so, i realized i hadn't done a lot of book reviews lately, and my blog posts have been lacking-- A LOT. so, here's what books i've read, and lemme do full reviews-- please. thanks.

Summary » What if all your wishes could come true? Blink your eyes, drink a fizzing pink potion, and poof! Life is perfect. That’s Rachel’s situation. Except she’s not the one who suddenly has magical powers. Her younger sister is. And as Rachel would tell you, spellbooks are wasted on the young!

Yes, yes, of course world peace and cures for horrible diseases are important. But so is dancing without looking like she’s being electrocuted, winning back her best friend, stopping her dad’s wedding, and finding a date for Spring Fling.

Rachel’s not bewitched. Yet. . . .


My Thoughts » Goodness, goodness, goodness! I fell in love with this book when I saw it on the shelf at the library. It is a hilarious childish comedy written in teenage words. It was so adorable! I recommend it to a lot of people girls who enjoy romantic comedies. It was almost movie-made. READ THIS BOOK. You need to guys. I'm reading the second book, I love it so far!

Language » I don't remember everything because it's been a little while since I've read it. But right now, all I can remember is h***, a**, p*****. I think people swore under their breath and stuff, too.

Violence » I do not remember anything but arguements. There were some parts where people bumped into each other and stuff like that, but it was it.

Romance // S**uality » There was a lot of flirting, kissing, there was a party too. And there was a dance at high school, too.

Other » Nothing else except for her little sister being a witch. They called there Dad's girlfriend a Step-Monster though.

Summary » It all starts with six kids. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel. They escaped from the School and here they go back to the School looking for Angel, who was kidnapped by the Erasers.

Would you be scared to be a Level Eleven because you're DNA is 98% human, and 2% bird? Hello, yes! The School is hunting you down. The head Eraser is a seven-year old who you used to know. Max, you know she's got this all covered-- hopefully.

My Thoughts » This was awesome! It was an awesome page-turner from page uno. There was amazing powers, everything! Read this book, it was incredible! I'm about to read the second book and am very excited! 

Language » A lot of forms of g-d. Then, swearing under their breath, I think that was it. 

Romance // S-xuality » Nothing at all except for family love.

Violence » Well, besides people wanting to kill them all, Gasman and Iggy blow up there house. Then, there are boys with guns.

Other » There are some arguments and there is boys teasing a little girl and Max scares the boys off.

Summary » Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife-between desire and danger.Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite. (found on goodreads)

My Thoughts » This was a really good book! I was nervous about reading this book because of the subject matter, but after my parents were okay with it, I was fine. It was a really good book. There were some parts that I zoned out in so I don't remember minor parts. I liked the plot, it was really interesting. I really enjoyed the story Jacob told about the Cullen's and his kind I already knew before I read the book that Edward (love him) was a vampire and Jacob was a wear wolf.

I used to hate Twilight and I know a lot of people feel that way. (JesusChick and KayleeBeth comes to mind) But honestly, I thought I'd give it a shot. It's like you hated something as a kid, you tried it ten years later-- and you love it! 

I did see the movie, and I was very disappointed with it. It changed a lot of things (Almost COUNTLESS) and I got really aggravated, and I kept interrupting the movie saying, "Oh! That didn't happen in the book. This is what happened..." So, the book was good-- movie, horrible. 

Language  » There was h***, many forms of da**. Then people swore under there breath, too.

Romance // S**uality » There was flirting, and kissing. Then Edward also comes into Bella's room at night and watches her sleep.

Violence » There was these vampires that were trackers, and when Edward invited Bella to his family baseball game, the trackers show up on the field and one, (James) makes a plan to track Bella down and-- well you get the point. And then, just the subject matter-- vampires and wearwolves.

Other » Um........ There's one fit moment between Bella and Charlie. I think that's it...

Summary » For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning.... (found on goodreads) 

My Thoughts » This was a whole lot better than the first-- to me. I really liked how much time Bella had to spend with Jacob. It got me onto Jacob's story, it gave a lot more suspense. I did switch to Team Jacob in the middle of the book while Edward was gone. Then, Edward came back. He almost committed suicide because Rosalie told him Bella committed suicide by jumping off of that cliff. It was just an adrenaline rush for her-- but hello? Romeo and Juliet relationship! I can't resist it! Give me away, girls! I am a sucker for zat! 

Language  » All forms of da**, h***, p*****.

Romance // S**uality » Kissing, flirting, Romeo and Juliet. 

Violence  » Well, Edward talked about suicide if Bella ever died. Bella kept putting herself in danger to hear Edward's voice better telling her not to do that

Other » Um... Well, there were big arguements, moping around. I think that was it.
