| City of Bones (Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
I love this book because it has so much suspense. You never know what is going to happen, like with other books you always guess that there is going to have a happy ending, but with this one you never know. It's a book I can't put down.

I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down!! MARKED is the first of 4 in the House of Night (HON) series. This book is about Zoey Redbird, a newly marked vampyre, who has been enrolled in the House of Night to learn to become a full -fledged vampyre. Zoey soon learns that she has been marked by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx, and has special powers. Read the book to see how Zoey handles this new found power. Highly recommended by my friends and me!

| The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde |

The third book in Fforde's Thursday Next series is just as incredible as the first two, though even more abstract. Though the books become increasingly difficult to understand, the brilliant originality and sheer imagination makes up for any flaws.

| Need by Carrie Jones |

This was alright, but I definitely got some trying-to-be-TWILIGHT undertones. Plus, the main character was about 5 steps behind the reader the whole time. Still, not a bad read.

I never had a chance to read her Nightmares series, so I was really excited when I found out she was coming out with the Touch series. It did not disappoint and was a great starter novel for a series. I feel the characters will develop even more as the series goes on.

| Rating: 4 Stars |
This book was a great read. It was interesting, and kept you wanting to read more and more. The reason I loved it so much was that I can truly say THE OUTSIDERS is like nothing else I have ever read before. Reading this is like stepping into the book and experiencing what the characters experienced. Truly amazing.

This book is a Nutmeg Awards 2009 nominee. I think that out of the four I've read, it's the best. In this book, when you die, you go to Elsewhere. I love the characters and the weird and surreal life of the 'dead' people in Elsewhere.

This book really makes you think and that's my favorite part about it. It puts questions in your mind like is there really a God? Does someone really deserve to die, even though he himself has killed two other people? Overall this book is amazing and I would give it a 10 out of 10.

ANTHEM OF A RELUCTANT POET is a great book about a sixteen year old boy who suddenly knows when someone is going to die, and how. But Luke doesn't always know who that person is; he only gets flashes of faces he sometimes recognizes. It's hard enough to be a sixteen-year-old boy in high school, but being a prophet will be Luke's biggest challenge yet.

This book is completely awesome. It's about this boy who loves his girlfriind so much. When she wants to die and is in pain, she asks him to be with her when she commits suicide, but, she can't shoot herself because of fear, so they both shoot her together. It's a love story in the sense of giving to the one you love even if it hurts you. The story is about how the guy is accused of killing her, and how he wins the case against him.

I enjoyed reading THE DISREPUTABLE HISTORY OF FRANKIE LANDAU-BANKS by E. Lockhart because it is a story of triumph and success in a world that doesn't always appreciate women as being successful and capable people. Well, this story proves that accusation wrong on so many levels. Hillary Clinton has probably experienced something like what this young woman has been experiencing her whole life!

| Independence Hall: I, Q by Roland Smith |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
Roland Smith's newest novel, I, Q, is the first in the Independence Hall series. Blaze and Roger are a newly married couple that is about to begin their first tour across the US. They bring along with them their two children, Angela (Roger's daughter) and Q (which stands for Quest; he is Blaze's son). They are accompanied by an 'ancient' roadie who mysteriously showed up out of nowhere but claims to be from their parents' past. Along the trip, Q discovers that his stepsister's real mom was a Secret Service Agent who supposedly died in a terrorist attack. When they arrive in Philadelphia, Angela finds out an assassin is following her from the Israeli Mossad (Equivalent to the CIA or MI6). Surprising twists are around every corner throughout the novel. This book was so good, I read it in one day, and I recommend this book to anyone who likes action, suspense, and plot twists. Roland Smith has made yet another page-turner for teen readers.
