Second Chance!!!

Second Chance, like the rest of Heather's Brewer stuff, is really awesome! If you've read Vladimir Tod, you'll know who Joss is. He's a vampire slayer who is sent to kill Vlad. The Slayer Chronicles are what happened to Joss to make him become a vampire hunter. This is the second book in the series and I find them really intriguing. I don't want to spoil any secrets besides Joss being a vampire slayer, I'll let you do that yourself. I highly recommend these books to anyone, especially Vladimir Tod fans. I have one question that I'm dying to ask Heather Brewer though, is Joss McMillan named after Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the vampire slayer?

Eve and Adam!

I really like Michael Grant's books so I figured I'd try out this one. I didn't think I'd like it, but it's not bad. The idea is really interesting, the only downer was the romance in it. The idea of the story is that Eve gets hurt and is able to heal really fast, faster than normal. Her mom allows Eve to make a human, but she thinks she's just designing one. Then Eve and her friend Solo find some secrets about her mom's work, and they plan to reveal them. Until they find out that Adam (the guy Eve created) was real. If you like books like this you'll like Eve and Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate.

Freak the Mighty!

I read this book for the school book club and it really wasn't one of my favorites. It's about a small kid that looks 4 who is really 14 and a really tall kid. They become unlikely friends and run away from bullies together. The tall kid's dad is a criminal and haunts the kid. The book is a drama and I don't really like dramas. So if this book sounds interesting to you, check it out and find out more details.

Mission Accomplished!!

Last year I decided that I was going to keep track of all the pages I read just to see how much of a book worm I am. Yesterday was my last day to add any books to my book log and I reached my goal. My original goal was 25,000 pages, but I read that many in April so I still had two months left. I decided to go for 30,000 because it was the end of school and I would be getting some time to read. In one year I have been able to read 30,027 pages and 83 books with an average of 362 pages each. I am definitely proud that I reached my goal, but now I have 43 (or so) books to review on my blog that I have neglected to blog about because I was so busy reading a different book by then. I will hopefully be blogging about them a lot this month. I am also starting over on keeping track of the books to read to see if I can beat my goal. I don't think I'll be able to read as much because of all the classes I'm taking this summer, next summer, and during the school year. My new goal is only 20,000 pages.
