And, a little poetry.

Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes
By Thomas Dekker (1572-1632/England)

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise,
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby, 
Rock them, rock them, lullaby, 
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you, 
You are care, and care must keep you,
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, 
And I will sing a lullaby, 
Rock them, rock them, lullaby

Ok, I know this is not a book review (but I have a new one below), but I love poems so much, and I wanted to share this one with you guys. What aare your favorite poems?

Matched and Crossed by Ally Condie

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

I truly love these books. I swear, I'll have to read a book I won't like so you guys won't think I like everything with words on it. Well, anyays...

Matched: I've actually read this book 2 or 3 times. I really like it, and it's my favorite out of two (it's eventually going to be a trilogy, EEP!) Anyone who likes Hunger Games will like this book. It's kind of the same idea of a tyrannical, ,controlling goverment. Just the idea of it, it definetly gets you thinking. The details are really amazing, and it flows like it's poetry, (and might I say I love poetry, or anything that sounds remotly like it.) It's not a "Lets go punch people in the face!" kind of book, but it defienetly has subtle drama, and some not-so-subtle drama.  I really enjoy this book, and things just keep popping around the corners during it.
five star

Crossed: OK, I'll say it, this one doesn't have as much subtle drama. This one is much punchy than the last.It really starts right back off at the jaw dropping ending of the last one. I must say that this one just confused me emotionally, I couldn't decide how to feel about the people.  It's not confusing, but it confuses you. Once I was done, and walked all the way upstairs, I realized I missed something and ran back up there tearing the book open, which is a good sign for the quality of the book, less for the quality of my brain. Can't wait for the next one

The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzzane Collins

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival


Holy Heck! I loved the whole entire series. I just recently read them, and figured I should let you know of the awe inspiring-ness of it all.
Hunger Games: I loved this book. I actually pushed off reading it for a year, and I really regret it. I love Katniss, her strenght and courage amaze me, and I wish that I was 1/10 as brave as she is. As for Peeta, where do I begin? He's just a well thought out amazing character. The other characters are so detailed that I feel hatred, sorrow, and love for each character in this book.The love scences weren't overpowering, but defiently prominent. When the book ended, I thought "How is she going to keep going with this series, How is it going to be better than this book?"

Catching Fire: How Suzzane Collins pulled this off, I don't knowIt's one of those rare sequels that adds onto the first book in detail. This is probably my favorite book in the series because my favorite character makes his apperance (hint hint Finnick) It's one of those books you think is is over and then BAM! something drastically changes. The characters are amazing and they evolve so much throught the series. I love hoe things from each book all tie to something else. They'll mention something seemingly miniscule in the 1st book, and that will be the basis for the whole ending of the 3rd. Perfectly sculpted novel.

Mockingjay: I hate comparing books to other books, but for those Harry Potter fans, this book is similar to the 7th book. This book is so sad (this whole series made me cry at least once per book) but fufilling. You're sad because there is death, and because the series is ending, but I loved the last installment in the Hunger Games Trilogy. The inner thoughts of Katniss ao much more amplified and darker than any other book. The pain and the horror she's endured will come back. It's filled with the drama and action(which really heavily starts halfway through this novel) and something much more.

Suzzane Collins knows how to entice, captivate, and ensare readers in a way I have never expreienced before. For about a week afterwards, I was still in a Hunger Games state of mind. Beautifully sculpted, and magical to read, this is defiently one of my personal favorites.

Monthly Read Suggestions for December

Ok, so I've seen this before, and I thought it would be a good idea for anyone who decides to follow this page. I think that every month we should have people suggest what book we should read for the next month, and then we have a poll and the top one is our group read. At the end of the month, we all talk about it. Good idea? Well, I'm taking suggestions now, so just comment below

Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay

The most tragic love story in history . . . 


Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But Romeo didn't anticipate that Juliet would be granted eternital life, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light.


For 700 years, Juliet has struggled to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent, while Romeo has fought for the dark side, seeking to destroy the human heart. Until now.


Now Juliet has found her own forbidden love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy their happiness.





*NEVER GOING TO PUT SPOILERS (IN ANYTHING)*
I honestly thought this was a fascinating read. Taking a classic love story and morphing it into something darker, more dangerous. I loved Romeo's (antagonist) purpose and personality in the book, not letting you know what he was doing until the last page. I thought hearing the story from Juliet's perspectivewas necessary, allowing us to hear her inner turmoil. But the clips from Romeo let us know what he was thinking, snd those parts were possibly my favorite part of the book. Now, on the other hand, the author hand, she wove this story into a spectacular battle between dark and evil, good and tainted light. The fact she incorporated being ruled over and true love within vivid descriptions, the book made me an instant and avid reader.She wrote in a similar style to Michelle Zink, who wrote The Prophecy of the Sisters. This book had me holding on till the last page, and the dramatic ending was the perfect way to conclude this amazing book. Not anything like I expected.  It made me give it a
five star

Hello There!

Hi there!
