Wolves, Boys...

Wolves, Boys, and Other Things that Might Kill Me. Sounds like a girl book, but here's the truth: It is. As I was reading the book I started out strong but got distracted by a school assignment and I have yet to finish it. However it seems like a good read and girls who like a good realistic fiction that they may or may not be able to relate to, you might want to check it out. Here's the back:

"It's K.J.'s junior year in the small town of West End, Montana, and whether she likes it or not, things are different this year. Over the summer, she turned from the blah daughter of a hunting and fishing guide into a noticeably cuter version of the outdoor loner. Normally, K.J. wouldn't care less, but then she meets Virgil, whose mom is studying the controversial wolf packs in nearby Yellowstone Park. And from the moment Virgil casts a glance at her from under his shaggy blond hair, K.J. is uncharacteristically smitten. Soon, both K.J. and Virgil are spending a lot of their time watching the wolves (and each other), and K.J. begins to see herself and her town in a whole new light."

Well-Witched

Would you freak out if you got weird eyes that grew on your knuckles? How about if you said everything people were thinking? Or maybe if you had electrical powers? That's what the three kids in Well-Witched by Frances Hardinge went through. This is another slightly spooky tale. But no ghosts this time. Just remember everyone, don't take coins from the well witch. Here's the back:


"Ryan and his friends don't think twice about stealing some money from a wishing well. After all, who's really going to miss a few tarnished coins?
The well witch does.
And she demands payback: Now Ryan, Josh, and Chelle must serve her . . . and the wishes that lie rotting at the bottom of her well. Each takes on powers they didn't ask for and don't want. Ryan grows strange bumps--are they "eyes"?--between his knuckles; Chelle starts speaking the secrets of strangers, no matter how awful and bloody; and Josh can suddenly--inexplicably--grant even the darkest of wishes, the kind of wishes that should 'never' come true."

Ghost Story

It's Deep. And Dark. And Dangerous. The book Deep and Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn is a dark, scary book. Don't worry, you won't get nightmares, but boy is it creepy! However I did enjoy this read and the suspense it creates is spectacular. Check out the back:

"Just before summer begins, 13-year-old Ali finds an odd photograph in the attic. She knows the two children in it are her mother, Claire, and her aunt Dulcie. But who's the third person, the one who's been torn out of the picture?
Ali figures she'll find out while she's vacationing in Maine with Dulcie and her four-year-old daughter, Emma, in the house where Ali's mother's family used to spend summers. All hopes for relaxation are quashed shortly after their arrival, though, when the girls meet Sissy, a kid who's mean and spiteful and a bad influence on Emma.
Strangest of all, Sissy keeps talking about a girl named Teresa who drowned under mysterious circumstances back when Claire and Dulcie were kids, and whose body was never found. At first Ali thinks Sissy's just trying to scare her with a ghost story, but soon she discovers the real reason why Sissy is so angry."

The Lightning Thief

Who's read the Percy Jackson series, by Rick Riordan? They're amazing books. Not only are they action-packed and exciting, but they are hilarious. These books will make you crack up so hard. Check out the Percy Jackson books, guys! Here's the back of the book:

"Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he’s angered a few of them. Zeus’s master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus’s stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves."

The Boy Who Lived

So I'm assuming that the majority of you, if you have not read it, have at least heard of the books Harry Potter. These books are some of my favorites and if you have not read them yet I encourage you to do so! I am rereading the series for the fifth time and it is still just as wonderful. Please try Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.

A Sister's Promise

Hey bloggers! I just recently read a book called "A Sister's Promise" by Karen Lenfestey. Here's the back of the book:
Kate Hopper can list a million reasons why she doesn’t have kids. No, more like reasons why she shouldn’t have kids: genetics, a dysfunctional family, and ultimately, the fear that she wasn’t cut out to be June Cleaver or Carol Brady or Claire Huxtable. TV moms always made it look so easy, but Kate knows better.

When Kate’s little sister, Joely, refuses a medical treatment because it will leave her infertile, Kate is willing to say anything to save her sister’s life—even promising to have a baby. Kate decides to keep her rash words a secret from her husband until she can figure out whether she really wants to be a mother. Especially since they agreed their marriage would remain childless.

A sister’s promise and a wife’s promise: Kate must break one. Should she risk everything she has for the unknown?
I encourage all my viewers to read "A Sister's Promise"!
