Hey It's Nisha and I'm going to tell you about 6 books I've read in the past 2 weeks.










The first books is called Sand Dollar Summer. I would give it a B+. It was pretty good though, and of corse I liked the ending.




Have you ever thought that if one thing hadn't happened, a whole set of things never would have either? Like dominoes in time, a single event kicked off an unstoppable series of changes that gained momentum and spun out of conrol, and nothing was ever the same again.





Twelve-year-old Lise watches her safe world fall apart when her strong self-reliant mom is injured in a car accident. To recuparate, mom takes Lise and her bright little brother to live in a rattletrap house on the beach in Maine for the summer. Although her mother grew up there, this is Lise's first experience with the ocean....and she's terrified.





The next book is called The Adoration of Jenna Fox. I'd give this book an A. I definitley liked the ending and it's actually sad in a way, but I still liked it.


Sometime in the near future now 18-year-old Jenna Fox awakens from an 18 month long coma following a devistating accident, her memory nearly blank. She attempts reorientation by watching videos of her childhood "recorded beyond reason" by worshipful parents, Jenna can recite passages from Thoreau yet can't remember having any friends. As memories return, however, Jenna starts picking at the explanation her parents have spun until it unravels. Clues are supplied by the supporting cast: Jenna's father, who made his fortune in biotechnologhy; a classmate whose loss of limbs has turned her into a crusader for medical ethics, Jenna's catholic grandmother, who is hostile to her. A few lapses in logic- if Jenna's father is world famous and the family is hiding, why does she enroll in under her real name?.........Read it to find out:)






The next book is called Th1rteen R3asons why, I'd give this book an A-, it was pretty sad but overall it was pretty good.



Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker-his classmate and crush-who committed suicide two weeks earlier.



On tape Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them, and if he listens he'll find out why and how he made the list.


Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves and intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.





The next book is called Every Soul a Star. This book was fantastic, I'd give it an A+. It is one that I would really recomend.



Ally, Bree, and Jack meet at the one place the Great Eclipse can be seen in totality, each carrying the burden of their own problems, whick become dim when compared to the task they embark upon and the friendship they find.







The next book is called 11 Birthdays. It's by the same author as Every Soul A Star(Wendy Mass) so of course it's great. I'd give it an A.






It's Amanda's 11th birthday and she's super excited-- after all, 11 is so different from 10. But from the start everything goes wrong. The worst part of it all is that she and her best friend, Leo, with whom she shared every birthday, are on the outs and this will be the first birthday they haven't shared together. When Amanda turns in for the night, glad to have her birthday behind her, she wakes up happy for a new day. Or is it? Her birthday seems to be repeating itself. Whats going on? And how can she fix it? Only time, friendship, and a little luck will tell...







The next book is called Wintergirls. This book was really good. I'd give it an A. It was also pretty sad, but it turned out to be a great book.




"Dead girl walking" the boys say in the halls. "Tell us your secret" the girls whisper, one toilet to another. I am that girl. I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through. I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.




Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the skinniest, but what comes after size zero, double zero? When Cassie succumbs to the demons within, Lia feels she is being haunted by her friends restless spirit.



In her most emotionally wrentching, lyrically written book since the multiple-award-winning Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's descent into the powerful vortex of anorexia, and her painful path toward recovery.

Hey guys, It's Nisha. Today I'm going to share with you four books I've read over the past two weeks.



The first book is called Genoration Dead, by Daniel Waters. It was a good book, I'd give it a B+. I plan on reading the second book called "Kiss of Life".


Phoebe is just your typical goth girl with a crush. He's strong silent.and dead. All over the country a strange phenomenon is happening. Some teenagers who die, aren't staying dead. They are coming back to life but they are no longer the same-they stutter, and their reactions to things are slower. Termed "Living impaired" or "Differently biotic". They are doing their best to fit into a society that dosen't want them.Fitting in is hard enough when you don't have the look or attitude, but when almost everyone else is alive and you're not, it's close to impossible. The kids at Oakdale High don't want to take classes or eat in the cafeteria next to someone who isn't breating. And there are no laws that exist to protect the differently biotic from the people who want them to dissapear-for good. With her pale skin and Goth wardrobe, Phoebe has never run with the popular crowd. But no one can beleive it when she falls for Tommy Williams, the leader of the Dead Kids.Not her bestfriend Margi, whose fear of differently biotic is deeply rooted with the past. Nor her neighbor Adam, the star of the football team. Adam has just realized his feelings for Phoebe run much deeper than just friendship. He would do anything for her, but what if protecting Tommy is the one thing that would make her happy?







The second book is called Madapple, I didn't think this book would be that good, but it's one of my favorite books so far. I'd definitly give it an A+.


The Secrets of the past meets the shocks of the present. Aslaug is an unusual young women. Her mother has brought her up in near isolation, teaching her about plants and nature and language-but not abot life. Especially not how she came to have her own life. And who her father might be. When Aslaug mother dies unexpectedly, everthing changs. For Aslaug is a suspect in her mother's death. And the more her story unravels, the more questions unfold. About the nature of Aslaug's birth, and what she should do next. About whether divine miracles have truly happened. And whether, when all other explanations are impossible, they might still happen this very day. This book is Addictive, but provoking, and shocking.







The third book is called Stealing Heaven. This book was great, sad, and very interesting. It would definitly earn an A.


"My name is Danielle, I'm eighteen. I've been stealing things for as long as I can remember". Dani has been trained as a theif by the best_her mother. Together, the move from town to town, targeting wealthy homes and making a living by stealing antique silver. They never stay in one place long enough to make real connections, real friends-a real life. In the beach town of Heaven, though everything changes. For the first time, Dani starts to feel at home. She's making friends and has even met a gut. But those people can never know the real Dani-because of who she is. When it turns out that her new friend lives in the house they've targeted for their next job and the cute guy is a cop. Dani must question where her loyalty lies, withe the life she's always known-or the one sh's always wanted.







The last book is called Wherever Nina Lies. This book is also one of my favorites. I'd give it an A+. But sad at times.


Nina was beautiful, artistic, wild...and adored by her younger sister Ellie. But one day, without any warning Nina disappeard. Two years later, Ellei can't stop thinking about her sister. Although everyone esse has given up hope that Nina will return, Ellei just knows sh's out there, somewhere. If only Ellie had a clue where to look. And then she gets one in the form of a mysterious drawng tucked into the pages of a book. Determined to find her sister, Ellie takes off on a crazy, sexy, cross-country road trip. With the one person who beleives she's got a chance--her hot adventerous new crush. Although on the way Ellie finds a few things she wasn't planning on. Like love. Mysteries. Lies. And something far more shocking--the truth.

Hi I'm Vaughnisha, but most people call me Nisha. Today's blog is going to be about the three books I've read in the last two weeks.




The first book is Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, by J.K. Rowling. I thought this was the best book so far of the Harry Potter series, I'd give it an A+. But I didn't like what happened at the end so much.




In the fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry faces challenges at every turn, from the dark threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (Voldemort, the person who killed Harry's parents), and the unrealibility of the government of magical world to the rise of Ron Weasly as the keaper of the Griffindor Quidditch team. Along the way he learns about the strength of his friends the fierceness of his enemies, and the meaning of sacrifice. If you liked the movies, you'll love the books!




The second book is The Truth About Forever, by Sarah Dessen. This book was also great I'd give it and A-. I am a fan of Sarah Dessen and all of her books. So far I've read Dreamland and The Truth About Forever.




Sixteen-Year-Old, Macy Queen is looking forward to a long boring summer. Her boyfriend is going away and she's stuck at a dull-asdishwasher job at the library. And she'll spend all of her free time studying for her SAT's of grieving silently with her mother over her father's recent unexpected death. But everything changes when Macy is corralled into helping out at one of her mother's open house events, and she meets the chaoitic Wish Catering crew. Before long, Macy joins the Wish team. She loves everything about the work and the people. But the best thing about Wish, is Wes- who gets Macy to look at life in a whole new way, and really start living it.......




The third book is called Marked,( the first book of the House Of Night Series), by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast, her daughter. I thought this book was pretty good, and I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Betrayed.




Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampire and joins the House of Night, a school where whe will train to become an adult vampire. That is, if she makes it through the Change-- and not al of those who are Marked do. It sucks to begin a new life especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampire Goddess, Nyx. Zoey discovers that she has amazing powers, but along with her powers comes bloodlust and and unfortunate ability to imprint her human ex-boyfriend. To add to her stress, she is not the only fledgling with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny--with a little help of new vampire friends.
