Book Update - The Girl From the Well

Title: The Girl From the Well

Author: Rin Chupeco

Goodreads

A dead girl walks the streets. She hunts murderers. Child killers, much like the man who threw her body down a well three hundred years ago. And when a strange boy bearing stranger tattoos moves into the neighborhood so, she discovers, does something else. And soon both will be drawn into the world of eerie doll rituals and dark Shinto exorcisms that will take them from American suburbia to the remote valleys and shrines of Aomori, Japan. Because the boy has a terrifying secret - one that would just kill to get out.

       Hello guys! Arenite here! So today, I am not going to do a review because I have not had time to actually finish the book. I was extremely busy with school stuff and I only managed to read a bit of the book. I am just going to do a update, which means that this blog post will be like a journal for my feelings about this book. So far, the book is starting to really creep me out, which is a good thing because not many horror/paranormal books make me feel like that. I would think that the main character, is a good person as she kills of the murders of dead children, but I feel like that it is not going to be this was and she will turn into a villain. To prove my point further, she meets this dude that she really likes and I feel like she might do something wrong or the boy might convince her to do something wrong. Even though she is dead and the boy is alive. The boy is probably one of those "special" people that are able to see her, as someone did in the beginning and they completely freaked out. I mean I would too if I saw a ghost in the middle of the street. Thats about what I read so far (I know right, pretty sad).

Book Review: The Impossible Knife of Memory

Title: The Impossible Knife of Memory

Author: Laurie Halse Anderson

Publisher: Viking Books

Publishing on: January 7h 2014

Goodreads

For the past five years, Hayley Kincain and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is hiding secrets of his own. Will being back home help Andy’s PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to put down.

My Thoughts 

  The beginning of the book did not grasp my attention, but when the introduced Finn, the book got very interesting. I have to say that Hailey's best friend is someone that I would definitely not want as a friend. Gracie shared all her problems with Hailey and comforted her, yet Gracie was oblivious to Hailey's problems. I liked the way that the author had included the Andy's PSTD memories in the book. Although, some parts were interesting, the book failed to grab my attention throughout the story. I thought that the ending was a bit bland and it could have had a bit more suspense/detail. The reason I bought the book was because I absolutely loved Speak,  but I was a bit disappointed with this book.

Favorite Quote Friday #1

Favorite Quote Friday is a meme hosted at We The Trilogy. Every Friday we talk about a quote that means a great deal to us. 

 Hello everyone, Arenite here! Today I will be taking about a quote from the book, Fahrenheit 451. The book was quite inspirational and I thought that I would share my favorite quote from it with all of you guys. 

Quote: “The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” 

This quote is truly magical, if put in the simplest terms. The quote explains what we as readers often feel while reading. This is something that I might want to have tattooed on my arm. Just kidding, I am not as daring as Rin. Nonetheless, I still love this quote.

Brimming with heartfelt relationships and authentic high-school dynamics The Start of Me and You proves that it’s never too late for second chances. It’s been a year since it happened—when Paige Hancock’s first boyfriend died in an accident. After shutting out the world for two years, Paige is finally ready for a second chance at high school . . . and she has a plan. First: Get her old crush, Ryan Chase, to date her—the perfect way to convince everyone she’s back to normal. Next: Join a club—simple, it’s high school after all. But when Ryan’s sweet, nerdy cousin, Max, moves to town and recruits Paige for the Quiz Bowl team (of all things!) her perfect plan is thrown for a serious loop. Will Paige be able to face her fears and finally open herself up to the life she was meant to live?
