My Guilty ObsessionS!!!

First of all, I am back online now...and oh my goodness...I read some books, of course. I officially (not really), hooked up, engaged, and married a character in one of the books that I happened to read.. :p OMG!!!

I am sad to say though that I didn't pick this book to read on my own. The long story short is I was grounded (a long time ago) and I was ordered to read 5 books to get ungrounded...and me...the geek, kept adding books to the pile, and this book was among them.

DELIRIUM by Lauren Oliver!!!!!! One of the best books in the history of books. My guilty literary crush's name is Alex. Yes, Alex. I am even weird enough to mention this to my friends, who all laughed and said I was stupid. :( LOL

I am afraid to tell you, in any way, what this book's about because I will probably spoil it for each and every single one of you, but I want you to read this blog sooner or later, and if you haven't read this book yet, I am so sorry to say that you are late calling dibs on probably one of the best guys in the whole entire world.

There are no flaws about this book. There are only good things I could possibly find to say.

One other book I read is The First Step to Forever by my other boyfriend (bye bye Selena Gomez) because surprisingly (only for you guys) he is my other obsession and I love him so much. I am not going to lie that I know almost everything about him and read anything I can get my hands on about the totally hot guy, Justin Bieber.

Yes, there are people that do make fun of me because I am his favorite girl and his one less lonely girl, but that is not my problem that Justin Bieber happens to like me (if he knew me).

I am so obsessed that I even asked my step-mom to e-mail Ellen Degeneres for me and tell her how obsessed over Justin I am so that I can meet him. She said maybe. I really don't think she will do it though.

I can't say that I saw any flaws to his beautiful, amazing book, but I am just a total stinker for him and love him so much that I probably didn't notice. All that I noticed is his totally awesome life, his love for his fans, his rudeness towards his parents, and his funny personality and humor. I am totally in love.

Andi the step mom interjects here: I'm not happy about the rudeness to parents part. :(

Kiss and Blog

Kiss and Blog by Alyson Noel is no worse than any other drama queen book I have ever read, but I've gotta say it's better than some.

It is about trust and friendship. There are these two best friends that are trying to get into the clique of the populars. But one of the friends end up realizing that it's not going to be that easy for her to get in because she doesn't look like one of the popular girls. Her best friend ends up turning her back on the other and vice versa. They call each other names behind each other's backs. And the totally impossible to be popular friend ends up making a blog and gushing about all her best friend's secrets for revenge.

The friends take totally different paths and there is the same amount of drama in both of their lives.

Friendships are lost. Friendships are gained.  Boyfriends are made. Exes add up.

This is a love gush book that you'll totally freak about because it is so twisted and you never even know what's gonna end up happening. It's all suprises.

At least it was to me.

BRUISER

Andi recieved BRUISER in the mail and I decided to read it.. Of course I would never give up the chance to read a diffrent book.

I read this book because it sounded awesome but not only that it also caught my attention on the first page.

In this book there are four main charachters, Brewster, Cody, Tennyson, and Bronte. Brewster is a teenage boy that starts out with no friends. He lives with his uncle and his little brother Cody. Brewster has a secret only his family knows about. Throughout the book Brewster takes in other peoples' pain.There is a tragic turning point when something happens to Brewster's and Cody's uncle.

Cody is only eight. Near the beggining Cody grieves over a dead pet bull, TriTip, with his brother. While Cody tries to help his brother in parts of the book, he ends up hurting him instead. (Not on purpose.)

Tennyson and Bronte are sisters; Bronte is Brewster'ss girlfriend and Tennyson is Brewster's friend. When they find out Brew's secret they label it the impossible.

After things happen Cody and Brew have to live in Tennyson's and Bronte's parents' house. They end up regreting it. They end up regreting it because they find that they have been using Brew without knowing it.

I love this book because there was a lot of emotion going through me at different times as I read it. The feelings were, of course, for the characters. While reading the book, before reading the next part, I was like "No don't do that!!". I think that is what authors like to hear. That their readers are getting into the book. This Neal Shusterman book is amazing. I need to read more of his books soon.

The only thing that I hate about it is that I had to finish it. Also that, I don't know where Cody and Brew end up living.

Of All the Stupid Things

I was roaming the bookshelf looking for something to read when I stumbled upon the book Of All the Stupid Things! I read this book within two days because it was so good. The book is about three best friends: Tara, Pinkie, and Whitney Blaire.

Tara is an athletic girl who has to train for a marathon coming up in a few months. After hearing a rumor about her beloved boyfriend, Brent, having an affair with a boy cheerleader, everything starts to go downhill. While Tara was away on a trip with her mother she ran into her father and his new family. Which made things even more difficult . When this new girl, Riley, comes to town they become best friends. Pinkie and Whitney Blaire's friendship with Tara gradually fades away because of anger. It only makes things worse when Tara's assumption about Whitney Blaire and Brent together gets into her head.

Pinkie is like the glue in the friendship. She is the one that is happy, huggy, and is pushed to the side when there is a fight. Whitney Blaire ends up forcing Pinkie to choose sides. She ends up running to her best friend, David, for some guy advice after Whitney Blaire assumes something horrifying to Pinkie about Tara. Yet she has different problems; Pinkie is dating, or she thinks she is dating, the after school teacher when he invites her to an assembly. When she's not dealing with friends, family, and teachers, she's visiting her mom's gravestone, giving her letters, and telling her everything that goes on.

Whitney Blaire tries to stop the relationship from ending but also is trying to stop the new girl, Riley, from stealing Brent from Tara. When Whitney Blaire overhears Riley talking to some friends she tries to step in but is at the wrong place at the wrong time. And then Whitney Blaire runs into trouble with David, the guy who's had a crush on her for years.

I love this book because it teaches you lessons in different ways. One is you can't assume anything because if you assume wrong it will end up in chaos. In this novel, it's all about trust in others, friendship, loyalty, support, and being there for others.

However, I'm not a big fan of the misspelled words. Sentences that were missing words, or words that didn't belong, and some sentences where words needed to be switched.

Overall, with those adjustments the book was great.
