Book Maniac

Two theatre-mad, self-invented fabulositon Ohio teenagers. One boy, one girl. One gay, one straight. One black, one white. And SUMMER DRAMA CAMP. It's a season of hormones, gold lame, hissy fits, jazz hands, song and dance, true love, and unitards that will determine their future --and test their friendship. So, in case you didn't know, We Were Liars by E Lockhart is one of the best books in the world. So when I see a book by the author of that magic in a charity shop... I buy it, obviously. That, in case you hadn't picked up, is how I found Dramarama! Being a fan of acting myself, it gave me some insight into the world of fame.  Although not half as good as We Were Liars (Not much is...), this book was pretty good, the characters are unique, as is the writing. My favourite bits were the bits on tape, they were funny... I loved the style of this, how light-hearted it could be, how much insight you could gain on her feeling without her

In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. Gone. Except for the young. There are teens, but not one single adult. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day. It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: On your 15th birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...   I read this on recommendation and it was pretty good. Not really my type of book, but still a good one. Good story, good writing. Unique and interesting with great characters. I'd definitely recommend this to YA sci-fi lovers. Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mort

I'm a big fantasy lover, and I can't help noticing when people tag things as # fantasy , and they are high fantasy . Obviously, it's still fantasy , so do tag that. But tag #highfantasy as well. And one more thing, high fantasy is a sub-genre of regular fantasy . It's still fantasy, guys. Sooooo... I'm going to start by giving an example of regular fantasy ; Twilight. Though more of a romance, Twilight is indeed fantasy . I mean, vampires don't really exist. Another example is The Mortal Instruments. They are amazing and have a lot more fantasy aspects than Twilight, but they aren't high fantasy. Neither is Harry Potter, Percy Jackson or Hush Hush. A few key points of fantasy, though not always true, fantasy often has; Set in this world, but is hidden from normal people Has species such as wizards, vampires, werewolves and shapeshifters Has an ordinary person (or are they) finding out about this world behind the normal one High fantasy is n

The last book in the amazing Throne of Glass series comes out this October! The cover and title, however, have still not been released! Gah, the wait is AWFUL!!!

I just want to give this amazing book five stars and not talk about it OK? *sniffs* The third - and probably final - book featuring beautiful and unique Louisa Clark. In this one she's off to New York to a well paid job as a companion to a troubled woman. But Agnes is hiding many things. And will Lou be able to survive the separation from her boyfriend Sam? And now there's a new card on the table, and it comes in the form of a man who looks just like another man she once loved. I re-read this book recently! It's just as good as I remember. It's easy to read which is good as most of the books I read are a little harder to understand. It's not too long and I managed to read it in a couple days. Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl. A great book and must read for fans of contemporary fiction. I think a really good part of this book is you get to see so many different lives. So
