Summer Reading...

So, currently I am reading How to Read Literature Like a Professor and it is quite boring. I hate reading things for school because most times, they are boring. Isn't that normal? SCHOOLS! PLEASE FIND SOME STUFF THAT ISN'T BORING. Most times, it takes me about 6 hours to finish a good sized book. I have been trying to read How to Read Literature Like a Professor for the past...... 4 weeks? I keep falling asleep. I literally fall asleep while reading this book..... Anyway, anyone have opinions on the Olympics??

Last Breath by Rachel Caine

summary:
With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town-a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville's latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn't merely human. But is he a vampire-or something else entirely? (courtesy of Goodreads.com)

One thing I have to say about this book is that it is COMPLETELY AMAZING. This book is i believe the tenth or eleventh book in the Morganville Vampire series. I love this series so much. It is one of my favorite series. To begin with, there is almost NOTHING i hated about this book. It is completely interesting and captured my attention the whole time i was reading it. I even gave up homework so i could finish it (and with me being Asian and an absolute nerd, that like never happens)

First, i love Rachel Caine's writing style. She combines the words in a really interesting way that just keeps me reading. Plus, i like the fact that this book switches from the point of view of different character. Normally, i absolutely hate that in a book but Rachel Caine pulls it off nicely.

Second, I absolutely adore the characters! I especially love Claire and Myrin (i sorta hoped they would be together. It would be nice if there did). None of the characters had a useless role in the plot. All the characters worked together. I especially love Myrin because of his craziness and how he really does care for Claire. I love Claire because she doesn't just sit around waiting for the men to go and save her. She saves herself, and others *cough* basically the whole town of Morganville *cough* all the time. People actually rely on her.

Third, I loved the plot. The actions, the things that happened, everything just fit together so perfectly. I especially love the part when _______ ____ and then ______ tried to ______ but it didn't work. Then Michael ___________ to find ______ and almost didn't ______ but he did only to be ______ by ____. Poor ______. But Myrin _____ and did some impossible things. IT WAS JUST SO AMAZING!!!! I'm not giving anything away because i want you all to actually read the whole series. I LOVE IT. SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!!

Passion by Lauren Kate

I absolutely loved this book. It gave all the background story to Luce's and Daniel's love. It also gave an interesting plot twister. I liked all the realizations that Luce had about daniel. This book was very much formatted as a quest. Through every life that Luce went through, she learned a little more. At the end, she had a way to stop the curse, but she chose love over that. I also liked Daniel's part. I only expected him to be chasing her, but no. He had his own quest to complete. It just sort of happened to be at the same places that Luce was. In the end, their paths met once again. Love prevails.

I feel so freaking bad

With school (I HAVE 3 AP classes, which include spanish.....), so it's super hard to get any reading done. I haven't done any reading since the beginning of the school year, heck, since summer because of summer homework. I TOOK ON TOO MUCH OF A WORK LOAD. I would be reading now, but i have a job now too. This is all going to suck, but at least i get money right?

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

To start out, i honestly think that this book is the BEST in the series. It was just breathtaking. Sometimes the author actually had me holding my breath and reading quickly just to find out what happened. This book provided a lot of ties to loose ends (right phrase?) I was really sad to read the last book in the series. It did take me a really long time to get a hold of it. I was not disappointed at all! The ending... oh my, THE ENDING WAS SO SURPRISING! It was so sad to sort of watch (in my mind) Lissa and Rose grow apart, together, and just grow up. This is one of my favorite series.

Angelfire by Courtney Allison moulton

So i've been gone for a really long time..... I have Been reading a lot of books but I feel that they are not fit for a review.... ( yea total lie, I've be lazy! Can't blame me, it's summer!!!) well I posted a review of the book mentioned in the title on goodreads. Com. I felt that I had to because the people on that site did not like the book and didn't finish reading it. I wanted to give my input on it because I did not feel that it was bad at all (excuse my mistakes, I'm typing on my iPod which is not the best for typing long things......

So I would give this book a 3.5 stars out of five. Personally I did not like the ending of the book. This was mentioned on goodreads but I did not elaborate. First, the ending of the book was really bland. It did not have any sort of suspence at all, not like torment by Laurent Kate. It was just her fighting another reaper saying that she is the prelaitor. I know that there will be another book( via goodreads) and the ending gave no reference to that. I wanted an endi g that would be memorable so that I can have somewhat of an idea of what happened when I read the next book. The ending knocked off .75 stars from the book's score. The other .75 knocked off was due to the fight scenes. They seemed really repetative. It was like Ellie was doing somehing, reaper showed up, will gets hurt a little, Ellie gets hurt, Ellie unleashes her power, beast dies or runs away to fight her later. That was most of the fight scenes right here. There wasn't a lot of variation.

One thing I liked was Will. His character made things enjoyable. The forbidden romance between Will and Ellie added something to the book plot. I loved will's character and how his relationship with Ellie changed throughout the book. That was one thing I wanted to read more of. I wanted to know more about his and ellie's previous lives. It sounds sort of like the same as other books with reincarnations and I love a good angel like character. The beginning of the book was also quite enjoyable. I was a little iffy about ellie's and her father's relationship but I felt that added some background to Ellie. I was sort of expecting so an explanation to how her father changed. I expected her father to really be a reaper in disguise as her father, but that was a big no.....finding that out could have added an interesting element to the story. ( could have also made Ellie more passionate to kill reapers if one of them killed her father) maybe that will be in the next book.... Those are my thoughts on this book.

read book...... THEY'RE GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! (I hope that is right..... :p)

Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

Well.... i can honestly say that this book.... was not what i expected... I don't despise it... i guess i'm leaning towards hate than like. It.... wow... Silas should have ended up with Lett, in my opinion. Rosie.... Rosie doesn't deserve the love. I honestly am not on her side. I am absolutely on Lett's side. That was the thing that bothered me the most, Silas giving up on Lett only to love Rosie.

Throughout the whole book, i didn't like Rosie. I don't know why, i just didn't like her character. She annoyed me a lot. The only time i actually did like her was when she was feeling guilty about Silas. She was just... annoying. I didn't really want to read her parts, even though I did. She just wasn't an enjoyable character for me. Neither was Silas.....

Also, the plot.... let's just say it wasn't my cup of tea. Overall I found the book boring in comparison to other books that I have read. I don't know what was actually wrong with it... i just didn't like the plot that much. Overall the book would be a 2 out of a 5 point scale. Lost one point because of the plot. Lost one point because of Silas, and lost one point because of Rosie. The two points given were because of Scarlett and what she had to go through because of these two love birds. I wouldn't have forgiven my sister if she stole my boyfriend (and to me, that's what she basically did. Silas loved Lett first. Even if she loves the hunt more than him, she could have learned to love him but she wasn't given that chance).
