Sapphire Blue by: Kerstin Gier

*CAUTION DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ RUBY RED BY: KIRSTEN GIER*

Back Cover: Gwen’s life has been a rollercoaster since she discovered she was the Ruby, the final member of the secret time-traveling Circle of Twelve. In between searching through history for the other time-travelers and asking for a bit of their blood (gross!), she’s been trying to figure out what all the mysteries and prophecies surrounding the Circle really mean.

At least Gwen has plenty of help. Her best friend Lesley follows every lead diligently on the Internet. James the ghost teaches Gwen how to fit in at an eighteenth century party. And Xemerius, the gargoyle demon who has been following Gwen since he caught her kissing Gideon in a church, offers advice on everything. Oh, yes. And of course there is Gideon, the Diamond. One minute he’s very warm indeed; the next he’s freezing cold. Gwen’s not sure what’s going on there, but she’s pretty much destined to find out.

Rating: 4/5

This sequel to Ruby Red was really good. It leaves you hanging the entire book and you never really know who to trust. It's great! It could be a little annoying at times though because Gideon and Gwen could both be ridiculous at times. This sequel left you wanting the next book desperately!

Four: A Divergent Collection

". . . becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it, that's the point."
-Four: A Divergent Collection, Four

Where She Went by: Gayle Forman

**CAUTION DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ IF I STAY**

Back Cover: It's been three years since the devastating accident. . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever.

Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Julliard's rising star and Adam in LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future---and each other.

Rating: 4/5

This sequel to If I Stay was so great! Set in Adam's perspective you finally get to see what happens after Mia decides to stay. When Mia and Adam "find" each other in New York it is magical in a way. They travel the streets that Mia has come to love and just talk.

This book was a fantastic story of lost love found again. I loved how it was in Adam's perspective so you get to see how he felt through the whole experience of Mia being in the hospital and how he reacts to Mia walking out on him. Throughout the entire book there are little pieces of Adam's songs that he wrote after Mia left. It's so beautiful in a broken kind of way.

If I Stay by: Gayle Forman

Back Cover: On a day that started like any other. . .
Mia had everything: a loving family, a gorgeous, adoring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music and full of choices. Then, in an instant, almost all of that is taken from her. Caught between life and death, between a happy past and an unknowable future, Mia spends one critical day contemplating the one decision she has left---the most important decision she'll ever make.

Rating: 4/5

The story follows Mia after she and her family get in a massive accident. While Mia is an a coma she has an out of body experience where she is able to walk around the hospital and see everything that is happening while she is asleep. Now Mia has to make the biggest decision in her life. Should she stay? Or should she go?

Since this book is now a movie I decided that before I saw it I HAD to read the book! I still haven't seen the movie but the book was so great! When Mia's parents are killed on impact during the crash it brought upon me a shocking realization that life is so fleeting. Within a moment you can go from having everything to nothing. I feel like this book revealed to me that you need to live every day like your last because you never know when the people you love will be snatched away, or if you'll be snatched away. The author portrays perfectly the inner struggle in Mia that I believe all of us would go through if we had to decide whether we wanted to stay on the world or pass on the something else.

This book was a little slow and there were definitely no action scenes, but if you're a fan of The Fault in Our Stars you will fall in love with If I Stay!

Life of Pi by: Yann Martel

Back Cover: After the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan -- and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years.

Rating: 4/5

I fished Life of Pi in about two days. Not because I was completely captivated by it but because it was an assignment for school that I decided to start two days before the test. Even though this was an assignment for school, this book was amazing. I wish I would have read it on my own before it was assigned to me, but even having not read it of my own free will it was so very intriguing. 

It can be a little slow at times, but if you keep in mind that the entire book is an allegory it takes on a whole new meaning. As you try to figure out what everything means and symbolizes you realize this book is so much deeper than what you originally thought. 

This book goes deeply into religion and other aspects of life. 

If you are looking for a book that will make you think then this is the book for you!

You can buy this book as a hardcover on Amazon.

Ruby Red by: Kerstin Gier

Back Cover: Sixteen-year-old Gwen lives with her extended-and rather eccentric-family in an exclusive London neighborhood. In spite of her ancestors' peculiar history, she's had a relatively normal life so far. The time-traveling gene that runs like a secret thread through the female half of the family is supposed to have skipped over Gwen, so she hasn't been introduced to "the mysteries," and can spend her time hanging out with her best friend, Lesley, watching movies and talking about boys. It comes as an unwelcome surprise then when she starts taking sudden, uncontrolled leaps into the past.

She's totally unprepared for time travel, not to mention all that comes with it: fancy clothes, archaic manners, a mysterious secret society, and Gideon, her time-traveling counterpart. He's obnoxious, a know-it-all, and possibly the best-looking guy she's seen in any century.

Rating: 4.5/5

With time-travel and hot guys how could this book get any better? I thought this book was so great, but it didn't have me up all night reading it so I just couldn't give it a 5/5.

When Gwen suddenly gets sucked into this secret world of time-travelers that she's only heard about through whispered conversations she's eavesdropped on it's a big shock! She's known all her life that her cousin Charlotte is the one with the time-travelling gene, but once she finds out that was a lie and it's her that is now spiraling through time she's thrown for a loop! But with the hottie, that's also a little bit of a jerk with a sweet side, Gideon starts helping Gwen everything seems to get a little bit better. . . until everything goes wrong. Gwen has to question everything everyone has told her and will soon have to pick a side. The question is what side will she pick? And will Gideon follow her or will they be ripped apart?

This entire book I was on the edge of my chair waiting to figure out what happens next. With every conflicting opinion it just confused me even more, but in a good way. Gideon has been taught his entire life what's right but now it seems that might be wrong. The internal struggle with the characters is so captivating! Also, the main character Gwen is so easy to relate to that you can't help but love her. She's not some extreme martial artist or some secret spy for the CIA. She's a perfectly normal school girl who has a best friend she tells everything to and giggles about boys. She is the perfect representation of how anyone, even a seemingly perfectly average school girl, can do anything they put their mind to.

Over all this book was great and I can't wait to get the next one!

You can buy Ruby Red as a hardcover on Amazon.

I'm back from New York but I'd like to inform you that when I created my blog my friend Kitty and I were going to do it together but then we decided that it would be a better idea if we each had our own separate blogs so go check out kittyreview.blogspot.com

(P.S. I’m gonna try and have a review up by tonight but while I’m reading the book I’ll post some of my favorite quotes I come across so you guys don’t get bored)

Paper Towns by: John Green

Back Cover: Who is the real Margo? Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life---dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge---he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues---and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he though he knew. . . .

Rating: 4/5

Paper Towns is a great mystery! Every time you turn the page it's more mystery and more questions. Where do the clues lead to? Why are these clues for Q and not anyone else? This book will keep you on the edge of your chair wondering what will happen next. Even though Q loves Margo there is only the slightest bit of romance so if you don't like romance novels, but still love a good mystery with a shot of humor this book is for you.

The paperback of Paper Towns is only $9 on Amazon so go buy it today!

The Fault in Our Stars by: John Green

Back Cover: Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist names Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

Rating: 5/5

I read this book in six hours straight on Thursday and then the next day I started reading it again. I’m almost done with it for the second time and I love it just as much as I did the first time around.

This is a phenomenal book! I have never been able to choose what my favorite book is until now. This book made me think about things that I would never have thought of before. It made me think about life and about death and just how temporary we really are. The love story was amazing, but it was more than just a love story. It changed the way I view life and it was just so great. Everything about this amazing book connected with me on a cellular level.

If I were you I would get off your computer and go and get this book. You won’t regret spending $8 on Amazon to buy it because it is a book that you will be proud to have on your book shelf.

(And Augustus Waters is so amazing! He just adds to the awesomeness of the book.

HELLO!

Hey!


This is my first post so I’m just gonna say hiya and introduce myself. You can call me Kaykay and pretty much I just love books. For a while I’ve wanted to start a blog so I can talk to other people about the books I love and write fan-fiction/do reviews/draw fan-art and I’ve finally done it! 


So pretty much if you follow me you won’t be disappointed.  I’ll never post a spoiler without warning everyone before hand that it is a spoiler so if anyone hasn’t read the book I’m gonna talk about I’ll make sure they know not to look at that post. 
A little about me is I love animes, Supernatural, Sherlock, Doctor Who and many other shows. I write almost everyday if I can and am in the process of trying to finish my first book. I play tennis occasionally but usually I just stay home with my cat and read. 

Over all I’m just happy to finally get this page up and I would be eternally grateful if you shared this page with your friends!  My first review should be up by tonight or tomorrow. 


Thanks!
