Hi you guys! I've been watching a LOT of TV lately, so you know what that means! Of course, it can only mean that I have been keeping up with my fave shows this year. I'm gonna be so sad when it's time for them to go off air for the season.
Up first is Graceland, which is nearing it's season finale! ***SPOILER ALERT***The last episode was explosive. Briggs finally decides to confide in someone, and that person is DJ, and, fearing for his conviction, runs far away, but the evidence he was certain that Mike was going to find was already disposed of. That means that they can't convict Briggs yet, but him running isn't the most innocent seeming thing ever. Who is working to keep Briggs safe? Who is working against him? I think the big question here is if that Federale is legit. According to the next show preview, he is Jangles!
Second up is Pretty Little Liars, which has been extremely explosive, but I am pretty sure has come to an end for the season. Cece Drake is acting as Ali, but when Ezra showed up in A's lair, I still don't think he was A. If he really is, I'm gonna stop watching it, cause that is taking it tooooo far, my friends.
Next we have, (don't freak out, yet) Under the Dome!!! Woo-hoo! It's gotten a little weird, but I think overall it has been much better. Plus, right now I hate Big Jim for turning everyone against Barbie. According to the book, Barbie is supposed to be leader appointed by the military, so I guess he probably is the one who the aliens, and it is definitely aliens, want to rule. But they need Big Jim Shady out of the way first. I def think Angie, Joe, Junior, and that other girl, who I have now deemed the Magic Four, should take care of that problem... But i have a feeling they won't. The dome is probs gonna take him out. Ouch. It's gonna hurt, too. But I'm not sure; Angie is willing to do anything to get the dome, which I'm pretty sure is actually a sphere, to come down faster. I'm glad Max is gone, too. That was one good thing Jim did, but now he's gonna have to pay. Barbie might end up taking care of him, instead. He was, after all, a hit man for her. He's got the skills, for sure.
SOOOOOO, now I shall move on to the book section! Thank goodness for Kindle, because that means I get the books the day they come out, YAY! Recently, I polished off a couple of fiction books, but besides that, due to the number of science and math courses I plan to take before high school is over, I'm trying to move into a new genre: informational science books. Woo-to-the-flipping-hoo. It was my idea, and I'm still sticking to it, but Gosh if it isn't time consuming and hard to care about. But anyways, I'll save you guys that torture, but I will tell u what I'm trying to swim through like Jell-O.
First, I read a book about Nikola Tesla, called Imagination and the Man who Invented the 21st Century. Now it's The Disappearing Spoon, a book about the periodic table of elements, and in depth research on each one, written by Sam Kean. It's pretty good, though. Just kind of deep reading.
Also, in the fiction department, I've been keeping up with my Dante Walker. Liberator, the next book in the series, is pretty awesome right up until the end, when we find out that Charlie is pretty much destined to go live with Lucille forever, boo. That part sucked, but I sure hope there is a happy ending in the next book that will come along. I feel like a lot happened, but not the way it should have, but all in the author's plan, I'm assured. I can't wait to see how the wonderful Victoria Scott ties the final knot in the bow on the wrapping on this series.
Also, a great great great new book in The Covenant series! Thank you Jennifer Armentrout, I hope you keep writing till you can't write no more. The girl knows how to write a good paranormal/science fiction romance, and I hate that I have to wait for another book to come out before I get to the end! Jennifer reaches out to you and brings you into the world of the characters, which is exactly what I look for in my reading.
Also from the marvelous Jen is another book in the Lux series, which is very intense, what with Kat being captured and *super spoiler* Daemon turning himself in to be with her! The origins are awesome, as well, and Bethany getting ready to give birth to one is too much to handle! The luxen end up exposing themselves to get away from the DOD, and those pesky world-taker-overers think it was all to their benefit. They show up at the very very end and I'm pretty sure it is bad bad news. I can't wait to see how they get out of this mess in the next installment of the series!
Next, a book in the Taking series! It was a bit lacking, but satisfying enough. The ending was very surprising, because it turns out *spoiler* bringing all the healed humans and aliens to earth was pretty much a SETUP!!!!?? That part confused me, but in the end (prepare for Nickelback reference) it doesn't even matter; I'm still hooked and want to find out what happens.
Also, I need to need to need to (triple phrasing intended as to emphasize importance) get my hands on the next book in a new series I just read the first of called the (I guess) Archived series. It is so amazing, a fresh take on the paranormal, with a story line and characters that can not be rivaled. It was definitely a hard book to get into in the first couple chapters, but when that action started, man, I couldn't put that sucker down to save my life. I can not wait at all like sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book to be released while I'm trying to find another book that can even attempt to compare.
Which leads me to my next book, which is a rare single! But when you find out who wrote it, I guess you will understand why it was good. It was a book written by none other than Jennifer Echols! It is about a m as magical book with a lot of twists and turns and a very odd surprise at the end, but it is a page turner and worth every penny. I wish it was a series cause it would be kick butt good.
I also read another really good book about Alice in Wonderland, and it is the most amazing twisted "what happened after wonderland" book ever. It is about a girl who is cursed by a family tie to Wonderland, driving her mother insane and herself into the depths of the underground realm of terror and tests that lead to her finding her true place in the world: to be the Red Queen. Accompanied by Hotty McHotness best friend throughout the journey, who ends up sacrificing himself for her, she is able to redeem him in the end and achieve happy ever after, but not without turning her whole world upside down to find the truth first. It was amazing, action packed, nightmare inducing, and beautiful all at the same time. This Wonderland single, Splintered, by A. G. Howard, who must be a genius, is destined to be a classic.
In other news, I can not wait to dive into the scary gray scale world of Ravenswood this October, as I'm sure it will be a mystery thriller but won't have much to do with Rosewood except sharing a few characters here and there. But all in all, I bet it'll be good. And dark. It will definitely be dark.
So that's about all for today's blog. I think I found a new forever phone, the Motorola RAZR M. It's different, but better. Definitely better than the craptastic one I had last week. So, yeah, that's about all. Now that I have the phones settled and am kind of settling into the motions of school, I hope I get to blog some more. I was asked by a reader a while back when I was gonna blog again, and I felt really bad that I didn't know because it had been so long. But I hope I don't have to make you guys wait any longer, and can at least do a once-a-week thing from now until whenever. So it was good blogging you guys! Oh, and if you have XM radio, check out the Pulse on channel 15!
