ANIMAL FARM

ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell 144 pp. Penguin Group. £8.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9780141182704 Rating: ? Stars     This book is set in a future when animals are much cleverer than now. And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders. But, the story that follows only happened a few years after that...     Their first leader, Old Major, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal. But when Napoleon became the leader it was very unpleasant. He made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that forced all of the other animals to work crazily hard every day and night. That wasn’t enough, Napoleon wanted more power.     He decided to kill his brother, Snowball, so that he would be the only leader. Snowball was admired because he came up with a clever idea to build windmill. Sn...

Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2013



Today is the last week of one of my most favourite weeks in the book blogging community- the Top Ten lists of 2012! This year's Top Ten of 2012 is hosted by Lisa from A Life Bound By Books, Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic, Jaime from Two Chicks on Books, Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads, and Rachel from Fiktshun!

*In no particular order. Because... Seriously I don't know which I want more than the others*

(Images property of owners)
1) "Isla and the Happily Ever After" by Stephanie Perkins: I love Stephanie Perkins, like, LOVE LOVE. I think that it's safe to say that I have a girl crush on her. Why? BECAUSE SHE CREATED BOTH CRICKET AND ETIENNE! So admittedly I have little idea what this book is about (and there is still no cover), but Ashley and I have BIG ideas (basically the above image- plus robots and each of the previous characters putting all of their various talents to use).

2) "The Indigo Spell" by Richelle Mead: With an ending like that of "The Golden Lily" I NEED this book (Ummmm.... Have you read the second chapter of this yet? NO! DO IT! You can find it HERE).

3) "Unravel Me" by Tahereh Mafi: I have no words for this book. Basically "Shatter Me" is one of my most favourite books of all time and I need this book. STAT. Especially with the knowledge that Warner plays an even larger role in it (I don't know about y'all but I am oddly drawn to Warner).

4) "Detergent" by Veronica Roth: With "Insurgent's" ending, which rivals that of one of M. Night Shyamalan's films, this is another book that I NEED- I NEED to better understand how and why the Chicago of this world came to be how it is. Also, I need a Four fix.

5) "Clockwork Princess" by Cassie Clare: With Cassie being my favourite author of all time there is no question why this is one of my most highly anticipated books of 2013. Jem or Will? JEM OR WILL? Or *gasp* neither?

6) "Dead Silence" by Kimberly Derting: Gawd. Now when I look over these books I realize that SO MANY of my favourite book series are drawing to a close. While I'm excited for this installment of Jay and Vi I'm also sad because it means no more Jay and Vi.

7) "The Rising" by Kelley Armstrong: While I do like Maya, Rafe, and the gang, I am most excited for this book because Chloe and Derek will be making an appearance in it!

8) "With All My Soul" by Rachel Vincent: This ending to this series has been a long time coming- I can remember way back when when I ran out on the release date of the first to purchase it! Like with my Four Fix I need a Tod fix!

9) "The Elite" by Kiera Cass: I loved "The Selection" I thought that it was so lighthearted and fun, but I'm looking forward to this book where I hope that all of the palace's secrets are revealed.

10) "Scarlet" by Marissa Meyer: Admittedly I have had an ARC of this book sitting on my shelves untouched for the past couple of months. Why? Because I am waiting til closer to its release date to read it! I can't wait until I can finally dig in and meet both Scarlet and Wolf!

CHARMED LIFE

CHARMED LIFE The Worlds Of Chrestomanci Book 1 By Diana Wynne Jones. 288 pp. HarperCollins. £5.99 (Ages 12 and up) ISBN 9780007255290 Rating: 5 Stars       I really liked this book because it can get a bit funny.       This book is about a witch, named Gwendolen, and her little brother, named Cat Chant, whose parents have died when they went in a paddle steamer and it broke so they drowned. Cat Chant was holding on to Gwendolen (who is a witch, and witches don't drown) so he didn't drown.       As Gwendolen stayed with Mrs Sharp longer, she started to turn into the best witch in town, and starts to want to live with Chrestomanci. When she gets there she wants to have more magic classes, but Chrestomanci doesn't let her, so she wants revenge. Gwendolen trys many things but never gets any reaction. Finally when she does her last thing, which was make bugs turn into giants, she gets a reaction, but i...

GRACE

GRACE By Morris Gleitzman 192 pp. Puffin. £6.99. (Ages 12 and up) ISBN 9780141336039 Rating: ? Stars We borrowed this book twice from the library but the first time I didn’t read it because I was busy reading other books. You may think that I finally started reading this book because it had a really cool cover or because the name sounded exciting. If you did think one these things then you are completely wrong because the front cover was only a picture of a girl and the name of the book was the name of the girl, Grace. The reason I read this book was actually because I had been to the Red House Book Awards and he was one of the people that might have won the award, so I thought it must be a good book then and decided to read the book. You are probably wondering what the book is about. It is about a girl called Grace who starts doing what she calls ‘sins’. In her church the dad always gets the blame. Because of this her dad gets expelled, which means he has to go away and never gets...
