City of Bones is a very good book. If you like Twilight then you will enjoy City of Bones. I can’t wait to read the second and third book. It is that good.   Clary, Jace, & Simon are very loveable characters and the book is filled with action that will keep you rivited to the story and in great anticipation of the next saga. I never thought I would like a book about demons, shadowhunters, and downworlders, but it is a very good book and one I would recommend. It is flying off the shelf, so come in and reserve City of Bones.

I don’t have a link to the New Moon trailer but I am sure you can search the Internet for the link. I am anxious for the movie in November. Can’t wait.  Until next time, go read a good book. Mrs. J.

WELCOME BACK 

We have a lot of new books in the library this year for you to enjoy. We have current biographies, fiction, and non-fiction  and we will be getting more as the school year progresses.

I have read several great books over the summer and I hope you will come in to the library and check them out!!! I am presently reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare and I think you Twilight fans will enjoy this trilogy too. I will post my reviews on this one when I have completed the books. Below are some books I have read this summer and I will post reviews in the future.

Artichoke’s Heart by Suzanne Supplee

If there are any books you would like to recommend, please stop by and tell me your picks or write me on the blog.

Shelbi,

I agree with you about “The Host”. I loved it too.  I always love Stephenie Meyer’s characters in her stories. She makes them so loveable. I hated Ian at the beginning but by the end he was my FAVORITE character. I want you to read “The Declaration”. I thought it was a cool book too. It is about a longevity drug & how you can live forever or you can “opt out”. One of those that makes you think. Glad you wrote me & you need to write again.

I just read “The Break-up Bible” by Melissa Kantor. I thought it was a great read about a young high school girl who has her heart broken by her boyfriend when he says “we should just be friends”. Her loving grandmother buys her “The Break-Up Bible” in hopes of getting her out of her slump.  It is a light-hearted read and it will make you empathize with the main character . Come on in & check it out.

“The Host” is another good read by Stephenie Meyer’s, the now famous “Twilight” author. This book was difficult for me to get into but I really enjoyed the read. It is about an alien invading a woman’s body and yet not being able to control the human heart & spirit. It is a very good love story, something Stephenie Meyer’s seems to have mastered in her novels. It is her first adult novel but I think mature high school students will enjoy the read, especially if you like Sci-Fi.

Well after much anticipation, the movie “Twilight” will finally premiere tonight. I hope it is as good as the book, but I am a little skeptical. I am going on Friday night to see it and I am trying to be open-minded about the movie because I know it won’t follow the book as closely as I would like. I think Stephenie Meyer has created some very likeable/loveable characters and it is easy to see why there is so much hype surrounding the movie and the actors & actresses. However, I had my own vision of how the characters looked before the movie debut so I think I will stick with what is in my own imagination. I am really sad though that I am finished with the books. I truly enjoyed Bella, Edward, Jacob, & all the Cullen clan.
