New Addition to the Blog

Hello all,

I suppose I've been formally introduced in the last blog post by its creator, so thank you for having me. I was called on to come and write posts occasionally about the books I read but hopefully I will be posting regularly. I will try to share things about myself that way you can get to know me and I will most definitely be bringing a variety of book genres to this blog.

The books I read tend to be more of the murder mystery and psychological thriller types, but I also enjoy a good humorous or satirical book. I also am trying to read some of the "classics" but overall I'm just exploring different genres in literature because I aspire to become a writer myself one day.

This was just a brief introduction and I hope to be blogging more soon to all you readers. With each post, I'll try to share at least one piece of information with you about myself and the book I'm currently reading.

This post's tidbit is that I'm currently reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. It is now on the Showtime channel and has been running for five seasons; it's been picked up for a sixth.
And a fact about myself is that this is my 32nd book since July 1st. I know that seems like a strange fact to keep up with the number of books, but I'll elaborate more in the next post as to why that's so important.

Thanks and Happy Reading!
J. Pardue

Early Christmas Present!

Guess what guys............ I have another author on my blog now. He is one of my closet friends. I asked him to be an administrator, since I've been really slacking on my duties as a blogstress! Yes, I'm completely aware that I just created a word. Which, personally, I think is wicked! Anyways, totally distracted there for a bit. I'm so busy with High school, college, and work that I don't have enough time to read as much as I use to. A few years ago, I read about a book or two a day! Now it takes me several weeks to complete one.
Another reason I asked him to team up was because he reads different kinds of books than me. So maybe we can hit a wider range of follower's interest. Plus he is like ten times better writer than I! Lol

Update: I finally finished Hunted (A House of Night Novel). I will try my best to post "what I think" by the end of the week.


Happy Readings to You All!!

Teaser Tuesday!

So I was over visiting Lexie's  blog, which is http://booklover-bookchicks.blogspot.com/, when I noticed the whole thing about Teaser Tuesday. I thought it sounded like a pretty wicked idea. Soooo I've decided to do it too! Whoop Whoop.

"Kramisha, I told you about a zillion times, don't make an issue outta somethin' that isn't one," Stevie Rae said.


Title: Hunted (A House of Night Novel) 
Author: P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast


Update: I'm on page 303 of 323! So most likely I'll be finishing it up this afternoon! Whoop Whoop!

Happy Readings to You All!!

Happy Potter and the Deathly Hallows

      Well I went to the midnight release of Harry Potter!! AND it was the Bomb!!!!!!! I would give it an A+!! I think they did a great job on this movie! I personally, think this movie was better than the book. The book was way too slow. I was highly disappointed. I felt they took way too long on the journey of finding the Horcrux. <--I think thats how you spell it. Oh well, you get what I'm saying. The movie went at the perfect pace on the journey. Now the movie did leave out some stuff, but that's ok.
       I love how the movie was fun and light, but at the same time serious and sad at moment. Like when, Dobby died. I cried like a baby! Even my little bro's eyes watered. I also think, the movie ended at the perfect spot. Of course, it's a cliffhanger, but the people that have read the book already knows what happened. Lol. I'm so ready for Part 2! July 15, 2011!!!!!! Woot Woot! YAY!

Anticipating....!!! Killer!!

AHHH So, me, I, myself, that is consumed in my own little world, just realized that the Demonglass (A Hex Hall Novel) book cover has been posted up. Yes yes yes I know im very behind. There is no telling how long its been up! Anyways, I don't know about you guys, but I'm extremely excited! The first book Hex Hall started off kinda slow. It took me a little bit to become a fanatic about it. Then about halfway I was flippin through the pages like they were nothing. I really fell in love with it. It's different from the other books I have been reading lately. Plus it ended in a killer cliff hanger. Gosh Im so ready for this book. Can ya tell? lol!

Here it is:
Isn't it just damn sexy?? Just Calling my name to finger its pages! 

Happy Readings to You All!!

So busy!!!

So sorry guys!! I know I haven't been posting. I have been so busy! Today I applied to like three different colleges. Ugh all of this college stuff is very stressful. I have to take the SAT again on Dec. 4 because I made such shitty scores the first time. Then the Saturday after that, Dec. 11, I'm taking the ACT because I heard it was more math-based. I'm a lot better at math than English and Reading. I have very crappy reading comprehension. So funny since I love to read huh? Lol! Anyways, I will try my best to write a review on Crescendo this weekend.

I'm still reading Shiver (Wolves of Mercy Falls) and Hunted (House of Night, Book 5). Plus I read like five pages in Misguided Angel (Blue Bloods, Book 5). Hopefully soon I will get done with at least one of these!

Happy Readings to All
