Super Short Summary - NO Spoilers
Just finished this book and I really want to write how I feel about it

In this book she has to choose Aspen or Maxon. Maxon's father (the king) is a pain in ass too. This book is about her and Maxon rebelling. GO READ THE FREAKING BOOK if you haven't already because is 100% approved by me, hahaha does that even make sense?

Anyway...


My Review 
New favourite book series, I'm sorry but bye bye The Hunger Games, never really liked you anyway. I'm sorry for all you Peniss/ Galeness shippers guess we can't be friends. ( I'm sorry, I'm wayyyy past my bedtime)

When I first started reading it I thought it was going to be boring (I started about 2 weeks ago???), but then it turns out all the interesting bits were the middle to the end. Anyway I can't describe how much I love this book.

I'm so EXCITED to read The Heir, I got it in Ebook form so reading it tonight, finishing it tommorow before my cousin can spoil it for me.

- a very tired and possibly crazy mimi

Summary - (old summary from my old blog)
This book is literally AMAZING! I like Mr Green's books because his books shows us the real world... Anyway, this book is about a boy who goes to boarding school and end up meeting this super hot girl named Alaska. It's a great book if you don't mind swear words, detailed description on kissing etc etc. So the 'hero'  (whose name is Pudge which is what his friends calls him, his real name is Miles... you get the point) he has feelings for Alaska. Okay you're probably wondering what is Alaska's personality, probably not but I'm gonna tell you anyways. Alaska is a really energize slash bubbly kind of person, but inside she blames herself for something that happened to her mother. I love this book so much so I recommend this book and you guys better read it.

SPOILER ALERT
(Warning Do NOT read this if you don't want to know what happens at the end I REPEAT Do Not read this)

Soo the book is about Pudge moving on from Alaska's death, yes , Alaska dies. Alaska got into a car accident while driving to her mum's grave. (I'll continue the spoiler later, thx for reading this). - Mimi

My Rating
5.1/5





Summary - May Contain SPOILERS
I cried (a lot) in this book, I felt the pain the main characters felt and it was just....

This book is about two teenagers who have difficult lives. Echo, who used to be popular, now has cuts all over her arms. She was everyone's topic to gossip about. Some rumors said that she tried to kill herself but no one really knows what happens, not even Echo (not going to spoil it for you because I want you to read it). Noah is the kind of boy that swears a LOT, tattoos, smoking. He's your typical bad boy. Bad boy or not he wants his family back but he can't.


They eventually meet and fall in love with each other. Echo and Noah both crave for something they know they can't have - normal. 


This book is UGH just perrrrrfect.

My Review
This book was just eh.

It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I don't know, hmm. I didn't really like the plot and the relationship they had wasn't really sweet or romantic, maybe a little sweet. What IS romantic about a popular guy kissing you secretly in a storage room. And the main character was so depressed and such a freaking pessimist is sad just reading about her, maybe that's the point, that's what the author was going for but I didn't really like it.

What do you guys think, if you have read this book.?

Title 
Percy Jackson and the Sea Of Monsters

Author
Rick Riordan

Book Format
Hardcover, School Library

My Rating
4.7/5






Summary - May Contain SPOILERS
I love this book better than the first book because it's more full of surprises especially at the end. Oh my god I love the ending so much arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

So in this book Camp Half-Blood is in danger because SOMEONE (Luke) poisoned the tree which is Thalia who became a tree because her dad, Zeus pitied her, whatever THAT means. So the Thalia tree always keep monsters out of Camp Half-Blood, it's kind of like a border. But now that it's poisoned it can't keep the monsters out. And Half-Bloods attract lots of monsters. Also Grover is in trouble. Percy of course want to go on the quest to save Grover and find the Golden Fleece which can save the camp. But the new camp director who is this guy name Tanturus (they fired Chiron because Mr. D thought he poisoned the tree) don't like Percy very much so he gave the new quest to Clarisse. But Percy, Annabeth AND Tyson (who is Percy's half brother and a Cyclops) went anyway.



Okay, go read the book nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

My Review
I thought this book was really sweet but there was nothing special about it really. It's just the typical good girl, bad boy kind of thing. I'm not saying I could write better, it's just that there's nothing really WOW in this book if that made sense.

Comment if you want a summary - mimi

I got the Ebook of the second book in my Overdrive, so I'll write a review on that sometime soon

Book Genre
Romance (I'm really reading a lot of romance this year hmm)



Psst. I might be doing a giveaway at the end of this year. Stay tuned.

Summary - May Contain SPOILERS (My Review)
Cara is an ordinary human, she exceeds in academic stuff. Lets just say she's smart, and because of that ahe was chosen to be the host for the first ever Leihr exchange. Aelyx (a-licks) is a Leihr and is Cara's exchange student for a year. He hates human because we are the DUMBEST living thing. But of course both of them are going to fall for each other.

Aelyx found out that the waters in Earth are soo messed up (polluted) (no surprise there), that the only way to save planet Earth is... no way. They can save the planet. But humans can join forces with the Leihr and you know save something. (go read the book lazyass)

So does Aelyx want the human race to be gone but that means no Cara. - mimi

My Rating
4/5







Summary - May Contain SPOILERS
Percy Jackson has been living a lie!!!

He is a demigod which are half human and half god. Weird things have been happening ever since he was a... well baby? I think? His mum is a mortal which is us human and his father is a god. I'm not telling you who it is though, he is more stronger than most demigods because his father is one of the 'Big Three' (which is Zeus, Poseidon and Hades). In this book Zeus lightning bolt was stolen and everyone thinks it's him (well not everyone but most), that his father made him steal the bolt. So he has to find the lightning bolt before the summer solstice (or was it winter?hmm) because that's when Zeus and his father (who didn't have anything to do with the bolt) are gonna start World War iii.

Give me credit, that was a pretty good summary.

(everything can improve, should)





Summary - May Contain SPOILERS
(I suck at summarizing, so I'm sorry)

This book was set in the future (it took me a while to figure THAT out, I'm a bit slow). Apparently USA got attacked by China and was ruled by China at a certain point. And they don't know what Halloween was??!!!!

Anyway lets get to the important/main parts of the book...

So in this...era(?), they haves castes which are like a groups. There are 8 castes all together, 1 is the richest and 8 is the poorest. America Singer, our main character WAS a five...until... she got selected to compete in The Selection. The Selection is basically like The Bachelor, there are 33 other girls competing to win the prince's heart, whose name is Maxon. But she has a boyfriend named Aspen (who encouraged her to sign up for The Selection btw) who thought he couldn't support her because he was a 6. So back to America, she didn't EXPECT to fall for Maxon because he looks like a total pain in the ass, but of course she does. Maxon or Aspen? At the end she just don't know who she wants.

Suitable Audience
Want something romantic?
A teenager?

4.5/5







Summary - May Contain SPOILERS (My Review)
Maxon or Aspen? She has to choose and quick. The Elite is the last 6 girls of the competition. Maxon is totally into her but she has to decide whether she wants to BE with him. In this book Maxon seems like a total dick (but he isn't at the end). This book is like very very suspenseful and is highly recommended.


Sorry for the short reviews and sucky summaries. My tests are coming up soon so I have to study until my brain explodes. Review on The One (The Selection 3) will be out soon, when I start it. Which is whenever. - mimi
