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 Recommendation - Percy Jackson and the Olympians series


Okay so I've only read the first one and am about 3 pages into the second one, but I think that this book series is AMAZING! It's also a good book series for teen boys. Most book series for teens are directed at teen girls, this series is all action-adventure and pure awesomeness plus the added bonus of getting to learn about Greek mythology which can be totally fun.

Enjoy! go read! now! stop reading this and go read The Lightening Thief! :P

Book Recommendations! - Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series


Okay, so the vampire academy is an awesome series. There are 2 kinds of vampires in it. Strigoi - the viscious, living dead ones and Moroi - the ones who are "normal" and live by a governed set of rules, have schools set up, and generally try to stay out of the public eye and only feed off people with permission. They can also harness the power of an element.

Lissa is a Moroi princess and is the last of her blood line.

Rose is her best friend and is a dhampir (yes, i realize this was not introduced when I said there were TWO kinds of vampires... this is because a dhampir is a HALF vampire, HALF human.)

They go to school together and while Lissa is trying to harness an elemantal power, Rose is learning to be a gaurdian to protect Moroi from Strigoi.

Click on a book for the first chapter or so, and if you read all of them and just can't wait till the next (Kiss of Death JUST came out recently) than click the tab Free Fiction to see more stories (the ones marked MV are about this series....duh lol)

Fellow nerds, this is my favorite book series. Hands down. They're great for a quick, light read and the vampires are actually the scary ones that today's teen fiction has seems to have forgotten about. While in some cases they cooperate with the vampires, they don't forget to be wary of them and carry an extra stake at all times, just to be safe.
