The Mercedes Thompson series by Patricia Briggs

This isn't for this book, but the third book in the series instead. (They're all amazing!) *Spoiler Alert!*

Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It was simply AMAZING. I wondered for a while how Ben knew all of that about her but then I remembered why he had come to America. And I still don't think that completely justifies it, nor does his own abuse as a child. Still, I love the way Briggs explains things through her readers; She gives everyone time to catch up, but doesn't let the fast thinkers get bored while doing it. And the last line! Oh man, I wanted her to elaborate a little on that. :)

Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead

Hello all! It's been way too long! I think I should start this up again though, although weekly may be a bit much, but be sure to check back once a month for sure!

Succubus Blues is a very interesting book by Richelle Mead. I absolutely loved it and it is one of my new "favorite books of all time".
It's about a succubus who is tired of being a succubus, she wants to live as a human and so she only steals the life force from sleazy guys rather than the real good guys. She works at a bookstore and she's super excited that her favorite author is coming to do a book signing. Her best friends are two vampires and a demon, (if you don't count her cat). When someone starts killing other immortals, she is suspected of being the murderer! She goes out investigating and meanwhile tries to juggle a love-life. The problem is, the guys who like her at the moment are really good guys and she doesn't want to hurt them by doing anything that would steal their lives from them. That means no kissing for Georgia Kincaid!
This book is soo well written, I really loved it. Some twists may have been hinted at ahead of time, but nothing that you'd be able to actually guess before it happens. This book is fresh and exciting! It's the first in the series of Georgia Kincaid books, so get started reading it now!!

Ghostgirl, Ghostgirl: Homecoming, & Ghostgirl: Lovesick

Ghostgirl is such a cool book. Its about a girl who spends all summer trying to figure out how to finally be cool and popular and then the first day of school, she chokes on a gummybear and dies right when she finally is about to get to talk to Damen, the local hottie. And that's just the first couple chapters. Ghostgirl, Charlotte, has to go to DeadEd and figure out how to help the rest of her class advance on to whatever happens after they graduate from class.

Scarlet is my favorite girl ever. If I could be anyone from a book, I would be her. She's her own person. She has a huge love of music and can tell when the person recording it is actually having fun and loving the song versus just doing it to do it. She dresses kind of odd at first, but she makes it work for her. She starts out liking slightly baggy clothes and bright red lipstick and this becomes a signature for her, but she makes it work for her. She's just a really cool person that I don't even fully know how to explain how much I love her.

Petula is Scarlet's older sister. She is the most popular girl in school, she's trendy, she's tan, she's fake in many many ways, and she's "perfect". One of those girls. Her sidekicks are two blonds called The Wendys and while they're not very smart all of the time, Petula likes it that way. She knows that she can control them and to be popular, you need a loyal posse.

Damen is the main boy in the entire series. He's gorgeous, into music, and just looking for the right girl to love. He's the boy that Charlotte dies trying to talk to while she chokes on her gummybear and there is so much more I could say about him but it would give away what happens in the other books.

CLICK ON THE TITLE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE

The website is really fun because it has several games to mess around with, a guitar contest, and an audio reading of part of the story. I really recommend this as a twist for people who don't necessarily like Sci-Fi but want something different than your average high school story.

SAVE THE SCOTTISH WILDCAT!!!! + Book Series Recommendation - Confessions of Georgia Nicolson

SAVE THE SCOTTISH WILDCAT!

http://www.scottishwildcats.co.uk/


http://www.scottishwildcats.co.uk/wildcat.html for a discription of them


Okay, now for the book recommendation (where this cause actually came from)


The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series is fun for light reading and once you understand the lingo (for you Americans out there, its in British English and she just makes up a lot of words anyways so its actually fun to start using them in everyday life)

She's a girl just starting high school and having to deal with boys and maturosity and sophisticosity :P


1. Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging

2. On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God

3. Knocked Out by my Nunga-Nungas

4. Dancing in my Nuddy Pants

5. Away Laughing on a Fast Camel

6. Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers

7. Startled by His Furry Shorts

8. Love is a Many Trousered Thing

9. Stop in the Name of Pants

10. Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?


(note: if you live outside of the U.S., the names will be slightly different)


Rating: Jr. High to teen level. While the titles say sex god and such, she doesn't actually engage in the act of it as the book is meant more to be light-hearted and funny so its more misadventures snogging boys and getting boyfriends and crazy things like the Viking Disco Inferno Dance and such... (a GREAT laugh btw, I urge you to try it)

seriously, I actually laugh out loud as I read these and have urges to share parts with people around me (usually my poor mother)

Book Reccommendations! this week - Melissa Marr's fey series

http://nerdfighters.ning.com/profiles/blogs/book-reccommendations-this

Hey, I'm a librarian at a public library in my hometown and a student worker at my college library. I think I'm going to start sharing with you different types of books that I think you may enjoy if you like certain other popular genres. At the moment, I specialize in Young Adult Fiction so I'm sorry if you like something completely different. Even if you do, keep checking back to see if there is something that you like. Or try something new, at least this won't kill you like cliff-diving could!
So for today I'm going to recommend the series of 4(+) books by Melissa Marr.
Wicked Lovely
Ink Exchange
Fragile Eternity
(soon to be released) Radiant Shadows

These books are about faeries set in the present mortal world, they are very beautifully written, and they feature tattoos, love, passion, danger, really dark-weird stuff, jealousy, greed, and a million other things that you should really check out!

If you really really super love them, I'll give you the link to Marr's secret social network for her fans. Its pretty freakin awesome if you can navigate it correctly and follow the rules. Also, Marr herself is on the site and answers questions the readers may have (beware, read through the old questions before just asking because chances are, it has already been posted and no one likes repeating themselves one million times.)
