Cathy's Key

As you clearly remember from my Cathy's Book review I am Cathy-obsessed. I loved Cathy's Book and I felt no different with this book. I LOVED it just as much!

In the beginning Cathy goes to a fortune named Auntie Joe, Cathy found out about Auntie Joe online and later in the book we find out that it's no coincidence. Meanwhile Victor is still working for Lo and has just come across a serum that could turn Cathy immortal so she can live with him forever, only problem is that he doesn't know exactly where it is and he can't exactly be with Cathy.
Cathy develops new crushes, new frenemies and destroys enemies. Cathy just has such a fantastic life full of near death experiences and romance with her friends, mainly Emma. Don't you wish you were her, I sure do!
In this story we are introduced to new characters such as Ben, and Jewel and Dennis as well as some interesting information on the world of immortals and mysterious characters.

Cathy's Key gets 10 out of 10 for its sheer awesome-ness!



*Insider information tells me that the next book in Cathy's series will be named Cathy's Ring. I think she gets married (to Victor) what do you think happens?

Eclispe by Stephenie Meyer

MY apologies, people. I haven't been on for more than a month and that's just unexcusable. I'm truly sorry. You totally have the right to hate me! Moving on to the review.

OK, so Bella has to choose between Edward and Jacob and she's having a VERY, ridicuolously hard time. To top things of someone's after her, again and nobody knows. Edward says it's The Volturi, Bella says it's Victoria. Who's it?

Poor Edward his reason for living is being hunted, again. But that's not all Bella wants something that Edward's reluctunt to give her, but he always gives in, will he give in now? He's beig rather stern! He says you can't have it 'till you marry me, but will his will power fade to Bella's wim. It always does. So what's going to happen this time?

READ TO FIND OUT! My lips are shut! I know short, but I REALLY don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I know most of you have, there still are those few who haven't. I'm doing the same with the Breaking Dawn review. Which is coming later this week. HAHA! Overall this gets 1,000 cold, hard, 5 carat diamond hearts out of the 1,000.

You want to know why it didn't stay that way? Well then I'll lay it out for you. Meri Sugarman isn't as sweet as her name might portray.

What are Cindy and her friends to do? When faced with a task as impossible as hazing Meri Sugarman. Will Cindy and her friends succeed or is Meri too powerful to overthrow? Read and you will surely find out.

This was a very well written novel, the first by Michael Apostolina and a grandly memorable novel to that. I loved the way Michael portrayed college life in the eyes of Cindy. The alcohol, the sex, the drugs, the people, everything. It was a great story that left me speechless and wanting more at the last page. This book deserves 1,000 out of 1,000 pure bright stars. It taught me that individuality is key. The key to the closed door...

On a different note, Happy Fourth of July! Remember only four more days 'till my birthday so get your presents ready. He-he...

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer!

Okay, first, I apologize. I've got so much on me that I couldn't update. Don't worry I didn't break a Bookworm Law. I read. I didn't finish much. But I'm such an amazing Twilight fan, that I finished reading New Moon in 4 days, and it was amazing!

We join Bella in her normal life with her absolutely to die for, soulmate Edward. Things are going fine until Bella's 18th birthday. Her birthday started out fine. She's having some fun,but not much on account of her being older than Edward,technically as Alice pointed out.

Then Bella gets a paper cut and everything went downhill as Jasper lurched himself toward Bella's blood and Edward protected her from the ravenous vampire. After that accident Edward distanced himself from Bella. Bella knew what was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Things stayed the same between them and Bella grew weary of this fact. Then BAM, Edward dumped her. It was a sad momment and it stayed with Bella for as long as she was apart from Edward. She was a "zombie". She wouldn't talk, play, have fun, nothing. Nothing meant ANYTHING to her. Nothing without Edward. She had a hole in her chest. A growing hole.

To distract herself from her pain,she decided to get dangerous. With her best friend, Jacob by her side and sometimes without him. Resulting in frequent trips to the E.R. I bet she had her own room. A home away from home, so to speak.

Then things go haywire when she learns that Jacob is a werewolf. The whole comes back even wider and more full of intense, malevolent pain. Jacob can't be around her for awhile. Just like a newborn vampire can't be close to a human.

She also learns that Victoria James's mate is trying to avenge him by killing Bella because Edward killed James. Things get a little good. Then some dramatic stuff happens. Bella meets the Volturi. Bella finds out that Edward still loves her and he tries to save him from killing himself because he thinks Bella's dead.

Life gets back to normal except for Jacob who loves Bella and can't stand to watch Bella being with his mortal enemy he becomes real depressed and stuff. When you get to the end you will be begging for more, begging!

I think Twilight was better because Edward was in it more,but that doesn't mean it's not still AMAZING! When Jacob became a huge part of Bella's life I fell in love with him. When Edward came back I totally forgot about him. When he betrayed Bella for his own selfish benefit I hated him. When I thought it over I still loved Edward, but I felt sorry for Jacob. How sad it is for the one you love not to love you back. It must drive him suicidal. It probably would have made me suicidal! Nonetheless, I'm still loving Edward and I want to share my favorite quote from New Moon with you. Here I go...

"They have a name for someone who smells the way Bella does to me. They call her my singer because her blood sings for me."

That one makes me jiggle like jello every time I think about it. "My blood sings for you too, Edward. You just can't hear it'', I always think.

I've got to get over that fictional character! The book gets 1,000 out of a possible 1,000 full beating hearts! You better read it! I'll read Eclipse next. School ended today so I have time.

Knots in My Yo-Yo String!

Okay, so my teacher read it to as. It was the autobiography of Jerry Spinelli and it was simply riveting. His life is more interesting than I thought (This might only be because my teacher read it to me)! It talks about his girlfriends, the sports he played,the Hokey Pokey man, and much more. My favorite chapter was the one named "When I became king" . It really sketches a picture in my mind of the splendor he had as prom king with his lovely girlfriend, Julie at his side and all the intellectual glory he snagged as valedictorian. Jerry Spinelli's childhood was amazing and so were his teens even though he eventually lost all his teenhood glory. He did later recover that glory in his adult life by publishing his first book Milkweed. Jerry's books always inhabit many of his life expieriences and that makes his literature a joy to read because you know there's something real in there and that it's not all fake. Jerry always I give it an 8 out of 10. I recommend you read it or have your teacher read it to you. Ha-Ha!

Last Chapter of Story!

It took a while,but I had writer's block.I also made another book which I'll make another blog for!
Here we go...

On the day of the contest Jada dressed in a lovely brown dress and some black flats and so did her friends. When it was their turn they got up and sang her song. Everybody loved it and the camp leaders were all persuaded into letting the girls read their Bibles at camp. They were all thrilled and celebrated by having a little party with a Jesus theme.
Jada and her friends never got tired of camp when it was time to go they got each other's cellphone numbers and always stayed touch. 'Till this day all of the girls remember the song by heart.

GOD bless you all. Bye-Bye!
