Summary:

Olus loves Kezi, Kezi loves Olus...

Olus is the Akkan god of the winds. While Kezi is a beautiful mortal of dance and rug making. Falling in love for both of them is easy, but the circumstances are, how should we say this? A little difficult. Kezi is scheduled to be sacraficed to the god Admat is a month's time. Through this month Olus and Kezi discover love and what it really means to be a hero, and how strong love can be.

Wdebo' Review: I like anybook by Gail Carson Levine, she is a really talented author. Though I have to say Ella Enchanted is by far the best. The story of Kezi and Olus is very simple, and I agree with TCR the love is rushed a bit. First they see each other and all of a sudden they're head over heels in love? Eeh? Is life really like that? Anyways, I did enjoy this book a lot, it is geared towards younger readers, but it was still a good find, like all of her books. If you adored Ella Enchanted I would recommend that you read this book, sure the plot and people and lands are different, but all in all it still has Ella's and Gail's spunk and amazing voice in it. 8/10!

Queen of Babble Gets Hitched By: Meg Cabot

Hi, everyone! In remembrence of how I reviewed Queen of Babble (My first ever blog post-and it is like exactly 3 months since that post), I have decided to review the conclusion to this amazing trilogy, Queen of Babble Gets Hitched, in that same form!

Book:

*Spoiler Alert for those who haven't read other books!*

Lizzie Nicholas is baack (wow, saying it like that makes her sound like a serial killer, in all the scary movie they're all like "I'm baack"), for the conclusion to this amazing trilogy.

After Meg Cabot left us with that huge cliffhanger in Queen of Babble in the Big City, with her and Chaz together and Luke proposing to her, we were very angry at her after we turned the cover over hoping to see the secret pages then feeling like we should chuck the book at the wall and write an angry letter to the editor demanding why they let her just end at such a humongo cliffhanger (Well, I felt that). But, I couldn't do any of those things, because it was a library book. So, when Queen of Babble Gets Hitched finally came out I felt like I could feel better.

The story begins after Luke proposes to her and she goes and tells Chaz then it goes way downhill from there. After going back to Luke, all she seems to be able to think about is Chaz. Luke wants a wedding in his parent's chateu, while Lizzie's parents just want it in their backyard. Lizzie's confussion grows more when Luke goes to Paris for the whole Summer, and all she can think about is Chaz, Chaz, Chaz. Will she finally have the perfect wedding to the "perfect" man? Or will there be another man's arm that she'll fall into?

First off, I am a HUGE Meg Cabot fans, I adore her wittiness, which is why I read the Queen of Babble Trilogy in the first place. The story was ok, compared to the other two, but I have to say, it is still a really good book. Still has her charm and stuff.

Extra Info: These two awesome authors colaborated for the second time! The first book Nick and Norah's Infinate Playlist, has become a major motion picture, and aparently this book is too! Hayden Pannetiere stars? (If you know anything about it, plz comment!)

Summary: Naomi and Ely have been best friends since ever. Ely is Naomi's gay best friend. Naomi is in-love with Ely, while Ely just loves her like a sister. Then, one day, Ely finds himself locking lips with Naomi's boyfriend Bruce-the-second, and this epic book begins. While fighting with the prospect of being gay (Bruce the second), the hatred of not having a best friend by your side 24/7 (Naomi and Ely), the need to be with Naomi again (Bruce the First), wanting to BE with Naomi (Gabrielle), the desire for Robin/boy (Robin/girl), this book switches points with the most interesting and unforgettable characters you will ever read, and the search for all different types of love.

Wdebo's Review: I actually wished for a sequal to Nick and Norah's Infinate playlist, so when I first picked up the book, I was disappointed that it featured two new characters. But when I actually read it, I was happy that I didn't throw it down and run away from it. This book was funny and sweet, written in the way that only Rachel Cohn and David Levithan could. The two characters really spook to me they were so real and raw, they could have been my friends that I grew up with. I would reccomend this book to everyone, who adores Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (Author of Boy meets Boy-also another good book), so I wish all of you can go out and read this book NOW! 9/10!

Do you want to see the movie Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List? Do you think Hayden will be anygood? For those who've watched Nick and Norah, was it good?

"How did my sister fall through a hole in her life and into some other life below?

I'm not sure how it happened. Sometimes I still have trouble believing that it happened at all."

Summary: 14 year old Elena's life has been turned upside down after finding out her sister, Dora is suffering from depression. Life is bad when Elena sees Dora in the mental ward at their local hospital. When she gets to school, life becomes even worse where no one will talk to her, except for Jimmy Zenk, a guy who wears black everyday and failed ninth grade. He talks to her like they've been best friends since they were in diapers. But, he is a man with a secret, a really big secret, one that could ruin their friendship, or whatever -ship they have.

Wdebo's Review: There is just something about books with depression, no matter who writes them, there is this sort of power in it. I was drawn into this book, when I first began reading it. I really liked it, I would reccomend all of you to read this book, if you or someone you know has depression, or have anything to do with depression or not. I think everyone should read it, it is such a good book, with such a strong message.

Summary: Quentin Jacobsen has always loved Margo Roth Spiegleman since they were little kids. And now as a band geek and she as the most popular girl in school, there is no way he can get her to look at him, even with their next door neighbor status. But, when Margo comes dressed as a ninja and sneaks into his room late at night, he has to go with her. He is taken on the night of his life, but the next day she is no where to be found, only a string of ambiguous clues could be his chance to finding his "true love".

Wdebo's Review: Told from an amazing first person Quentin just seems like someone you would know and could be total friends with. John Green is hillarious and an outstanding author. I was sucked into this book right when I started, I think everyone should read it, its so funny and hillarious, but there is a sense of intenseness that I just don't know how to describe. My favorite part has to be when Ben gets drunk...

"'NOOO! Boooo. Booo on Quentin. Hey, everybody! Booo Quentin!' And I was booed. 'Everybody's drunk. Ben drunk. Lacey drunk. Radar drunk. Nobody drive. Home by six. Promised Mom. Boo, sleepy Quentin! Yay, Designated Driver! YESSSS!"

Haha, I can read that part forever and still laugh. I'm sure you guys will enjoy this book very much, but the use of honeybunny for girl is not really nice, um I don't wanna b called a honeybunny. I mean eww! 9/10!

Extra Info: Books I've read that are similar to this are Skinned and The Adoration of Jenna Fox.

Summary: Phoebe Kendell has never really fit into school, with her goth wardrobe and pale pale skin. Now, with a new phenome Pheobe can fit in just a little more, with teenagers crawling out from their graves, they have now become Zombies, um excuse me, diffrently biotic. They have Oakville High, Phoebe's school. But her classmates don't like them very much, especially Pete, the most popular football player in school, who is especially put off when Tommy Williams, the leader of the differently biotic students, plays on their football team. Let's just say the whole country isn't that happy too. Who a growing sense of attraction to Tommy, Phoebe will do anything to know more about Tommy and be closer to him.

Wdebo's Review: When I saw the cover, I was like "What?" Because there is a blonde-goth-cheerleader, that is just so oxymoronic. So, after reading this book I still don't know who this blonde-goth-cheerleader is because Phoebe is NOT a cheerleader and she does NOT have blonde hair!! But, it was a really good book, Daniel Waters did a good job of forming Phoebe even though she is a girl and he is a guy, but I think Phoebe and all all the other girls are just a tad girly. I liked the whole story, and idea, though lately a lot of people have been writing about the same type of topic, but its ok, I like this story. Though the ending is not my most favorite part, it went by really fast and in the end it just turned into a cliffhanger, which I do not like, especially if there is not a second and third book to it. Though all in all it is REALLY good and I would reccomend it to all of my friends. 9/10!

Do you like all these new books about this subject? For those who have read the story: Who is the girl on the cover??!! Is it that Julie girl?
