Hey Guys! Yesterday I went and saw Breaking Dawn Part 1 with my best friend and I have to say over all, I liked it. They did a descent job. However there were a few things that I didn't like, along with some things that I thought were so good!
Bad:
-I felt like the movie was on fast forward. One minute they are getting married, then they are on a plane home. . I feel like they skipped a lot, like:
-The dream Bella has about the baby. They changed it to an insecure dream about Edward.
She has never been insecure about Edward and her being together. maybe about whether or not she deserved him, but never if they were meant to be. at least I don't think so.
-I didn't like how they made Edward angry with Bella about her being pregnant.
He was always supportive and never left her side. I did NOT like how they portrayed him. Also,
He yelled at her! Not cool!!-I didn't like how they skipped the first part of the book. Like the flashbacks and the car. Or the meadow, or her seeing the dress for the first time.
-I'm
not really sure how I feel about Jacob's imprinting scene. I like how he explained what was happening, but I don't know, maybe they could have showed it better? I don't really know how they would, but it was ok.
Good:
-there were a lot of funny parts. I
loved, loved, loved, loved the wedding,
but I wish it were longer! I also loved the toasting. That was soooo funny! and I loved how Alice was yelling at everyone while they were setting up.
-I thought Bella's wedding dress, and shoes, and make up and hair, all of that was
perfect! That's how I pictured her.
-I loved seeing Stephenie Meyer in the wedding. If I was her, I would want to see the most important and special part of my story coming to life. I would be like she was writing it all over again. I'm sure she pictured herself there while she sat at home in a world of her creation. And if she ever reads this, I want to say
thank you to her. she has
inspired thousands of people
including me, and made a story we all love!
-I loved the
music. I'm listening to the soundtrack as I type this and it makes me feel. . .I don't know, but the music is perfect with the movie and just as a collection of music.
Summit did a great job!-I liked how they showed the venom spreading through Bella. That was really creative and I think helped people who had never read the books realize what was happening.
-I think the
actors did a way better job in this movie. Its about time!
-I loved how they made Bella look when she was pregnant. I loved that scene where Rose is helping her in the bathroom and you see Edward just broken looking at her broken body. The look on his face and on Bella's face...it was a great scene. My heart hurt for both of them.
-finally,
I loved loved the scene where Edward hears the baby for the first time. !! So sweet!Right now that's really all I can think of. I really did like it! If I was to critical, I'm not trying to be. I can't wait till the last part and I'm going to be sad when it's over. I can't wait to see what Stephenie is going to do after this. Hopefully we can expect something new from her. If you haven't seen it yet, GO SEE IT! Leave your comments below!
-Enjoy!

2. The City of Lost Souls 5/8/2012 (Cassandra Clare Mortal Instruments
This looks really cute. I don't normally like books like this, but it looks like an easy read.
This looks like it could be Hunger Games meets Divergent material. I'm not sure because I haven't read it yet. . .but I'm leaning that way.
Looks like another Vampire and werewolfy book but it still looks good to me!
This looks fantastic!
As promised here is one of the suggestions I currently found while searching the B&N Teen fantasy pages:)
Hey guys! Happy New Year! I went to see the New Year's Eve movie yesterday and I saw a preview that really interested me. The Nicholas Sparks Novel "The Lucky One" Is going to come to theaters this spring! Staring Zac Effron and Taylor Schilling. I am going to read this book as soon as possible and I can't wait to see the movie. The trailer looks amazing!
My genre lately has been these really strange dystopians. Here's another one that looks really interesting.
The Second book to the Across the Universe series will be released on January 10, 2012.
Hey Divergent fans! Veronica Roth has said that the second book 'Insurgent' will be released on May 1, 2012!!!
ATTENTION CITY FANS! Those of you that read Cassandra Clare's spin off, well the latest book just hit the shelf! The Clockwork Prince is the second book and I started reading it this morning.
Listen up Dystopian readers! I found this book a while ago but I've been so busy I haven't had time to post about it. It is currently on my Christmas list:)
(I don't know how many of these are legit. . .but I googled 'breaking dawn movie posters' and this is what came up. . .)
Hey everyone! Yesterday I finished that Nightshade book by Andrea Cremer. It was number 11 on the list. I didn't realize when I started it that it was a series. . . so beware that this book does leave off with a cliff hanger. The good news is that the first two books are out. The conclusion is to hit shelves in January. The second book is called Wolfsbane.
decision between her pack, and her destined future with Ren, and a life of freedom with Shay, a human she should have never met, so saved. This book is pretty relaxed. There are some intense parts but its a pretty easy read. I would recommend it. The last book is set to c
ome out in January. 
Hey readers! Just last night I finished the book Divergent by Veronica Roth. I have to say those of you that love the Hunger Games, you will LOVE this book. I cannot believe how amazing this is. This book is about a future America. Instead of districts, like the hunger games, the people are split into Factions. They are split based on their personality. When a child is 16, they take a test which tells them which Faction they would fit best with. But when a young girl fits into none, She has to lie to protect herself from those who would kill her. She meets a young man roughly 2 years older than herself. She learns many things she never knew about herself, her family, her new friends, and people in general. This is on of my favorite books. I know all of you will enjoy it. Look for the second book in May. Its called Insurgent.
So these last few weeks, I kind of decided to skip a few of the books on my list because I couldn't get my hands on a copy, and I read those books that I already had or I could get my hands on. The first one that I read is called The Help by Katherine Stockett. And I have to say. . .W O W. It is one of the most amazing books I have yet to read. The relationships she describes between the white community and their black help is unique and well written. The everyday things that the black community had to deal with were written in such detail and grace. It really shows you what it was like to live during that time frame. The persecution they faced was unreal, and you get a sense of their fear while you read the words on these pages. The personalities of her characters were so loveable I thought I was being told the story personally. The people, the places, the events seem to jump off the page and unfold deep within your mind. And I don't just say that because Ms. Stockett's amazing story has recently hit the big screen. It is an incredible story of life, love, fear, racial prejudices, hardships, happiness, and bonds stronger than a million steal cables. I cannot stress enough that you read this novel. I promise that the words comming out of the characters mouths, such as Aibileen and Minny, will make you feel like you are apart of the story. Their dialect is spot on and it just completes the plot line further. I cannot praise Katherine Stockett enough for her work. I loved every second she allowed me to enter the world of her creation.
icholas Sparks. I haven't finished it yet, but many of my book loving friends told me I had to read it and it was one of their favorite Sparks novels. And so far I have to agree with them. This novel is about a women who has run away from her abusive husband. She winds up living in a small city that is so off the map, she would never be found by her detective husband. She meets Alex, and small store owner and a father of two young kids. The character's pasts will touch you in ways you can't imagine. You really feel for them and their pains. I am about half way through and the drama is only starting to begin. I love how Sparks set the foundation for this novel, with the plot and the relationships within. As I read through the chapters I can feel the tension rising and the ending is sure to be chin-dropping. It is truly amazing thus far.
Ok so the third and fourth books on my list were for my honors English class in school. I had to read them this summer and do all kinds of papers on them. If you like historical fiction these are two pretty good reads. I do like historical fiction, so I enjoyed them very much. But I have to say, that I liked the Crucible by Arthur Miller a lot more.
mix of drama, love, action, and mystery. When a new faerie enters the picture, everyone has questions. It leaves of with a complete cliff hanger, and I can't wait for the next one to hit shelves.
