Title: The Knife of Never Letting Go Author: Patrick Ness Hardcover, 479 pages Published May 5th 2008 by Walker Children's Recommended: 14 and up Goodreads  Summary: Todd Hewitt is the last boy in Prentisstown. But Prentisstown isn't like other towns. Everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts in a constant, overwhelming, never-ending Noise. There is no privacy. There are no secrets. Or are there? Just one month away from the birthday that will make him a man, Todd unexpectedly stumbles upon a spot of complete silence. Which is impossible. Prentisstown has been lying to him. And now he's going to have to run... My Thoughts: Prentisstown is not your typical happy-go-lucky town.  Everyone can hear everyone's thoughts, in the Noise.  There is no escaping.  Todd Hewitt is the last boy in town, and he has one month until he is thirteen and officially a man.  The Noise germ has killed all the women in their town, and Todd has accepted everythi...

  Search Amazon.com for great expectations by charles dickens  Title: Great Expectations Author: Charles Dickens Page Length: 518 Published Date: 1860-61 Recommended for: High Schoolers/College Students Summary (from Goodreads): No other novel in the English language so epitomizes upward mobility, the rise from poverty to wealth, as Great Expectations. Often considered to be one of Dickens's best novels, it tells the story of young Pip who is mysteriously helped by two people: escaped convict Magwitch and the eccentric dowager Miss Havisham. Here is storytelling at its best, alive with bigger-than-life characters, plot twists that turn on a dime, and scenes that burst off the page with color. What I Think: This story is not as hard as everyone says it is, it is just very wordy. I would not have read it on my own, but other people might, and that is good. It is not a bad book at all, it wasn't even that boring. It just explains stuff a lot, and I think that...

So, I have this issue of reading too many books.  In fact, I read so many books, I end up running out of time to review them all.  So today, I'm just going to do quick reviews of 3 books and put it in one post.  I'm just weird like that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Shade Author: Jeri Smith-Ready Hardcover, 309 pages Published May 4th 2010 by Simon Pulse Goodreads  Summary: Love ties them together. Death can't tear them apart. Best. Birthday. Ever. At least, it was supposed to be. With Logan's band playing a critical gig and Aura's plans for an intimate after-party, Aura knows it will be the most memorable night of her boyfriend's life. She never thought it would be his last. Logan's sudden death leaves Aura devastated. He's gone. Well, sort of. Like everyone born after the Shift, Aura can see and hear ghosts. This mysterious ability has always been annoying, and Aura ha...

I would like to thank  NetGalley  and the publisher for the eARC :)  Never thought I would actually get approved, and it was definitely one of the best Thanksgivings ever.  Woke up everyone in my house from their Thanksgiving nap with my screaming and hyperventilating.   Goodreads  summary: My name is Meaghan Chase.   I thought it was over.That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me.
