Review: Graceling by Kristin Cashore

Finally finished it. I had a lot of problems with this book.

Pros: 1. Kristin Cashore had this way with writing that made me want to read the book all night. Its the way she wrote it, not the content though. 2. Liked the characters. Especially Po and Bitterblue.

Cons: 1. Hated the twists. They were not creative what so ever. 2. The author just threw bits and pieces of stuff in there. 3. It felt like they were going in circles the whole book. 4. Katsa, oh God how I hated Katsa. 5. Kristin Cashore dragged out the story more than it should have. 6. Leck, Po's eyes(at the end), Po giving Katsa his ring, just twists like that were boring. I think I already said that.

Overall, it was an okay book. Had a good plotline and everything. I for one, just wasn't a fan of it. I don't think I'll read Fire, but I might read Bitterblue.        

Writing Wednesday(a day late, sorry!)

Speaking of school, I'm going back to school in 11 days, so I won't be reading or vlogging or blogging as much as I want. OH, btw, I'm trying to reach 100 subscribers by October, so.....Help me?

But then the Searchers make her an offer—one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack—and the man—she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive


Rating: 5/5 stars

DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU HAVE NOT READ NIGHTSHADE OR WOLFSBANE. IT WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST ONE, AND MINOR SPOILERS FOR WOLFSBANE.



I loved this sooooooooo much. I am totally team Searcher. We were introduced to a whole new world in here, and I loved it! There was very little that I didn't like.

Pros:1. A whole new world is introduced, a very cool one at that. 2.I loved all of the new characters. Connor was a smart a**. Adne was tough, but still a girl on the inside. Ethan scarred from losing his brother, and almost killing someone elses brother (whom I will not say) while also having a teeny crush on a girl. 3. This was action packed from page one. 4. It had some romance in it. Always gotta love romance. 5. THE TWIST AT THE END! OMG, I was not expecting that.

Cons: 1.Shay was a jerk. Ren was kind of a jerk too, but then I kept on reading, and I understood. Shay had no excuse though. 2. Andrea Cremer kept on killing people! And she either made them depressed or took away their reason to live. I understand that this is a war, but couldn't she kill off my least favorite characters?        

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
Rating: 4/5 stars

Characters: 4. Lena was annoying at parts. "Don't love me! I'm going Dark!" That was annoying to hear over and over and over in the book. Amma was annoying as heck.
Plot: 4. I've never really read a book about witches. This was a first. But, the whole Light and Dark thing, was a little over the top. I still liked it though.
Writing: 4. Some parts were slow.
Addictiveness: 3 nothing really made me not want to put it down.
Romance: 4. Over the top, but still cute.

Overall, this book gets a FOUR.

Dr.A discusses: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

I promised you a disscussion, and you'll get one.

Setting: The setting is in Paris, France. The city of love, of lights, of AWESOMENESS! I could tell just from the setting that it was going to be good. It was mostly set in the city of Paris, in a school for Americans. There were some scenes when they were either in America or in the city. Overall, I loved the setting.
Characters: I loved all of them. I mostly loved St. Clair. Rashmi, Josh, Mer, Anna, little Seany :D. They all have a speacil place in my heart. Not Bridgette and Toph, but you have to read the book to get why I said that.
The twists: The twists definitly kept me going all through the night. I can't say the twists, it will spoil you. But, I will just say this: Poor St. Clair :'(
The Friendships: I adored every single friendship in here. St. Clair and Josh, they had a typical bromance. Rashmi and Mer, two hurt girls that bond after losing there best friend. Anna and St. Clair.....need I say more?
The Romance <3: I loved the romance. St. Clair and Ellie, I thought they were adorable, up until page 100 or so. Josh and Rashmi, loved them. They were hilarious together. St. Clair and Anna........don't want to spoil it for you!!!

Well, that's it for Dr.A discusses #1! I hope you guys enjoy and stay tuned for next week!

Review:Anna and the French Kiss

Anna is looking foward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.

As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near - misses end with the French kiss Anna - and readers - have long awaited?

Rating: 5/5 stars

Where has this book been all my life??? This was fantastic in every single way. I loved every bit about it. There really was nothing to hate. The characters, the love, the pain, the humor. I felt it ALL in this book. It was hilarious and deep at the same time. Anna, was the awesomenest character ever. Rashmi, sarcastic and hurt her best friend left her. Josh, sad that his friends are leaving. Mer, loving one of her closest friends. St. Clair, oh dear God, St. Clair. I can't put it into words how much I love him. Why can't all guys be like him, AND BE AMERICAN. He's American, British, French, all of the good countries mixed into one. I WILL KILL THOSE WHO MADE FUN OF HIM IN THE EIGHTH GRADE. Of course I remember that part. I remember EVERYTHING. This is one of the best books ever written and I can't wait for more of Stephanie Perkins writing.
