I PEEPS at your TWILIGHT and it was UGLIES







As my first blog I thought I would write about a few books I've read recently. As most people know the Twilight series have become a huge machine. I am happy to say that I did reading Twilight before the series really took off. A great book by my standards but I love to read and very rarely find something I don't like. I never thought I would like a vampire novel. I am just not a vampire type person per se, well I wasn't until recently. It wasn't the dreamy heart throb that changed my mind either. It was the dichotomy of good vs evil, mortality vs immortality, and human vs inhuman. A story that's basically set in the real world with this fantasy spin really appealed to me. The characters as well were intriguing. a human girl who is by all rights an outsider and uniquely spirited, a vampire trying so hard to be good that he hates everything about himself, and a werewolf that is all about loving life. put the three together and how and you not come out with a hit? for me it is a page turner. read it I think you'll like it.



Uglies is a series by Scott Westerfeld. thought provoking and intriguing. In a would after ours has fallen everyone is pretty. but is being pretty a good thing? funny and serious at the same time the author creates a world that in some ways is even more messed up than ours.



Peeps also written by Scott Westerfeld (I've read almost all of his books and love them) I start reading this book after my sister who never reads read it. for her it was alittle slow but I couldn't put it down. it was fast passed and funny to the core.



I haven't given any of these books Justice it's been a few months since I've read them so I'll probably write about them again and tell you a little more about them but I'll end saying this. Young Adult books are not just for teens.. Believe me Adults will love them too.
