Random Picture for Fun!

Today I am very bored so for a laugh and entertainment this is going to be a photo post. Very random photo's really, but hey, they are sorta fun.

This was from when my friends and I got bored at her house. That resulted in blowing up a Marshmallow.

(Note: Do NOT follow our example)

Taylor Swift from the Fearless tour on March 27th, 2011.

From my photography class (I just think this looks sorta cool but you might not).

Also from photography.

These next one's are results of boredom during class, from art class, and from my free time.

This was drawn just the other day from boredom. It took approx. 30 min.

This is from science class when I saw someone's copy of Catching Fire. :D

I was thinking of the hunger games when I made this. . . I thought it was cliff but now I'm not so sure.

Art Class. . . somehow I have managed to be "Advanced" in it. . . I CAN NOT watercolor.

It was raining outside. And I have NO idea what we were learning right then.

Another one from art class. This was just a sketch on dimensions and the Cat and Mouse were from boredom.

Hope you enjoyed these!

About My Reviews

   Hey There!

   As you have noticed my reviews may seem a little... odd, weird, and/or poorly written, but that is because that I would rather do a review that is completely honest and written straight from my head onto the computer. If I didn't do this my honest immediate reaction to reading a book would be... void. I can't think of any other word that would fit since my reviews would be a little bit of lies if they were edited over and over and over. I do make things as presentable as possible within my self allotted time for my post editing (1 hour). If one of my reviews sounds bad even to me, be assured, I will edit it.
   So another thing I want to say in this post is, is that I know I don't post very frequently but I am hoping to change that soon... that is, as soon as I learn to organize myself better (Yeah I am definitely not the most at all organized). I don't know how school work even manages to survive my floor... or that's right it doesn't. HAHA! So my next post is in like the next hour hope that's soon enough.   :D

Sorry for the Silence

Really, I am so very sorry for not having posted very much (at all) recently. I've half made a few posts then stopped for one reason or another. I'm writing... attempting to write a review for Remembrance by Michelle Madow and it's going agonizingly slowly. Also I am setting up to right a review for ________, the ARC I read last week. Now I am going to list all of my excuses... Here I go:

-I have been very busy with school work.

-I've been buying up books a lot

-I have been entering tons of contests for books (and won 1)

-There have been tons of books I've had/ wanted to read

-I am tired, sick, and unfocused a procrastinator

All of these things are true of course but the last one is the only true reason. Sigh. So there are 3 reviews coming up SOON. I SWEAR!!!! Two of them will be up this month and the third at the end of January/ early February.

Writing Tips

  Okay... I AM SOOOOO SORRY!!! I know I sorta stopped real quickly with my countdown for Clockwork Prince but I do have this big report I have to write so it's sorta taken up a lot of my time just researching. Anywho (wow, I say that a lot), onto the good stuff.
   I was reading a blog of an author I really love when it dawned upon me how often she speaks formally in her writing, especially in her books (no names being said). So I decided to make this post, which will be modified in the future with extra things, about lots of the tips I have gained from reading author blogs, from my family, and from my teachers and friends. So here we go...

WRITING TIPS:

- Always write in the way you would speak or the way that it would please you to here that character speak.

  Ex: I ran across the parking lot, trying to catch up to my friends. "Hey!" I shouted, "Wait up!" Elizabeth, my best friend, turned and grinned at me than motioned for the others to increase their pace. "Come on guys, what is what's up? You've been playing "run away from Annie" for two days now..."

- Think like your the characters in the book. How would they react to certain things?

   Ex: n/a

- How do you want the writing to come across? Do you want it romantic, mysterious, heart wrenching, happy, depressing, sad... what?

   Ex: Harry Potter 1- "Happyish"

         The Hunger Games- "Haunting/ Sad/ Ominous"

         May Bird- "Creepy/ Haunting"

         Breathe- "Happy/ Cute/ Romantic"

- MEGA IMPORTANT!!! Don't be afraid to write what you want. Express yourself through your writing style. (For me it's that the characters are usually opposite with each other with practically no in between)

   Ex: I sat there watching as Linsey ran through the field behind the new house, laughing her head off the entire time. I hated interrupting her fun but I had to. "It's time to come in midget," I called to her.

 "Awww," she complained. She held up her fingers close together but not touching, "Just a little more time sissy?" she pleaded. Since it seemed to be my job to stay in the background and just keep her happy I nodded my head and turned to head inside.

   This is really all I can think of right now. I know it's not much but I hope it helps you write a little better. There are more to come in future posts (probably) but let this be help you along as little or as much as it can.

SORRY!

   Hey there people. I'm sorry I haven't kept up with my CP countdown but I'll post one later today with a few teasers in it to make up. Yesterday I got the book I have been waiting for when I checked the mail box yesterday at 10 p.m.. The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan! I started it at around 11 p.m. and stayed up till 6 a.m. this morning finishing it... matter of fact, I only woke up about two hours ago. So... before I can post a review of SoN I must first review the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series. So I know that it's not YA fiction but they're still great books.

   Listed below are the books I am willing to review since they are on my shelf (the first in series or just lone books):
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
- City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
- Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
- Firelight by Sophie Jordan
- Matched by Ally Condie
- Halo by Alexandra Adornetto
- Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
- Kissed by an Angel 1-3 by Elizabeth Chandler
- Eragon by Christopher Paolini
- The Host by Stephenie Meyer
- Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
- The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

Not on my (library) shelf but able to review:
- Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

Read Well,

I'm Making A Facebook Page!

Hey All!
   So I have been considering doing this for a about a week but, well, haven't. The think is, is that I don't know if I want to put it under Books or Writer... what do you think? And speaking of writing, after looking back at some past beginnings of writings I realized I should at least try and see if I can expand on them, make them larger, make them better. I know my writing isn't the best as shown by the post I put up before but, hey, it's the attempt that counts, right?
   If you want me to post another snippet from a "draft" just say so in the comments but what I really want you to do is comment on which I should put by Facebook page under Books, Writer, or (hey why not) teens/kids.

Brittany B.

Snow, Snow, Comes my way!

So at 5pm today it looked like this... 

                                    

By about 10 pm tonight it turned like this...

Since I live in a valley in Colorado this isn't something you would regularly see... especially in early November. My camera really sucks at night but I thought you would love to see this. Anywho... I need rest so night.

Review: Breathe by Abbi Glines

Breathe by Abbi Glines

Pages: 219
Format: eBook

   Sadie White's summer job isn't going to be on the beach life-guarding or working at rental booths like most kids her age. With her single mother's increasing pregnancy and refusal to work, Sadie has to take over her mother's job as a domestic servant for one of the wealthy summer families on a nearby island.

   When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie hadn't spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house she might have been normal enough to be excited about working for a rock star.   Even though Sadie isn't impressed by Jax's fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax but he fights his attraction. Relationship's never work in his world and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. By the end of the summer, Jax discovers he can't breathe without Sadie.

Summary for Abbi Glines blog

   So this was my favorite book in 2 months for about 2 weeks I think. And that is saying something because I usually read 3-5 books a week and they don't stay my favorite in their period of time for very long. Even now parts of it are stuck in my head. I think their stuck with super glue actually.
   From the beginning I was trapped in these pixilated pages. Abbi Glines style of writing seems... unique to me. Though the writing was very formal (which sorta tried to kill my love for this book but came nowhere near succeeding) I loved Abbi's choice in words for almost everything. There definitely were some cheesy parts in this but I am a total cheesy moment fanatic so it was not as much of a bother to me as it might be to som- most people. The songs that were included were great, if still including a little cheesiness. 
   As Sadie starts working at the huge mansion on private island... well it sorta says what's going to happen in itself. 

Girl + Hot Famous and/or Rich Guy = Lovely, Cheesy Romance

That's pretty much it when it comes to her intro into the book. The rest is pretty predictable but that does not mean I don't love it. I mean, it's rare you get to read a book like this, in a good way, very often because they are just... usually not published. From what I here the print edition has some of the "cheesier parts" taken out and/or changed so I am definitely looking forward to that.

   So back to the review of this edition/format. As Sadie's love story unravels, you get experience the dream romance every girl has at least once in her life. Everything in Breathe is written how quite a few, more stubborn, girls might think. I say stubborn because that is the only word that can describe how Sadie is to me... that or humble I guess. 

   Have you read Breathe? What's your take on this quirky little story? Maybe little is not the word for it to some people but it fits for me. Tell me in the comments... or not. You know, do what you please. :P

New books!

   Hey there! I just got some new books in the mail yesterday. I did this fall book exchange thing through Teens Read and Write blog (also hosted by two other blogs).  So, anywho, the person who sent me books sent me three (3) books... all of which I have read but am going to reread and maybe review. 


  So one book I got is Matched by Ally Condie (shown on the right). Love this book and I will definitely review this one. 


   The next book I got was Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. Love the whole Vampire Academy Series so I might, just might, review it.  (shown on the left).


   Finaly, the third book I got was Halo by Alexandra Adornetto. I love books about Angels so when I first found this book I was like, "OMG! I am sooooo going to read this!" Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration of when I found it but, hey, close enough.  (shown on the right). 


  To finish off this post I will also mention that I won two books from Mundie Moms blog. Waterfall and Cascade by Lisa Bergren will be in my possession very soon. Hurrah!

Review: The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter
Pages: 293
Format: Paperback


It's always been just Kate and her mom—and her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall.

Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld—and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.

Kate is sure he's crazy—until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess.

Summary from Goodreads


   The Goddess Test. I have totally been wanting to read this for, like, two months. It sounded like it would be amazing, and you know what? It totally was! 
   Kate's six month journey took me three days (not my personal best by far) to follow and enjoy. Though to me some things were a little predictable Aimee Carter knew exactly how to keep me and all the other readers on the edge of our seats. Or in my case bed. Knowing that this has the Greek gods in it was what made some things a little predictable but, hey, even I was slightly... okay, very confused at the end. Not for bad reasons it's just when Kate was being told about how she did on the test, I got a little confuddled. Now onto the official review.
   Very well written, The Goddess Test is the best book I have read in the past two weeks (which is more books than one might think). Though some things are a little predictable to me, to most people this book will keep you guessing. There is not one thing I would ever suggest changing in The Goddess Test.  Everything in this book screamed "DONT STOP READING!!!" love, love, love it.

Review: The Host by Stephenie Meyer

The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Pages: 619
Format: Paperback


Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love.

Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the essence of what it means to be human. 

Summary from Barnes&Noble

   Wow. All I can say is wow. I had first picked up this book because I loved the Twilight Saga so, after reading those 4 times each, I wanted something new by Stephenie Meyer. Long behold this book came up in my google search.
   With some determination this was the longest book I had finished in a two day period. Yes, two days. The book starts off from one of the invading "parasite's" (aka aliens) point of view. It seems like a wierd way to start the book but it was great because it showed, however little, how the "souls" think. After that the book switched to Wanderer's point of view after she was placed into Melanie Strider's body. Melanie has to fight to stay alive with the Wanderer sharing her mind too and having complete control over Melanie's body. When they set off to find Melanie's little brother and her boyfriend off in the Arizona desert. That is really where the book picks up ('bout 4 chapter's into the book I think) and where their hardships really begin too. 
   I really loved how The Host was written. This book is nothing like twilight for many reasons.


1) There was no love triangle, because technically it was two  people sharing one body liking to separate guys (is that's confusing, well, I don't really know how to explain it better). Okay, maybe a slight love triangle. :P
2) The main character, or was it characters, I guess, is strong physically and mentally. And
3) this book takes place in sunny, hot Arizona whereas Twilight is in rainy Forks, Washington.


It was really refreshing.
   I am not a person who likes books that can be classified as Science Fiction. Actually, I hate Science Fiction, and will only read it if it's really, really good and my family (e.g. my brother, who also doesn't prefer it) says that that book is a great read. Also, I'll read it if it's can barely be classified as Sci-Fi as was the case with this book. This review really can't be doing The Host any justice but, hey, this is the best I can give it. 
   Very well written and beautifully told I would recommend this book to even the most stubborn Sci-Fi reader or someone who hates the Twilight Saga even.

Review: Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton

Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton
Pages: 464
Format: Hard Cover

First there are nightmares.

Every night Ellie is haunted by terrifying dreams of monstrous creatures that are hunting her, killing her.

Then come the memories.

When Ellie meets Will, she feels on the verge of remembering something just beyond her grasp. His attention is intense and romantic, and Ellie feels like her soul has known him for centuries. On her seventeenth birthday, on a dark street at midnight, Will awakens Ellie's power, and she knows that she can fight the creatures that stalk her in the grim darkness. Only Will holds the key to Ellie's memories, whole lifetimes of them, and when she looks at him, she can no longer pretend anything was just a dream.

Now she must hunt.

Ellie has power that no one can match, and her role is to hunt and kill the reapers that prey on human souls. But in order to survive the dangerous and ancient battle of the angels and the Fallen, she must also hunt for the secrets of her past lives and truths that may be too frightening to remember.

Summary from Barnes&Noble

   When I first saw Angelfire I didn't actually pick it up because the title had screamed at me. No,I picked it up because I saw an awesome sword but, hey, after I read the summary I realized that I had gotten a great read. The first page had me entranced. I mean, the first page was really nothing special but to me, being able to get into the teenage mind with such ease is an accomplishment that kept me going.
   Angelfire may start off a little slow... oh wait, she spots Will right after she leaves school in the 1st chapter. After that the story really begins with Ellie learning from Will (after giving up on avoiding him) that she is the Preliator, destined to destroy the Reapers who kill humans and send their souls to Hell. As Ellie comes to accept this, Courty Allison Moulton writes out the rest Angelfire amazingly making a beautifully written first book in the Angelfire Trilogy. Amazing!

Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent by Veronica Roth
Pages: 487
Format: Hard Cover


In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
Summary From barnesandnoble.com


     When I first heard about this book I was immediately intrigued. After reading the first 100 pages online I went to buy it and was hooked after I begun to officially read it. After six hours I finished Divergent (which it was approximately three am when I finished).
     In Divergent 16 year old Beatrice "Tris" Prior lives in a futuristic Chicago where the city is divided into 5 factions, Abnegation (the selfless), Candor (the honest), Erudite (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Dauntless (the brave). When Tris leaves her family for the faction of the Dauntless she is thrust into a world where bravery has been twisted from something helpful and good, into something harsh and brutal. During initiation Tris learns that there is more at stake than people learning that she is a Divergent. Erudite is secretly planning war on Abnegation and are planning than use the Dauntless to do it.
     With Dystopian books becoming a growing trend among teens, like me, Divergent is an amazing example of the theme. I love this book and, though it was written a little formally, it was very well written. In the first chapter the book starts off a little slow but picks up quite quickly and has a strong and well written story line. On the edge of "seat" from the time Tris enters the Dauntless faction to the very and of the book and I loved every second of it. With the romance between Tris and Four (and the obvious lack of a love triangle, which I love) not being the main part of the book it made the action seem a whole lot better. This is definitely a must read for young adults and fans of The Hunger Games.
