Inspiration Time

So it's time for another inspirational quote...
In one of my earlier posts (the one titled Some Advice), I told you readers and awesome people to Just Be Yourself. I basically said to stand out from the crowd, even if you're the only one. That can be a really great thing and who knows, some people might just follow your example.

This weeks quote is from Mary Anne Radmacher, who is an Author, Writer, and Professional speaker.
I personally do not know Mary Radmacher, but I absolutely adore her quotes. Here is a link to her website/blog... http://www.maryanneradmacher.net/



So this reminds me to follow my dreams and keep going no matter how hard life gets. You can always try again until you get it right.

Comment if this quote helped you.
Thanks for reading this weeks post!!

Changing Fate

Changing Fate
Written by Michelle Merrill

So this is the most recent book that I have finished reading...



Let me tell you a bit about this book.
Kate a senior in Highschool suffers from cystic fibrosis. The quote at the very begining of this book basically was an inspiration to me; "We are all human beings, but if we don't learn to be, we can never become." This was an inspiration to me because it brouhgt to light the things that I need to do to become the best I can be.

So I will try to not spoil the book for you readers, but Be Warned!  Spoilers may be ahead.

So now that you have been told, I get started. I loved this book for many reasons, but one of the main reasons was because it wasn't all based around romance, but it brought forth a new perspective, on the subject of friendship. Kate has been pushing aside people for many years, all because her old friends rejected her because she had an uncureable disease. But she found some trusting friends later on in the book that accepted her and stayed by her side.

Michelle Merill really informs the reader about cystic fibrosis while keeping it entertaining and pleasant, because lets face it, death isn't usually a pleasant topic.

I want to thank all the people who recommended me this book to read! I would recommend this book to teens and above.


THANKS FOR READING! Comment what you think, or if you might read it.

Learning to Fly

Learning To Fly 

Written by Dana Burkey

I really enjoyed this book, it was a quick and easy read. 

This book caught my eye because it is about sports and I have done cheer before.

Overall I enjoyed reading this book. I love the way it was written so the skills could be easily understood, and I liked how the author, Dana Burkey, did her research about the sport (yes, cheerleading is a sport!) before writing it.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading and learning about cheer. This book is good for younger reads.

The Healer Book Review!

The Healer Book Review 

Written by C. J. Anaya 

So let me start out with how I liked the book...I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting and well detailed and descriptive. I was able to see the events happening in the book, and that for me is a big plus. 

This was a quick read (3 days) for me but I found myself reading parts to understand the book and process the information because I lost myself in the book. I found myself wanting to read more of it. It was a totally 'page turner' book. I fought it interesting that the characters back story's are shown to the reader further in the book and not just blurted out in the beginning of it. It gives a sense of 'I have to find out' which in return makes the reader read more. Good one C. J. Anaya! 

SPOILERS (BEWARE!) 

One thing that was a little disappointing was the fact that Angie, Hope's best friend, isn't incorporated within the plot better. I feel like C. J. Anaya could have used Angie's powers within the plot (I don't know if this happens in the next books though but I'm eager to read the next books anyways). I think having Angie's power used more or better explained would have helped the story. Angie's power doesn't really mix well with the whole Healing powers of the other characters have, but I'm interested in finding out what will happen. 

END OF SPOILERS

 I really look forward to readin the next books! Thanks for creating such interesting characters and stories C. J. Anaya!! Let me know if it sounds interesting or if you have read it. Enjoy.

Jump. By Elisa Carbone

Extra, Extra! Read all about this!!

I am back to blogging now...yaay!

So as you have seen I haven't posted since November, I have been busy with Christmas and Semester Exams (which all went well). So I have read a couple of new books, so be looking for my knew posts coming soon...Lets have a look at the first book I read since November...

Jump

Written By Elisa Carbone

Book Overview & Description

On Amazon the book description does a great job explaining the idea of the book, "Jump. That is what P.K. has done. A totally wild, crazy jump from a restrictive life with her family into a life of total adventure—rock-climbing out west with a guy she barely knows. At first, everything’s amazing. Not only are they climbing in awesomely beautiful national parks like Yosemite but they seem awesomely made for one another. P.K. is in heaven. And then the cops show up . . . with an arrest warrant. And P.K. has to decide who to believe: this amazing guy whom she trusts with her life—or the cops, who want her to believe that he may take her life." (Link -><http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6658568-jump> ).

My Review of the Book 

I really enjoyed the book. I loved the way Elisa Carbone really did her research about rock climbing before she wrote the book. All the interesting facts were presented in a way readers could easily keep track of them. The storyline of the book was great, and the plot was interesting too. It was an adventureous book packed with action and a fun writing style.

Recommendations 

I would put this in a young adult category, as well as a adventure category. A good age range to read this book is 14+ years old.
