Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone by J.K. Rowling

One of my all time favorite book series. Sorceror's Stone is the book that started it all! It is whimsical and very cute.
Harry Potter is the protagonist, and begins this story just before he turns 11 years old. He had been orphaned when he was just a year old. He was left on his aunt and uncle's door step. They were supposed to raise him as one of their own children, but they treat Harry as nothing more than a charity case who should be grateful that they didn't put him in the orphanage, and constantly remind him that he is beneath their pride and joy, his porky cousin Dudley. One day Harry receives a letter inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He begins his journey on September 1st on the Hogwarts Express. He meets and becomes friends with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, and also makes and enemy out of Draco Malfoy. The story follows Harry through discovering Quidditch, casting his first spell and battling against the potions master Severus Snape to finding out what really happened to his parents and coming face to face with their killer, Lord Voldemort.
I came across this series because my brother left this book lying around, and I have been hooked every since!

City of Bones by Cassandra Claire

I heard about this book from some friends I had talked to though Twilighters Anonymous Podcast. I decided to check it out. The one thing I can say is the book is very well written. However, the book is very much written for younger teenagers.
The main protagonist is Clary Fray. One night while out at an all ages club called Pandamonium, Clary witnesses the murder of a what she thinks is a young boy by three teenagers. She will have a hard time proving it because she is the only one who can see the teenagers and the boy that disappeared. One night Clary's mother is kidnapped and Clary is attacked by what she finds out is a demon. This is around the time that she meets Jace, Alec and Izabelle. She learns that he parents are Shadowhunters and it is her destiny to become one herself. I will leave you guys to figure out if she does ;)
As always, if you read this book or any of the others I have recommended please leave a comment and let me know what you thought.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

Okay I know that I should probably write about Twilight first, but with the movie just being released I ended up re-reading New Moon. So here is my blog on New Moon. This is the second book in the Twilight Saga. It continues the story of Edward and Bella, who fell in love in Twilight. Edward happens to be a vampire. In the beginning of New Moon Bella gets hurt and almost attacked by Edward's brother, Jasper. He is broken up about it and decides to leave Bella. She completely breaks down. She begins to hang around with Jacob Black, and to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart. She realizes that she can hear Edwards voice when she tries to get an adrenaline rush. It also happens when she is in danger. Bella goes cliff diving and Edward thinks she killed her self and rushed to Italy to the Volturi, the royal family of the vampire world. Bella rushes behind him to save his life. I will leave it there for you to find out if she got there in time!



Side Note The movie came out on November 20th and it is epic! I highly recommend it to you all!

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

I had never read a book that was strictly about Faeries until I read a thread posted in the Order of the Plaid Unicorn Book Recommendation section of the Twilighters Anonymous Podcast forums. I decided to check it out. I was absolutely blown away! The story-telling is phenominal!! The host that recommended the book did not really enjoy it as much as I did.
The main character is Aislinn. She is gifted with "Sight", she can see faeries walking among the humans. One night she is followed by a handsome faerie called Keenan. He is the King of the Summer Court, and his powers are bound by the Winter Queen. He is also separated for his Summer Queen. One by one he must chose girls and make them trust him enough to risk the Winter Queen's test. If they chose to stay with him, but not risk the test they become one of his Summer Girls bound to him and his court. If they are brave enough to take the test, but are not the Summer Queen they become the Winter Girl, the most recent being Donia. It is Donia's bound duty to persuade each girl not to trust Keenan. This is to keep him from finding his Summer Queen. Keenan and Donia spend the book pursuing Aislinn. Aislinn finally agrees to take the test...I will leave you to discover the outcome for yourselves!
As always, if you take my recommendation and read this book, please leave a comment and let me know how you enjoyed it!

Captain Wentworth's Diary by Amanda Grange

Okay, Ms.Grange knows her Austen men. This book is exceptionally well written. You "hear" Captain Wentworth's voice.
This is Jane Austen's story Persuasion told from the POV of the hero. Now I am assuming that you readers know the story of Persuasion, the story of Anne Elliot, who falls in love with Captain Wentworth. They are torn apart when she rejects him because her "friend" Lady Russell tells her that she will hold him back. When they meet years later, the feeling rekindle, but Captain Wentworth tries to deny it. Well his diary takes you through their first meeting all the way through their wedding day. You find out how he perceived certain events, and the emotions that he goes through. The most interesting parts are where he discusses thoughts that he keeps hidden from the people around him.


Ms.Grange also has other books written along this line:


Mr.Darcy's Diary,
Mr.Knightly's Diary,
Edward Bertram's Diary


As always, if you check any of these or the other books I have recommended please,please comment and let me know your thoughts on them!



Happy Reading!!!

Covet by J.K. Ward

Disclaimer: This book is basically a trashy romance novel set in a paranormal world, so DO NOT read this book unless you are over the age of 18



Wow! That is all I can say about this book! It was so intense! It really was a little harder to get into at the beginning, but once you get over the hump, OMG!!
The premise is about a construction worker named Jim, who is chosen to become a Fallen Angel. His job is to save seven people from the seven deadly sins [FYI that means that there are going to be six more books!]. The first person he has to save is a business owner by the name of Vin dePietro. You may be able to guess that the sin that he has to be saved from is avarice or greed. Jim at first thinks that his job is to get Vin to fall in love with his current girl friend, [whom by the way Jim has a steamy scene in his truck in a club parking lot with.]Devina. Although, Devina is definitely not what she appears to be. I'll leave you guys to figure that out when you read the book. As the story progresses and Jim and Vin become friends, Vin falls in love with Marie-Terese. She is also not what she appears, and again you'll have to read the book to find out!
This book is filled with the paranormal, and dare I say it...sex, sex, and more sex...well okay, maybe only like four scenes, but still its there!
Again, I ask if you guys read this book leave comments and let me know what you think.

Looking for Alaska by John Green

This is an AMAZING book. From start to finish it pulls you in and won't let go. It is the winner of the Micheal Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature.
This is the story of Miles "Pudge" Halter. He spends the first part of the book looking for the Great Perhaps. You find out that he is obsessed with famous peoples last words. He is enrolled in Culver Creek Boarding School where he meets the sexy, and crazy Alaska Young, with who he is immediately smitten. She is a HUGE practical joker. He also describes her as smelling of vanilla and cigarettes. As the story progresses Miles gets a girlfriend, but he is still attracted to Alaska. They plan a tremendous prank, consisting of sending failing report cards home to Weekday Warriors. Through out this story Alaska has a boyfriend, and one night she runs off without an explanation. What happens next turns Mile's world completely upside down. I'm going to leave it off right there, because I really think you guys should read this book even though it is young adult.
I cried when I got to the end of the book because it is just that emotional. It really does keep you hanging on from the first page to the last.

Happy Reading!

P.S. You really should check out Brotherhood 2.0 on YouTube. It is John Green with his brother Hank, and become a part of nerdfighteria!
