Maze Runner

Maze Runner Author: James Dashner Pages: 384 Published By: Delacorte Press Published On: October 6, 2009 If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human. When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone. Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade. Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive. Everything is going to change. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying. Remember. Survive. Run. This book was really good!! I mean it was a page turner. I was extremely hooked on and I keep reading it none stop. I thought it was well developed and it wasn't boring. I can't wait to read Scorch Trail.  So basically the main character is Thomas; he has no memory of the past and feels like he's been to this place before but ...

Waiting On Wednesday-Broken Hearts, Fences And Other Things To Mend

Image
Broken Hearts, Fences And Other Things To Mend  Author: Katie Finn Pages: 339 Published By: Feiwel & Friends Published On: May 13, 2014 Hot sun. Blue waves. New romances. Old secrets. Gemma had her summer all planned out, but it takes a sharp turn when she gets dumped and finds herself back in the Hamptons after a five-year absence. Being there puts her at risk of bumping into Hallie, her former best friends (that is, before Gemma ruined her life). But people don't hold grudges forever. Do they? Gemma intends on making amends, but a small case of mistaken identity causes the people she knew years ago—including Hallie and her dreamy brother, Josh—to believe she's someone else. As though the summer wasn't complicated enough already. Filled with summer sun, boys, and friendships gone sour, Katie Finn's first novel in the Broken Hearts and Revenge series sizzles and delights. Honestly doesn't this book sound interesting. The title is really long though....

Harry Potter Moment Of The Week

Image
This weekly meme was created by  Lunar Rainbows . -------- Favorite Chapter Title?  Oh my gosh. Some of the Harry Potter titles make me die of laughter. I like the title because they actually make sense with what's going on in the chapter. Some books, the chapter name doesn't even make any sense.  My favorite is from Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone. It's called The Journey from the Platform Nine and Three quarters. I don't know if I spelled that right. I think it's cool because it is basically the start of Hogwarts. It is what gets him to Hogwarts. Well beside Mr. Weasly's bewitched car. That's my favorite.  <3 ya!!! BAI!!!!!  

Waiting On Wednesday- Everything Everything

Everything Everything Author: Nicola Yoon Pages: 320 Published By: Delacorte Books for Young Readers Published On: September 1, 2015 My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster Is it just me or is that summary interesting? I really can't wait to get my hands on this book!! The cover is so pretty. It's just screaming Read Me!! I really can...

Top Ten Tuesday

This weekly meme was created by  Broke and Bookish . -------- Top Ten Favorite Quotes  I don't remember every book I have read word by word and I don't have the books in front of me so I might just paraphrase the ones I don't remember but want to quote from. 1. The Selection Series. When America says when people tell each other things, they don't tell the exact details. Those details are keep secrets until the person dies and no one will ever know them. It probably doesn't make any sense. Sorry.  2. " I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" -Harry Potter ( I forgot which book it was from )  3. " I don't think you have to do something so big to be brave. And it's the little things that are harder anyways." -Since you've been gone, Morgan Matson I don't have many favorite quotes obviously. So this is my top three... Hahaha.... Sorry. I don't have much. <3 ya!!! BAI!!!

Fahrenheit 451

Image
Fahrenheit 451 Author: Ray Bradbury Pages: 227 Published By: Voyagers Published On: March 28, 2013 Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic dystopian novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 stands alongside Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which, decades on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.   This book was a complete TROLL!!!! I mean in the ver...

Since You've Been Gone

Since You've Been Gone Author: Morgan Matson Pages: 449 Published By: Simon & Schuster Published On: May 6, 2014 It was Sloane  who yanked Emily out of her shell and made life 100% interesting. But right before what should have been the most epic summer, Sloane just…disappears. All she leaves behind is a to-do list. On it, thirteen Sloane-inspired tasks that Emily would normally never try. But what if they could bring her best friend back? Apple picking at night?  Okay, easy enough. Dance until dawn?  Sure. Why not? Kiss a stranger?  Um...  Emily now has this unexpected summer, and the help of Frank Porter ( totally  unexpected), to check things off Sloane's list. Who knows what she’ll find? Go skinny-dipping?  Wait...what? This book was really unique and thrilling. It was something I'd never expect and it had a special twist. It was a really one of a kind book. The main character was Emily. She is this background girl ...
