The TWILIGHT SERIES.
ReplyDeleteAuthor:Stephanie Meyer
Genre: Fantasy kind of. Fiction
The twilight series includes
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn
They are about a teenage girl called Bella. She moves to a place called Forks. Bella falls in love with a vampire. Edward Cullen. But unexpectadly a clan of evil vampires is suddenly after Bella and not in a good way. And that is all I will say! This is a great book and I would recommend this book to an age group of 10-almost any age.

ReplyDeleteStephenie Meyer; Breaking Dawn. {4th book in the twilight series}
Genre: Fantasy kind of. Fiction
When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. If your life was all that you could give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which two tribes hangs.
From Rose.
Title: Ways to Live Forever
ReplyDeleteAuthor: Sally Nicholls
Genre: Modern Fiction
Living through the last stages of leukemia, Sam wants to know facts. Facts about UFOs, ghosts. He wants to break a world record, watch horror movies, go up the down-escalator. And Sam is determined to find answers to all of the questions nobody ever answers — all of them.
Sam is an eleven year old boy who is dieing of cancer and loves to collect stories and amazing facts.

ReplyDeleteHehe... last one was a bit too long, I'm making my post shorter.
ReplyDeleteUmm, well, I read a lot of books {I'm sure everyone knows that} but the ones I love most are written by my favourite author, Tamora Pierce.
The first book I ever read from her's was Alanna: The First Adventure.
http://hollowtreetales.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/alanna.jpg
Though a girl, Alanna has always craved the adventure and daring allowed only for boys; her twin brother, Thom, yearns to learn the art of magic. So one day they decide to switch places: Disguised as a girl, Thom heads for the convent to learn magic; Alanna, pretending to be a boy, is on her way to the castle of King Roald to begin her training as a page.
Filled with swords and sorcery, adventure and intrigue, good and evil, Alanna's first adventure begins -- one that will leard to the fulfillment of her dreams and the magical destiny that will make her a legend in her land.'I also really really really like another book series she has written. The series is called Immortals, and the first book is Wild Magic.

Blurb (for new moon): 'shoot,' i muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A Single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut.
'no!' edward roared... dazed and disoriented, i looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of muy arm - into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.
For bella swan there is one more thing that is more important than life itself: Edward cullen. but being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than bella could ever 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 clear to them, they realise their troubles may be just beginning...

ReplyDeletewhen I'm at home, in front of the mirror, I can talk real smooth. but when i get near girls my brain turns to mush. if I had a flip-top scalp you could suck it out with a straw. I just need a way of making ashleigh see what I'm really like. well, not what i'm really like, but what i'm like sometimes. well, occasionally.
