50 books...and a teaser:D

HEYYYYY!!! i've read 50 books so far this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, i've read ALL the books in the Percy Jackson series:D
What can i say? i love Percy and Annabeth ;)

Soooo, the main things i've read lately:



I LOVED all of these books. Chains and Forge is historical fiction about an African girl and boy who are slaves. Its really cool how, even though they were treated badly, they just kept pushing through.

The Maze Runner series is Dystopian. At first i wasnt sure if i was going to enjoy it...but in the end...i loved it. It was suspenseful, confusing (in a good way), and an emotional roller coaster (you can decided yourself if thats a good thing...)

The Son of Neptune is...fantasy? anyway, it was just...wow. I loooooooove Percy, and the new characters Hazel, Frank, and Reyna.  I ALSO like how there are 2 camps...ROMAN and GREEK!!
 (Camp Jupiter and camp Half-blood)

WHAT IM WAITING FOR:



CANT WAIT to read this!!! Its the final book in the Artemis Fowl series. I'm gonna miss the series ;(



Now, for a little teaser. I shall tell you the names of  my characters wrom my new WIP. Sorry for not telling you the titles yet, but i switch around between a few....so bare with me.

Victoria Stryker (the story is told from her point of view..)
Luke Stryker (Victoria's twin brother)
Gabe Reed (he teases Victoria alot.)
Isaac Thorn (a nice guy who becomes her friend)
Damon (Their head instructor)
Sydney (an assistant)
Mariah (another instructor)
Rose (a kind grl who befriends Victoria)
Alice (a deaf girl who also befriends Victoria)
Lilac (a flirty girl who doesnt work hard)

THATS ALL FOR NOWWW!!! :D see you soon~
TA TA;)

My book reading update!

HEY guys :D How are you peeps?
I'm doing good, busy writing, making a book cover for Madison Louise, and filming a video. fun fun fun. Anyway, i wanted to update you with the 4 books i've read this week. (seriously, i finished 4 books in two days.)

Okay, first up is: MAZE RUNNER by James Dashner
Let me tell you: at first i wasnt sure if i would like it...BUT in the end it turned out pretty well:D
One thing i didnt like was this word: shuck. No clue what it means, but it annoyed me. Kinda a sub for a cuss word or something. Other than that, i enjoyed it!

Okay, book # 2: Percy Jackson  THE LIGHTNING THEIF by Rick Riordan


I know, i'm a little late reading this series..but IT WAS SOO GOOD :)
Two things that made me want to read it: 1. I went to camp this year, and this one girl talked none stop about it.
2. Everyone said how the movie was SOOOO messed up.

And they were right. The movie is wayyyy messed up, i think. I mean, isnt Percy like 12?!?
Anywho, i loved loved loved it. yes, i love Annabeth (and Percy..duh!) and why cant their be such a thing as Camp Half-Blood? :D

Book # 3: As you might of guessed: Percy Jackson SEA OF MONSTERS

Loved this book too. !!! And Grover tricking the cyclops into thinking he was a girl?!?! Genius! And, Tyson...he rocked. I think its cute how much he LOVES Percy :) I hope they dont mess up this movie too..... hmph.



and Last but NOT least! Book # 4: Percy Jackson THE TITANS CURSE:


Yay! I wish i brought the next book in the series from the library...but i didnt think i'd read them so quickly. Yet again, i loved this. And i loved the Zoe!!! *SPOILER SPOILER* Why did she have to die!?!? Nooooooooo~



Alright. Thats all for now! I go back to the Library Wednesday...sooo...i'll read the rest of Percy jackson soon (but not soon enough)

gah, i love too many people from books!
Like,
Katniss (hunger games), Peeta (hg), Gale (hg), Finnick (hg),Tris (Divergent), Tobias (Divergent), Percy (Percy Jackson), Annabeth (percy jackson), Artemis (Artemis Fowl series) and soooo many more:D

K, BYE GUYS! Talk soon~

Shadow Future Blog Tour {Stop # 5} Interview with Adskhan!

Hey EVERYONE!!!! remember when i mentioned that i would be in a blog tour? Well, Here is the review!!!!

Christian Beliefs: none, that i can remember.

Other Beliefs: well..unless you call Overshadowers and Undimmed a “belief” :)

Language: It was clean! It did say they swore but none of the words were mentioned (they also said ‘freaking’ but i'm not saying that a bad word...)

Violence: Well, there is one scene that gets sorta violent. There is a car ‘explosion’ and Arnold isn't wearing a seatbelt (Uh oh!) A gun is used (but no one is hurt by it.). Pearl uses the shadows against the Undimmed and people get knocked out.

Romance: Zeke and Josh say that Pearl saw a ‘cute boy’ on her first day of school. It mentions that Pearl had a [few?] boyfriends during the school year. Kissing. (SPOILER)Getting Fastened [married]. Going to prom and Pearl and Mr. someone dancing together. :)

Comments:
Shadow Future was a fascinating tale of a brave girl, Pearl Underwood. When she went through tough times, i could really feel for her. All she wants is to taste some freedom, and its not exactly what she thought it would be. The story may be a short read compared to other novels, but it it jammed full with action, mystery, romance, and thrilling powers. in the beginning, the story immediately drew me in and intrigued me. I loved how all the characters were portrayed, and all their personalities were unique! All my expectations were blown away and the twists throughout the story kept me on my toes! I cant wait for the next book and see more of Pearl, Max, Adskhan, Arnold, Zeke, and Josh ...and a few others!

And for those who havent read it, check it out on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13628641-shadow-future

On top of that, we have a VERY special guest visiting us! Adskhan!!

Me: Hello Adskhan, how are you today?
Adskhan: I’m alright, thank you for having me Hope. I’m very surprised on what you human girls get to do. It’s very different than what Pearl gets to do at home.

Yes, our lives are a little different than Pearls. By the way, I was wondering, does your name have a special meaning?
Not that I know of. My father was very original with my name. But it does sound like this, AD-SKAN, if you were wondering.

Great! Can you describe your life as an Overshadower?
How many words do I get? Well, it’s rather enjoyable, until someone misbehaves, that is.

hmm..What do you think of Pearl?
She’s a very trying girl. I think she likes to try my patience out, and she regrets it afterwards. But if she listens, and does what she’s told, she’s very enjoyable to be around.

Do you have any friends or are you more of a loner?
Loner? I’m Leader, and a Leader doesn’t have any time to have ‘friends’. I just do my job, and that’s telling everyone what else to do. Mostly Pearl.

So, how do you like being Leader?
You’re not supposed to enjoy being a Leader, but if i have to answer that, i do enjoy it.

Now i have a more serious question: Does the idea of getting Fastened make you nervous?
A man shouldn't be nervous,he’s in charge of course. But i guess i am a little. But i think when we get past the awkward stage, everything will be fine.

Thank you so much Adskan! Im afraid thats all the time we have for today. :( I cant wait to hear more and talk to you again. Have a good day, hopefully Pearl will stay out of trouble.
You are welcome. Bye!



Awesome!! Hope you guys will read it or enjoyed reading it! Madison is a good friend of mine and i really enjoyed doing this!
Now for the fun part, A GIVEAWAY!!! You ready?
