book cover of 
Marked 
 (House of Night, book 1)

Kristin Cast and 
P C Cast
Read a synopsis here!
Number of pages: 306
I definitely had my doubts about this book when I started because I think I've heard more bad reviews than good ones. However, I loved it! It is definitely one of those guilty pleasure books (like Gossip Girl) and I got through it super quick! (Yeah, sorry that this review is so late. School has been CRAZY!)
The characters could have used a little more development but I have high hopes that they will grow throughout the next novels. (How many are there in the series anyway? Like 8!? Lot's of room for development!)
I don't know why but I really loved this book so much! Although the use of language could have been cut down a little it was actually really good! Sometimes the story line was a little predictable but that was okay because you wanted that next event to happen the way you imagined.
The conclusion was awesome! Normally conclusions are kind of boring for me because they basically tie up loose ends but this conclusion had so much excitement and action that I just loved it. I also loved how everything played out but I don't want to say more than that in case I ruin it!!
Overall, when I heard that there's was lot's of language and sex material I expected there to be something on every page but really they mentioned sex like 3 or 4 times. Some other young adult books are WAY worse than that!
Great read! Definite Paige-Turn seal of approval! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!! Catch ya later!

Book Hauls?

As you know from my last post I went book shopping yesterday and I bought A TON of books! Since I know that I'm getting some for Christmas, I'm going to wait until the end of the month to post a collective December Book Haul. I think it will be easier/more fun to see how many books I've collected or received over the month. (Maybe I'll do this for the rest of the upcoming year too. I can't decide! What do you guys think?)
I'm almost done with Marked! I'm so sorry it's taking forever but I do have to juggle schoolwork into my schedule as well! I only need the last like 100 pages and then I'll be done! Also for the rest of the month I'm going to read the rest of the Gossip Girl series (my goal is to finish the entire series within December) and the rest of the Marked series. (I'm not setting a deadline for that one because the series is not even completely written yet!) So there may not be as many reviews this month but y'all should be spending time with your families and getting into the festive mood! Happy reading! See you soon!

Done!

Last night I finished another Gossip Girl book (Because I'm Worth It - number 4) and it was pretty good. I'm just hoping that maybe some new stuff starts happening because it's kinda getting repetitive.
I'm about half way done with Marked by P.C. and Kristen Cast and so far I LOVE it!!! I was skeptical about reading it because of all the bad reviews I've heard but I have to say, I think this is going to become one of my favorite series'. Although I did find some grammar errors....
Christmas is coming up and my wish list is ever-changing. I can't decide between all the books I want! Today I'm going shopping at this book place (will explain more later) and if I find some books there that are on my wish list I'll have to update it AGAIN! Haha it will be worth it though! Can't wait until Christmas! (Only 22 more days!)
So I guess I'll see you guys later! I've got a long day of book bargain hunting/shopping ahead of me and I can't wait!
See you soon!
