Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
I'm doing a scientific research study for a paper for my writing class in college, and I would love for any responses considering the topic of reading and dreaming. I am interested in learning about people's reading habits and looking into the various types of dreams that the individual is experiencing. I am curious if there is a correlation between reading and dreaming, so I need your help!

I really do miss the whole blogosphere and following up on the latest bookish updates. These past few weeks have been so nice to finally be able to have the energy and desire to read for fun again. I never thought this would happen to me, but I am officially addicted to reading on my Kindle Fire and Android using the Kindle app, instead of reading physical books. I, for some reason, just do not really like reading hard copy books anymore, since eBooks are just so much more convenient for me. I still love to collect books and that definitely will never change.<br />
<br />
A few months ago, I was super lucky to win a Kindle Fire HD from Amazon Student! I had one of the original Kindles from a couple years back, so I was pretty excited to be given the opportunity to upgrade. I have fallen in love with my Kindle Fire and love how my Fire and Android sync with one another, so I can flawlessly go back and forth between both devices. I definitely recommend giving eBooks a chance if you haven't already made the change.<br />
<br />
Besides the Kindle, everything has been going pretty well with school and classes<span style="background-color: #fcf9e9; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">—</span>I'm still in love and happy with my writing major! This past year I had some unique opportunities that made me want to pursue a career in editing even more. I was in a literary publishing class that put out our school's literary magazine, in which I helped co-edit and even had a <a href="http://www.yorkreview.org/2013/02/03/ycp-snow/">picture of mine</a> published in it! Most recently, last semester I started working at my school's I.T. department doing editing and writing for their online technology articles. It has definitely been an interesting experience. I hope to find an internship within the next year that will help me secure that perfect job for me.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, I will continue on this roll of reading a lot and will have time<span style="background-color: #fcf9e9; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">—</span>I'm currently working 46 hrs a week<span style="background-color: #fcf9e9; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">—</span>to write reviews for some of the great books I have been reading lately. Hopefully everyone is reading some great books, and if you have any recommendations, be sure to leave a comment! Thanks for sticking around :)<br />

causes too many problems in our society—jealousy, anger, destruction. One must
be cured of this “deadly disease.” The government dictates and controls every
citizen. Once a young adult turns eighteen years old, you are mandated to be “fixed”
to erase the feelings of love within you. At this point, you no longer have a
choice in your life once you undergo the surgery. After your evaluation, you
are matched with a mate and given an appropriate career that will suit you
best. Your entire life is planned out for you. You do not have a voice in your
future. New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver paints a unique,
dystopian tale of a young girl, rebelling against the norms of society, for
true love with an outsider from the Wild.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br />
“They say that the cure for love will make me happy and safe forever. And I’ve
always believed them. Until now. Now everything has changed. Now, I’d rather be
infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years
suffocated by a lie.”</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Lauren Oliver, born and raised in New York, grew up with two
literature professors as parents. Persuaded to be creative early in the arts,
she began to develop her love for writing to expand upon her love of reading. Beginning
her journey by creating sequels for the books she loved, Oliver delved further into
writing by creating her own stories. She began working at Razorbill, a Young
Adult division of Penguin books, where she began to write her own story. Soon
after, she decided to leave Razorbill to become a full-time writer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Going into<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Delirium</i>,
I had high expectations from previously reading Oliver's debut novel <i>Before I Fall</i>, also a New York Times
bestseller.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Delirium</i>,
however, exceeded my expectations with an intriguing, unique dystopian story
with lovable characters and a gripping storyline. The concept seemed hard to grasp
at first, since I could not possibly imagine our society without love within
it, but the intrigue made the book that more interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The beginning begins off slowly, making it difficult to connect
with the story and relate to the characters. However, the plot quickens after
the first few chapters and leaves you longing to know what will happen next. I
was entirely engrossed, after getting though the slow beginning. I physically
could not put the book down at one point and continued reading until I reached
the heart-pumping, unexpected ending. If you find yourself a little confused
and bored at the beginning, my advice is to push through and continue reading;
because once you do, you will not want to stop. Oliver develops the backstory
of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Delirium</i> by beginning
each chapter with little snippets from their law, history, and handbooks as
well as quotes and poems of the society’s culture. The first chapter begins
with one from their law book, “<i>The most dangerous sicknesses are those that
make us believe we are well</i>. – Proverb 42,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>The Book of Shhh</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Set in a futuristic Portland, Maine, Lena Holloway considers
herself to be an average girl, no one special. About to turn eighteen and
graduate high school, she cannot wait to undergo the surgery to remove her disease
of love, amor deliria nervosa, which the government believes to be the source
of society’s past problems. Her mother’s death occurred because of the failure
of love. Wanting to be like her cured older sister, Lena wants the surgery as soon
as possible. She longs to be “normal” like the rest of society and to rid
herself of the grief and pain she has felt her whole life. Her schooling and
The Book of Shhh have taught her of the symptoms of catching the deliria of
love. She does not know any better but to accept the preaching of the
government. Anyone not cured of the disease is considered to be a rebel. The
Invalids live in the Wild, a restricted area lying outside of Lena’s perfectly
controlled world. Traveling to the outside is strictly prohibited; a guarded,
electric fence prevents this from happening—but not always…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no
bigger or longer than an edge. That's what it is: an edge; a razor. It draws up
through the center of your life, cutting everything in two. Before and after.
The rest of the world falls away on either side.”</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Lena has never conversed with a boy, let alone touch one. Her
society does not allow the two genders to interact or be in the presence of one
another until they are cured. However, when Lena meets an older boy from the
Wild, she begins to question everything she once thought she wanted: a set
future with a suitable husband and a stable career, handpicked for her by the
government. Lena’s best friend always rebels by sneaking out to listen to
prohibited music and hang out with boys. Lena disapproves… until she meets
Alex. The unimaginable occurs as she begins to fall in love with the boy from
the Wild.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Starting to break the rules, Lena secretly meets Alex at night.
She begins to fall deeply for the boy who is pretending to be cured. Alex reveals
his past to Lena and of the possible future for her if she decides to escape
and refuse the cure. She begins to imagine her life in a new light. Having nothing
to lose, she makes the brave decision to leave her society for the Wild with an
Invalid. Coming up with a plan, they decide they will escape to live in the
Wild together. Lena has never felt so sure about anything in her life and
cannot stop the spread of love that has infected her heart and soul. Their
plan, however, does not go as intended. Caught and forced to stay in her house
a week before her operation, Lena starts to lose all hope. Alex comes one night
to rescue her. They make their escape for the Wild, but all does not go as
planned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“I run for I don't know how long. Hours, maybe,
or days. Alex told me to run. So I run. You have to understand. I am no one
special. I am just a single girl. I am five feet two inches tall and I am
in-between in every way. But I have a secret… I love you. Remember. They cannot
take it.”</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The mix of romance, action, drama, and mystery allow you to fall
in love with the story of</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Delirium</i><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">, but unfortunately, it allows</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> the ending to
be so powerful that it is almost too sad to endure. If you get as attached to
the characters as I did, you will have tears in your eyes as you finish. The
cliffhanger continues in the second book of Oliver’s trilogy, </span><i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Pandemonium</i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">. Overall,</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Delirium</i><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">was everything I hoped for and more.
From the unexpected twists to the intriguing characters to the spell-binding
story, you will not be disappointed. The intended audience is for young adults
but can be enjoyed by all ages. I absolutely recommend picking up a copy and
diving right in if you love a dystopian story or just enjoy an enticing read
with an original storyline.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I wrote my novel THE EARTHQUAKE MACHINE so that women and girls could experience an incredible adventure through the main character RHONDA, who swims across the Rio Grande River to Mexico and transforms herself into a Mexican boy named ANGEL by cutting and dying her hair. She then sets off across Mexico to find her one true friend. By “passing” as a Mexican boy, RHONDA blends in with her new and exotic surroundings and doesn’t have to be scared.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I think as women and girls we often long for amazing adventures ourselves, but sometimes we don’t have them because we’re afraid. We’ve been told that we have to “stay safe” and avoid situations where we might be in danger. The world remains a large and often violent place. And sometimes just being a woman makes us more visible and more vulnerable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Even though THE EARTHQUAKE MACHINE is a wild, fantastical tale and not at all realistic, I still believe firmly that real life women and girls can push ourselves (and encourage each other) to have adventures as wonderful and amazing as the one RHONDA/ANGEL has. And we can all make a start by reading books that show us strong girls taking risks.</span></div>

On the outside, everything looks perfect in Rhonda’s world, but at home Rhonda has to deal with a manipulative father who keeps her mentally ill mother hooked on pharmaceuticals. The only reliable person in Rhonda’s life is her family’s Mexican yardman, Jesús. But when the INS deports Jesús back to his home state of Oaxaca, Rhonda is left alone with her increasingly painful family situation.</span></div>

She swims to the Mexican side of the Rio Grande and makes her way to the border town of Milagros, Mexico. There a peyote- addled bartender convinces her she won’t be safe traveling alone into the country’s interior. So with the bartender’s help, Rhonda cuts her hair and assumes the identity of a Mexican boy named Angel. She then sets off on a burro across the desert to look for Jesús. Thus begins a wild adventure that fulfills the longing of readers eager for a brave and brazen female protagonist.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I live in Houston, Texas, a climate that is usually warm, so I’m already thinking about and looking forward to spring. The ancient Celts like most people loved spring. The ancient Celtic festival Imbolc, which takes place next month, February 1<sup>st</sup>, ushered in spring. When I think of spring, I often think of Daffodils. Not only are yellow daffodils the essence of spring but they also hold a place of sacred honor to the Welsh. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The day he died, March 1, 589 A. D., is celebrated each year in Wales as St. David’s day. At the battle of Heathfield in 633 AD, which took place in a field of leeks, St. David told the Welsh warriors to wear a leek on their helmet so they could tell them apart from the Saxons they were fighting. Legend has it that the <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">wild daffodils open their buds on March 1st to remind people of Saint David</span></strong><strong>.</strong> Also Welsh soldiers wear a leek or daffodil in their caps each year on St. David's Day. Daffodils are often worn in place of leeks in hats and buttonholes, because they’re prettier and smell much sweeter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Even warriors, both present and past, loved daffodils. The 8<sup>th</sup> century Welsh Warrior King, Elisedd, has a pillar, a standing cross his grandson erected to honor his deeds in battle, which still stands in Powys near Eglwyseg Mountain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In my new young adult novel, <u>The Prince of Powys,</u> King Elisedd picked daffodils at the hill fort of Dynas Bran and discovered the magic within them as he said, “Men like your sire and I are warrior kings. We have no time for pretty words and daffodils. We must look after our land and our people." As the stern-faced king spoke those words, he twirled a daffodil in hand. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Branda covered her trembling lips to keep from laughing. She gathered a bouquet of the yellow flowers and handed them to the king.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Scary Path to a Book Deal<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p>By Derek Taylor Kent (AKA Derek the Ghost)</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My name is Derek Taylor Kent (AKA Derek the Ghost). I recently received a three-book deal for my YA horror-comedy series <i>Scary School</i>, which came out June 21, 2011 (scaryschool.com). How this came to be is a bit of a horror-comedy itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">March 1994. At the age of 15, I undertake writing an epic illustrated fantasy series. It’s an ill-conceived cross between Dr. Seuss and Lord of the Rings, but I spend six long years trying to get it published. Nothing ever comes of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">April 2005. Painfully abandoning the illustrated book series and inspired by Harry Potter, I spend a year writing my first novel: <i>Scary School, Book 1: My Homework Ate my Dog</i>. After completing the first draft, I submit it to a few agents and publishers. All rejections. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Confused, I gave the manuscript to readers. I receive notes that suggest a heavy rewrite. Reluctantly, I spend months doing exhaustive rewrites, but I had to admit the book was greatly improved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Early 2007. I feel the book is ready to submit once again. But I had a relentless day job and my spare time was filled with other projects. <i>My Homework Ate My Dog</i> goes on the backburner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another year passes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">July 2008. There’s a brief window of time off from my day job. I decide that it’s time to go full-out toward finding an agent or a publisher. If it doesn’t happen, it will probably be the end of my YA writing aspirations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The task before me is daunting. I have the Guide to Literary Agents and the Children’s Marketplace books. It would take me a year to reach out to every agent and publisher, and I only have a window of a couple weeks. So, I hire an assistant. His job is to send out packages to every single YA lit agent in America. I spend my time focusing on online querying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Responses start coming in. I’m getting bites. About one in every ten I sent out is asking to read my manuscript or sample chapters. Most are rejections, but if you have a 10% positive response rate to your query, you know that you probably have something good. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">August 2008. Eric Myers from the Joe Spieler Agency requests sample chapters. A week later he requests the complete manuscript. On September 20, 2008, Eric Myers is my agent. He is very enthusiastic and has a great track record.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">December 2008. Every publisher my agent has submitted to has passed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The only glimmer of hope is from a junior editor at HarperCollins who says that she “really likes my writing and the humor of the book, but what I was expecting from a book called <i>Scary School: My Homework Ate My Dog </i>was not what I got. I was hoping for a light, funny book about a Scary School for a young audience.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">She was exactly right. My title was screaming: silly/funny book for 8-year-olds, but I had given her a darker Harry Potter fit for 12-year-olds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The editor concluded with: “I do feel there is a market for a <i>Scary School</i> book series for a younger audience should he feel inclined to write it.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There it was. A bite from a publisher. The only problem was my “bite” felt like an orca whale. I’d have to write a whole new book for her, and I’d have to write it fast so she didn’t forget about me or buy another book in the same genre. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I sequester myself and complete the first draft of a new book series, just called <i>Scary School. </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The first draft is done by January 2009. I send it to my agent. He’s a little shocked that it’s not a linear story like <i>My Homework Ate my Dog, </i>but we agree to send it to HarperCollins as is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">March 2009. The junior editor writes back: “This is exactly what I was hoping for. I love it! I think we really have something here!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A few weeks later HarperCollins offers me a three-book deal for <i>Scary School.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I dance around my apartment and weep with joy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The advance is not enough to quit my day job, but it’s enough to create a website, hire a publicist, and print thousands of Scary School T-shirts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As I write this, I am exactly one week away from the <i>Scary School</i> release date on June 21, 2011. I had to wait another two years before it was scheduled for release. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was agony.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Over that time I have self-published what is now called <i>Rudy and the Beast: My Homework Ate My Dog! </i>There’s still an issue with the title, but I won’t surrender it. I also self-published an illustrated book called <i>Simon and the Solar System. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This year, I finished a new YA novel called <i>Principal Mikey </i>about a kid who becomes principal of his school. I think it’s my most well-written novel and is absolutely hilarious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house – parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (</span><em style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">definitely, maybe, probably</em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">) shouldn't have.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Ten Things We Did</i> definitely proved to be more than just your average silly story of a high school girl, who is both party and boy crazy, and told the story of a girl struggling to get over her parents' divorce and just through life in general. The story tells the tale of all the various crazy things April did after her father lets her move in with her best friend, instead of moving far away from her hometown boyfriend, friends, and school. I loved how the author set up the story by intertwining the past events with the current events to show the reader what had happened in the past while maintaining the story in the present.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I saw that the Kindle book was only 99 cents, I knew I could not resist buying it, and I'm so glad I did! I started reading it on my phone one night before going to bed and just couldn't stop reading. I ended up reading until 4 in the morning, it was just that hard to put down. I just wanted to keep reading and reading because the story was too funny and irresistible to stop. I finished it the next day and wished it hadn't ended. The ending ultimately surprised me, but overall, I liked it a lot. The last paragraph of the book was definitely the perfect, also ironic, way to end the story.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As a whole, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have)</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i> </i>had the works</span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">—</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">funny, interesting characters, and a back-story with depth and not just your average story-line. It definitely would make for a great summer read or a quick, fun book to read in your free time. I do recommend! This was my second book I've read by Mlynowski, and it certainly will not be my last. I look forward to reading more by her, and hopefully, those will be just as good.</span><br />

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyways I feel bad having all of these ARCs that I have either read, don't want to read, or know I will never read just sitting in my room soooo I will be sending a lucky winner a box full of ARCs (12 Total)! I want to send it before I go back to school so the contest will end MONDAY January 16th, 2012. I move back into my dorm the 17th so this will give me a day to bundle it all up and send it before I go back!</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Such a Pretty Girl</i> surprised me in many ways</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;"><b>—</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">altogether it was a powerful story about a teenager who is just trying to live and survive in a world with the father, who sexually abused and harassed her, once he is let out of prison six years earlier than she expected. It definitely surprised me by how much I was disturbed and disgusted by the little acts of unwanted affection Meredith's father displayed towards his daughter. I could never imagine being in that type of situation, which is one reason I love literature because it transports you to a world where you can experience the emotions of the characters you read about, without having to live them for yourself. I, however, would never wish this upon anyone to go through her type of situation, and I feel so sorry for those who have experienced this situation firsthand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The story can easily be read in one sitting, which I tried to do, but it was hard to do so when the father just kept creeping me out so much. It is a very short book with very few characters and hardly any external plot going on but does have a lot backstory and underlying details that make the story very good but hard to enjoy because of the tough topic. Meredith was a strong female character who stood up for herself and had the support of her neighbors to do so, which without the love and support from them, she might not have ever been able to get out and most likely would have been abused again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Such a Pretty Girl </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">turned out to be a novel that wasn't exactly fun or pleasant to read, but one where it tells an important tale of a strong girl who would not stand to be mistreated or abused again by her father or mother. This is the second book I have read by Laura Weiss, and I look forward to reading more of her books! Especially <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9758768-ordinary-beauty">Ordinary Beauty</a> </i>which came out this past summer.</span><br />

What if you didn't know who you were?<br />
<br />
And what if, when your memories started to come back--what if they didn't match the you that you're supposed to be?<br />
<br />
Ava is welcomed home from the hospital by a doting mother, lively friends, and a crush finally beginning to show interest. There's only one problem: Ava can't remember any of them--and can't shake the eerie feeling that she's not who they say she is.<br />
<br />
Ava struggles to break through her amnesiac haze as she goes through the motions of high-school life, but the memories that surface take place in a very different world, where Ava and familiar-faced friends are under constant scrutiny and no one can be trusted. Ava doesn't know what to make of these visions, or of the boy who is at the center of them all, until he reappears </span></span><br />

Without further ado my interview with Brian:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

One day I thought it'd be interesting to write a story about someone who mysteriously starts aging a whole year of his or her life with each passing day. When I decided to make the character a 17-year-old high school senior, everything just kind of clicked. And I simply had to write the story. </span></div></div><div class="im" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div style="color: #500050; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I never worked with a basketball coach, I never got to know my high school librarian, my dad is the polar opposite of Cameron's egotistical father Stephen. Even Cameron's not really based on anyone I knew in high school. The character most based on someone is probably Wesley, who's sort of based on… who </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">else... me! </span></div></div><div class="im" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div style="color: #500050; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I didn't originally plan Happy Birthday to Me as a trilogy, but in the last few months I started thinking about what Cameron would be facing in his future, and suddenly the ideas for Parts II and III became instantly clear. There will still be lots of comedy and romance in Part II, but Part III is going to take the story in an entirely new direction, one that is truly epic! I'm writing Part II right now and I plan on having both books out by the end of 2011! </span></div></div><div class="im" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div style="color: #500050; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

When I finally decided to self-publish Happy Birthday to Me in April, I had no idea the amount of work, both in preparing the book for publication, and in promoting the book through the blogosphere, would entail. But you know what? I love Happy Birthday to Me and believe in this project so much, I'll do just about anything if it means another ten people will pick it up and read it. </span></div></div><div class="im" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div style="color: #500050; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Growing up my favorite thing in the world to do was read, and I would pour through anything I could get my hands on. I also started writing short stories in the third grade and just went berserk with writing for the next few years. My fifth grade teacher Mrs. Frodahl gave class assignments throughout the year to write short stories, and she always loved what I had to present. At the end of that year, she pulled me aside, and said, "One day Brian I want to see your name on a published novel… Don't let me down." Fifteen years later, I've published Happy Birthday to Me, and I dedicated the book to Mrs. Frodahl. </span></div></div><div class="im" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div style="color: #500050; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

My sophomore year English teacher Mrs. Utter offered our class the chance to pick from a few books, and I went with Robert McCammon's 1991 novel Boy's Life. It's a book that changed my life, and it's still my favorite novel I've read eleven years later. The book has everything… A central mystery, memorable characters, coming-of-age, horror, romance, drama… Everything. I recommend it to everyone!</span></div></div><div class="im" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div style="color: #500050; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

My motivation comes from my desire to tell stories, all kinds of stories, and particularly to create living, breathing characters. By the time I finish Part III of the Happy Birthday to Me trilogy, Cameron and Kimber and Liesel and Wesley are going to feel so real to me it's going to be hard to let them go. I love writing fiction and honestly can't imagine a time in my future when I won't be telling stories.</span></div></div><div class="im" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div style="color: #500050; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
High school is hard enough; imagine rapidly aging from seventeen to seventy in a matter of weeks, with no logical explanation, and with prom, graduation, and the state championship basketball game all on the horizon. That’s what happens to Cameron, a popular pretty boy who's never had to face a day looking anything but perfect.<br />
<br />
All Cameron wants to do is go back to normal, but no one, not even the best doctors, can diagnose his condition. When he finds love with a mysterious young woman, however, he realizes his only hope for survival might be with the one person who started his condition in the first place...</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br />

When I first read the summary after the author Brian Rowe emailed me asking to read and review his new book, I was enticed and knew I had to accept his request and start reading it right away. First off, I like the cover a lot and think it is perfect for the story. When I started reading the story, it instantly drew me in, and I read the book quickly in two sittings. The paranormal and romance aspects were combined perfectly and made for an intriguing, thought-provoking novel. On a side note, the author did a very good job of not having grammatical errors like some other self-published books I've read, so I was very happy with that!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I went in expecting to not like the main character Cameron but even from the start, I actually didn't think he was actually that bad of a person. He was stuck up and conceited yes but not as bad as he could have been as the popular, star basketball player. His girlfriend irritated me the most because she was just so dumb and annoying, so I was very happy when Cameron widened his horizon and went for the right girl at the end. The plot reminded me a little of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> but was very different because for Cameron he ages a year of his life with each passing day. I couldn't imagine experiencing what Cameron went through, but for him it was good since the experience changed his life for the better. Throughout the story I experienced a range of emotions from laughing, sad, excited, annoyed, happy, and finally satisfied with the ending!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Happy Birthday to Me </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">was an eye-opener to how much importance and meaning there is in every passing day and was also a fantastic, fast read. I definitely recommend clicking the link below and buying a copy for your Kindle because you can not beat $0.99 for a great read! I'm really looking forward to reading the next two books in the trilogy hopefully very soon.</span><br />

Invisible. Until the accident.<br />
<br />
Now Tess is in a coma, and Abby’s life is on hold. It may have been hard living with Tess, but it's nothing compared to living without her.<br />
<br />
She's got a plan to bring Tess back though, involving the gorgeous and mysterious Eli, but then Abby learns something about Tess, something that was always there, but that she’d never seen.<br />
<br />
Abby is about to find out that truth isn't always what you think it is, and that life holds more than she ever thought it could...</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I was ecstatic to open my mail and unexpectedly found that I received her new book! I automatically moved it up to the first book in my reading queue and immediately dove right into the story. First off after reading the summary and looking at the absolutely gorgeous cover, I had high hopes that this one would be one of my favorites by her. And I was right! It was a relatively short, quick read, but the beautiful, intriguing writing and story had me hooked till the powerful end.</span><br />

I read </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Bloom</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> over two years ago, so I don't remember much of the story. I am still baffled about which characters from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Bloom</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> were in this one! My advice to you would to read </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Bloom</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> first, so you wouldn't be as confused as I was and still am.</span><br />

Abby visits her sister every day at the hospital mostly because she feels compelled to help and talk to her in order for her to wake up because her life has been on hold since the accident. Abby at times really irritated me because she didn't think much of herself even though she is a strong, smart, and level headed female. She thinks no one could ever love her with her beautiful sister there instead and fails to realize a certain male right in front of her. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I adored reading about Eli the most because he was a delight compared to the gloomy past and present in Abby's life. There were many unexpected revelations about Tess's life that comes to light which I was very surprised to learn. The romance and drama combined were perfect and made for a very good read!</span></span><br />

But when he falls for the wrong girl, Luis enters a dark world he's never known, and just when he thinks he's got life all figured out, learns some disturbing news about his family that destroys his positive outlook on life.

They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. </span><br />

<span class="apple-style-span">But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, </span><st1:place><span class="apple-style-span">Lena</span></st1:place><span class="apple-style-span"> does the unthinkable: She falls in love.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

The concept was so crazy to read about at first since I couldn't possibly imagine our society without love within it, which definitely made the book highly enjoyable and interesting to read.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I've come to love reading books in the dystopian genre, and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Delirium </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">was one of the most original ones that I've ever read.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The beginning started off a little slow which made it a little hard for me to get into the story and relate to the characters. By the middle however, I was entirely engrossed and could not put the book down until I finished the heart-pumping, unexpected ending. My advice to you if you find yourself confused and bored at the beginning (like I was) is to continue reading because it gets a lot better and you will not regret finishing it. I also really enjoyed how much Lauren Oliver developed the back story like with the snippets from their law book in the beginning of each chapter.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The story starts off set in a time period where love aka amor deliria nervosa is considered a disease which is outlawed and surgically removed after you turn 18 years old. We meet the main character who is a senior about to turn graduate, turn 18, and undergo the surgery to rid her of the "disease" of love. Lena has never conversed with a boy, let alone touch one since the society doesn't allow the two genders to be around each other until they are fixed of the disease. When she meets an older boy from the Wild, her life totally turns around and changes everything she once wanted: a set future with a husband handpicked for her with a stable career that suits her. All throughout, I really enjoyed reading all about Lena and the insane society she lives in. The romance in the story was very easy to fall in love with which made the ending so powerful and sad, to the point where I had tears in my eyes when I finished.</span><br />

I absolutely recommend picking up a copy immediately if you love dystopian reads and if you don't, I recommend it anyway because it's just that good!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I'm really looking forward to reading the sequel<i> Pandemonium </i>which will be coming out next year in 2012. The ending left off on such a cliffhanger, I am dying to know what happens next!</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><br />

Her grandmother has other plans: she approves of the college, but she wants Erin to major in business and then come back home to Kentucky to run the family’s famous racehorse farm. There is no way Erin will agree. Studying in New York and writing her way into a career is her escape from the farm and the family tragedy that happened there. So Erin’s grandmother decides Erin really will live life as a starving artist. She takes Erin’s future job running the farm, her inheritance, even her college tuition, and gives them all to Hunter Allen.<br />
<br />
Hunter has lived on the farm for years. He’s Erin’s age, he’s the stable boy, and he’s the romantic dream of every girl in her high school. But he was involved in the family tragedy. Erin has always given him a wide berth. And he’s a slick opportunist. She’s furious that he fooled her grandmother into giving him Erin’s birthright and sending him to Erin’s college.<br />
<br />
At least she’s free of him in her creative writing class. So she pens a story that has haunted her lately, in which the horse farm heiress at the very first Kentucky Derby starts a forbidden affair with the lowly stable boy. Unfortunately for her, the day she’s sharing this story with her New York classmates, Hunter walks in. He’s switching to her class. And after reading about himself in Erin’s story, he writes his own sexy assignments that lure Erin into dangerous fantasies about what could have been between them, and what might be.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Summary from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kiss-Erin-Downing/dp/1416997008/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282862010&sr=1-1">Amazon</a>:</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When Alex falls for the charming new boy at school, Cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her -- she can't believe she's finally found her soul mate . . . someone who truly loves and understands her.<br />
<br />
At first, Alex is blissfully happy. Sure, Cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend Zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? As the months pass, though, Alex can no longer ignore Cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats.<br />
<br />
As Alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Review:</b><i> </i><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whoa, Bitter End was such an emotional, raw story that had my attention until the very dramatic end. I could very easily relate to the main character Alex, and it certainly made me realize how easy it is to be taken advantage of and mistreated by a boyfriend. If I would ever be in a situation like Alex's, I feel like I would most likely be able to handle myself better in that situation right from the beginning. I hope to never have to experience the hardships Alex went through (abusive/manipulative boyfriend, dead mother, and a father who's too depressed to care). I felt her character was a very well developed and was a strong female lead with some minor flaws that made her even more interesting to read about. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Despite the dour setting and topic, the novel was still very enjoyable to read about. At times, it was a little hard since the violent actions of Alex's boyfriend were so astonishing violent and mean. Her boyfriend seemed nice and perfect at first, but when he snaps and changes, the novel instantly changes from happy and fun to scary and angry. I would definitely recommend that all teenage girls read this novel since this situation can happen to the best of us. I'm really looking forward to reading Jennifer Brown's first book since this one was so impactful and great. This May 10th, I would absolutely recommend picking up a copy when it comes out!</span><br />
