Live Journal

That's right folks, I actually got a livejournal. There, you can find organizations for my stories and such. It's basically for people who want to ignore the personal stuff about me and actually find out what's going on with stories and such. Only one post entry though. May have another one up soon though. We'll see.

If you want to check out the LiveJournal, you can access the link on my page that lists the sites that I'm on.

Still Alive

Yes, people, I'm still alive. Don't worry. Just thought I let you all know that. School has just been very busy and in order to keep up with it I haven't been able to post as often as I would like.

I have also read too many books for me to dedicate single posts to them. So I will have to consolidate and actually work on them when I get the chance.

These are the books you can expect to see reviews for in the coming months:

Ranger's Apprentice #5 The Sorcerer of the North by John Flanagan

Ranger's Apprrentice #6 The Siege of Macindaw by John Flanagan

Ranger's Apprentice #7 Erak's Ransom by John Flanagan

Ranger's Apprentice #8 The Kings of Clonmel by John Flanagan

The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis

A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

As for my fics, I do have chapters already typed up for them. The problem is, the computer they were typed up on has a broken internet port. So yeah, until it gets fixed, I won't be able to actually post anything. Which stinks. Please be patient though. Just think, when they finally arrive, you'll be very excited to read them...hopefully.

Nomination Time!

Hey there fans, just so you know, the Lion Awards is going to take place in about a month. Some of my fics are up to nominate. If you want to see them nominated to win chances at awards, feel free to do so. :)

The following fics are the ones qualified to be nominated:

The Fall of Narnia (or How Narnia Fell on TLC)

That Was Romance, This Is True Love

Peter's Present is qualified as well, but I have decided not to post that yet as account for the fact that it is a Christmas gift to my Secret Santa "victim."

As of yesterday, I officially have finished reading perhaps one of my most favorite sci-fi books, The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells.

War of the Worlds is about Martians who invade England in the early 1900's, my guess some time between World War I and after World War II. The main character's life is turned upside down one evening when a strange extra-terrestial object, seemingly harmless, fall to Earth and by the next day Martians are destroying all of England. The Martians only seek to rid the human dominance over Earth because their world is dying and they want a new planet to live on.

I loved it in case you couldn't already tell. Most alien invasion stories were inspired by this book. But you know what they say, nothing beats the original. :)

Happy Holidays

Just going to wish you all a late happy holidays. Sorry, my internet was out.

Hey people! Just got done reading an awesome book. And I can't wait to tell you about it. The book is called Hush, Hush.

Hush, Hush is about a girl named Nora Grey who finds herself mysteriously attracted to the new transfer student, Patch. He is handsome, but he has a bad boy reputation. And clearly he is attracted to her as well. One night though, Nora learns she is being followed by a creepy stalker in a ski mask. Her suspicions immediately turn to Patch, especially with his very little known past. As she investigates though, she can't help but question her suspicion. And before she realizes it, she finds herself pulled into the great war between the Fallen Angels and Heaven.

What did I think of it? It was very good. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't put it down. The characters and plot are very well crafted. Fair warning though, there are lots of sexual inuendos in this story. In addition, some of you may question the accuracy of the spiritual content inside. With that aside though, it was very well written and I enjoyed it. If someone were to ask me for a book recommendation, I would put this book in my top fifty.

Some of you are wondering why I didn't just add this with the Rachel Scott one. The reason why my dear readers is because I just read one of the most horribly written books I ever wrote. It does deserve to be with the book on Rachel Scott the book was so  bad. But I'll get to reasons why I hate this book later. You probably want to know what it was I read...

The book I just read is none other than Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.

Twilight is about a sad and lonely girl named Bella. She is not too happy about moving to Forks, Washington and living with her father. But she doesn't want to be with her mom and her mom's new boyfriend in Florida. Though many of the kids love her, she tries to shake them away. And just when she thought she couldn't like Forks, she meets the vampire known as Edward Cullen.

Of course, you already know that I hate this book with a passion. But now I must give you my reasons why. Let us first start off with the obvious. Bella is a Mary Su. Seriously, no girl like her should have that many guys interested in her. Not only that, but all the characters seem naturally drawn to her even though she appears to be a mopey wet blanket. Let us also not forget the fact that Edwards is too perfect, being both good looking and smart and muscially gifted. Stephanie Meyer also writes the story about nothing except how perfect Edward seems to be in Bella's eyes. Then she tries to squeeze in a horribly crafted plot in the last ninety pages.

In conclusion, Twilight has completely devestated the reputation of vampires. The book also is also filled with Sues and Stus. Not to mention that Bella is just plain annoying. Seriously, I can't believe this a New York Times bestseller.
