Started reading Frozen by Melissa De La Cruz & Michael Johnston

Honestly I forgot that I even won this book in a contest, but it arrived in the mail just recently. So I figured I'd check it out right away because the other book I'm reading isn't going anywhere. But my first impression of the book was the fact that the cover was really cool. In the sunlight it did this rainbow shine effect, making it look the Northern Lights. I was highly entertained by that for a least twenty minutes. I'm such a simple mind. But I first read it out loud to my mom while waiting in the car with her when we picked up my younger adopted siblings. Lesson learned on that one. We can never take anything seriously when we are together. Especially a book. Anyways, with the first few pages I read, the book felt like it was repeating a lot. Well at least in the very beginning. Also the layout of the book is a little confusing. I say this because it seems to be in parts. Also it switches between two different characters every new chapter. But I do get the setting of the story. It seems like its in the future and that maybe the volcano in Yellow Stone erupted because half of the world is in ruin and froze over. I say this because scientists say that if Yellow Stone erupted, half of the USA would be destroyed and the ash cloud would cover the sky completely, creating the new ice age. But there is one question that rises with this book. Why is is so bad to have blue eyes? Like what happened that made those people so different? If this was our world today, I'd be dead. Or, hunted down. Thats kind of scary to think about. Anyways, that is all I have to say about the book right now. I'm sure there will be a lot to talk about when I get halfway. I wonder what this book has in store for me that had all the big time reviewers praising it. So until next time......

Started reading Mind Game by Christine Feehan

I could of sworn that I did a review on here for the first book in the series. As usual I am wrong once again. Anyways, this is a second book in a series that I read a while back. I am not quite sure what the first book was about but I have a general idea. Like the fact there is this group of men that worked for the government and they took part of this one project that involved them getting physic powers. Eventually they escape because they don't want to be a part of it anymore. The captain or leader of the group falls in love with a doctor that worked at the place they were being held. Then they find out that the doctor, Lilly, was actually adopted and went through the same project that the group of guys did. So now they all live together hunting down others like them that was in this project. Which leads to this book. Right now they are studying a woman named Dahlia's videos from when she was part of the project. They are only doing this so they can understand her more before going to her and helping her control her powers. And since this is a romance novel in a way, one of the guys in the group is going to fall in love with our soon to be leading lady. I already know who because for once I read the back of the book. Now its all about how they fall in love. So until next time.....

Update?

Hey fellow bookworms,

I haven't quite started reading my next book. Not because I didn't pick it up from the library, because I did that. The reason is because I haven't touched Divergent since my last post about it. Why? Because curiosity got the better of me and I checked out a game that my little brothers play. Probably not going to do it as much as they do it because video games get boring after awhile. But I do plan on wrapping up the book tonight and start the next read by tomorrow morning.

Anyways, I also found my camera. Or, I should say that my mom found it. She is so good at finding things. Either way, I can finally do those video I wanted to do for this blog. Now I just have to figure out how to do it before actually doing it. That would probably be the best idea, right?

Also I got rid of my My Writing page. Why? Because I had too many pages and I needed to cut down. Also I felt like that if I kept it up any longer, someone would come along and try to steal the idea. I am not saying you guys would be that mean, but I also know it does happen. I rather be safe then sorry when it comes to my writing.  But I do plan on posting up what I wrote as proposals to publishing companies. That way you guys will know what the book is about, but not actually read the book. Right now I'm trying to write one and admitted defeat on not entering a contest. I know that there are many more contests out there and I just need time to get the creative juices flowing again.

But that should be all for now. If you have any questions you want to ask me or any book recommendations, you can email me at lysrobison@gmail.com. You can also send suggestions on making this blog better.

So until next time......

Almost done reading Divergent

Okay, about after halfway through the book it is nothing like the movie. Or, should I say the movie is nothing like the book. Sure there were key points that were included in the movie, but its still completely different. Either way, both versions defiantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. Anyways, I'm almost done with the book. I only have a few pages left and I can't tell you how it ends because that would ruin the book. Also I'm pretty sure everyone has read the whole series by now. But finishing this book means that I can buy the second book when I get my fifty dollar budget for the bookstore. Anyways, I'm so happy that the movie didn't ruin the book for me. Unlike some that shall not be named. Only because they aren't important and I didn't actually read the whole entire book. But I strongly suggest you go read the book if you haven't already. Its not the best book I've ever read, but its pretty good. I'm more of a romance kind of person, but its nice to grab something that isn't in my usual genre or age group. So until next time.....

Reading Divergent

Hello my fellow bookworms,

I am about halfway through Divergent and I still haven't made the much needed trip to the library. I should really get on that. Anyways, I am spotting a lot of differences in the book from the movie so far. And I honestly thought the book wasn't going to be all that good after watching the movie first. I have been wrong before, so it is not a surprise that I'm wrong this time once again. Anyways, the book starts like how it does in the movie. But after that it gets different. If I remember correctly, there was no walking around a school, or taking a bus. I don't even think our leading lady faces a factionless on the way home after taking her test. Even the character Eric is different from the movie. Honestly the book just makes me hate the guy more. Anyways there a lot of differences between the two. And honestly I wish that Hollywood would get these movies as close to the book as possible. I us bookworms would really pay top dollar to see the entire book played out in real life with every detail that the book had. I only say this, because I know I would. Anyways, I'm at the part where they are at stage two for initiation. And might I add that even that is different? Shocking. So far the book is pretty good. Really wish the movie was just like it, but I guess we can't have things go our way. But I'm going to head out right now. I have things to do in order to be able to get the rights to buy another CD or book. We have a jar where I get to pick out a prize after accomplishing something big. Like cleaning my baby sister's room. That kid is a hoarder in the making, believe it or not. So until next time.......

Started reading Divergent by Veronica Roth

So my books aren't in at that library yet. Kind of sad really, but what do you expect with a state that can't decide if it wants to rain or snow. Anyways, I decided to read a book that pretty much everyone has read, expect me. I know that there is like three movies out on the series and here I am never have read the books. I've seen the movies, which honestly is a big mistake. Because the book gets boring after seeing the movie first. Sometimes seeing the movie just ruins the thrill of the book. Anyways, I figured I'd read this book while I wait for my books to come in. I do have another library book in my back pack, but I can't read it because its a follow up series to another series that I just started. So to keep me from being confused on that book, I figured I'd just return it until the other series is done. Anyways, I don't have high expectations for this book that I'm now reading. Only because I saw the movie first. I bought the book thinking that I had time to read it before seeing the movie, but that never happened. I honestly have too many books that I have to read that it is extremely sad. It borderlines tragic. And yet I still buy more books. But I'm going to go read now. So until next time.......

Coming to an end with Born of Betrayal

Twice in the past two chapters Sherrilyn Kenyon gave me a heart attack. Twice. Why you got to make me think you are killing everyone? I know its during a war and what not, but why you got to be killing people? Especially all of the main characters of the series? Not cool. Anyways, things are getting really intense in the book now. War is at it fullest right now. Places that hold loved ones are being destroyed. An unexpected friend surfaces. Well, I wouldn't call him a friend. But that is besides the point. But all of this happens after a very happy time. Seems like things were going to be okay and that everyone was going to be happy. And then assassins are taken out before they could do their job, a royal palace that was holding everyone's loved ones gets blown up, and the orphanage at the Travali base gets blown up. Lots of tears get shed and maybe some relief as well. But the book is getting so good that I'm to the point that I can't put it down. Also this is most likely going to be my last post on the book. Only because I don't want to ruin anything. I know I suck. But go check out the book if you haven't yet. Also if you haven't even read the series or even started, I suggest you go do that. You will not be disappointed. Sherrilyn gets two thumbs up from me and that isn't just because she is one of my favorite writers. So until next time.......
