The Iron Thorn

Hey! I've been a fast reader lately! I just finished The Iron Thorn by Catilin Kittredge and I really liked it! I'm currently reading Catching Fire now, review coming soon!

In the city of Lovecraft, virus is around. And it's deadly too. Anyone who catches the virus, from any of the magical creatures in the city of Lovecraft, goes mad. And anyone who's mad can only end up in the many of mad houses. Proctors rule the town and anyone who doesn't obey their rules can only be faced with doom. For Aoife Grayson this disease is especially important. Why? Aoife's entire family has gone mad as soon as they turn 16, and Aoife has a birthday coming up. Aoife's mother is already mad and so is her brother, Conrad. But when Conrad sends Aoife a letter telling her to save herself, Aoife is hoping that Conrad hasn't completely lost his mind. Read this captivating story about Aoife and how far she will go before she turns 16.
I honestly love love this book! Ah! I really like any book that has a special government that controls people, and this book had it! I liked Aoife a lot, she was really outgoing and always stood up for what she believed in. But my favorite character was Dean, :), a guy that Aoife and her friend Cal meet. I really love any guy who's nice in any book, but Dean was amazing :). Despite the longness of this book, I wasn't really ever bored. The problem and conflict was addressed before I was bored and pretty early into the book, which I loved. I also liked the sort of fantasy-ish edge to the book, with the nightjar creatures that lurked the city of Lovecraft and stuff. Even the cover of this book is amazing! Haha, anyways, this book has it all, the adventure, the drama, the romance. You've gotta read it!

The Hunger Games

Aha! I finally finished a book! Aren't you guys so proud of me?? Yeah, you are. Anyways, I finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and loved it! So here's the review.

Katniss Everdeen has lived her whole life in fear of being picked for The Hunger Games. A place where you battle it out to the death with other fighters from other districts. Katniss has her name in the drawing plenty of times, more than enough to have a chance of getting chosen, but her sister, Prim, only has one, so Katniss isn't worried. It isn't until non other than her own sister Prim is chosen for the games that Katniss decides to take her place. Winning means fame and fortune, but losing means death. Katniss knows she has to win this for her sister, her friend Gale, and her mother. But can she survive the deadly Hunger Games? Read this amazing book by Suzanne Collins to find out.
I wasn't really expecting to love this book, but guess what?? I loved it! The beginning was a little slow for me but other than that, I loved it!!!! I love how courageous Katniss was and how when she set her mind to something she would follow it out. I really love books about strict goverments like Delirium and Uglies, and this book is just as good as those books! Except for Delirium, nothing tops Delirium.
Haha, anyways. I also loved how this book wasn't predictable, you never knew what was going to happen. Was Katniss going to survive? Did she have to kill anyone? Would she have to kill someone she liked? All sorts of surprises. Overall, this book is AMAZING!

What's Going On...

As you can see, I have pretty much been a lazy head on reading books because I haven't done a review since last week! I'm currently reading The Hunger Games, review coming soon I promise! Then I have to read The Iron Thorn, and then I have to read The Voice On The Radio. So I promised reviews coming soon! And DARN IT! I keep forgetting to do Follow Friday!!! I guess it's just cause I'm really busy, but anyways, guess who's birthday it is on Tuesday??? Not mine actually, but... JUSTIN BIEBER'S!!! WOOHOO! EVERYONE should go on Twitter on Tuesday and wish him a happy birthday! Lol, well, have a good afternoon and go read some good books!!!

I Am Number Four

I have FINALLY finished a book after like, two weeks. So here goes my review! I'm so glad I finally got to finish this book! This book is also a movie now, and it's by Pittacus Lore.

There were nine of them at first. But they were hunted. Hunted by the Mogadorians. They traveled from the planet Lorien and came to Earth after the Mogadorians destroyed everything they had. They can only be killed in order. He is Number Four.
John has gone by many names during his life span. Every time danger is near, he moves somewhere else with a new identity. This time he is John Smith in the town of Paradise, Ohio. He has no parents, he lives with ihs protector, Henri. At first, it's easy to stay hidden. But then things start to change. The jock at the high school makes John use his alien strength on him, and it risks the existence of his kind. Then there's Sarah Hart, the girl he is in love with. But how can he keep such a secret from her? And then of course there's Sam, the alien geek, who comes very close to actually knowing that John is an alien. Once Number Three is killed, John is next. The Mogadorian's are near and he can feel it. But what can he do? He can't leave Paradise and start over again. Read this thrilling Sci-fi book to find out if John survives life while he is constantly being hunted.
I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of science fiction. But this book was really good! Like, crazy good! I thought it was a bit boring in the beginning, but once all the action starts and everything gets risky, you can't set the book down. I was literally hanging onto my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. Even though I don't like books that have boys as their main character, this was a really neat read! I really liked it! John was such a lovable character, he was so real. You immediately knew who he was and what he liked in the book, he wasn't just a character, he was a person. A real person. I liked the connection he had with Sarah, and what he had with his protector, or Cepan, Henri was really touching. The action in this book was unbelievably easy to understand, I wasn't lost. I was never like, "Hey, what's going on?". I understood everything. Overall, this book is AMAZING! You guys HAVE to read it before you see the movie!

Uncommon Criminals

I am so excited for this book right now!!! AH! It's Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter and it's the sequel to Heist Society. This book isn't due until June 21st but hey, I can wait! Thanks to my friend Katie from Katie's Amazing Book Reviews for providing me with the cover and the summary, so enjoy the cover release of this book and make sure you guys visit Katie's blog!
Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life. Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she's simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That's why Kat isn't surprised when she's asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners.
There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn't been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat's world, history always repeats itself. But it's the third problem that makes Kat's crew the most nervous and that is simply... the emerald is cursed.
Kat may be way over her head, but she's not going down without a fight. After all she has her best friend- the gorgeous Hale- and the rest of her crew with her as they chase the Cleopatra around the globe, dodging curses, realizing that the same tricks and cons her family has used for centuries are useless this time
Which means, this time, Katarina Bishop is making up her own rules.

Whatever Happened to Janie

So I'm really pumped right now, because we have our second school party today! Yay! Haha, but before that, I gotta do a review. This book is by Caroline B. Cooney and its pretty much an oldie. Published in 1993! But, it is the sequel to The Face on the Milk Carton, so I decided to read it.

Janie Johnson found her face on the back of a milk carton, she's a missing child. She finds out that the family she's been living with all her life isn't actually her biological family. But how could she ever love anyone else but her current parents? They're loving and fun and caring. But when Janie makes a call to her real parents stating that she's alive, they insist on her going home. So Janie leaves her whole entire life behind, even her name. It turns out her real name is Jennie Spring. But how can she be a Spring and a Johnson at the same time? How can she love these strangers who she's supposed to call mom and dad? How can she forget the life that she left behind? If Janie likes the Springs, the Johnson's will be jealous, if Janie likes the Johnson's then that would mean hurting her biological parents. Whatever will Janie do?
I have to admit, I was kind of hoping for more in this book. The first one, The Face on the Milk Carton, was wayyy better, but this was still ok. I know that Janie would feel like a complete stranger in the Spring house, but she wasn't even trying to be nice. She refused to call them mom and dad, she didn't hug them, and she said I love you to the Johnson's purposely in front of them. I was like, "Can't you even try? They thought you were dead for 13 years!" But I guess I'd have to put myself in her position to really understand her situation. I was hoping there would be a little bit more of Reeve, Janie's boyfriend from back she was a Johnson, but he was only in it a little. But overall, this book had a very interesting plot and could grasp your attention to finish the book all the way through. If you're a fan of The Face on the Milk Carton or Caroline B. Cooney, then you gotta read this book.
