book review--Meridian

MERIDIAN By: Amber Kizer Publishing in 08/09 Meridian is a human portal, but she doesn't know that, through her younger years, all she saw was death everywhere. On her 16th birthday things changed, her parents left her and told her to go to her aunt… where she found out the she was…. A Fenestra. In this book the protagonist is a weak and confused girl, who slowly gains her courage through riveting situations. If you tend to like Meg Cabots' Mediator series then this might be an awesome read.

Book review--Demon Chick

Demon Chick
By: Marilyn Kaye
Publishing in:- 09/09

If you were a presidential candidate?s daughter, you?d be pretty happy with your life, well it?s the opposite for Jessica. She never got to know her mother enough to love/ hate her, if that weren?t enough her own mother has sold her soul to the devil. But the devil distributes ?sold? teens to demons, and she?s got Brad, a nice demon.

This novel shows Jessica?s adventure and how she goes back to earth to finish some business. There is only one glitch: This book sounds a little unfinished at the end?. But still is a good read.

BOOK REVIEW:- Once Dead, Twice Shy

ONCE DEAD, TWICE SHY By:- KIM HARRISON Publication date: June, '09             In this world of guardian angels, reapers, both light/dark, timekeepers and a dead girl. The protagonist, Madison has just died… but her soul hasn't. She has a temporary body from a stolen amulet, a reaper who can't teach her any. Soon through  fateful turns of destiny she starts to see what's in store for her future.            This is a fun, mellow and heroic book. The protagonist in this book is upright, full of courage, and makes those dangerous decisions that go against all the warning that her friends give her. If you have a taste for Amelia Atwater-Rhodes's books then you might just like this one except the concept of this book is light not very dark.

Book reviewers it's that time again

I have just returned from 3 days at TLA with a box of advanced copies of soon to be published books. For those of you who have done this before, there is a new blog for posting reviews. For those who haven't, here's the drill: come by the library and pick out an advanced copy to read. Write a brief review that includes Title, Author, Publisher, and your thoughts on the book. Be sure to give a brief summary, but don't give it away. Also, make sure you give a recommendation as to whether the library should by it or not. If you use good reads, don't forget to post it there as well.
I scrapped the old blog and created this one with the hope of keeping up with it more. I created an email post so you don't have to be on blogger to post your review. When you come by to get a book, I will give you the email.
I look forward to seeing you next week...Happy reading!

spring break reading

This has been a busy spring break reading wise.
I began by finishing The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, by E. Lockhart. This is a fabulous book! Frankie comes of age and realizes who she is, and who she does not want to be. It is not the typical happy ending romantic comedy. It has bite and meaning.
Also this week, Glass Houses, by Rachel Caine. This one is a Tayshas book and has been quite popular. It is a bit different in the current vampire genre. The story was interesting and the action exciting. The ending definitely left a sequel (or 4) an option.
Eternal, by Cynthia Leitich Smith, rounded out my vampire books. I really liked the ending. I am getting really sick of happily ever after. This one definitely has "star crossed lovers" going on--an angel and a vampire falling in love. Apparently, characters from this book and Tantalize will cross paths in Blessed, a sort of sequel for both.
In addition to the vampire fair, I read The Murder of Bindy Mackenzie. This one was more difficult for me. Perhaps I have become more drawn to fantasy, but I had a hard time feeling any sympathy for Bindy. She was quite humorous in her self interested sort of way, but I was reminded of Renneson's Georgia Nicholson books, which I think are better.
Currently, I am reading The Secret Hour, book one of the Midnighters series, by Scott Westerfield. So far, so good. I'll add more about that later...
