Inside out by Maria V. Snyder


Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder
Published April 1, 2010
5 out of 5 stars
Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads:
Keep your head down. Don't get noticed. Or else. I'm Trella. I'm a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my own until I accidently start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution.
Review:
I just want to start off and say that since Blogger hasn't been working in forever that I have read a couple of books since I read this book so my memory is a little hazy. Ok, since I told you that my memory isn't that good on this book, I will move on to tell you what I think of this book.
This book is really good. I didn't reliaze when I was reading the book, but I am addicted to Maria's writing. I just think how the book was explained and how everything is the way it is, is just amazing. I guess that is it for this review. I am sad that I didn't put that much, but I just cannot remember that much. I do remember that I LOVED IT, so everyone just go and read it if you haven't.

Got me so books! :)

I got some money yesterday, so I bought me some books at the grocery store. I got and I was totally excited that they had it . . . was Across the Universe by Beth Revis (I was like jumping for joy there and my mother was looking at me like I was weird :) ), I only have 180 pages or so left. The book so far is really good, and I like how when people review this book they say if they thought that they thought everyone did it once or another. I just would like to say that like 20 or so pages after the person after Amy was found I have convinced myself that it is this one person (of course I won't say who until I do the review, and I will say that the next thing is going to be a spoiler or watever.) The other book I got yesterday was the first bind-up of Vampire Diaries. I just have one more thing to say then I will be done with my little update. I did finish up Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder, a really good and addicting book. Review will be up some time. I guess that is it so bye!!

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann



Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann



Published February 8, 2011


3 out of 5


Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads:

The community of Cryer's Cross, Montana (population 212) is distraught when high school freshman Tiffany disappears without a trace. Already off-balance due to her OCD, 16-year-old Kendall is freaked out seeing Tiffany's empty desk in the one-room school house, but somehow life goes on ... until Kendall's boyfriend Nico also disappears, and also without a trace. Now the town is in panic. Alone in her depression and with her OCD at an all-time high, Kendall notices something that connects Nico and Tiffany: they both sat at the same desk. She know it's crazy, but Kendall finds herself drawn to the desk, dreaming of Nico and wondering if maybe she, too, will disappear ... and whether that would be so bad. Then she begins recieving graffiti messages on the desk from someone who can only be Nico. Can he possibly be alive somewhere? Where is he? And how can Kendall help him? The only person who believes her is Jacian, the new guy she finds irritating ... and attractive. As Kendall and Jacian grow closer, Kendall digs deeper into Nico's mysterious disappearance only to stumble upon some ugly - and deadly - local history. Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.

Review:

This book is along with all of the other Lisa McMann books is really a quick read. Her books always have an interesting plot and occasionly characters. This ARC copy of this book was part of a contest that I won. This book had a really fast moving plot and such a weird ending. I like how Kendall, the main character, had OCD, but Lisa McMann writes in third point of view, so you really don't get to see into her head to see just how an OCD person feels. This story was really interesting. I liked how the ending was, but this book only got three out of five stars. It did because it was just an okay book that didn't land into a favorite catergory. I really liked (okay I just liked the uniqueness of the how the people disappeared and why), but I for some reason like books that are that creepy. If you have read it please tell me if you agree on how Nico and Tiffany disappeared and what they did. I definately recommend to read this book (it has only around 230 pages with very large font). It only took 2 hours, and if I was reading this same book that had 200 pages added on or more with the same plot and everything I wouldn't recommend. Yep, this is my review. Thanks for reading this, and have a great day that is full of reading.

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick



Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick


Published October 19, 2010


5 out of 5 stars


Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads;

Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but atleast she got a gurdian angel out of it: a mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous gurdian angel. But, despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever and more worse, he's started spending time with Nora's arch-enemy, Marcie Millar. Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feeling that he's hiding something. Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself increasingly in dangerous situations as she desperately searches for answers. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everthing - and everyone - she trusts.

Review:

This books was crazy. It was soooo good. The ending was like whatttt?!?! I am so ready to get the next book. I had no idea that who was doing everything was the one doing it. That made me like the book so much more than I already did. There was only two things that kind of made me mad that Vee basically only talked about food (I feel like the author decided that is how Vee is all about, but I felt like Vee could have been deeper or something other than a best friend that is curvy and is all about food all the time), and I feel when an author decides to hurt one of it's main character that they should full out and make them like on the edge of the death. (I know that is weird but that is just how it seems like it should be except that it didn't work in Twilight). This book was definately a couple of thumb ups from the last book because of all the tension and questions I had left after and during I read this one. All of you should defiantly check this book and the first one out!

What I got bookwise last week . .

I told you some time like 2 or 3 weeks ago that I won a contest over at acbookjunkies. I recieved that package last Wednesday. It was awesome to get it!! I had a True Blood poster (it's up, Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel, Evernight by Claudia Gray, Cryer's Crossing by Lisa Mcmann, a book plate signed by Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl, Firelight book mark, Firelight little thing that is the size of a postcard that isn't, a Firelight little sticker, postcard signed by the author of 13 to Life, and I almost forgot the first season of Vampire Diaries. Whew, that was a lot. I told you every single thing that I got for that.
I also got something else this week that was totally unexpected. I got Crescendo signed by Becca Fitzpatrick that on the package outside it said media mail and that was it(weird, huh?). I was like I didn't even know or had emails or anything to let me know that I was going to get it. That was really fun to get. Yep, that is what I got last week. Sorry, that there is no pictures of it. I don't have a camera, and pictures that I can take on my phone cannot upload to the computer.
