Unsure of what to name this O.o
Just finished reading LAST SACRIFICE (again!)! Such a good book. I love the ending, I love the story, I love the characters (especially Dimitri!), and I absolutely love the crazy antics Rose always gets herself, and her loyal friends, into.This is the last book in the vampire academy series, which was a stand out to begin with. Filled with drama, lots of passion, and an amazing story line. I had trouble putting it down! I'm probably gonna end up reading Hush, Hush again soon. I love that book! Keep yourselves posted!!!

Starcrossed
Alright, well I recently just finished the book STARCROSSED. Soon to have a sequel called DREAMLESS. I have to admit that when I first started reading it I wasn't expecting much. What with the first few pages being a little on the dry side. But after I got into, it became my new distraction. Having to be told to put a book down during class, now that's a real show of book worm rebellion. It's always amazing to me how you can pick up a random book, loathsomely begin to read it, and three chapters in its all of the sudden "the best book ever". You know that as soon as you say it, the next book you pick up you're going to say the exact same thing. Ahh, getting side tracked ha-ha. Okay back to STARCROSSED. Yes, the first bit is hard to get through, and the length of the book is certainly daunting (It's only 600 some pages, not a lot for some people, but if you are a slow reader it might be a bit of a challenge). I'm 100% willing to state that you will love this book. I do! Lucus, lets be honest here, is one of the best male characters. Certainly better than Edward. The story line is fresh and it keeps you on your toes. Major twists in this book. I'm not gonna give anything away though. Shocking and emotional, lots of action, fighting, greek mythology, and a strange but amazing love story. All in all, a well put together and charming story.

Update
Well now that I've successfully passed my class, I have free range. I'm almost done with my current book so in a few days I'll have new material to work with. Which means, yes, yet another riveting post! Keep checking in, I'll have it up with in the next few days. EXCITING! XD

#3 Several other interesting things.
A book is an escape from the world. It lets you focus on someone else’s life while yours continues in whatever way it does. Whether you have issues with life or you are one of those “I’m really happy to be here” people, a book is still the best way (besides going on vacation [possibly for free]) to escape from the bland day to day life. It lets you imagine things you never would have thought of. It makes you think differently. Builds your creativity. Books are like the universe. Full of endless possibilities and always changing. The fathom-ability of a story is only limited to how you explain it. Truth could become truth in an instant. And the nonfactual can become factual. Just write it and it becomes part of the bigger picture. How do you think fairy tales and myths got started? I remember reading a quote somewhere, "Write the book you always wanted to read." or "Write the book you could never find on a shelf." Something like that. Anyway, it's the reason why there are books. The best part about them is that, even though according to Christopher Booker there can only be 7 plots, they are all different stories. They all tell a different story. It’s important to learn about those stories! You learn from other peoples mistakes (now I sound like a historian professor, lovely). You have a lot of stress? Read a book. =)
What I think about the book "I Am Number Four" and how I think the movie should have been made.
Of course they already made this into a movie, (I haven't seen it yet) but this is my idea of how the movie should have been made. Ok, so obviously they would need a good budget, which can be hard for books to the big screen. Special effects wouldn’t be a real problem, casting would be just like any other movie (unless they cast like they did for twilight), and the 1st person thought process can be fixed with voice over. But the most difficult thing would be making the story sound serious. Aliens are a vastly unexplored topic, very constricted to the certain stereotypical characteristics. They have been engrained in our minds since we started watching bad sic-fi movies and learning about area 51. If I were the one who made this into a movie, the three scenes I KNOW I would need to keep would most likely be the First part where they are moving to Ohio, the part where John beats the crap out of Mark, and the scene where Henri dies. (Sorry for spoiling) The scenes I would cut would most likely include the part where John runs with Bernie, some of the telekinesis part, and the meatball scene. Even though it is really funny.
