3) Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon! I am so excited for this book!! I have heard nothing but the most amazing things about it! It is about these two girls that somehow cross over this bridge and go to Scotland! I LOVE SCOTLAND! And it has romance and mystery and awesome stuff!

4) Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I am also super excited about this one as well because everyone is so in love with this series, but I still haven't gotten on the bandwagon yet and UGH! I need to read this... Soon. It's about this girl whose touch is deadly and it also has romance and action and sounds super cool!

5) Blood Red Road by Moria Young. I don't really know what this is about, but I saw the cover online and it looked super awesome so woo!

This is about this girl named Mara Dyer and she can't remember anything except for the last few days. She wakes up with amnesia in the hospital and it's about her and her lover to figure out what the heck is going on. That's all I have heard and it sounds amazing!

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff

Hi guys! So I will be reviewing How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. 

Fifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to visit her aunt and cousins she’s never met: three boys near her age, and their little sister. Her aunt goes away on business soon after Daisy arrives. The next day bombs go off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy.
As power fails, and systems fail, the farm becomes more isolated. Despite the war, it’s a kind of Eden, with no adults in charge and no rules, a place where Daisy’s uncanny bond with her cousins grows into something rare and extraordinary. But the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her cousins must lead each other into a world that is unknown in the scariest, most elemental way.

This book was so amazingly real and so influential. It taught me so much about love and family and sticking together; and how that can really help you in so many ways. This was so funny to, I laughed so hard whilst reading this! Meg, you are so talented and such an amazing writer. 

I love you all so much! I hope you liked this blog post! 

Bye!

November Wrap Up!

Hi people of the internet! So today I will be sharing with you the books that I read in November! BTW I actually took this picture! HAHAHA 

Ok I know that there is still more November, but when it is Thanksgiving, I believe that it is the end of November. So pretty much all I read was Grave Mercy by Robin LaFeveres. I am currently reading How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff and it is really short! But I might not finish it this week because I am super busy. So if you don't know what Grave Mercy book is about, then you should read my review on it, it is in my older posts. 

So that is all for this post! I hope you enjoyed and I will see you tomorrow!

Love you!

MY RESPONSE TO: EBOOKS

Hello people of the internet! So whilst I am on Thanksgiving vacation with my family, I will not be able to post, but I have decided to give you one last post before I leave from Wednsday to Sunday! And for this post I will be talking about my response about Ebooks!

I honestly hate them, sure they are books except easier and more cheap! But personally I really love the feeling of a real book, the smell, the way you turn the pages and how real books ACTUALLY HAVE COVERS (I know they show the covers on the ebook but whatever)!!!! Have you noticed that borders and all the little bookshops that were so close to where you live have just vanished like *snaps fingers* that?! That is because of ebooks. Ebooks are slowly taking over the world and it is such a sad thought to think that there could be no more books in the world after that! I am willing to buy books online (REAL ONES) just because I love actual books! I am willing to pay 20 bucks (including tax and shipping) for that one book (my mom and dad actually pay not be BUT I PAY THEM BACK, TAKE NOTES CHILDREN) because I want to feel it in my hands. I don't care how much money it is, I will do anything just for a real book. I know my family is reading this and I am telling you know that I don't buy real books to annoy you or just for the hell of it, I buy them because I want to feel and read them and make sure that that money you paid goes to harperteen or penguin, etc (those are real book publishing companies) to support having a real book in my hand, not some overrated electronic disaster. And hey, at least I'm not buying drugs. 

So, in conclusion, I despise ebooks and how they are taking over the world. 

Thank you so much for reading! Love you!
