

This book was great it was very fast paced and really makes you want to see what's going to happen next. Imagine living in California trying to date and marry a rich guy and then once you finally do everything just goes downhill because life just loves to throw you a couple curve balls. Great read, loved it and really wished I had seen the miniseries on TV when they had it but I did put it on my dvd queue so hopefully one day it will come out so I can compare. Really great book

Happy Birthday or Whatever: Track Suits, Kim Chee, and Other Family Disasters

Happy Birthday or Whatever: Track Suits, Kim Chee, and Other Family Disasters
by Annie Choi

This book took a little longer to read only cause I only had time during lunch which isn't that much time to begin with. But I finally finished it end of last week. I've just been slacking in writing about it, not because I didn't like the book but because well I haven't had time. So about the book it's a memoir about a Korean woman and her family. There are some cute stories in here, I didn't find it as hilarious as some of the other reviews but that might be because I'm not Korean. All in all good book.

Elsewhere

Elsewhere
by Garbielle Zevin

This is the first book by this author that I have read and it will not be the last. The idea of this book was great, Lizzie just died and it tells of her going to another place called Elsewhere where people live after they die instead of getting older or staying the same age they get younger and when they become babies they go back to Earth and are reborn. It's a great story about a girl realizing that she was happy in life and can also be happy in death. I think if I was ever to die I really do hope there is an Elsewhere out there. Fascinating tale and in my opinion very touching at times.
