Eclipse – Stephenie Meyer

Posted by Laura on May 27, 2008

Eclipse the third book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series has been nominated for the Teens Top Ten list. Twilight made the list in 2006 and New Moon in 2007. I expect that Eclipse will make the 2008 list.

I read the first one and haven’t gotten around to reading the next two. I bet that some of you are just screaming “How can’t she have read the other two yet?” Well, they are always out and people have holds on them, and I would rather you guys read them then me. How about that for an answer?

So, if you read it and you loved it, you should vote for it in October. If you haven’t read it, I hear that you must and you should just place a hold and wait a bit.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Posted by Laura on March 13, 2008

I just heard that the film version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released in two parts.  The first half will be released in November of 2010, and the final half in May 2011.

I wonder where the plot break will be…

Any thoughts?

Author Tamora Pierce – Song of the Lioness ; Daughter of the Lioness

Posted by Laura on November 2, 2007

I’d like to say that Tamora Pierce is an awesome writer! All of her books are very good. Alanna the Lioness is very good example. It’s set in a world, not earth. The book is about how Alanna wants to become a knight but of course girls don’t become knights! So she must disguise herself as a boy. It’s so intriguing to see how she deals with things like strength, women hood, and boys that must not find out the truth. There are four books in the series.
Alanna, In the hand of the goddess, The woman who rides like a man, and Lioness rampant

Tamora also wrote the Trickster’s Choice and the Trickster’s Queen. (they’re together) It’s set in the same world as Alanna the Lioness, but the time is set some years after Alanna’s story. This is how Aly wants to become a spy, like her father, and her adventure to become a spy even though it is against her mothers and fathers better judgment.

A Great and Terrible Beauty; Rebel Angels; Sweet Far Thing – Libba Bray

Posted by Laura on November 2, 2007

Hey me again! GOSH so many books! Ok one more series. This series is probably my favorite series ever except for the Twilight series but someone already wrote about that. Libba Bray another fantastic author Wrote two books so far and is coming out with her third to complete the trilogy. The first is called A Great and Terrible Beauty, the second is called Rebel Angels and the third, that comes out December 26, 2007, the day after Christmas! Is called The Sweet Far Thing. So the setting is somewhere near London, during the Victorian age with big pretty dresses and Huge hats. It’s about four friends who break the rules at Spence Academy for young ladies. Its very good since it’s nicely written and they’re so many things that happen since Gemma, the main Character, can enter a secret Realm, which the book describe as the passing before death filled with magic. Not to mention Gemma’s relationship with a certain gypsy boy… Well if this books sounds interesting i’d look it up for a way better description.
