Hay!!!!! Sorry about the lack of postage but Cam and I have been so busy with things (Finals last week!). but we're back and ready to read. First I would like to tell you about some new books. :)
Published January 15, 2013
First we have Shades Of Earth by Beth Revis. It's the third book in a series about Amy (a girl from Earth who has been cryogenically frozen with her family to travel to the new Earth) and Elder (the leader to-be of the people that were born on the ship). When Amy is unfrozen early and someone tries to kill her, she and Elder must find out who by untangling a series of lies by the people closest to him.

Second is Boundless by Cynthia Hand, the third and final book about a girl named Clara who is an Angel-Blood (part Angel). She needs to figure out what her purpose ( a message from God about what she is supposed to do on Earth) is, find out who her real dad is and try to stay away from Samjeeza--a Black Wing (fallen Angel)--that's trying to kill her because of her mother.
To Be Published January 29, 2013
Third is Shadowhenter and Downworlders by Various Authors. In this book various authors talk about the world of Shadowhunters and Downworlders and what they are really like. Topics vary from "How Cassandra Clare came up with CoB" to "Why the best friend never gets the girl", so check it out.
WARNING THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fourth is Silence in the Shadows by Courtney Allison Moulton. This book is the third in a series about a girl named Ellie who, when she meets a mysterious boy named Will, feels like she knows him more than anyone in the world. On Ellie's seventeenth birthday, Will awakens the power within her and she realizes/remembers that she is the reincarnation of the angel Gabriel who must stop Lucifer from starting a second war between the Angels and the Fallen.

The End of the World!!!!!!!!!!!
So as you might have heard the world is supposedly ending on 12-21-12 and TODAY IS THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!! Now, if you are one of those people who thinks that the planets will align and cause Earth's destruction on the Sun will explode, I totally respect your beliefs and I'm sorry if I insult you. I believe that the world will not end today because the Earth is supposed to have another 6 billion years until the atmosphere reverses and we go back to be like Mars, that is if we stop global warming (which I do believe in). Another thing people also say that the world is going to end because 12-21-12 is the last date on the Mayan calendar...I say that maybe if we hadn't like totally tried to eliminate the Mayans, they probably would have gotten a chance to FINISH THEIR DANG CALENDAR!!!!
Sincerely, Perri (have a happy D-Day)

UPDATE FROM THE BOTH OF US: WE SURVIVED! YEAH! (we knew that the world wasn't going to end, because the third Divergent novel hasn't been released, City of Bones and The Sea of Monsters haven't been viewed by millions of adoring fans, and we still haven't seen Le Mis yet.)

Elsewhere
Author: Gabrielle Zevin
Pages: 304
Published: Sep. 9, 2005
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Genre: Children's Fiction
After Elizabeth Hall is killed in a taxi cab accident she finds herself in a place called Elsewhere. Soon she learns that Elsewhere is a place dead people go to live, and they age backward until they are babies and eventually sent back to earth.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. I'm actually rereading it. Not to mention the ending is so sad it will make you cry. Gabrielle Zevin is really an amazing author, who wrote an amazing book.

Hay...so I don't know if you guys heard yet, but the third book in Ally Condie's series came out last week. The new book is called Reached, and it is amazing. Ally Condie did an AWESOME job to this great ending of the Matched series. Also, Beautiful Redemption, the final book in the Caster Chronicles series was so good I just don't even know how to describe it.

Say hello!
Hey guys, I'm back for some afternoon blogging, after going rock climbing at a HUGE gym with my mother. Heh. Mother.
It was funny, because on this one route(a series of tape or paint markings to show which areas may be used while climbing) had a particular tag(at the place I climb, there are tags, and that shows info about the route) that was truly confusing. Sadly, I didn't snap a picture, but this is what it said:
5.8
(the name of the route, I forgot what it was)
Tape color-yellow
Comments-
Naturals(grooves and ledges in the wall, also referred to as nats) on for only days with an even number of letters, and only after 11:37 am.
Route setter-
S. Smith(one of my employee buds)
Just kidding, you can use nats as much as you want.
Yeah, basically the guy was saying that you could only use naturals if the day had an even number of letters in the name, and if it was past 11:37 AM. Apparently, today, I couldn't use nats :(, only because it was Wednesday(9 letters), even though it was WELL past 11:37 AM.
Anyway, I want to welcome one of my best friends, Perri, to the blogosphere, as my second-in-command. Don't be alarmed if you see a 'posted by Perri at 0:00 pm' down at the bottom, okay?
