Divergent

Well, I got Divergent from the library and read it today. 
And you know something? I'll never think the same of chocolate cake again. Or the number 4. Or the colors grey and black. Or jumping. Or guns. Or needles.
 Lol, i could keep going on and on if i wanted too xD
In other words; I really liked it. Veronica Roth did a really good job.
There was a little to much using the Lords name in vain and kissing/mushy stuff for my taste, but that aside it is one of  the best books I've ever read. Like, ever.
I can't even explain how i feel about the book.

Tris was awesome. Tobias was perfect. Will was adorable and I'm REALLY not happy that he died. 
I cried over Al. Christina wasn't my favorite but she was okay. 
Uriah was hilarious (I laughed so hard at the zipline part xD)!!! Caleb was pretty cool. I wanted to choke Eric. And then Tori. Ah. Now that's a character i really enjoyed. She seems so strong.
Also, I really loved Tris's Mom. That is the kind of character you mourn for, but you know that she died bravely and then you're not so sad. It makes you look up to her.


I can't wait to read the next book. Which I still am waiting for to come in on hold. 

Well, I def' think this is an older read, maybe 13+ just because of how much kissing and other content was in it. But i really enjoyed the adventure.

"That's my girl! Tough as cotton balls." ~Will
"I might go, if there was cake." ~Four
"I am Brave." ~Tris
Okay! Latter gators!

Teleportation, sad-ish, book work and I need your guys help.

Okay:) I'm back again! wow three posts in two days... whats with me? Am i finally ready to bring you guys the exciting blogger I've been trying to be? Haha, we'll see:)

So first off is the matter of Teteportation:
Yesterday i was texting with my best friend Silence (you can check out her AG blog here) and somehow the idea of Teleporting came up in our conversation.
See, we've only met once in our lives and have stayed friends for the last 4 (or 5... i can't remember) years. We live 4 hours away from each other and never get to meet up.  Sad, huh? yeah.
So we thought about how extremely awesome it would be if we could Teleport. We could visit each other every day! we could just POP up for lunch and sleepovers and we could travel the world FOR FREE! You don't have to buy any food because you could just zip back home for lunch.
HEY! I just realized! I could meet you guys!!!!!!!!  How cool would that be? Pretty fantastic, right?

Okayyyyy next comes... sadness.
1) I read Codebearers and I really liked the character Sam. Like he was the coolest dude ever. Then I find out he died. Oh my poor heart! Yet another heroic death of my favorite character:( I'm doomed to the fate of living with my favorites dying:'(
2) our school computer broke down and there was a book my sister Allison and I were writing and now it's lost:( no kidding we've been working on it for 2 years.
3)I need to rewrite and finish that spy book staring most of you. It's a disaster area.

Okay moving along to book work:)
1) I rewrote a horrible plot and turned it into a AMAZING adventure! I'll try to get it done soon so y'all can read it:D
2) I really need to fix up that spy book. The plot kept changing and things kept happening all confused and I forgot to make a bad guy. I know! How does one forget them?! Well, I can and did. So, I need to make a terrifyingly smart crazy bad guy. And I need a name for him.

Alrighty!!! Now I need your help! Please tell me about a good book or series that I can read! I've read almost all of the good books at our library and now I need recommendations for some killer reading material. Please will ya help? It'd be awesome if you did:D

Well, I gotta go but please pop in and comment me some of your favorite books:)

Signing off,
Maddie

Books and Music<3

So I'm reading a FANTASTIC new series that I'm pretty sure at least three of you have read.
Rangers Apprentice. 
Oh yeah.  I practically devoured the first two and I have books 3 and 4 on hold. I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!!!  The only problem is that it does use 'the D word' a few times and it does sometimes uses the Lords name in vain.
When I first started reading book 1 I was a little unsure that I would like it. I know, I know. If I like LOVE Lord Of The Rings and Knights Of The Round Table why wouldn't I like this series? I don't know. I don't know what in the world I was thinking! It's amazing!
I'm going to be honest and say that in the beginning of book 1, I HATED Horace. I honestly can't believe I felt like that. And I think my favorite of favorites is Halt. I love that he's so serious. I love that he's humble. And I adore the relationship he has with Will. I love that Will means so much to him. And yes, Will is awesome too:D he's just so awesome I can't pick out what I love most about his character!

The next series I'm going to read is.............
Codebearers.
I've been wanting to read this for a while now after I kept seeing it show up in comments or blog posts. I'm going to start book 1 tonight:)

Honestly over the last couple months I've realized how much reading really does mean to me. It's like a spoonful of sugar after a taste of life's medicine;)

I've also realized how much music means to me now. I randomly realized the other day that I can't write without listening to something. I can't do schoolwork without it. I know it's really strange:-/ but it really has been a thing lately:)
That's why I've got a whole pile of CD's on hold at the library too! Taylor Swift, One Direction, Owl City, Hunter Hayes, Britt Nicole and I tried to look for an Ed Sheeran CD but my library doesn't have one:-/ I need to find some CD's by Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe, Toby Mac and.... I can't remember his name! Ugh! I'll tell you if I remember:P

Whale..... I'm gonna go and bury myself in a Codebearers book;D

LATER GATORS!!!
