From my pile of new books. . .

Ohmygosh! Sorry to act all teenager on you but omg! I just read possibly my new favorite book, even better than the Twilight Saga. Or maybe they're tied. Ha!


The book is called Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. For Christmas, i got a ton of books and I'm done with 2 of them. Grace, got attacked by a wolf pack when she was about 12 or 11 years old. The one wolf that saved her has been attached and always watching her for the next 6 years. When a boy at Grace's school gets attacked by the wolves and dies, everyone in their small town wants to hunt down the pack, except for Grace and one of her best friends, Olivia. Once one of the wolves get shot, Grace goes back to her house only to find a naked boy on her back porch with a gun wound. Grace then realises that it's her wolf, only now he's Sam. Realising that Sam may not be able to be human again once he turns back into a wolf, Grace and Sam try to fulfill their time together while they still have it. Sam changes when it's cold, and winter is just around the corner. Once i started reading Shiver, i literally couldn't put it down. I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning just to read the last few chapters.


My other book i received for the holidays, is a book called Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I have to say it wasn't as good as Shiver or a lot of my other favorite books, but it was a pleasurable read, still. I'm gonna get a little lazy and type up the description of the book on the cover. (I do not want to get in trouble so I'm saying this now: I DID NOT WRITE THIS!)


Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. with his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgement.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those who have fallen-and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.


See, when i read books, if i like them, i finish the book completely and sometimes go back to my favorite parts. If i don't like a book, i normally stop reading them because i forget i was still reading it. I finished Hush, Hush in one day. I finished Shiver in two days. I really liked both books and i would still recommend both to anyone that is interested. :) See you later. I have books to read!! :)
