Review: Pretty Little Liars #1

Pretty Little Liars #1

Back Cover:

   Everyone has something special to hide-especially high

 school juniors Spencer, Aria, Emily,

 and Hanna.

   Spencer covets her sister's boyfriend. Aria's fantasizing about her English teacher. Emily's crushing on the new girl at school. Hanna uses some ugly tricks to stay beautiful. But they've all kept an even bigger secret since their friend Alison vanished.

   How do I know? Because I know everything about the bad girls they were, the naughty girls they are, and all about the dirty secrets they've kept. And guess what? I'm telling.

My Opinions:

  I read this book during the Read-A-Thon. I've had this book for almost a year. I even have the next three of them. I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. Like I've said in earlier post, I have a buying-books-addiction. My TBR pile is HUGE! 

  I was surprised that the book was actually good. I only got the chance to watch the first two episodes on TV. I decided to buy the seasons on DVD when I get the money to. I liked the episodes that I saw. I thought that maybe I wouldn't like either the show or the books. I figured it would be too soap-opera-y.

  The mystery and twist keep me into it. I'm not a huge fan of every character. My favorite character to read about in the books is Aria. I don't know what it is about her, but she is the most interesting. I also like Spencer. I just feel so bad for her. Them two are my favorite. I think it's because I can relate to them so well. My least favorite is Hanna. She gets annoying sometimes. She is too much worried about her image then anything else. She is all about popularity. I like Emily too. She is one of my favorites, but its interesting to get a view point inside of homosexuality. I'm straight and I have no problems with gays. I've always kind of wondered if it was scary to be attracted to the same sex. I think Sara Shepard gives a good insight about it. 

+May contain spoilers behind this+

  Poor Emily really struggles with her sexuality. Her boyfriend, well now ex-boyfriend, is kind of a jerk. He is very immature. I can't stand guys that are like that. Just because he got his ego crushed doesn't mean he should glare at her at the funeral. The death of Alison really takes a tole on all the girls. 

  At first Alison was just missing for years, then at the end of the book they find her body. They haven't done a DNA test. They recognized it was her by the ring on her finger. I think it would be a huge twist if it turns out to be someone else. I'm not sure what happens in the series. I try not to look at people's reviews because I don't want anything spoil. I do like making assumptions about what might happen next.

  I feel really sorry for Spencer. The way her parents are treating her is so wrong. I can't stand when adults play favorites, especially with their children. It's not Spencer's fault that Melissa can't keep her man happy. Melissa knows that she is the favorite of her parents and she definitely takes advantage of it. If I was Spencer, I would have went after Ian instead of Wren. I haven't decided if I think Spencer likes Wren, or she just gets that confused with liking the fact that her sister's boyfriend pays more attention to her.

  I can't wait to find out with happens next. 

+Who I think is A+

I think its Maya. Maya is in Alison's old room. She could have gotten hold of Alison's journal that could have kept everything in it. 

I hope everyone is enjoying BlogFest. I know I am!

Once Upon A Read-A-Thon The End

I'm really sorry that I haven't posted my wrap-up sooner. My Internet has been done. I thought it would never come back on.

Books I finished:

Twisted (Fearless)

Pretty Little Liars  #1

526 Pages

I know its not a lot at all. I got really busy. Stuff kept popping up. I read as much as I could. I'm hoping the next read-a-thon I can at least double it! I hope everyone has a blast! I know I did!

Mini-Challenge #2

I did complete one book yesterday and half of another. So I'm very proud of myself.
I decided to participate in YA Bliss's mini challenge.
Her challenge is to choose your three favorite love-triangles.
To me this challenge is pretty dang tough. I usually always go for the bad boy in the books.
My choices:
1. Personal Demons- Gabriel vs. Luc
    - Even though I didn't like this book very much, I still haven't decided who I want Frannie to be with.
2. Blood and Chocolate- Aiden vs. Gabriel
3. And of course, The Twilight Saga Complete Collection- Edward vs. Jacob

Review: Twisted (Fearless #4)

Twisted (Fearless)

This was the first book I'd decided to read for the Read-A-Thon. I just finished it a few minutes ago. I don't think I've stuck to reading like that in years. I think I'm getting to old for this. lol
Anyways...it's been years since I've read the first three books in the Fearless's series. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bad book at all. I love these books. It's just that they are hard to find these days. The our out-of-pub. I have to get them from private owners. So shipping is a kick in my ass.
Every book in the Fearless series is great so far. Every page is filled with suspense and mystery. I have to keep reading to find out what happens next. I didn't even want to take breaks today, but I did. I get awful headaches if I read too long. Even with these headaches I'm pushing through this read-a-thon.


Contains Spoilers after is point....

Unfortunately I figured out that David was the killer pretty dang early. Maybe it's because I want Sam and Gaia together. Who the hell knows? But I feel so sorry for Ed, him being in a wheel chair and all. If not really that he is in a wheel chair that makes me feel sorry him, it's the fact that he is chasing after a girl that he knows doesn't feel the same. I guess that's just humans. Going after something they love, no matter the heartbreak later. I hope she brings in a character for him. I like Ed. He is sweet and kind. A guy any girl would dream to have.
If Sam really loved Gaia, he wouldn't be sleeping with Heather. I want Sam and Gaia together, but then again I don't. I feel like he doesn't care for her enough. He is only with Heather because he feels same and she's hot. I just get the feeling that he is very shallow. I hope he changes soon, or I'm going to want another love partnerfor Gaia.


Update on Progress:
Finished Gaia: Check!
Started on second book: Right after I get off of here. I think I'm going to read the first book in the Pretty Little Liars.

Well I'm off!

Happy Reading to All!
