New blog address

For anyone who hasn't given up following my blog, here is the new address: 
http://100booksayear.wordpress.com/
It's not as pretty yet, but I will work on it when I can.  Don't give up on me, I've made a few new posts, but the start of school is hectic.

Just an update

I know I am behind in my updates, but I do have a reason (or excuse). The blogspot and blogger sites are blocked at my school. I don't know why, but it is causing me to have to do my updates at home, and I just don't have time when I get home. So, I think I am going to have to move my blog to another site. Stay tuned for updates!

#13 Firestorm (The Caretaker Trilogy, #1) by David Klass

Everything was going great for Jack.  Star of the football team, great girlfriend, good grades.  And then one night, after a game, Jack sees a man pass by him and the man's eyes shine silver.  When he mentions this to his father, everything in Jack's life changes.  Suddenly, his father and mother are not really his father and mother and he is on the run from something he doesn't understand.  After making his way to New York City, he is trapped by a Gorm in a penthouse apartment and barely escapes death.  On the way out of the apartment, he meets a dog who can talk to him telepathically.  The dog joins him as he runs for his life and on the way Jack finds out that he was born 1000 years in the future and sent back in time to save the world.  He is the 'Beacon of Hope' for the people of the future.  The problem is that he must find Firestorm and nobody knows what it is or where it can be found.  This book makes a strong case for protecting the earth's environment and how what we are doing today effects the generations of the future.  But it is well written and keeps you guessing as you go along.

#12 Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

Perfect Chemistry is one of those timeless romantic stories along the lines of Romeo and Juliet or West Side Story.  Alex is a gang member from the south side of town.  Brittany is the captain of the cheerleading squad and is dating the captain of the football team.  In their senior chemistry class, Brittany and Alex are paired up as partners.  They have no choice but to work together to complete the project for the year.  Brittany's grades have always been perfect (Brittany has always been perfect), and she fears that Alex is going to mess that up.  But even though they shouldn't, Brittany and Alex are drawn to each other and start dating.  This causes problems for both of them with their families and friends.

This is a really well written book.  I highly recommend it.

#11 Burned by P.C. and Kristin Cast

At the end of the last book, Zoey and her friends had gone to Italy to meet with the Vampyre High Council and to confront Kalona and Neferet once again.  Neferet has most of the High Council under her spell and is convincing them that she is Nyx incarnate and the Kalona is Erebus.  Aphrodite is having visions of Zoey's death and of evil taking over the world.  Unfortunately, Heath gets in the way of Kalona and is killed.  Zoe is a witness to this and when she sees it happen, her soul is shattered.  The only way to save Zoey is for Stark to enter the Otherworld and help her repair her soul.

#10 Tempted by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Kalona and Neferet have been banished from Tulsa, but Zoey and her friends know that this is not the end of their battle.  They return to the House of Night to begin rebuilding the school, but most of the students are still being influenced by the power of Kalona.  Stevie Rae is still keeping the bad red fledglings a secret from Zoey and she has another secret hidden also.  As they all recover it becomes apparent that they are going to have to go to Italy for another, hopefully final confrontation with Kalona and Neferet.  But first they have to meet with the Vampyre High Council.

#7, 8, & 9 - House of Night Series

Sorry I've been a little slow in posting.  I'm trying to finish up the House of Night series by P.C. Cast.  After these three books, I have two more to finish.  I notice I really need to write these right after I finish the book or I can't remember the details well.  Be aware, if you are going to read the series, you might not want to read the reviews!

#7 - 'Chosen' - Zoe becomes friends with Aphrodite because they both notice the darkness surrounding the High Priestess Neferet.  And for some reason, Neferet cannot read their minds.  With Stevie Rae's death, a new member must be added to the council and to the circle.  Zoe finds that Aphrodite has an affinity for Earth and she is asked to join.  This does not go over well with the others in the circle: Damien (Air), Erin (Fire), and Shaunee (Water), but it is important for the circle to be complete.  Zoe is fully imprinted with Heath, her human boyfriend; is dating Erik Night; and is fooling around with the Vampire Poet Laureate Loren Blake.  This of course complicates everything as she is trying to keep everyone separate. While Zoe is trying to help Stevie Rae (who is now undead) regain her humanity, someone is killing vampires and the blame is placed on humans from the People of Faith Church.  Neferet declares a war on humans!

#8 - 'Untamed' - Zoe's friends are mad at her because she has been keeping secrets.  She has a good reason though.  Neferet can read her friends minds, so if she tells them everything, her plans might be discovered.  Zoe is no longer imprinted with Heath after a one night stand with Loren Blake (who is now dead) and Erik has become a full vampire and is really ticked off at Zoe for having so many boyfriends around.  Zoe and Aphrodite are able to help Stevie Rae get her humanity back, but in exchange Aphrodite loses her affinity for Earth as well as her Mark!  But Aphrodite is still having visions and they uncover a long lost Cherokee legend about a fallen angel named Kalona.

#9 - 'Hunted' - Kalona and Neferet are posed to take over the House of Night and eventually the World.  They are accompanied by Raven Mockers who are part human, part bird.  They are evil and vicious creatures who are following Zoe around and have attacked her twice!  Zoe and her friends all team up together and run from the House of Night and hid in the tunnels under Tulsa where Stevie Rae and her red fledglings have been staying.  Here they make plans to fight Kalona, but in an unfortunate incident, Zoe is seriously injured by a Raven Mocker and must return to the House of Night to recover.  When they arrive, they see that almost everyone is under the hypnotic power of Kalona and no one sees the evil around them.
