Thirsty

Thirsty


By M.T Anderson


This was a great book about a boy who is turning into a vampire. He doesn't know what to do and he helps this mysterious celestial being. It is a great book but the ending is left WIDE OPEN. I AM SO MAD. I want them to make a sequel.

A Great And Terrible Beauty

A Great And Terrible Beauty


By Libba Bray


This was a good book. Has fantacy and it's a cant put down book. The only bad thing I have to say is that then ending sucked.

The book is about a girl whose mother dies. She then goes to a private boarding school and meets mean and nice people. She learns about the oracle and how's she's part of it. Its awsome. But I dont like the ending. i didnt really READ the ending becasue i knew they're werent enough pages to end how i wanted. But i also DID read the ending. I kinda skimmed it.

The Staircase

The Staircase



by Ann Rinaldi



Once again, I have good things to say. This book DID start out kinda slow for me but once the main character got to the catholic school, The book was great. This book is about the staircase that was built by the mysterious carpenter. It's a great book. It's hard to pick up but once you're into it, you'll keep reading.

Keys To The Kingdom: Grim Tuesday

Keys To The Kingdom: Grim Tuesday


By Garth Nix


This is the second book to the keys of the kingdom series. For those who have read the firt book, Mister Monday, this is a great addition. Garth does a fanyastic job of not repeating what happened in the first book. The will gets unlocked a different way and Arthur gets to the House a different way. I and other Garth readers are and should be happy that this sequal is not a complete repeate of the first but an original addition. I just cant wait to see how the other sequals turn out. They are sure to be as great as the first two.

The Keys to the Kingdom: Mister Monday

The Keys to the Kingdom: Mister Monday



~Garth Nix


This is a series (probably of seven books). The main character, Arthur Penhaligon, is destined to die. He is given a key from Mister Monday, and when Arthur doesn't die, he is followed around my Monday's goons. Monday's goons leave a horrible plague and now Arthur has to go into the mysterious house to find a cure for the plague and so save everyone, and also, to fulfill the Will.


This is an awsome book. It's very interesting and cool how the book transfers from the first book to the next in the series. The second book whick i have just started reading is Grim Tuesday, and the third is Drowned Wednesday. I dont know what the others are called but i'm guessing there will be seven.

Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale

Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale



~Holly Black

(This is a book review i wrote for english class)



The novel, Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale, is a wonderfully written book by Holly Black. I found myself reluctant to put it down before i was finished. The way the story unfolds makes so much sense and you'll be happy for the main character when she figures stuff out. The book is so well written,I could visualize the scenes as if i were watching a movie. I did'nt feel like i was reading a book and there wasnt too much description. If you are interested in fantacy, you will love this book.

(I wrote more but that's all i feel like typing)

Beauty Sleep

Beauty Sleep



Author- Cameron Dokey

This is another story about sleeping beauty. It is told by Aurora herself. This story is different. Auora doesnt grow up with faeries. She grows up in the palace with her parents. I highly recommend this book for people who like faerie tales. This book is full of sirpises. especially Aurora's descision at the end. I didn't see that one commin'....
