What Not to Love: Standalones!

Okay, I know there is another word for that. I think it starts with 'm'. Anyways it's still called a standalone too. You know, those books that never have the sequel you were praying for? Yeah those, well these are our top ten! 

What Not to Love: Favorite Guys!

Okay so yesterday we posted up our favorite main girls running through the YA world, and today it's the guy's turn! So here are a few of our favorites!! I just wanted to mention how I had such a hard time picking between all the amazing people, and I'm that person who falls in love with the dorky best friend so none of mine are actually the story's main characters. Anyways here they are.

What Not to Love: Leading Ladies!

Alrighty with so many books to read, and so many great characters to fall in love with, we had to do a post about our favorite leading characters. So here are a few gals that really make an impression. At least to us that is.

Cover Love: Valentine's Week!

Okay I really do LOVE this cover! Even though I never read the book, (I'm planning on getting it to read though), it just stands for LOVE. After all it is called "COURTING Morrow Little"! And she's wearing a red/pink dress, perfect for Valentines day! And not to mention the scene behind which looks gorgeous and I wish I could just jump into the book and be there!(Oh and wearing her dress would be cool too.) Anyway, its definitely a cover I love!

                                        

What Not to Love: Series!

We're going to kick off Valentine's Week with our top ten favorite series/trilogies. Rose's top five fav's, and of course yours truly's. That's worded weird. Who cares!? I'm posting this in PINK! (Blogger is totally cramping my style with their lack of color/fonts) Back to topic here, so out of the millions of series and trilogies, and the hundreds that's we've read, here are some that stuck out the most to us.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Okay so, I was never a Twilight fan till the movie Twilight Eclipse came out in 2010. And even after that I was never 'totally' into it. So then this year, 2012, Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 the movie came out. And that's when I realized how good this series actually was. Well the movies anyway. So I decided to give one of the books a try and read Twilight Breaking Dawn, which is 754 pages.

Drummer Boy at Bull Run Review

Hi blog! Missed you! Haha, really I feel totally guilty for putting off my blogs. But I'm back with a blog on "Drummer Boy at Bull Run" by Gilbert Morris.

Btw, Dawn I'm sorry I ditched you to writing all the blogs for awhile! <3

         Okay, this series isn't about princesses, spies or the supernatural. And it's the complete opposite to S.E. Hinton's books. This book is based off a time in history: The Civil War.
        After hearing that it was about the Civil War, I'm sure most of you automatically said you'd hate these books. But honestly it's a series I'll always remember. Maybe because of realizing what the soldiers and there families had to go through back then, or maybe because the way Gilbert Morris really made you remember his characters and really get into them. Or maybe it's because it's fun to grow with the characters as they grow in a series.
       But anyway, after reading all 10 books in this series I definitely wish they wouldn't have ended.

The Outsiders Review

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton:
GoodReads Summary: 

Written over forty years ago, S. E. Hinton's classic story of the struggle between the Socs and the Greasers remains as powerful today as it was the day it was written, and it is taught in schools nationwide. Now available in a great new package with an improved trim size, a stunning new cover, and bonus material. Designed with classroom use in mind, the new edition will maintain the same pagination as the previous edition.

My thoughts:

Ponyboy can count on his brothers and his friends, but not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids who get away with everything, including beating up greasers like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect--until the night someone takes things too far.

Written forty-five years ago, S. E. Hinton's classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was written.

"The Outsiders" is a memorable story of teens trying to find their place of belonging.

If you haven't yet read "The Outsiders", its a MUST read! (after you read it, watch the movie!)

I think quite highly of the author S.E. Hinton and the book "The Outsiders". At age 16, she wrote the novel and maybe that's why so many people really get into and understand it.

My rating on this book: 5 out of 5!
