4. (Bill, the vampire, is drinking blood at a bar.) "Bill took the top off the bottle with one finger and took a sip. I tried not to look, failed. Of course he saw my face, and he shook his head. "This is reality, Sookie,' he said. 'I need it to live.' There were red stains between his teeth. 'OF course.' I said, tryin to march the matter-of-fact tone of the bartender." Dead Until Dark pg. 103

So you may be wondering why I always choose from one book, well mostly. Well the reason I do that is because I keep one book with me, maybe two. But I can't remember all the funny lines from the other books so I keep one with me and use that one.

 

Which book to read....

So I started a book and it was moving really slow but it was good! I really liked it....until the fourth or fifth book came out in the series that I absolutely LOVE! And so I started that one...until a girl I know told me about a vampire book that was really good. So I started that one. They were all really good but I don't know which one to read. The one I'm reading right now is called Dead Until Dark, is really good but is like a 8 or 9 book series. The other two are not related at all and are only one book (either left or just plain one book). I don't know which one to start or which one to just read it and then, once I'm done with that one, which do I go to now?!?! So confusing! The story of my life. So I think I'm going to finish the series and then move onto the other ones...we will see how this works because I only have them until I think the beginning of October..and I know I can't read ten or eleven books in less than a month..we will see how this works....lol But I think I can renew them, hopefully none of them are on hold!!!

Favorite lines:

1. "During gym, I get hit in the head with a volley ball and he teacher lets me sit out of class. It's not like I was doing anything other than standing there staring at the net anyway. I prefer to think of it as multi-tasking since I was deep in thought, trying to remember some of my childhood wishes and playing volleyball, even if I wasn't actually hitting the ball with anything but my head." You Wish pg. 83

2. "'Gumballs. And a pony.' I jerk upright. 'Uh-oh.'" You Wish pg. 81

3. "If she abandons me on my birthday, just about anything could be fair game, right?" You Wish pg. 42

4. "I am so mad at Nicole right now. She should have arrived at least two hours ago, but there's no sign of her.

I flip open my phone and send her another text, what must be the twentieth one tonight:

Please tell me Timmy fell down the well and you're busy rescuing him.

Five minutes ago, I sent: Did the birds eat your trail of bread crumbs and now you're lost in the woods?

Ten minutes before that, I sent: If you're late because Shia LeBeouf decided to join you guys for dinner, I expect pictorial proof." You Wish pg. 30



Afterlife

I've been reading this AMAZING series called "Evernight." I loved it....until I got to the end of the third book. I was reading along and I was loving it, confused, but loving it nonetheless. Then..BAM...nope done. It turned around and did the worst thing it could possibly do to it's reader. It took the path that NOBODY wanted. It's cute and nice and sweet and then it turns horrible in one small page. I don't want to give anything away for potential "Evernight" readers so if your planning on reading this skip down until I say "OKAY!!!!" just like that. So the book is good. She ran away with the love of her life and all is well, until she gets her first job. She starts to get sick and she doesn't feel well. Her stomach hurts, she don't feel like eating (blood or regular food) and she is fainting. Well her boyfriend thinks she might be pregnant but she says no no no that's not it. But she knows something is wrong. As it gets closer to her final days, her boyfriend says here, just drink my blood, all of it. She of course doesn't because he then will turn into a vampire and he doesn't want that. So she doesn't and eventually dies. Yes, dies like "goodbye," "sayonara," "adios," "arrivederci," "再见," "afscheid," "revoir," "Lebewohl," "αντίο," "beannacht," "さようなら," "작별 인사," "vale," "sudie," "збогум," "pożegnanie," "adeus," "до свидания," "adjö," "ลา," "güle güle," "tạm biệt," and the ever lovely "hwyl fawr." So take your pick from which language you want. There is 23 different languages and they all mean "goodbye." Going on. She dies and I was SOOOO upset. I refused to finish the book until I finally had to find out what happened. She turns into a "wraith" which is basically a ghost. For awhile her boyfriend and best friend/ex boyfriend can not see her. Which really stinks. Finally she finds out a way to become visible again. She is basically alive again, but only on short time frames and only when she is wearing something that was once alive.

OKAY!!!!
 I still haven't decided if I am going to finish "Afterlife." I want to but I don't want to be disappointed again like I was in "Hourglass" (the third book of the series).Everyone says I should but I don't know. What do you guys think?

How do you deal?

This week I went through a reading block. I firmly believe that if writers can have writing block, then readers can have reader block. For those of you who have not experienced the amazing (sarcastic) thing of readers block, to me it is when every book you pick up, your not interested in. I started to read a book called "Red Riding Hood" at the beginning of this week. I ended up twenty some pages into it and lost interest. Then I started "Afterlife" and I lost interest in it, but that's for a whole other post! Then I started the first book of the Morganville Vampires books. Got about ten pages in, saw something shiny and could not start it back up again.
I liked the sound of all these books. They all had something to do with romance, most were a mysterious kind of book, and all were supernatural. But once I started them, it was like something better came along and I could not handle finishing the book.
"Red Riding Hood" on the back says, "The blacksmith would marry her. The wood cutter would run away with her. The werewolf would turn her into one of its own." Yeah, amazing right?! To me the writing seemed a little...old? I know. I know. Mr. Hill always says "Push through the boredom! It'll get better." But I kept thinking "Wow! When will the boredom end?! Will I ever get 'hooked'? Or will I just read and read and read and eventually just be done with the book and not remember a thing?" So I eventually moved onto a new book (yeah, surprising, huh?!) and this one is actually pretty good!! It's called "You Wish." It's about this girl who has a sweet sixteenth birthday party and wishes "I wish my birthday wishes actually came true. Because they never freakin' do." Well to her utter surprise, they start coming true. To throw a twist in there, she has been in love with Ben for three years now and hasn't told anyone about her love for him. Three months ago her best friend started dating him. On her fifteenth birthday she wished "I wish  Ben would kiss me." She has to stop the wishes before it's to late and her fifteenth wish comes true. It's good so far. I'll keep you posted (pun intended!!!) :)
