Wicked Lovely

By melissa mar was interesting.
Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.
Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.
Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.
But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost—regardless of her plans or desires. Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom, her best friend, Seth, her life, everything.
This book was a good read. The beginning was kind of slow but it got better as you read along.

Eragon

Eragon by Christopher Paolini is a very good read. In the beginning, Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the spine, a mountain chain near his home. A few days later, Eragon discovers that his stone is really a dragon egg when it hatches suddenly in the night. Eragon names his dragon Saphira, a name he learns from Brom, the village storyteller. And the book is about his begginning adventures with Saphira and Brom.So far there are three books; Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr. I have read the first two and am working on the third one. Have you read any of the books? If so what do you think of them? And which one is you're favorite? And do you think that they are similar to the lord of the rings? What do you think?

The boy in the striped pajamas

I have recently read the boy in the striped pajamas by John Boyne and wonder what are your views of this book.Bruno is a nine-year-old boy growing up in Berlin during World War II. He lives in a five-storey house with servants, his mother and father and 12-year-old sister, Gretel. His father wears a fancy uniform and they have just been visited by a very important personage called the Fury, a pun which adult readers should have no trouble deciphering. As a consequence of this visit, Bruno's father gets a new uniform, his title changes to Commandment and, to Bruno's chagrin, they find themselves moving to a new home at a place called Out-With. Knowing that it is about the holocaust and very sad and depressing book I am supprised that I read it. I would suggest this book because it was a good read although i prefer not to read sad books. At the end of the book you dont see it coming at all. There is a movie out but it is only showing at certain movie theaters. If you have read the book what did you think of it? And how was the movie if you have seen it?
