Name of book: InkSpell
Author: Cornelia Funke
Blurb: (Of the back!) Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of the extraordinary events of Inkheart and the story whose characters strode out of the pages and changed her life forever. But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater, torn from his world or words, the need to return had become desperate. When he finds a crooked story-teller with the magical ability to read him back, he sets in motion a dangerous reversal that sees the characters of Inkheart transported to a charmed Inkworld about to be fought over by rival rebels and princes.

What you thought: Inkspell didn't grab me as much as Inkheart did, and I didn't really enjoy it as much! Inkheart still remains the best, and lets just hope that Inkdrawn will be better!

What you thought: there really wasn't a very good antagonist, and he was only there for a little while. you did not think "why are you so evil?" you think more "Why are you so stupid?" he doesn't make you quake in your seat and if you met him you wouldn't care. there weren't a lot of characters that stood out aside from Miri and Peder. overall it was an OK book that i thought was good until it got to the supposed "turning point" in the book.[/b][/b]

What you thought: it was OK I guess, it wasn't as good as Princess Diaries and can be bit over-rated!

name of book: I. Coriander
Author: Sally Gardner
Blurb: i sometimes wonder if none of this would've happened if i never put on the shoes... but they were so entrancing that i felt drawn to them. everything: the alligator, raven, and my mother, could've been different. (theres other stuff i dont remember what it said)
i only have seven candles to write my story... and i think my story should start with "once upon a time"
Rating: 5
What you thought: I LUVED this book.... it was so captivating and twisted from what i thought it would me that i couldn't put it down! it was very discriptive and imaginative and i wish i could write like that! i would recommend this book to anyone that likes odd and magical fairy tales with 2 worlds.. 1 girl.. and mother with a past that is kept hidden...

Name of book: The Manny Files
Author: Christian Burch
Blurb: "Be interesting." That's what the manny [man nanny] tells Keats Dalinger the first time he packs Keats' school lunch, but for Keats that's not always the easiest thing to do. Even though he's the only boy at home, it always feels like no one remembers him. His sisters are everywhere! School isn't much better. There, he's the shortest kid in the entire grade. But the manny is the Dalingers' new babysitter and things are starting to look up. It seems as though the manny always knows the right thing to do. Not everyone likes the manny as much as Keats does, however. His older sister Lulu finds the manny embarrassing, and she's started to make a list of all the crazy things that he does, like serenading the kids with "La Cucaracha" from the front yard or wearing underwear on his head or meeting the school bus dressed as a limo driver. Keats is scared. What if Lulu's "Manny Files" makes his parents fire the manny? Who will teach him how to be interesting then?

Name of Book: My Sister's Keeper
Author: Jodi Picoult
Blurb(my own): Anna was born so she coould save her sister Kate's life. They needed her blood to transfer to Kate who was diagnosed nine monthes earlier with leukimia. It started out with Anna just needing to donate the blood when she was only half-an-hour old when she really didn't care. Then it was bone-marrow or any other number of things to keep Kate alive. Anna can never leave home, never go to summercamp and never to college(if Kate survives until then) in case Kate needs an immediate transplant. But now Anna's "asked" to donate a kidney, and it's too much. She goes to lawyer and asks to sue her parents for the right to her body. Without the kidney, however, Kate will die. This story is written from all the main character's points of view, except Kate, and each character has secrets of their own, from Anna's druggie brother to the lawyer with a guard dog for no reason anyone knows of, and Anna herself, who can't admit the truth of what she's doing.
Rating(out of five): 5
Thoughts: I love this book. Only two books in my whole life have made me cry, the fifth Harry Potter and this. A beautiful story, it's only drawback being the depressing ending.

Name of book: A Great and Terrible Beauty
Author: Libba Bray
Blurb: (From Amazon):A Victorian boarding school story, a Gothic mansion mystery, a gossipy romp about a clique of girlfriends, and a dark other-worldly fantasy--jumble them all together and you have this complicated and unusual first novel.
Gemma, 16, has had an unconventional upbringing in India, until the day she foresees her mother’s death in a black, swirling vision that turns out to be true. Sent back to England, she is enrolled at Spence, a girls’ academy with a mysterious burned-out East Wing. There Gemma is snubbed by powerful Felicity, beautiful Pippa, and even her own dumpy roommate Ann, until she blackmails herself and Ann into the treacherous clique. Gemma is distressed to find that she has been followed from India by Kartik, a beautiful young man who warns her to fight off the visions. Nevertheless, they continue, and one night she is led by a child-spirit to find a diary that reveals the secrets of a mystical Order. The clique soon finds a way to accompany Gemma to the other-world realms of her visions "for a bit of fun" and to taste the power they will never have as Victorian wives, but they discover that the delights of the realms are overwhelmed by a menace they cannot control. Gemma is left wi! th the knowledge that her role as the link between worlds leaves her with a mission to seek out the "others" and rebuild the Order. A Great and Terrible Beauty is an impressive first book in what should prove to be a fascinating trilogy.

Rating: (Out of 5): 5!
What you thought: BRILLIANT! BLOODY BRILLIANT!
Other: READ THIS! It has action, fantasy, magic, and a bit of romance. Also, there is a second book, Rebel Angels, which is EXTREMELY wicked, and then the awaited The Sweet Far Thing, will be coming out next year.

Name of book: Alyzon Whitestarr

Author: Isobelle Carmody

Blurb: Alyzon Whitestarr thinks of herself as more white mouse than star, until something happens that heightens her senses, enabling her to smell people's feelings, perceive their essences, and see flashes of their lives. She is shaken to discover that some people's spirits are afflicted by a strange and ravenous disease which is both sentient and hungry for new hosts. Seeking to learn how the disease is transmitted, Alyzon's investigations lead her to a mysterious entrepreneur, a secretive group of young people with a habit of violence, and ultimately back to her own beloved family, where she will learn a shattering truth about the world... Then Alyzon realises that, just as she can perceive the sickness, so the sickness can perceive her...

Rating: 5 out of 5!

What I thought: This book is absolutely amazing! It's a bit weird sometimes, particularly in the prologue, but that's one of the things that makes it so fantastic. You HAVE to read this. I made my friend read it after she was saying it looked too weird, and she fell in love with it too. I also think it would be a good movie.

Other: The author also wrote the Obernewtyn Chronicles, which I haven't read, but are supposedly really good.
