Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

Hey Wormies! So, if you are a Cassandra Clare fan this is for you. The final installment of the
Infernal Devices trilogy was released about two weeks ago. I know this is a little late, but I'm busy lol. I am currently reading this and let me tell you, It is AMAZING! Here's the synopsis:

"THE INFERNAL DEVICES WILL NEVER STOP COMING
A net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. Mortmain plans to use his Infernal Devices, an army of pitiless automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters. He needs only one last item to complete his plan: he needs Tessa Gray.
Charlotte Branwell, head of the London Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain before he strikes. But when Mortmain abducts Tessa, the boys who lay equal claim to her heart, Jem and Will, will do anything to save her. For though Tessa and Jem are now engaged, Will is as much in love with her as ever.
As those who love Tessa rally to rescue her from Mortmain’s clutches, Tessa realizes that the only person who can save her is herself. But can a single girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?
Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment, and the tangled threads of love and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of destruction in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy."

Don't skip the ending to Tess, Will, Jem's story! You will regret it! I so wish I could meet Clare. Gaahh. Anyways! Have a great week!

Enjoy!

The Host Review (CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)

Hey Wormies! So, today, my best friend and I went to see The Host. I must say that I was so incredibly skeptical about going to see this movie. I was afraid it was going to be another Tw
ilight mishap. But now that Stephenie is the executive producer, the movie came out much better than I had thought it would. However, even though I did like the movie as a whole, there were a few things that I felt a little iffy about.

Let me start out by saying that during the credits I got to see the City of Bones trailer. That movie definitely makes me nervous. I think that from a first glance, the characters look alllllllll wrong. But because I am a true fan, and really respect Cassandra Clare, I am going to give it a chance, show my support and go see the movie.

Ok now onto The Host. Let's see where do I want to start? Well how about at the opening credits? I absolutely loved the opening. The whole Earth thing with the title across it. Loved it. The Morgan Freeman type voice giving the history? Loved it. It was really cool.

However, now it's time for some negative. I felt that the movie sort of dragged. My best friend has never read the book and she was getting a little bored. The beginning was fast paced, but after the point where Melony gets captured and implanted with Wanda things got a little slow.

Now for some positive. I thought the actors they picked were really good. I loveddd Jared and Kyle. Jeb was PERFECT. He was soo funny. Maggie was more hostile than I remember her being in the book. But it worked nicely. Melony/Wanda looked a little young to me, but she was ok. I didn't dislike her, but I didn't LOVE LOVE LOVE her either. That make sense?

Speaking of Wanda/Melony. I know this is going to sound really picky but I didn't like the whole voice in her head bit. It just sounded really cheese and echoy and unrealistic.  I know that we never get what we picture in our minds as we read, but I thought it was a little over done, like Edwards sparkling skin in Twilight.

Is it wrong that I'm making Twilight references? I'm not trying to compare them, but those are the examples that pop into my mind as I type this.

I think that is all my beefs. Over all, I really liked it. My friend even thought it was a cute movie. I will say that they stuck pretty true to the book. They got all the important plot points in. I did miss the part where Wes, the old ill man, dies and they have to bury him. Wes in the movie was a young kid who gets taken out by the seeker. Oh ya! And I may be wrong, but I don't remember the seeker finding the rebel hide-out in the book. If I'm wrong, someone let me know. Its been a while since I read the book.

So ya. That's about all I got to say. I really like the credit song. It was perfect I think. And the ending was great. It was different than I remember it in the book, but It was still good.

I think they did a great job. Now, I really hope Stephenie Meyers gets around to writing a sequel. I would reallly APPRECIATE IT! Steph, if you're reading this, please please please please. WRITE A SEQUEL!!

I think that about wraps it up! Go see the movie, and ya, have a great week!

Enjoy!

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl



This is the latest book I have read. It was ok. I really liked the idea behind the book, but I felt it was slow in some departments. It was good enough that I will read the rest of the books though. So look into it if this interests you!

"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."

The movie for this book is released in the US on Feb. 13. My book group and I will be going to see it so expect a review!

It's Been A While

Hey everyone! I hope your Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's were amazing. Mine were all pretty bittersweet. I haven't had anytime to update this site in a long time. Senior year has been pretty crazy for me and a lot has happened. It is now February and I have some new things to tell you all so here it goes:

1) I started the new year's reading list on January 7, 2013 and I plan to read until that day in 2014. I will hopefully be finding some time to update the current reading page for last year and put up the new one for this year. I didn't get as many read as I had originally hoped. Like I said, my classes, school activities, family stuff, and church have kept just about all of my time these last few months.

2) I have not written anything new on the High School Romance page. I still have a writer's block. Some authors don't even believe that exists. They think you just haven't been inspired. Maybe that's true. Either way, Sam and Grace's story has not progressed. I think I am going to put it away for now. Let it rest and then come back to it. However, I have been working on some new stuff in my Creative Writing Class. I have started playing around with a cop drama that I am pretty excited about.

3) I am still going to continue the Nicholas Sparks challenge. That like everything else has taken a back seat to me hectic life. I have however started reading the Notebook and I have to say, its good, but the movie version may be better. . .I am so excited about Safe Haven coming out. For those who don't know, it comes out in the US on Feb. 14 and it looks amazing. 

I think that is all I had to tell you guys. I really am sorry about not posting anything sooner. Until I write again, have a great week, or weeks!

Enjoy!

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (SPOILERS)

Hey guys! I hope you are all having a great Thanksgiving week, that is if you live in or are from the U.S. I currently have my entire family staying with me, so my house is incredibly noisy. My Aunt and I went to see Breaking Dawn Part 2 today and I have to say, 5 hours later, my heart still isn't the same. I won't spoil the ending because you have to experience if for yourself but I will say this, IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!! (I really will try not to spoil too much, but be advised, there may be things you don't want to read about. . .if you're one of those fans)

I could not believe the things that were happening. My Aunt and I were just staring at the screen in total shock. I liked how they chose to start the film. However I will say that the song choice for me was strange, as it was several other times in the movie. I didn't always feel that the music matched the seriousness of the tone, or the funny moments between family members. In that department,  I thought it was lacking. I did love all the music, don't get me wrong, I just didn't love the placement. I have to say I loved the Thousand Years remake. You will understand when I say, it totally made the scene 100xs stronger. It was beautiful. It happens to be one of those scenes that only fans of the books would really fully understand.

At first I thought the movie was flying by. I was shocked at how fast the plot was moving along. Then I realized that the movie seemed fast because it was only covering half of the book. When I really thought about it, it really wasn't that off. The credits were really good. They went through all the actors from all of the past books and listed their name and character. It was a nice tribute and I felt that it fit well.

Let's talk Baby Renesmee. Baby Renesmee was so adorable, but she would have been better if she weren't so obviously not real. I get that they only had so much that they could do to make it seem real enough, but it kind of bothered me for some reason. And it wasn't just Renesmee as a baby either. Before the child actress came in, she seemed a little, I don't know, dream like, if that makes sense. She seemed like she wasn't really there. I tried to over look it. If that's all I have to complain about, then the movie was pretty amazing. It by far was the best movie in the series. I was really thrilled by how it turned out. I was so scared that they were going to have to change things to make it more appealing to those who hadn't read the book. I can't say more on that without spoiling the movie completely.

I am really sad that the fandom is over. I have had some good times with these books. I can't wait to see what Stephenie has for us next. But I will say, that whatever it is, please don't compare it to Twilight. Nothing she will ever write will be in the same category as Twilight. She may branch out and write murder mysteries like J. K. Rowling. But that doesn't mean that that murder mystery is anything like Harry Potter. Does that make sense? Give her future work a chance, like I know some of you did for The Host. She deserves that. I really am expecting her to start working on something new if she hasn't already, now that the movies are all over with. I'm so excited!

Let me know what you thought of the movie and leave me a comment! Have a great Thanksgiving, or Thursday, which ever fits for you!

Breaking Dawn Part 2 Is Here!!!

Hey guys!! Breaking Dawn Part 2 is finally hitting theaters! Friday night is the midnight premiere. I did that for Twilight, and I don't think I'll do it again. Its just too loud and you can't focus on the movie. So I prefer to wait a few days. This year I am taking my aunt, who is visiting for the holidays, to see it. The DVD probably won't hit stores for Christmas, but I still don't have Part 1, so that's on my list. You will all have to leave me comments so I know whether its good or not. However, I think that the ending is probably not accurate. The trailers show a fight scene at the end between the Volturi and the Cullens, which fans know, didn't actually happen. But I am still going to go with an open mind. They have to make it exciting for marketing and box office purposes so I will think of it as an alternate ending. Anyways those of  you going to the midnight showing, have fun! And comment below!

Red Rain by R. L. Stine

Hey all! I have seriously been really bad at posting since school started this year. But today I have some down time, (I'm currently on my T.A. period. . .doing nothing) So I thought I would post. I am still reading Defending Jacob for my AP Lit class, and I have started my next book group book which is, Red Rain by R. L. Stine. We decided to start something scary due to the fact that it was around Halloween when we last met. I am only about 100 pages in (or so) and its really not bad. It definitely has a creeptastic vibe to it so if that's what you're looking for check it out! Here's the synopsis:

"R.L. Stine, New York Times bestselling author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series—two of the bestselling children’s book series of all time—now sets his sights on adults with a terrifying new horror novel centered on a town in the grip of a sinister revolt.

Before there was J. K. Rowling, before there was Stephenie Meyer or Suzanne Collins, there was R.L. Stine. Witty, creepy, and compulsively readable, his books defined horror for a generation of young readers— readers who have now come of age. In Red Rain, Stine uses his unerring knack for creating terror to tap into some very grownup fears. Travel writer Lea Sutter finds herself on a small island off the coast of South Carolina, the wrong place at the wrong time. A merciless, unanticipated hurricane cuts a path of destruction through the island and Lea barely escapes with her life.
In the storm’s aftermath, she discovers two orphaned boys—twins. Filled with a desire to do something to help, to make something good of all she witnessed, Lea impulsively decides to adopt them. The boys, Samuel and Daniel, seem amiable and immensely grateful; Lea’s family back on Long Island—husband Mark, a child psychologist, and their two children, Ira and Elena—aren’t quite so pleased. But even they can’t anticipate the twins’ true nature—or predict that, within a few weeks’ time, Mark will wind up implicated in two brutal murders, with the police narrowing in.
For the millions of readers who grew up on Goosebumps, and for every fan of deviously inventive horror, this is a must-read from a beloved master of the genre."

Have a great week!

Defending Jacob by William Landay

I am currently reading this book for my AP Lit class. I apsolutley love it so far! I am very interested in the court house scene. I love cop dramas such as Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Bones, Rizzoli & Isles, CSI: Miami, and things like that. If you are into those types of shows, this is something you might be interested in.

"Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife, Laurie, and son, Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: His fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student.
Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. Andy must. He’s his father. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own—between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he’s tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.
Award-winning author William Landay has written the consummate novel of an embattled family in crisis—a suspenseful, character-driven mystery that is also a spellbinding tale of guilt, betrayal, and the terrifying speed at which our lives can spin out of control."

I will post when I am finished to let you know how I liked it!

Sorry Its Been Awhile. . .Grave Mercy Review

Hey guys! Sorry its been so long but as I am currently a Senior in High School, my life has been extremely hectic. I rarely have time to read let alone post about it. However, I did recently read Grace Mercy by Robin Lafevers. I really liked it however, at times it was slow. If you like the medieval scene, this book is for you. I am one of those people. I love the courts and castles, the the threat of invading countries, and the betrayal of those who are known to be your allies. The romance aspect to this novel is extremely slow due to the fact that the protagonist is loyal to her convent and her God. She never wanted love nor did she expect to find it. This book has so many different things going on. To me it could even be classified as a mystery if you will. If this sounds interesting to you, look into it, read it, and comment and let me know what you thought! Hopefully I can find more time to post since I have a computer class everyday. So until my next post, have a great week!

The Enemy by Charlie Higson

Hey y'all!! I just found this book series of accident while searching for another post! These look interesting if you are into disease and plague.They sound similar to books such as Ashes, Ashes or The Eleventh Plague or even Enclave and the Partials.

"In the wake of a devastating disease, everyone sixteen and older is either dead or a decomposing, brainless creature with a ravenous appetite for flesh. Teens have barricaded themselves in buildings throughout London and venture outside only when they need to scavenge for food. The group of kids living a Waitrose supermarket is beginning to run out of options. When a mysterious traveler arrives and offers them safe haven at Buckingham Palace, they begin a harrowing journey across London. But their fight is far from over—the threat from within the palace is as real as the one outside it.
Full of unexpected twists and quick-thinking heroes, The Enemy is a fast-paced, white-knuckle tale of survival in the face of unimaginable horror."

Bitterblue by Kristen Cashore

Hey Everyone!! I hope you all have an amazing 4th of July, I know I did! So this past week or so, along with my homework, I have been reading the latest from Kristen Cashore. It's called Bitterblue and of course it is after both Fire and Graceling. Those of you familiar with the series, you know that Cashore did things a little backwards. She wrote Graceling first. Then wrote Fire, but Fire takes place 40 or 50 years before Graceling. And now she has written Bitterblue which is 8 years after Graceling. Confusing, I know. Anyways I am in love with this book so far! 

"Eight years after Graceling, Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck's reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking outside the castle--disguised and alone--to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the thirty-five-year spell of a madman, and the only way to move forward is to revisit the past.
Two thieves, who only steal what has already been stolen, change her life forever. They hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And one of them, with an extreme skill called a Grace that he hasn't yet identified, holds a key to her heart."

Hope you guys all read this series! It's really worth it!

Some Things To Discuss

Hey guys! I haven't posted in a while, and I have a few things to share. I hope everyone is have a fabulous summer so far, I know I am. During the next few days, I will be adding some new things to the site. I should have done some of these things earlier. So here is what I plan on doing this summer concerning this blog and all of you! :

One of the things I will be doing, is my summer reading homework for school. I am currently entering my Senior year and since I am in advanced placement classes (AP English) I have to read a few things this summer and complete assignments. Those of you that have been with me for a while, know that I have had to do this for the past three summers. So of course I will be posting those books to the home page as I get to them. This being said, I will have a little less time to complete some of the things I have planned for this site, but I will try my best to keep you guys posted.

Next, I want to tell you all about a free e-book sharing site my teachers told me about. It is called Tuebl.com . It will come up if you Google it. Basically, you search the books and authors you want to find, and you can download it to your computer. Then you can sync it to anything like iPad, iPod, Nook, Kindle. Anything like that. However, I have found that 1, they sometimes have different book covers, and 2 if you have a nook like me, you have to put the books into your documents folder. It also, for me, may appear in a funky formatting when you open it. But its free, so don't be picky! I have downloaded like 100 books from this site and I love it!

I should have done this a long time ago, like in January. You all know that I am currently challenging myself to read as many books as I can before January 1, 2013 and I challenged all of you to do it too. Well, I am going to make a page and list my progress. I will post the name, author, picture, and I think I may rate it. I'm not sure about that last part yet. But I will put something there to show whether its worth reading or not. I will probably call the page January-January Reading Challenge.

This summer I also plan on furthering the High School Romance plot when I have some down time. I am really sorry for not writing anything sooner but I've been experiencing some writer's block lately. I have some plot points, but my problem was building up to those events. If anyone has any suggestions on how to further the story, or even just some criticism, I would much appreciate it!!!

On top of all those things, I have to complete a bucket-list my best friend and I have been putting together. I also am currently looking for a part time job in the town where I live. So it goes without saying that this summer, I will be extremely busy. I still have to squeeze some time in there somewhere for my friends and family, so they don't think I have totally forgotten them.

I want you all to know that I haven't given up on the Nicholas Sparks read-a-thon. I have just put it on hold for the moment as I'm sure you can all understand. I think I now own them all though so I will be fitting them into my summer reading load. Which by the way, I am currently looking at a large stack, and an even bigger list. I have been tasked to find some new reads for my bookgroup.

This is my last real summer before reality kicks in. I really hope to make the most of it and share it with all of you. I want you to know that I check in on my stats page regularly. I want to thank all of you that log on to this blog every week. I really appreciate it and I wish I could update it more. You all deserve that. Thank you for all the support and messages. They make me smile. I want to acknowledge those of you who visit me here because some of you live in places that I've never even heard of. And that rocks.

All I can do is say how blessed I am and how thankful I am and keep posting for all of you. Please, this is as much your site as mine. So send me a message and let me know what I can improve. Thanks again and have a great summer everyone!!!

-Enjoy!

The numbers also tell me that so many of you are counting on and or are enjoying my posts and I need to do a better job of keeping the Bookworm up to date. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to busy schedules. This summer, I will finish up my Nicholas Sparks reading page and get those to you. I will also finish up the incredibly large stack of books on my desk as well as those in my Nook and get back to you with some new titles. Anyways I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of you out there! Thanks!

Nobody's Princess (Princesses of Myth Series) by Esther Friesner

"She is beautiful, she is a princess, and Aphrodite is her favorite goddess, but something in Helen of Sparta just itches for more out of life. Not one to count on the gods—or her looks—to take care of her, Helen sets out to get what she wants with steely determination and a sassy attitude. That same attitude makes Helen a few enemies—such as the self-proclaimed "son of Zeus" Theseus—but it also intrigues, charms, and amuses those who become her friends, from the famed huntress Atalanta to the young priestess who is the Oracle of Delphi. In Nobody's Princess, author Esther Friesner deftly weaves together history and myth as she takes a new look at the girl who will become Helen of Troy. The resulting story offers up adventure, humor, and a fresh and engaging heroine you cannot help but root for."

The Warrior Heir (Heir Series #1) by Cinda Williams Chima

"Before he knew about the Roses, 16-year-old Jack lived an unremarkable life in the small Ohio town of Trinity. Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high-schoolers. Then one day Jack skips his medicine. Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before. And it feels great—until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts. Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: He is Weirlind; part of an underground society of magical people who live among us. At the head of this magical society sit the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose, whose power is determined by playing The Game—a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. The winning house rules the Weir. As if his bizarre magical heritage isn’t enough, Jack finds out that he’s not just another member of Weirlind—he’s one of the last of the warriors—at a time when both houses are scouting for a player."

Partials by Dan Wells

"The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.
Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic-in-training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws have pushed what's left of humanity to the brink of civil war, and she's not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will find that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there."
