Sorry Everyone

Hi everyone.  In my Coming Soon page, I had Antsy Floats coming out yesterday.  It turns out that it comes out in more than a year.  I think it has something to do with the author's mom having a stroke.  Sorry if I got you all excited for nothing.

Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix (Great)

Here's an interesting book.  I was about a second away from returning it to the library because I didn't think I would ever get around to even reading the first sentence.  Then, of course, I felt bad.  Next thing I know, it's 1 o'clock in the morning.  So, don't give it a bad rep. because of whatever. 

Anyway, here's the cover:

                       

 

I'm not a big fan of either of the covers, so I thought I'd show both.  Just so that you'd have options.  The left is self explanatory, but I'll point out that on the right, it says "Happily Never After..." under the title.  I think it changes the whole idea of the cover.

The book is about what happened to Cinderella (Cinders-Ella) after she goes to live with Prince Charming for her happily ever after. The castle is not what she was expecting, full of strict regulations, stiff people, and even the prince isn't as perfect as he had always seemed. Even, Jed, one of her teachers, is easier to talk to than Charming. Ella soon discovers, however, that escaping the castle will be more dangerous than first appears.

This is definitely a chick book, and I wouldn't recommend it to any guys.  But, any girl who is in the mood for a light, yet kind of fast-paced, read will not be disappointed. 

It's definitely something I would recommend.  And I hope you give it a shot.

As a side note: As I mentioned somewhere above, I got my book from the library, and I was about halfway through the book when I saw a bite mark on a page in my book. A human bite mark!  I thought it was worth mentioning, if only to make you wonder why. 

Anyways, I'll probably post mid next week instead of Friday since I'm so late with this post.  Who really knows when I'll finish my next book, so until then comment or whatever else you want to do.

Special thanks to everyone who has commented so far.  I really appreciate it.





Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer (Awesome)

Sorry I'm late.  I have trouble keeping track of days during the summer.  This is the last book in the Artemis Fowl series, the eighth, I believe.  It is an amazing series, so I suggest reading it.  Guys can read it, believe me.  Even if you don't think it is, based on the description, you are wrong.  I needed to go ahead and point that out.  So, go ahead and read the rest of the series.  I'll still be here when I get back.

Here's the cover:

The cover shows part of the ending, so *GIANT SPOILER ALERT*  Artemis is standing near the gateway.  The wall is there between him and Holly/ Butler.  The cover basically shows Artemis Fowl saying his last words. *SPOILER ALERT OFF*  It's an amazing cover that really wraps it up nicely.

Anyway, I'm going to assume that you read the previous books and all, so I can do the review.

 

 

Artemis has gone to his last therapy session to fix his Atlantis Complex. When he is leaving Haven, he finds that a ransom note has been received by the LEP. The younger Opal has been kidnapped and will be shot unless they release the older Opal. (skipping a part because of spoilers) Artemis, Holly, and Butler race to stop Opal from destroying the whole human race and ruling all the fairies.

 

 

I thought this was the perfect book to end the series. It was just so right in so many ways...

 

 

As always, the humor was perfect. (It had a couple really awesome quotes that I will add to the quotes page later, so check there within a week.)

 

 

And the ending... It's the first time that I've gotten within a football field of crying while reading in a long time. But, so epically perfect.

 

 

*Note for people who have already read it*

 

 

You might not of noticed this, but the thing that Holly said at the end. The thing about how it all began. That was the exact first sentence of the series. Personally, I think that makes an amazing ending, to have the first and last sentence to be the same. *Spoiler for Pendragon* The same thing happened at the end of the Pendragon series. *spoiler off*

*End of Note*

 

 

Once again, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

 

 

Oh, and I was just thinking about how in the beginning of the series, I didn't like any of the main characters. And now I think they're all the best. You start to care for the guys you don't like eventually.

 

 

Again, I'm sorry I'm late. I'll probably post again next week. See you then. In the meantime, comment, click on an add, read my posts, or whatever else you want to do.
