This is a post im doing becuase I don't have any books to review and because i have alot of animals! These two dogs are Sirus Black and Baethoven. Bae is the basset hound bodied black and white one. He's an Australlian Sheperd Basset Hound mix. Sirus is a black lab mix with something but the rescue didn't know. He's energetic and wild.

The Kindle


Ok I know this isnt a book review but it's related with books....i think. The kindle is an electronic devise you can read books from and buy them without have to go to the store or anything i guess. My dad and I really want one. (I'd use it wayyy more than he would I'm sure. Dad if your seeing this sorry but its the truth!) Anyway its as big as maybe the book Breaking Dawn not that thick just in length. The books still cost money but they are cheaper. So check out the kindle on amazon, ebay, wherever. The price range is about 279-$450. The Kindle is pretty cool!

Marked by Kristen and P.C Cast


This is another vampire book but not at all like The Twilight Saga By Stephanie Meyers. Marked is based on a 16 year old girl named Zoey Redbird. She becomes marked from a tracker and has to go to the House of Night. Her mom and step-loser dont want her to go though, so she sneaks to her grandmothers to head the HoN. There she meets people who hate her,like her, and love her. She has no idea whats coming for her...
This is an awesome book that I'v read numerous times. Though it does have alot of language in it sadly thats the only part i hate the most about the book but its still an awesome series. I'd give it a 4 1/2 rating. I'm not sure what the age limit is soo you can see for yourself what you think. Happy Reading!!!!

Twilight by Stephanie Meyers


Into Vampires? Into books about vampires? Then this book is for you. Its in a teenager name Bella Swan's point of view when she moves to Forks, Washington to move in with her fathe, The chief of police. Things seem normal until she goes to school and meets the Cullens. The Cullens are diffrent and she sees that but just doesn't know what. Then she meets one the the Cullens, Edward, and learns that he's a vampire. For most of the chapters it goes through what thye do until the coven of vampires James, Lauraunt, and Victoria come and see Bella is a human they began a chase. Now the Cullens have to protect Bella from James. This book I'd give about 4 stars. It's a very good book but sometimes it drags along through some chapters but its still a good read. I'd say anyone 13+ who likes this kind of book should read it.

Happy Reading,

The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins


The Hunger Games is about 16 year old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to be in the Hunger Games instead of her sister Prim. The hunger games happen every year and have one boy and one girl from each district in a place that used to be North America. There are 12 districts. Katniss is in district 12. Out of all the games only 1 person has survived and won the hunger games in district 12 is Haymitch. Every kid from 12-18 is in danger of being picked in the reaping and has to fight to the death with the whole thing televised every single person in each district forced to watch. Katniss though has faced certain death before and escaped....
I give this book 5 stars. Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer and i can't wait for the 3rd book for the series to come out. Anyone 4th grade + will in my opinion enjoy this book. Happy Reading!

The Boy In Striped Pajama's by John Boyne


This book is set during WW11. Nine-year old Bruno and his family are moving from their home in Berlin so his father can help out where needed to. His father is a Nazi high general but,he doesn't know what his father does but he knows it is very important and he musn't ask questions. They move to a house near the concentration camp Aushwitz (sorry if i spelled it wrong). He meets Shmuel, a boy in the camp. Bruno is determined to play with his new friend at the other side of the gate. This is an amazing book and movie. I'd give it about a 4 1/2 star rating. This book really shows you that a nine year old during WW11 in Europe really didn't know what was happening to the Jewish people becuase even though he lived right next to one for months he still didn't understand why the people were there. I hope you look for this book the next time you go to the library or bookstore. Even if this book is in a nine year old's point of view this is NOT for anyone under age 10 or 11. (It is a good book to read if you are studying the holocaust. Just saying).

Happy Reading,

The Lovely Bones By Alice Sebold


"My name is Salmon, like the fish. First name, Susie. I was 14 years old..when i was murdered." That's a couple of lines from the book The Lovely Bones. It's based on Susie Salmon getting used to her life in heaven and choosing either to let her family heal or getting revenge on her murderer. Her father starts looking for her killer with the police but with no sucess of finding her body or any trace of something she had besides some biology notes and her hat her mother made her. Over time people began to give up but her father never did. This is a fantastic book and i would give it 5 stars. I would recommend it to anyone in 7th grade+. If you have in fact read this book then i would suggest The Almost Moon also by Alice Sebold.
Happy Reading!
