Since they are all the latest graduates of high school ,they all are now entering uni, college or work. Unlike me, I have been in college for 6 months now and only two units of work away from graduation. Once I graduate I will be going onto more study, don't know what yet. <br />
<br />
But I have gotten all my busy bee friends to agree to go to a movie with me.<br />

We have decided since Maria V Snyder is releasing her new book soon we would give away 1 possibly 2 copies of "Touch of power". To enter this competition you must answer 40 quick questions based on her 8 other books. The person with the most amount of question right will win a copy of "Touch of Power" and a book mark, If we decided to give away two books the runner up will get a book.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>This competition will start on the 1st of December and run until the 20th of December. I will give you clues and links to quotes of the book that may help. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Let us know what you think of this idea. Sadly this competition will only be available in AUS, but I will talk to Kath about doing another Burn Bright Give away to the USA. </div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">We welcome back some of our favorite characters in If I Die, the 5th book in the Soul Screamers Series. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The cover doesn't reveal to much into the book, it is simple as are the others in this series. The color is green for this book, the contrast between black and green is an amazing sight giving this just as amazing cover to lust over while we read our copy's of If I Die. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Blurb Reads:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>The entire school's talking about the gorgeous new math teacher, Mr Beck. That is, everyone except Kaylee Cavanaugh. After all, Kaylee's no ordinary high-school junior. She's a banshee - she screams when someone dies. </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>But the next scream might be for Kaylee.</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Yeah - it's a shock to her, too. So to distract herself, Kaylee's going to save every girl in school. Because that hoe new teacher is really an incubus who feeds on the desire of unsuspecting students. The only girls immune to his lure are Kaylee and Sabine - her boyfriend's needy ex-girlfriend. Now the unlikely allies have to get rid of Mr Beck before he discovers they aren't quite human, either. </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>But Kaylee's borrowed lifeline is nearing its end. And those who care about her will do anything to save her life. Anything. </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Wow. A blurb like that draws a reader in, especially if they are already drawn in by the previous books of this series so far. The blurb tells you the story line and not what happens to the character. Very well written and this will draw in more readers. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We all know our characters so well. Guess what that is changing. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Kaylee, dose things I would expect from Sabine. Giving her a time line on life changers her view of life and what she should be doing.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Nash. Well Nash is still the same but he dose stray from his path. Seeing this side of Nash and they way he acts in the book is different from the way we normally see him.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Sabine. She befriends her enemy and saves the day. Sabine shows a nicer (note nicer not nice) side in this book. Like this change.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Tod. Boy oh boy. Tod is good at appearing when he is and isn't wanted but this time it saves some other characters from doing something they will in the future would have regretted. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The start, the middle and the jaw dropping end of this book are all amazing. Twist and turns you would not see coming. Huge changes happen and the end is just so cliff hanger! A very well written and captivating book. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">This book and series is a MUST read, I highly recommend these books.</div><div style="text-align: left;">5/5</div><div style="text-align: left;">xxTaneeka</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Part of college work is to do a make believe advisement and event. So for my event I'm doing a make believe book signing in my make believe store, one of the things I will have at my event is t-shirts. I get to do designs and everything.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>That is one on my designs I have created, nothing exciting but I kind of like it. I will be making so many more than this one, but I just wanted you to see what i have been up to lately...<div><br />
</div><div>I have reviews I want to post up so I will do that as soon as I can. I will have 3 or 4 to give you. so go have a fun day of reading or making shirts or something productive...</div><div><br />

<br />
So today I am going to tell you all about the book-fest on Monday, but extra special fact it that Kath is here and going to blog as well.<br />
<br />
Monday was fun, waking up at 3 in the morning to come back from camping and then getting home at 6. Than cleaning and unpacking my little bag passed the time until Miss Kath got to my place.<br />
<br />
So we then head of to the book fest while trying to force ourselves to give each other a budget and NOT buy a MILLION books (which we did any way). As per usual we walked and people watched, funny things humans are.<br />
<br />
We walk in the doors, and BAM it was like they knew us. Interesting conversation.<br />
<br />
Man: Hello ladies, did you know it as fill a bag for $5<br />
Us: *look at each other and evil grin*<br />
Me: Really?<br />
Kath: (i think there was a happy dance)<br />
Man: I can sell you ladies a bag for $2<br />
Me: Ill take 2 please<br />
Man: *hands over bag*<br />
Us: *run around crazy picking up books*<br />
<br />
While looking at the paper back we found at least 25 copy's of The Davinci Code. Also as we all know Christmas is like 3 months away so I got my mum about 10 Danielle Steel books.<br />
<br />
Kath disappeared to the kiddies section and spent most of her time there searching for goosebumps, The baby sitters club The baby sitters little sister and R.L Stine.<br />
<br />
So after a little while there (about 2 hours) and 4 over filled bags later we decide to leave. That was a problem, the bus was a long walk up a hill to the bus and the bag were abut 10kg each. So we were smart and got a taxi. The not so smart part was how we put the books in the back, as soon as we turned the corner the all feel over and went every were in the back of the taxi.<br />
<br />
Finally getting home, the next problem was where are we going to put them and for Kath how to get them to her house, those problems are both still around. Any suggestions???<br />
<br />
Now we are off to try and find homes for our new piles of books.<br />

A simple yet eye catching cover like this one will make the book buyer stop and discover the awesome world within the pages of this book.<br />
<br />
Besides the cover the blurb is also mysterious, It gives you light into the book yet leaves you wanting to read more and find out what happen to Mary and the village she lives in. The blurb opens your imagination to what could be in this book love, loss, life and death.<br />
<br />
Mary has to face battles and loss more than any one her age should have to, being surrounded by the forest of hands and teeth makes it all the harder. Losing everything she was raised with is hard, but having every truth you have ever known start to come apart is worse. Facing loss and death of every thing is bearable with love, but will it be enough for Mary?<br />
<br />
In this book we follow the journey of Mary, she has everything to live for and mysterious ocean she one day wishes to find. But one day her world is turned up side down and her dreams are put on hold to help her friends while her ocean never leaves her mind.<br />
<br />
This book was not what you think it would be, it was so much better. The story line of this book is well written and easy to follow. You felt the emotions and pain the characters did it was that good.<br />
<br />
A really good book and one you should read.<br />
4 / 5<br />
I recommend this book ti all YA fans and people that like zombies. This book was not what I would normally read but I was quite taken with this series. I plan on reading the rest of the books.<br />

<br />
Yesterday I went to college, it takes 90 minutes by public transport to get there and another 90 minutes home. But yesterday was a little fun, I had to go to <a href="http://www.dymocks.com.au/">dymocks</a> and pick up a book I won on twitter.<br />
<br />
How did I win? Well it was simple <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/dymocksbrisbane">@dymocksbrisbane</a> asked people to tell them what mythical power I would learn: Magick, Fire or Poison? I answered " I would want to learn poison as most of the time today it is a forgotten art" and that won me a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Harlequin-Teen-Maria-Snyder/dp/037321006X?ie=UTF8&tag=widgetsamazon-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Inside Out (Harlequin Teen)</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=widgetsamazon-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=037321006X" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> by Maria V Snyder.<br />
<br />
The fun part of finding the book shop was getting lost and trying to find my way around. I finally found the book shop and got my book, then off to the station I went. As soon as I sat down I started reading.<br />
<br />
As I have read all other books written by Maria V Snyder (except Outside In), I am totally in love with all her books. While I was at Dymocks getting my book I reserved seats for her book signing in Brisbane (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=247226821962201">Details Here</a>) So Kathleen and I now how our spots saved for use.<br />
<br />
Today I finished "Inside Out", OH MY GOD totally love it, cant wait until tomorrow when I get "Outside In". I will be debating if I will be buying a second copy of Passion to get signed as a give away in the future it all depends.<br />
<br />
Have you read Inside Out??? If you have let me know what you all thought of it, or if you have read any other books by Maria V Snyder what do you think of them???<br />

I think I will do a review every three days. That leaves me plenty of time to read and review a book with time to spare.<br />
<br />
Today I also had to go down to the shopping center with my mum, she wanted a hair cut and lucky for me the hairdressers is right next to <a href="http://www.qbd.com.au/">QBD</a> the book shop. She sit in her chair and I disappear of course into the book shop. I have listed three simple steps my mother fails to follow.<br />
<br />
First of all no one should let me near a book shop while they are having a birthday sale.<br />
Second if you do let me go please take all money out of my possession.<br />
Third if you don't do either of the above be ready for this teen age book worm to stay up all weekend reading and as you failed the previous two step you have lost all right to complain.<br />
<br />
Today I only left the store with 5 books. Woo I kind of proud of my self for finding this little bargain. All five books came as a set I got:<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Slayer-Chronicles-First-Kill/dp/0803737416?ie=UTF8&tag=widgetsamazon-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0803737416&tag=widgetsamazon-20" /></a>First Kill has a simple cover, yet it shows that this book has a connection with the Vladimir Tod series, it also gives you an insight into the age group the book is suited for.<br />
<br />
The blurb is well written in the way it gives you a little perspective into the story line and the setting of the book. Reading the blurb lets you understand the background of Joss a little more, it also leaves you wanting more details of the past and future for Joss McMillan as he discovers his family heritage and learns how to avenge a death that haunts his dreams.<br />
<br />
In this book you will follow the journey of Joss whom is leading an innocent life away from all bad, until one night he witnesses his sisters murder. Then for the next three years his sister haunts his dreams looking for peace and justice for her death.<br />
<br />
Joss McMillan is only 10 years old when his story starts, He is a strong boy who has a stubborn streak that makes him the bigger and stronger young man we come to love by the end of the book. Joss faces many challenges from his family and other people whom he trains and works with, he also struggles with the loss of his sister, the fact she still haunts him every time he sleeps but that just fuels his fire to fight and find justice. After getting in fights, surviving ordeals that most of us wouldn't and then getting up and still facing his future, Joss is a strong character and very well built, Aunt Heather did very good work writing his character.<br />
<br />
Abraham McMillan is a new to the pages. He is Joss's uncle, he seems like a person you don't to know or talk to but you really can't pick your family. Looking out for your family in the slayer business makes you seem like a butt. Abraham is a good teacher and can teach a lesson without words. He will surprise you in the book (totally surprise you)<br />
<br />
Sirus, *sigh* what to say, wow. so Sirus is really sweet, he is a caretaker or medic which ever you prefer. Got a cut Sirus will fix it, Been beaten up in hand-to-hand combat Sirus will fix it or half dead and need rest Sirus will save you. Sirus is so cool yet so evil, he is nice and sweet and even a dad but he has his secrets (gasp worth).<br />
<br />
There are other slayers in the book but ill let you meet them yourself.<br />
<br />
At the start of the book meeting Joss as a young boy and a older brother while we end the book with him a young and growing man and an only child.<br />
<br />
I rate this book<br />
5/5<br />
I recommend this book<br />
To any one who likes vampire books or had read the Vladimir Tod books, it is a really good read so go pre-order your copy now before some vampire bites you and you become a drudge (so kinda not cool).<br />
<br />
So that is my review, let me know what you think<br />

I will be reading this book tonight and reviewing it tomorrow.<br />

I do not know if they are keeping that cover but it is pretty cool. (picture left) The few book sights I have looked at all have the same picture so I do truly think they are keeping the cover. *claps in delight*<br />
<br />
You can pre-order your copy at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Slayer-Chronicles-First-Kill/dp/0803737416?ie=UTF8&tag=widgetsamazon-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">amazon</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=widgetsamazon-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0803737416" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> or any good book store (I assume).<br />
<br />
I would be reading it right now but I have to get my college work done *gives text book evils*.<br />
<br />
Must read this book before I sleep tonight, sleep is important yes I know. But gaining knowledge by reading books is just something that is the up most importance, well it is to me any way.<br />
<br />
Other than that I have two book signings I am attending in August, I think I might make a events page. Events I have been to or will be attending in the future. *writes that on the to do list*<br />
<br />
Maria V Snyder on the 5th of August.<br />
<br />
Lauren Kate on the 7th of August.<br />
<br />
Both events will involve my best friend and I traveling to different locations, catching trains and then buses. Also coffee, home made chocolate chip cookies and of course books. See perfect days ahead.<br />
<br />
Now I am off to work on my college work and try to figure out why in all of the world did I decided to study a Diploma of Business with out studying the certificates first.<br />

Quote by me.

I have been to a whole two this year, I would make it more but no one comes to QLD. VIC and NSW seem to be more popular than good old QLD.<br />
<br />
WHY oh WHY? I truly have no idea and that saddens my heart that I can't just hop on a plane and go down for a book signing *sigh*.<br />
<br />
Good news though I will be able to attend the Lauren Kate book signing on the 6th of August, I will also be taking my best friend Kath with me. As the sad fact she has not been to a book signing before :S I know I'm shocked to.<br />
<br />
Now I must get back to my college work or it will never get done and I shall not be aloud to attend the book signing.<br />
<br />
Keep Reading<br />
