Vampire Knight, Vol. 3 (v. 3)

Vampire Knight, Vol. 03 - Matsuri Hino, Tomo Kimura Still very exciting!

Dolls Behaving Badly

Engaging All by Creating High School Learning Communities - Jeanne Gibbs, Teri Ushijima, Carolyn Rankin, Pat Ronzone 3.5 actually. I didn't feel the novel needed to be in diary format because it read so much like an actual story. But I fell in love with the characters and the message. This book celebrates life in its ugliest most raw form. It teaches you to love yourself. I like that a lot.

It's Kind of a Funny Story

It's Kind of a Funny Story - Ned Vizzini Wonderful story. completely engrossed throughout. has a ton of life changing advice.

Spell Bound (A Hex Hall Novel)

Spell Bound - Rachel Hawkins That was a nice ending. Seems as though this would be a great mini-series on TV.

The Art of Racing in the Rain

The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein Oh this was such a beautiful story. So beautiful and heartfelt. Genius.

Warm Bodies (Warm Bodies, #1)

Warm Bodies (Warm Bodies, #1) - Isaac Marion I loved it. Absolutely amazing. It's been a long time since I've read a book that was so good I had to stay up all night to finish it. This book is about zombies but it celebrates life. How awesome is that?

Vampire Knight, Volume 1 (v. 1)

Vampire Knight, Vol. 01 - Tomo Kimura, Matsuri Hino Pretty good. Intriguing. I like when secrets are introduced in the first volume. It keeps me wanting to read more :)

Demonglass (A Hex Hall Novel)

Demonglass - Rachel Hawkins Too many lagging parts. I wanted so much more action!!! I have a feeling the third installment will give me what I want!

Ready Player One

Ready Player One - Ernest Cline Actually a 3.5. The tone of this book was just too bland for me. But it was a wonderful story. I enjoyed all of the video game references. I now have a sudden urge to play Mario Brothers or something...

Rosario+Vampire, Vol. 1

Rosario+Vampire, Vol. 1 - Akihisa Ikeda Cute and funny. I'll need to read more of this series :)

Hex Hall (Book 1)

Hex Hall - Rachel Hawkins This was a great read. Fast-paced and incredibly funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Prodigy: A Legend Novel

Prodigy - Marie Lu Throughout the novel I felt as though I were reading a tennis match. Day and June were so confused with their feelings and they were confused about who was trustworthy. This frustrated me. But that ending. That ending stole my heart. Eagerly awaiting the next and last installment of the Legend Trilogy. FIVE starts all the way.

Legend

Legend - Marie Lu Even better the second time around!

A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire #3)

A Storm of Swords - George R.R. Martin The second half of this book is purely insane O_O So glad I refused to let this one slip through my fingers.

Les Miserables (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Les Misérables - Victor Hugo, Charles E. Wilbour, Laurence M. Porter I read somewhere that Hugo writes like a cuddly old grandfather that goes on tangents while he tells his stories. I agree wholeheartedly. The story is beautiful. The characters were beautiful. And I learned a TON about French society and politics. What more could a reader ask for?

Shades of Earth: An Across the Universe Novel

Shades of Earth - Beth Revis This book was so rushed. So many things happened so quickly that it was hard to absorb it all.
