Sci-Fi, anyone?

Haha. Just going to update my erm, blog with all the books I have read these few weeks. Ehehehe...

Marked- P.C. and Kristen Cast (A House Of Night Novel, #1)

After she is Marked, 16 year old Zoey Redbird enters the House of Night and learns that she is no average fledging. She has been Marked as a special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. But she is not the only fledging at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite club, is mis-using her Goddess given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself to find the courage to embrace her destiny- with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

Haha. I like this book. I bought it on impulse that day when I was waiting for my mum to finish her gym session at City Mall. It's interesting, different and an enjoyable read. It is a series and the second one is Betrayed, followed by Chosen, then Untamed, Hunted, and Tempted which is not out yet. Hah. Chosen is not even out here but people are already anticipating Tempted. Sigh, the cover of the book I got, the one on the left, is not the original. I think the original one, the one on the right, looks way better, and starting from Chosen, the theme of the cover sort of changes and it looks so cool and awesome! =D I would definitely follow the whole series. And it's not an emo-ish book! Judging by the cover, and the 'house of NIGHT' and the 'DARK daughters' and everything, it looks emo, but it's not. So.. yup. A 4/5 for me! =D

Betrayed- P.C. and Kristen Cast (A House of Night Novel, #2)

Zoey has managed to settle in at the House of Night and come to terms with the vast powers the Goddess Nyx has given her. Just as she finally feels she belongs, the unthinkable happens: human teenagers are being killed, and all evidence points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey's old life, she begins to realize that the very powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves.

Hehe! Nice book! Better than the first! And the same thing about the covers. But. Thou shall not judge a book by it's cover, though some of us still do, literally. Haha. Another 4/5 for me! =D

Holes- Louis Sachar

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly send to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day, digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment- and redemption.

Inventive and humorous indeed! I love this book! The plot is really well-thought out. I bought it because it was one of the books for SPM Eng. Lit. and I wanted to get a taste of what kind of books SPM Eng. Lit. uses. It is really a great book and definitely recommended! =D 5/5 for me! All the way! Oh, and apparently theres a movie too. Hmm..

Dead Until Dark- Charlaine Harris (A Sookie Stackhouse Novel, #1)

Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Lousiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much. Not because she's not pretty. She is. It's just that, well, Sookie has this sort of 'disability'. She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill. He's tall, dark, handsome- and Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting for all her life. But Bill has a disability of his own. He's a vampire with a bad reputation. He hands with a seriously creepy crowd, all suspected of- big surprise- murder. And when one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next...

I bought this one on impulse too. When I saw the cover I was like Whoa. But I think another thing that contributed to me buying the book was because I was interested to see how this book would turn out after reading Twilight, where there is also a vampire and mind-reading, though Dead Until Dark came out way before Twilight did. This book is interesting, a nice read! I would buy the following books too, when I can find them in KK. So far I can only find this book, the others are 'not released' yet. The cover on the left is the one I bought, but I think the original is the one on the right. I think I like the original better. Sigh... Haha. So yea, 4.5/5 for me! =D

Well. That is all, I think. More to come! I'm planning to sell some of my books, to get the same ones again but with the covers I want. Haha. That includes Marked, Betrayed, Dead Until Dark, and all four books from the Twilight Series. But, I like in KK, so good luck to me I guess.

Hehe, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is coming out soon! Yes, I know I'm outdated, but seriously, I just saw the trailer- guess where- at the airport. Hah. Well, enjoy!! There is a better trailer, I don't know which is official, but the other one is alot more WHOA then this, but embedding is disabled. So.. enjoy! =D I guess it's time to reread The Half Blood Prince! =D

I own nothing.
