New Nook???
I am deciding...do I do I not,do I Do I not need a new ereader and if SO does it have to remain a NOOK??
I love my nook.I do love the Ipad but seriously,I dislike the backlit Lcd,talk about TOO much light for staring and reading for hours!It has a decent battery life(more so than nook color) esp when I turn off wifi and bluetooth which I am using RIGHT now,and have been for hours and the battery IS STILL at 83%.I say buy the IPAD vs the NOOK COLOR ANYDAY....but some like the smaller screen.Nook Color IMO is NOT technically an e reader.Its a tablet.TWO VERY different things.Its an awesome Tablet that promotes Ebooks after Ebooks!I am sure I'd love that too,lol,but Since I prefer reading with regular Paper lookalike /novel lookalike,the Nook is my Gig.
KIndle.There is a new Kindle coming out.I wonder wth??Its probably a tablet.Id LOVE if they came out with a tablet/eink Hybrid.You can turn off the Lcd/color and put on EINK at will...That imo is the future!!I'd be SOLD on that!!
Im debating on what to read next?I'm able to blog again thanks to the ZAGGMATE Keyboard that I got and I LOVE it!!!Yes,I love my gadgets.I have a cute Skin on it,and top it off,I'm looking for an IPAD skin,Or invisisheield<3
Ill be back later....Im on a Reading Goal.I Have to try to read 200 e books.I can read some books in a day sooooo tech ically I should do it!!
OH,somebody selling a Kindle,offered to sell for 80$.If he sells it,and in excellent condition for 50$..I may consider.Why would I pay that if i can get a new one for 20$ more DUR!

Boys That Bite by Mary Mancusi
Boys that Bite by Mari MancusiMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I Laughed and giggled through this book,Mary Mancusi knows the Mind of a teenage girl very well in this series.Here are two twins(rayne and sunny)...Ok,weird but it was enjoyable and recommended for YA thoroughly.I am an adult and paved through the book,and found the story cute,funny,and romantic.
Sunny became a vamp accidentally because Mag bit her instead of Rayne in a Goth Club.Sunny who is the disposition of a girly girl,pretty teen isnt too thrilled about the prospect of being a vampire.She is told that she can get it reversed by traveling to England and get drops of Blood from the Holy Grail,etc.etc..i don't want to give the whole book away but don't put it down because of the YA prospect of it.This is indeed YA,cute an d FUNNY!!!
Im actually getting into the series.I'm usually in much darker series,and mix YA along with regular adult Paranormal books,Romance,etc..I read every genre if it captivates me.:) AND this book did get my attention:)
Enjoy!!

DEMON GLASS..HEX HALLS SECOND SERIES
This is a FAVORITE.....
Demonglass picks up shortly after Hex Hall left off. Sophie Mercer attends Hecate Hall ,or Hex Hall as the students have come to call it; a school for delinquent Prodigium (witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, and faeries) who have had trouble controlling their powers.
In Demonglass, Sophie has decided to go through the Removal after discovering that she is a demon, not a witch like she always thought. The problem is that demons are rare (Sophie and her father are the only ones currently in existence) and volatile. Sophie has seen first hand what can happen if a demon goes rogue and she refuses to risk hurting anyone she loves. The Removal is the only guaranteed solution. It will strip her of all of her powers but it will leave her covered in purple tattoo like marks and could also end her life.
Now Sophie is off to London, with Cal (who I might add is delicious)and Jenna (her vampire best friend) in tow, to spend the summer with her Dad. He is determined to prove to her that the Removal is not her only option. If only that was her only dilemma. It turns out that Archer Cross, her former classmate and crush is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth. Sophie hasn’t seen him since she discovered his secret and he fled Hecate. But rumors say he has been spotted in London…
The Eye has always been a concern for Prodigium. But with the discovery that someone is raising new demons, the Eye have become more aggressive then ever. A war is brewing and the ones responsible may be closer then they think.
Demonglass was fantastic! This installment is packed with new information and new riddles. Some family secrets are unveiled as well. Although I will admit that Rachel Hawkins doesn’t actually come out and tell you the last big revelation but I think you’ll know. And what YA book is complete without a little love triangle action? Cal really starts to become a contender for Sophie’s affections in Demonglass. I’m still rooting for Archer though ;-) Hex Hall #3 should be out spring of 2012. It will be a long wait but will you can bet I will be picking it up as soon as it hits the shelves......yessssssssssssssss

Hex Hall!!!
Hex Hall by Rachel HawkinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was Very Very good..Sophie must go to a reform school *hehe* her father is head of counsel.She meets a bunch of people(elodie and her witches) that want her to join their "coven".There is Archer Cross,who winds up being a big part of this novel.Jenna,her Vamp BFF..I can go on and on but don't want to add spoilers.This is such an EASY EASY read,I finished it happily in one day.The second Book,on the second day(another review).
I really LOVED this book,I was mislead.I thought it was going to be overly typical but no,it pleasantly surprised me and the teachers REALLY cracked me up!!GREAT JOB Ms Hawkins(writer)!!!I'm a fan of your work now!!SO PLEASE get the 3rd series out!!lol

Discovery of Witches
A Discovery of Witches: A Novel by Deborah HarknessMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.
Ok,I read two books after writing this,but this book was LONG!!It was a little bit dragging in the beginning.I loved the middle to the ending.Mattthew is awesome,and the Vamps are what I would expect them to be like.In this book,there are Witches,Vampires,and Daemons and this Transcript to be found.I love the ending and cant wait now till second part of the series!!!Overall,it was an interesting read.I recommend to my friends,with caution,If you're looking for a book,thats quick and easy to read in one day....this is not the book.:)
I'm amazed.That sums it up!!
