Reejecttion by Daniel Clausen

            I have not finished this short story yet, but it is very interesting. I think that this was a self published book, which I don't normally read self published books, but  I decided to give this one a try. I highly enjoy his writing style. It sounds like he is talking to the read. The conversation tone, I would say, takes the cake. I haven't read many things with conversational tones and have that last quite a bit of what I have read. I love it.
            Reejecttion is about rejection. There are some parts of this book that I am not fond of. For example, in parts where he is reviewing a book that I haven't read I can't relate to that part. I don't have any connection for that part of that book.

           Would I suggest this book from the half of the book that I have already read? 

           I would recommend that you read Reejecttion. I would recommend that if you an aspiring writer to read this, but honestly everyone faces rejection, so this would benefit anyone. 

            Please note that this author has many free works that you can find. I found him on Library Thing. You can create an account and look him up there. He is also on goodreads. Please check him out!

Book Mail Excitement

I am so excited to announce that sometime soon I am getting my first book mail. For a high school student with no job it can be trying at times to afford books when I would like a new one. SO I am ecstatic that I am getting 6 books sent to me from The Book Outlet. Granted one of the books is the last book in a trilogy I have yet to read, or own the first two. I couldn't pass the opportunity to get it at a cheap price and it be a hardcover. AMAZING! Also, ladies and gentlemen I have started a YouTube account for the book world, book tube, and I have to set it up so you can find me tomorrow, but it will be up soon for YOU! I hope you watch it! 

Question of the day:

What are you currently reading?

My answer:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! It's my first time reading them... I know! How could I have NOT read them yet?!?! ... Im not sure either.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

             To all the fangirls of anything,

READ THIS BOOK. This is the ultimate fangirl book. It's about a fangirl. Not just any fangirl. Cath is THE fangirl. She writes fanfiction with over 20,000 hits a day/ post. Anywho, fangirl is about Cath's first year at college. We get to take a peak into the life of the ultimate fangirl. Who she loves, what she likes, what she dislikes, and how she deals with things. Everyone deals with things differently. I am a fangirl, but I lead a different life than Cath. We have different situations and there is not one things that I absolutely love.
     
             I suggest this book to everyone. This is an AMAZING book! Granted this book may not be for everybody, but it is for  people who read The Fault in Our Stars or anything by Sarah Dessen. Things by Stephanie Perkins. However amazing I think this book is, it is NOT for young children. I would recommend this book for people 13 -14 and older. You can get the book HERE at the Book depository website. Please check out the book and add this book to your shelves.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

            I was amazed by the "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld. Tally is a 15 almost 16 year old girl. In this society they undergo a surgery when they are 16 that makes them "pretty". They tell children beginning at a small age that they cannot be pretty until they go through with the surgery. I find that cruel.They are children and children need love and acceptance for who they are. Each child/person is beautiful in their own way. Aside from personal beliefs and back to the book, Shay Tally's new friend runs away. The special circumstances portion of the government gives her a choice. Betray and reveal Shay or be ugly forever...
            One thing I absolutely love that Scott does is make Tally feel beautiful without turning pretty. That is something many people can relate to. Accepting who they are or loving themselves and their body. Loving how you look without being vain. I would definitely recommend this book to all. If you liked "The Hunger Games," or "Divergent," then you would love "The Uglies."
            You can get it HERE to get your copy of "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld on the Book Depository. The website offers great deals on all the latest books. I hope you love it. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

May 2015 Book Haul/ June TBR

If you read my last post, then you might know that I went to the Dallas RT (Romantic Times) convention. All of my books were scored at that time. I spent all of my money there! That wasn't too much, but still I had a great time and I love being able to get so many books. Here is the pic of the books I scored this month:

I

Since I went to the RT Convention, I now have plenty of amazing books to read. This will also be my June TBR pile. I might read "The Book Thief" by Mark Zuzak too.


What books are you reading currently?
I'm reading "The Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld

RT Convention 2015

            Two weeks ago I has the opportunity to go to the Romantic Times Convention. It is such a great opportunity and if you ever get to go, you should GO! I came out of the convention with 25 books! I bought 5 there and brought with me 2. I have eight signed. The total amount of money I spent compared to how many books I got would've been less than $5 a book!! I went to the Teen Day Party and we got to interact with all the authors. We had little class type sessions. I went to speed reading. At this particular one the authors read short snippets from one of their books. Then, I went to a writing tips and techniques session. The only author I knew in their was Kathy Reichs. 

I had a great time and I have some pictures to show you!

            Here is my 25 books! At the end of this post I will list the books and the authors. The Books Standing up are signed. All of the books laying down are books that I got with the bag on the floor. While looking at this picture I realized that Anna and the French Kiss is laying down, but I did get that signed by Stephanie Perkins. 

            This is L. H. Nicole. She has a book called Legendary coming out soon! I need to get it! She's super nice and she was assigned to my group to help us with a quiz to get our books. We lost the quiz, but we had fun doing it!

            This is Erica Cameron. She is super nice , as they all were, and super happy to talk about anything and everything. She, with the help of L. H. Nicole, was with my group during our quiz to get our book bags.

            I have been waiting to meet this amazing person for years! Kiera Cass is funny and, beautiful, and overall one of the best people I have ever met! The Heir, the fourth installment in the Selection series, just came out this month! It is pretty amazing. I love her books and she is just a great person.

            Here is Marie Lu. I didn't get to talk to her for long, but her books are good, so it's okay!

            Sara Raasch is cool. I haven't read anything by her, but I love her hair and I have heard great things about her books.

Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl co-write "Beautiful Creatures."

I am looking forward to starting this series.

Susane Colasanti is super great. I am also excited to get to read her books!

            This is the first picture I actually took of all the books together. I am in awe of how many I got! This is my biggest book haul yet! I can't wait to have another one like this in the future.

            Here is the amazing and sweet Lauren Oliver. Her newest book is Vanishing Girls. She writes YA, Adult, and for young readers. What a great variety! She also writes the Delirium trilogy.

            This is Scott Westerfeld. He writes the Uglies series. I am almost finished with the first one and I am loving it!

            Kathy Reichs is the screenwriter for "Bones". It is a crime show and it is based off of her books. I got the first book in the series about Temperance Brennen. This was such a great opportunity to meet her!

               Stephanie Perkins is one of my favorite authors of all time! She wrote, "Anna and the French Kiss." Stephanie and Kiera are ladies that are beautiful inside and out. It feels surreal that I got to meet them. Both of those ladies write incredible books. They are sweet, and cute, funny, amazing and they are just great people! 

            I cannot wait for my next book convention! I got some great books! I love to share my love for books with other! I brought along with me a friend and my younger sister. Also with us was my Mom, my aunt Heather and my friends dad.! We all enjoyed this and I know that this was worth my money!

             So on this list of books that I got, I have only read about 2 of them. Since my summer break started yesterday I am going to enjoy my summer reading the books I got at the convention. Here's the list:

Readers Problem Tag

So I was tagged by Confessions of a Book Addict to do the Readers Problem tag. It seems pretty cool so let's do it!

 1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR. (To Be Read) How in the world do you decide what to read next?

I would talk to my reading buddies and see what all the bookstagramers are reading right now. If I found one that looked super good I'd probably pick it up and read it.

 2. You're halfway through a book and you're just not loving it. Do you quit or are you commited?

I guess it depends on the book. If I have to read something for school, then I definitely finish it!  If I don't have to read it for anything, then I would stop reading it. I am reading for fun and if I am not enjoying it, oh well!

 3. The end of the year is coming and you're so close, yet so far from you Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try and catch up and how?

Well I am not on Goodreads, so that's out. But if I set a goal for myself, then I'll try to make it by making more time to read.

 4. The covers of a series you love does not match. How do you cope?

Get a new one if I can afford it!!! If not, then I would wait till I could afford it.

 5. Everyone and their mother loves a book you really don't like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?

I would probably find a friend on Instagram that likes books as much as I do, who shares the same feelings as me, to bond with. A girl always needs someone to share these things with!

 6. You're reading a book and you're about to start crying in public. How do you deal?

Go ahead and cry!! I don't cry a lot.\, so I probably wouldnt have this problem, but if I did there is no shame crying in public.

 7. A sequal of a book you loved just came out, but you've forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book? Skip the sequal? Try to find a summary on goodreads? Cry in frustration?!

I would go back to the end of the prior novel and hope I can remember what happened. If I still can't remember what happened, then I'll go ahead and read the sequal. This book might remind me of what happened.

 8. You do not want anyone- ANYONE- borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope  when they ask?

I would tell them that I do not feel comfortable with them borrowing my books.There is a chance they might loose it and that is not okay with me.

 9. Reading ADD. You've picked up 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?

Read some contemporary YA romance. That's my favorite thing to read!!

 10. There are so many books coming out that you're dying to read! How many do you actually buy?

I would buy as many of them that I could afford. There is no such thing as too many books!!!

 11. After you've bought the new books you can't wait to get to. how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to read them?

They do not even make it on the shelf! I read them the first moment I can. That means the first night I get them!!! I'll probably stay up all night reading it too!

I tag anyone who wants to do this. Take each question and answer it yourself!!
