Hey!!! and I'M SORRY but lol, I haven't been able to catch up and type up blogs and stuff like that, so I'm telling you now, the books that I bought...since my last blog (starting with the oldest to most recent).
I already have done a blog for this one, and it was AMAZING as I have already said before, but I totally wanted to re-read it!
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel, and it keeps the Districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before. Survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity, and life against love.
Finished this one as well, and SO gonna do a review on it! Although this book was good, it wasn't AS GOOD as the previous ones.
Things have turned black at the House of Night.
- Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered.
With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast.
It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able to pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights.
As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her.
- But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampire High Council stipulates.
And then Zoey will give up for sure.
There are only 7 days left…

Stevie Rae wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own.
The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences.
Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good.
The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.
In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it).
She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not.
Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance.
Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned.

This was a fave of mine when I was in 6th grade :)...I just had bought it, and now I really have to re-read it, 'cause I forgot everything that happened!
Carmen got the jeans at a thrift shop. They didn’t look all that great; they were worn, dirty, and speckled with bleach. On the night before she and her friends part for the summer, Carmen decides to toss them. But Tibby says they’re great. She’d love to have them. Lena and Bridget also think they’re fabulous. Lena decides they should all try them on. Whoever they fit best will get them. Nobody knows why, but the pants fit everyone perfectly. Even Carmen (who never thinks she looks good in anything), thinks she looks good in the pants. Over a few bags of cheese puffs they decide to form a sisterhood, and take the vow of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants . . . the next morning, they say good-bye. And now the journey of the pants–and the most memorable summer of their lives–begins. Filled with real-life troubles, almost any adolescent can sympathize with the sisterhood's hardships that they face.
yup, We bought (my sis and I) got now the whole series of these books, and I still don't remember what really happens...I have short-term memory loss! I'll be like DORY from Finding Nemo!!! Dory's cool anyway :P
With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems, the Traveling Pants are back for one last, glorious summer. Lena: Immerses herself in her painting and an intoxicating summer fling, fearing that the moment she forgets about Kostos will be the moment she sees him again. Carmen: Falls under the spell of a sophisticated college friend for whom a theatrical role means everything and the heritage of the Pants means nothing. Bridget: Joins a dig for an ancient city on the coast of Turkey and discovers that her archaeology professor is available in every way except one. Tibby: Leaves behind someone she loves, wrongly believing he will stay where she has left him. Join Ann Brashares's beloved sisterhood once again in a dazzling, fearless novel. It's a summer that will forever change the lives of Lena, Carmen, Bee, and Tibby, here and now, past and future, together and apart.
This one was different, but still really good. I don't know if I'll continue the series until later though, cause I've just got too much stuff on my hands! (too much stuff = more books, EXAMS, moving to Singapore)
My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again.
All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary.
I don't even know what that means anymore.
It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost—and the ghost saw me.
Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone.
To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens.
Yet the home isn't what it seems.
Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye.
The question is, whose side are they on?
It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House . . . before its skeletons come back to haunt me.
The thing is how do I know who's on my side or who's betraying me?

YES!!! My Pal, Alex and I were waiting for this...but not for too long :P I saw this one @ Walmart for 30% IN HARDCOVER and I was like, I AM SOO GETTING THAT BOOK...and plus Alex would have killed me if I didn't. It was also really sad to find out that this was the LAST book of the Airhead series!!! anyway, review's coming soon!
Emerson Watts is on the run: from school, from work, from her family, from her friends, from herself. With everyone she loves furious with her for something she can't explain, and nothing but the live Stark Angel fashion show on New Year's Eve to look forward to, Em's reached the end of her rope. . .what's the point of even going on? But when she discovers the truth about Nikki's secret, she knows there's only one person she can turn to. Will Christopher be able to put aside his personal feelings and help her expose her employer to the world? Is it even fair to get Christopher involved--since if he agrees, there's every chance that Stark Enterprises will try to have them both killed--this time, permanently? Maybe it would be better for Em to just keep on running.
My AMAZING Friend Katie gave this to me as a Going-away gift (moving to Singapore) and when I first received it, like in the packet, all I could see was "Riordan" and then I take the book out quickly and start freaking out. This I'm starting to read, and it's amazing so far...I love how the chapter names are funny like they were in PJ and the Olymps!
Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them -- Set -- has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe -- a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.
Anyway, that's all for now, but I'll be back soon! (I hope..) next book blog will be Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins! I PROMISE!! and OHH!!! yeah, me and my fellow commenters, Hanaa and Alex, will be doing a list, kinda like Mia Thermopolis' List of Hot Guys with Commentary by Lily Moskivitch (I kno I spelt that wrong :P), except it's BOOK Character Guys!!! BYe for now, and ttyl8er!
