This week I am waiting on The Death Cure by James Dashner! This book is so good, my boyfriend who has not read a book EVER cant put this series down!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the 3rd book in the Maze Runner trilogy. It will come out October 11th 2011</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thomas knows that Wicked can't be trusted, but they say the time for lies is over, that they've collected all they can from the Trials and now must rely on the Gladers, with full memories restored, to help them with their ultimate mission. It's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test.<br />
What Wicked doesn't know is that something's happened that no Trial or Variable could have foreseen. Thomas has remembered far more than they think. And he knows that he can't believe a word of what Wicked says.<br />
The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than Thomas could ever imagine.<br />
Will anyone survive the Death Cure? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

As she tries to come to grips with the past, she considers a loveless marriage to ensure stability for her young family … with her faith in God hanging in the balance.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span>My Take</span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the second book in the Kauffman Amis Bakery Series. I just found out their is going to be a fourth book! Before I begine I have to tell you some words in this book is in Pennsylvania Dutch, the Amish language. (a German dialect) It has words like wife, twins, wonderful and good. Also, in all of the books they have recipes, for numerous desserts. This is also in the first book. You can learn things like how to make pound cake, coconut chews, apple ring fritters and funny cake pie. I thought that was interesting to add to a book. Alright, well this book takes the focus off of Rebecca and her neices. It focuses on Sarah Troyer a widow who is left alone to give birth to twins. During the story she finds out some very unsettling details about her dead husband Peter's past. When a stranger named Luke shows up to the little town of Bird-In-Hand her world is turned upside down and shes left questioning if she really knew her husband at all. I must say this is a love story! I found it a little annoying how many times the two people who are supposed to confess their love for eachother didnt! We only find out at the last few pages what happens between the two charectors. The whole book is filled with suspense and twists and turns that I dont want to give away because that would be a spoiler! You know this book is great because I was upset when it ended. I wanted to find out more about the charectors and their lifes after this book, Im interested to see how the next book plays out. The whole time i was reading this book, I was feeling so upset thinking about how its possible to lose your husband, give birth to twins, and find out troubling information about the person you thought you could trust with your life. This book definitly brings out emotions in you. Overall I would read this series! Mostly because its not about just one person. Its about a whole family's points of view. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Living with a con-man dad, she's spent half her life on the run. Whenever her father's schemes go wrong, Maya finds a scientific way to fix it. But when her dad ends up in prison and foster care fails, Maya grasps at her last possible hope of a home: a long-lost aunt, who may not even exist. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So Maya formulates a plan, and with her wits, two unlikely allies, and twenty dollars in her pocket, she sets off in search of this aunt, navigating the unpredictable four hundred miles from Reno to Boise. Life on the streets, though, becomes a struggle for survival—those scientific laws Maya has relied on her whole life just don't apply. And with each passing day, Maya's definitions of right and wrong are turned upside down when she's confronted with the realities and dangers of life as a runaway. She can't help but wonder if trying to find her aunt—and some semblance of stability—is worth the harrowing journey or if she should compromise and find a way to survive on her own</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. <em>World War Z</em> is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years. <br />
Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War. <br />

</div>But the weather-beaten sailboat Chance Taylor and his father call home is thirty years old and hasn’t sailed in years. One step from both homelessness and hunger, Chance worries about things other kids his age never give a thought: Where will the money come for the electricity bill, grocery bill, and moorage fees? So when a new job falls his way, he jumps at the opportunity. He knows how much he will earn; what he doesn’t know is how much he will pay.<br />

But the war comes to them. British soldiers and Iroquois attack. Samuel’s parents are taken away, prisoners. Samuel follows, hiding, moving silently, determined to find a way to rescue them.

She did. But there was a fortune at stake--a fortune that would assure their later happiness if she could keep the children a secret from her dying father. <br />
So she and her mother hid her darlings away in an unused attic. <br />
Just for a little while. <br />
But the brutal days swelled into agonizing years. Now Cathy, Chris, and the twins wait in their cramped and helpless world, stirred by adult dreams, adult desires, served a meager sustenance by an angry, superstitious grandmother who knows that the Devil works in dark and devious ways. Sometimes he sends children to do his work--children who--one by one--must be destroyed.... <br />

And grandmother was convinced they had the devil in them. <br />
But that wasn't their fault. Was it? Cathy knew what to do. <br />
She now had the powers she had learned from her beautiful mother. She knew it in the way her brother still yearned for her, in the way her guardian touched her, in the way all men looked at her. <br />
She knew it was time to put what she knew to the test. To show her mother and grandmother that the pain and terror of the attic could not be forgotten... Show them. <br />
Show them—once and for all</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. <br />
For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. <br />
For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. <br />
On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I don’t think of myself as a victim. I survived. <br />
A Stolen Life is my story—in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think I would write myself a part in those old western romances, like Linda Leal Miller or Norah Hess writes. It would be cool to go back to a different time, and fall in love with a cowboy =). Other then that, I think I would write myself a part in the book Wildwing, because the girl gets to time travel back in time to the days of kings.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419328181225834579.post-17434261613811484282011-08-17T15:12:00.001-04:002011-08-17T15:14:14.646-04:00Review: A Gift of Grace (Book 1 in the Kauffman Amish Bakery series) by Amy Clipston<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN2EGvWef5P39IqsFlzduGCtEDIPe0RmPH1plQdgzRQplHPuf7zCpcNa1cYmIqEJMOKcNZUe4DtxR01T09k3aHLxVfxY1ie2oHnNJBBgPUjftWQ2sUkUMlhNK4t5v08JyaBRtJoYzKNv0/s1600/A-Gift-of-Grace-A-Novel-Kauffman-Amish-Bakery-Series--me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN2EGvWef5P39IqsFlzduGCtEDIPe0RmPH1plQdgzRQplHPuf7zCpcNa1cYmIqEJMOKcNZUe4DtxR01T09k3aHLxVfxY1ie2oHnNJBBgPUjftWQ2sUkUMlhNK4t5v08JyaBRtJoYzKNv0/s400/A-Gift-of-Grace-A-Novel-Kauffman-Amish-Bakery-Series--me.jpg" width="260px" /></a><strong><u>Summary from GoodReads</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="freeText15777011274592514287">Rebecca Kauffmans tranquil Old Order Amish life is transformed when she suddenly has custody of her two teenage nieces after her "English" sister and brother-in-law are killed in an automobile accident. Instant motherhood, after years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child of her own, is both a joy and a heartache. Rebecca struggles to give the teenage girls the guidance they need as well as fulfill her duties to Daniel as an Amish wife.<br />
<br />
Rebellious Jessica is resistant to Amish ways and constantly in trouble with the community. Younger sister Lindsay is caught in the middle, and the strain between Rebecca and Daniel mounts as Jessicas rebellion escalates. Instead of the beautiful family life she dreamed of creating for her nieces, Rebecca feels as if her world is being torn apart by two different cultures, leaving her to question her place in the Amish community, her marriage, and her faith in God.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>My Review</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well his book is the first of a three part series. (their may be more to come.) about two teenage sisters Lindsay and Jessica who are torn from their English life to live with their Aunt who they have never met after an accident claims their parents life's. Rebbecca is very grateful to have the girls come and life with her and her husband Daniel. She believes it is Gods will. However Daniel wants the girls to leave after Jessica breaks many rules, and disrespects their culture. Lindsay learns to adjust well to her new life and is happy to make the best of a bad situation. Many other twists and turns happen but I don't want to spoil anything! I found this book very interesting. I love to read about different cultures. I could really sympathize with Jessica. I couldn't imagine having to move 14 hours away from my friends, boyfriend, and having to quit school. Not to mention giving up my ipod, phone, and whole lifestyle! I really enjoyed this book. their was just enough surprises to keep it interesting. I also liked how the book went from Rebbecca, Daniel, Lindsay and Jessica's point of view. That caused alot of suspense. I would recommend this book to anyone is interested in something new. I cant wait to read the second one!<br />
<br />

I am no longer participating in the 100 books challenge. I am up to 46 books so far and did not write reviews for any of them, so their is no way I can post my reviews for the challenge. However, I will be still participating in the Amish Reading Challenge. <br />

Hmm thats a really hard question. If I could put myself in any book series I think it would be...either the Little House on the Prairie series because I would love to relive that time as Laura once did. Or I would put myself in a really beautiful love story. I would do that because I would love to experience that.</div></span><div class="post-body entry-content"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419328181225834579.post-48245352805574629702011-03-22T19:00:00.001-04:002011-03-22T19:01:10.868-04:00Teaser Tuesday<div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">TEAser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/teaser-tuesdays-mar-22/#comments" style="color: #1a6462; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Should Be Reading</span></span></a></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">.

A mere sophomore, she has won the lead in <em>Romeo and Juliet</em>, beating out seniors for the role—seniors who have been in movies and on Broadway! And with handsome Logan as her Romeo onstage and off, her life couldn't be more perfect. <br />
So why would this talented teen throw everything away? Why would she fake her own abduction? Hope wants to explain what really happened, and gradually the truth comes out: Maybe her life wasn't that perfect after all. <br />
In her first novel for young adults, national bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard takes us into a world where appearance is everything, and nothing is exactly as it seems.<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><u><strong>My</strong></u> <strong><u>Take</u></strong> </div><div align="center">Well, I really didn't find this book enjoyable. It is basically about a spoiled girl named Hope who has everything, and throws it all away for love. for a good half of the book Hope goes on and on about how amazing her life is, and how she belittles others. Hope is an actress. She has everything. Smarts, Looks, and Talent. She throws it all away when she meets a boy named Logan Rose. Logan is an actress, and a few years older then Hope. She falls for him, and they both fake Hope's abduction. The book goes along to tell how this happens. However towards the end the book takes a drastic change and we find out something that is completely crazy (not spoiling!) The book is a fast passed read. I like how the book was written, I just don't like the story. But give it a try, id love to hear your opinions!</div><div align="center"><br />

The heroine, a teen who is forced to re-invent herself and reconstruct her life after she suffers a head injury that leaves her with a four-year memory loss, grapples with many issues teens will find familiar: romance, changing friendships, and a dysfunctional family. But this teen s amnesia gives her the perspective to see herself and others clearly for the very first time. At times funny and always thought provoking, this tale effectively touches upon themes of chance, loss, and choice, in a moving story readers won t soon forget.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">My Take</span></u></strong></span></div><div align="center">Imagine falling down a flight of stairs, and you cant remember the last four years of your life. And all your friends and boyfriend cant understand why you are acting so weird, That is what happens to Naomi Porter, Naomi lives with her dad. She came to her parents when they found her in an old type writer case. Naomi gets upset thinking that she is an orphan. Before her accident she was heavily involved in the yearbook committee at her school, along with her best friend Will Landsman. Naomi has a boyfriend named Ace Zuckerman. Will and Ace are nothing alike. Will is the nerdy type who likes to make music mixes for every occasion. Ace is they sporty popular type who does tennis. Naomi's home life is not so great. Naomi's parents are divorced after her mother had an affair with her high school boyfriend and now has a daughter named Chloe. Her father is a best selling author who writes about the Porters life's. He is getting re-married to a tango instructor named Rosa Rivera. Naomi resents her mother for abandoning them. During the story Naomi has to try and remember her life, and the people in it. The guy who found her when she fell is named James. James has a troubled past that somehow links him to Naomi. </div><div align="center">I found this book just alright. I wasn't sure what Naomi's character was supposed to be, the sporty popular girl that talks about people behind their back? or the nerdy girl who works on yearbook. It seemed like the author was trying to make her both. I also wasn't sure what the relationship between Will and Naomi was supposed to be at the end of the book. At times it seemed like it was heading toward a romantic relationship, then it would just say they are friends. I wasn't sure about all the characters. I just wasn't sure of their role. </div><div align="center"><br />

He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. <br />
<br />
Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A stunning debut, it marks John Green's arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>My Take</u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Well to start off this book is really hard to write a review for because it is really easy to give a major event away. In the beginning I was really confused because the first page told of an event that happens much later in the story. so I had no idea who any of the characters were, and it did not help that they used code names for everyone. So I was pretty confused when I was reading the names Pudge and Colonel. The only people that didn't get code names were Alaska young who is a KEY figure to this story, and their friends Lara and Takumi. The story is set up in the order of days. Half the book is things that happen before the tragedy, and the other half is after the tragedy. The gist of this story is that, the main character Miles Halter or later nicknamed Pudge goes to a school called Culver Creek in Alabama. This is the same school his dad went to when he was a boy. He originally lived with his parents in Florida. When he gets their he meets his roommate Chip but he likes to be called the Colonel. The Colonel is the one who nicknames Miles, Pudge. once Pudge gets situated into the school, he is introduced to a girl named Alaska Young. (I found it very interesting how she got her name but I don't want to ruin anything.) Alaska has a very sad past that she will never be able to forget. I found Alaska to be a very smart, yet troubled character. Once the book gets to the second part called After, a horrible tragedy happens. The tragedy leaves Pudge and the Colonel in tears. They must figure out what caused it to happen, How it was done, and why it was done. They do not know exactly how to go about this, and they are not sure if they will ever find the answers they are looking for. Other things happen in this book, however if I explained it would give alot away. I found this book to be OK. Their are other better young adult books out their. I liked this book, but something just wasn't hooking me in. I thought it was well written, but it left me a little Bord. It is a fast passed read. I think most will enjoy it. I have heard great things about it from others. I'm not sure what was missing for me though.</span><br />

With her family scattered or dead, and facing death herself in the Jewish ghetto, she takes the papers of a Polish girl and is sent to work in Germany. There she becomes a servant to Herr Reymann, a high-ranking Nazi official, and his family. Even though the Reymanns seem kind, and their daughter Charlotte treats Marisa like a sister, Marisa can never forget that they believe all Jews should die. With unflinching insight, Matas explores the dilemma of a girl who finds a human face in the heart of evil.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>My Take</u></strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Well this book was very short. and I really enjoyed it. I love books about world war 2 and the holocaust. I thought this one was different because it didn't tell of concentration camps. It told of a young Jewish girl named Maria who disguises herself as a polish girl and goes to work in a house in Germany. By doing this Maria is avoiding be sent to a concentration camp like all of the other Jews in her area. When Maria gets their, she finds out she is in the house of a Nazi. Maria must keep her true identity a secret or else she could be sent to her death. The Nazi family, the Reymanns treat Maria with respect and are very kind to her. For they do not know that she is truly a Jewish girl. The Reymanns daughter Charlotte and son Christian are completely anti-Jewish. While Marisa is living in the Reymann's home. She watches the children play a game called Jews out! and attend meetings that support Hitler and making the world "Jew Free" I can not believe the amount of courage that Maria has during the course of this book. At times she went through some pretty scary things such as bombings and almost loosing her little siblings. I am shocked that Marisa was able to stay in the house of the Nazi with all her fear. I felt that the title of this book completely describes the story. Its not like a normal Young Adult book title. Overall I really like this book and think everyone should go out and read it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This harrowing and vivid account proved to be the most compelling evidence against Jeffs, showing the harsh realities of this closed community and the lengths to which Jeffs went in order to control the sect's women. <br />
Now, in this courageous memoir, Elissa Wall tells the incredible and inspirational story of how she emerged from the confines of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) and helped bring one of America's most notorious criminals to justice. Offering a child's perspective on life in the FLDS, Wall discusses her tumultuous youth, explaining how her family's turbulent past intersected with her strong will and identified her as a girl who needed to be controlled through marriage. Detailing how Warren Jeffs's influence over the church twisted its already rigid beliefs in dangerous new directions, Wall portrays the inescapable mind-set and unrelenting pressure that forced her to wed despite her repeated protests that she was too young. <br />
Once she was married, Wall's childhood shattered as she was obligated to follow Jeffs's directives and submit to her husband in "mind, body, and soul." With little money and no knowledge of the outside world, she was trapped and forced to endure the pain and abuse of her loveless relationship, which eventually pushed her to spend nights sleeping in her truck rather than face the tormentor in her bed. <br />
Yet even in those bleak times, she retained a sliver of hope that one day she would find a way out, and one snowy night that came in the form of a rugged stranger named Lamont Barlow. Their chance encounter set in motion a friendship and eventual romance that gave her the strength she needed to break free from her past and sever the chains of the church. <br />
But though she was out of the FLDS, Wall would still have to face Jeffs—this time in court. In <em>Stolen Innocence</em>, she delves into the difficult months on the outside that led her to come forward against him, working with prosecutors on one of the biggest criminal cases in Utah's history, so that other girls still inside the church might be spared her cruel fate. <br />
More than a tale of survival and freedom, <em>Stolen Innocence</em> is the story of one heroic woman who stood up for what was right and reclaimed her life. <br />
<div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><strong><u>My Take</u></strong></div><div align="center">Well for one, I thought this book could have been written a little better. Especially because it came from her own life. I felt like i was reading a young adult non-fiction book. However I still really enjoyed the book. I honestly cant even imagine having to go through all of the trauma. that Elissa did at such a young age. Yes, this is a true story of Elissa Wall's life of growing up in polygamy and finally leaving and doing what is right to protect the other young girls still in polygamy. I felt that Elissa was very brave in doing what she had to do to bring the prophet Warren Jeffs to justice. I cant imagine how hard that trial must have been for her. I also felt bad for the members who strongly believe in the practice of polygamy. They had to watch their prophet (or leader) be put on trial and be accused of things they thought were perfectly fine. I find it interesting that when Elissa comes out of the FLDS she goes on to tell about the clothes and hairstyles that make her more "normal" things I have been doing all my life she is just starting. It shows us that their are many ways of living this life. Elissa's story at times, can bring you to tears. At one point in the story Elissa meets the man she is still with now. I feel if she did not meet him, she would of never had the courage to go up against Warren Jeffs and fight for what is right. I like how the book contains 8 pages of pictures of Elissa's life in polygamy and her life after she has left. I am really happy with the way this book turns out. I felt Elissa did what was right along with all the others who went up against Warren Jeffs. At times this book is shocking and unravels truths that are very interesting about the prophet. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a true story about a young girl growing up in polygamy.</div><div align="center"><br />
