Book Challenge

So my mom was nice enough to make a post on the book she is reading. You know the one I've been saying I'd read, but never do. Anyways, you can go check it out and tell her what you think. I'm here to remind you that I have this book challenge going on. I am looking for that one book where the girl falls in love with a nice nerdy guy, and I am asking for your help to find it. If you do, send me the name of the book, who wrote it, and a picture of the book. That easy. I'm not sure what you'll get if you do find one. Maybe we should brain storm on some things. Anyways, my mom and I are both sure there is a book out there that has what I'm looking for. We haven't been able to find it yet, but trust me, we are looking too. So far we have found good looking bad boys or just plain good looking guys. So remember to look out for a book that has a girl falling in love with a nice guy, or a nerdy nice guy. So until next time.....

Reading Glimmerglass part one by Mom

Hi, everyone - I am Lys's Mom. As I am starting to give you my first blog of the Glimmer glass, Lys just took a drink from my glass of my milk which I just poured. Grrrrr. I always believe that we should share but leave a little for me. Ok? The reaction I get is a little smile but she continues on drinking  my glass of milk.... To let you know, she did leave me a little.
Now, back to my thoughts of this book. When I started reading, I had images of movies that popped in my head that were similar to what was happening in the book. So, far I got "What a Girl Wants" and "Mortal Instruments." So, far that I have read, is a girl that has been raised by a mother that has a drinking problem. The mother says bad things about the girls' Dad when she is sober to make her stay with her but then again tells her great things when she is drunk. So, the girl decides to go and call her Dad to meet him. So, she runs away from her Mom. It isn't exactly like the movie but you get the just. The girl travels to London and then to Avalon, which is the border between the real world and the magical world. Here the girl is sort of kidnapped before she meets her Dad for the first time by her Aunt. Her Aunt kept her in a cell for safe keeping and guarded by something very huge. She was rescued by the gorgeous guy and sister, gee didn't see that coming, right? Still she hasn't met her father, she has been attacked by monsters that look like twigs and their is a battle of politics in the magic kingdom. The Good versus Evil motif. Who will win and it all will depend on the girl's life. Still I like to know- when is she going to meet or see her dad. So, I will continue reading the book just to see when will she meet him and will her image of him be what she dreamed of. Till next time..... bye.

Reading Take Me There and random thoughts

I'm trying to give this book the benefit of the doubt. It is still not picking up. I'm to the point that I'm dragging my feet reading this book. Nothing is really going on. Like I said, I don't like it. Some of you would love this book, I know that. But I can't get into this book. I'm pretty far in it and I'm just not feeling it. It is just too dry for me. If I were to rate this book right now from what I read, I'd give it a two. Maybe even a one.
Anyways, on another note that is completely random. I couldn't help but notice that every romance book I've read involves a girl falling for the bad boy. You never read a book where its a nice guy. They are always strong muscular and have a bad rep. I want to find one book where a girl goes for the nice nerdy looking guy in the corner of the room. Someone who isn't muscular. Someone who doesn't have a bad rep. I know its human nature to go for the strongest guy and the most good looking guy. Even maybe have the challenge to help a bad boy settle down and be that one girl he can't live with out. If only that worked in real life. I tried the bad boy route and it didn't end well. I like the dorky semi muscular guy that makes me smile. He's more like a noodle then anything. But that is besides the point. I want you to help me find that one book where the girl doesn't fall for the bad boy. Find that one book that the guy is kind of dorky or nerdy. Someone that no one would be attracted to. When you find it, send me the title of the book, with the author's name, and maybe even a picture of the book. I want to know if there is such a book out there. That will be your mission. So until next time...

Paused Styxx and started reading Take Me There by Carolee Dean

I decided to put Styxx aside due to the fact that its taking me so long to read. I haven't made ten percent yet. More like nine percent. Anyways, I decided to finish the short ones that I have. Starting with Take Me There by Carolee Dean. To be honest, I don't like it. To me it feels highly dry. Its kind of something that a teacher would choose to read for school. Or at least that is my opinion. I'm not even sure I'm going to finish it. You guys can still read it. I don't want what I say effect your thoughts on books. I'm pretty sure there are a few of you who would love this book. Anyways, I don't like it. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Check it out if you'd like, but I'll try to read halfway into the book. I'm just not going to make any promises. But, I guess I should tell you what I have read so far. The book is kind of confusing as it is dry. It tends to change from the past of when he met a certain girl named, Jess, and in the present when he is on the run. Our main character is named Dylan by the way. I forgot to mention that. Anyways, besides the switching time zones, there are poems and articles of some sort placed randomly throughout the book. That is pretty much it. It doesn't really explain much right now, maybe later on in the book. But, I'll probably never make it to the end anyways. So I'm going to head out now and attempt to finish this book. Most likely not. So until next time....

Started reading Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon

So the low down on this book is that it is about Acheron's brother. Or more commonly known as Ash because it's easier to say. Also if you don't know who Ash is, he is the first and leader of the dark hunters. He even has his own story in the series where you find out about his history and how he became a dark hunter, and also you read about him finding his true love. Def wasn't Artemis, she ruined that chance. Anyways, for those who have read Ash's story, this is basically is Styxx's side of the story. You know what they say, 'there is always two sides to every story' and this one for sure does. Since half of Ash's story was told through their sister's eyes, this is solely through Styxx's eyes. You find out that Ryssa, their sister, didn't see the whole picture. To her, Styxx was just a selfish brat that hated his brother. According to this book, Styxx loved his brother very much and did everything to protect him. Also Styxx felt like that Ash was his only best friend when they were kids. Then Ash was taken away. Styxx was forced to fight for himself and put others feelings before his. He has also wised up through the years and learned what to do that will provide lesser punishment. Poor kid. Styxx apparently didn't have it as easy as Ryssa thought. I pretty much stopped where he was doing his fighting lesson and he gained the respect of his trainer by no complaining about his injuries. To me that is just too sad. When you read the book you will understand why I said that. Anyways, I'm going to continue to read the book. I have over 800 pages to read and I'm not even a tenth of the way through the book. This is going to take a while. So until next time....

Finished reading Beautiful Oblivion

All I have to say is that my mind is completely blown with the ending of the book. I would of never guessed an ending like that. You basically find out who Cami's ex is. But, lets talk about the book before I ruin it and tell you the big secret. You basically don't have to read Beautiful Disaster or Walking Disaster to read this book. Cami and Trent have a pretty easy relationship except for the fact that Cami's ex-friend keeps popping out of nowhere and starts messing with things. The guy couldn't get the hint that she just didn't want him anymore. Trent was about ready to kill the guy. Also it makes sense on why her brother's threw a fit in the beginning when TJ ditched her when you find out the true identity. I'm so tempted to tel you everything, but that would ruin the book and I don't want to do that. I'm happy to say that this book did not disappoint me. I may have also shed a tear or two during the fire scene. Damn. Lizzie McGuire got me again with that scene. Thats the third time in a row. I still have to say that Travis is still my favorite Maddox brother though. Sorry Trent. Anyways, now I don't have to worry about my mom hiding the book on me. I'd still care if she did, but now I won't be rocking back and forth in a corner wondering what happened next in the book. I'm so glad I bought it. I don't think I could return it to the library if I borrowed it from there. I so highly recommend this book and I will for sure force my mom to read it. But, now I must read my library books that I picked up. I'll start with the biggest and that would be Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Yep, another one of her books. I'm almost all caught up, so give me some credit. So until next time...

Reading Beautiful Oblivion

For those who don't remember what Beautiful Oblivion looks like since I posted something about it in the beginning of the month. Also if you hadn't noticed, I tend to talk about the characters in any book as if they were real people. To me they kind of are. You can say that my books are my best friends in the whole world. Anyways, lets talk Beautiful Oblivion. I pretty much fell in love with the book within the first chapter. Trent is just as charming as his brother Travis. Also instead of betting a girl to live with him, Trent pulls a dirtier trick. He brings in the neighbor's kid. And, I have to say that Olive sounds like a very adorable little girl. Well played Trent, well played. Also Cami is someone I'm ready to smack. Instead of going for a guy that is obviously interested in her and will take time out of his day to spend as much time with her, the girl is stupid to be caught up with a boyfriend that puts his job before her. The girl reminds me of a friend I have who does the same exact thing. Well, her boyfriend doesn't choose a job over her, he more likes to choose other girls over her. My friend I can strangle, Cami I can not. But I would if I could. Anyways, a lot is going on and I'm about halfway through the book. Told you I could finish it in a day. Anyways, I'm to the point that its starting to over lap a little with Beautiful Disaster. I'm still addicted to the love story of Abby and Travis. I'm starting to wish I had a Maddox boy willing to fight to keep me in his life. Those boys now that when they find the girl, they are willing to bring her in and keep her. But, those boys are only fictional and I'm stuck loving a musician. Anyways, I'm going to go finish off the book now. So until next time....
