I hope you do not mind my adding some comments, coming to you from Concord, NH–from a MS Librarian who’s also known as “Mrs. R” or Mrs. R-E.
I too am eagerly awaiting Stephanie Meyer’s, “Eclipse” to get more of the romance between Bella and Edward. As Meyer’s t-shirt slogan says, “Only a vampire can love you forever”. I’ve never been a fan of typical vampire books, but the fact that Meyer’s characters are so likeable, and the romance is not typical but full of unresolved tension, well enough said. Also our Edward and family is not the enemy and not as frightening because their drink of choice is not human but animal…but then again–what will Edward to about Bella? P.S. There are several soon to be freshmen here who also can’t wait for this final book! And is the movie still in the works?

Aurelia never wnats to go back and leaves after Brute is gone. A few months later Aurelai goes to her cousin, Marcus’ house and she takes boots with bOots escapes and his keeper is sent to fight Brute. You’ll have to read the book to find out the ending.

I have been reading a series called Cirque Du Freak. I have read the 1st one and it got me hooked! The 1st book is about a young boy named Darren Shan he is a regular boy but him and his friend Steve find a flyer in Steve’s brothers room, its about a freak show. So they show it to all their friends and of course all of them want to go but the buyer can only buy two tickets. So Steve Buys the 2 tickets and he keeps one then he throws one in the air and the one that catches it gets to go with him. Darren Cactches it and that night he goes with Steve to the Show.

It Starts at 12 a.m so they snuck out of their houses and met at a broken down buliding and to Darrens suprise the show is in there. The show started with the bearded lady and stuff like that but then there was this one act that caught Darrens attencion and it was Maddam Octa she is a very big and posionous spider but her “controler” was Mr. Creepsly.
And he would do tricks like she would wound a web across his face and stuff like that. Then the act was over and Darren LOVES Spiders and he wanted to have Maddam Octa, but Darren went to whisper something into Steves ear but his eyes were fixed on Mr. Creepsly until he left the stage. And Darren asked him about this and he said that he knew Mr.Creepsly.

The show was over and Darren was leaving but then Steve said that he wanted to stay and he told Darren that he needed to go home and that he will catch up with him later. Darren said that he would go but he sayed in the building. He looked at where Steve was and he was talking to Mr.Creepsly and saying stuff that he was a vampire and that he wanted to become his assistant. And Mr. Creepsly said ok but he needed to test his blood. And he did and he spat it out and yells “BAD BLOOD” and Steve said that he will grow up to be a vampire hunter and kill him. And Darren is scarred up in the balcany.

The next couple of weeks at school Darren avoids Steve then Steve comes to Darrens House and he asks him way have you been avoiding me and darren says that he saw him and Mr. Creepsly called him EVIL. And Steve gets mad and he pins him to his bed and yells him and say that he is evil and all that stuff. And then he gets off of him and he storms off.

That night Darren Goes to that building and he goes to the basement and he steals maddam Octa and he leaves a note on the vampires coffin and it says that ” I stole your spider and dont come back for her or ill kill her and ill kill you Steve Leanord” And Darren takes her and he teaches her to do tricks on his mouth and stuff.

A few weeks later Steve comes back to Darrens house to apologize. And he came to his room and he did then Darren shows Steve maddam Octa and he does some tricks on steve but his sister walks in but then at that momment maddam octa bit steve and he colapsed and Darren caught the Spider and he told his sister not to say anything. And they make it look like a bee has stung him.

He has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks and the docters have been researching but they cant find any anit-venom for it. So Darrens sister had told Darren that if steve was gunna die she was going tell that it was a spider. And Darren went to the old building and he looked for the vampire and he had asked him for the anti-venom but the vampire had said that he wants darren to become his assisant or Steve dies. And Darren said yes. He cut the edge of his finger nails and darrens then put them together and “bloods” him only a little bit though or else he would become a full-vampire. Then they go to the hospital and put the anti venom in the iv.

And steve gets better. But Darren had run away from Mr. creepsly and he had almost bit his sister on the neck FOR BLOOD!!!! So He went back to the building and he told him what he had almost done. And he said that that will keep on happening if he doesnt want to come with him and he said that he will go with him now. But they have to stage his death so they wont be suspsous. The Vampire throws him out of the window but brakes his neck so he wont die and he madfe Darren drink this potion that made his heart beat so low that they cant hear it. And they had a funeral for him in his house but and nite someone had come in and poked him in the toe. And they bury him.

But at nite Mr.Creepsly dug him up. And when Darren got out of the coffin he when to rest by the tombstone while Mr. Creepsly put the dirt back. Someone grabed Darren from the back and put a arrow at his heart and they said that they know what he is and they will kill him if Darren moves. And Darren Looks back and it is Steve and he asks him why does he want to kill him and he said that he betrayed him by becomeing a vampire and he knows this by pokeing his toe and it not bleeding he knows his not dead. and mr. creepsly called for Darren and darren told steve that the vampire would kill him if he sees him. Steve Runs away but yells that he will kill them when he gets older.

And thats the end of book 1

I am currently reading The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and it is a very interesting book! Its about a boy named charlie who is in the ninth grade, and he is discovering new things. He’s slowly discovering who he really is and he is experimenting with new things. It’s basically about the perspective of a regular teenage boys life. He disscuses his thoughts, feelings, and his activities in great detail and depth.

Sharkman Six
by Owen West
I like war books mainly and if your looking for a good war book then i strongly recomend this book. But if your looking for a book that is a mushy gooshy love story or if you want a happy ending to your book this is not the book for you. This is a book that really strongly shows how liberals screwed over our military over. It is about a lieutenant in the marines special forces or recon. He is sent over to somalia to fight all the war lords and feed the woman and children of somolia. Repeatedly he gets screwed over by the leaders of todays military. For instance when he goes over there and gets the country and war lords basically under control. But then the UN comes in and basically says we’ll take it from here. So now he has to answer to the stupid UN general. If you are a liberal and think that you are right about every thing you should definitely read this book. It really got me riled up and angry.

I just finished reading “That summer” by, Sarah Dessen! It was really good. The book was about this teenage girl’s life, and it gets kind of messed up! Her dad leaves her mom and gets married,and she doesnt like her new stepmom. Then her stepmom gets pregnant, and nothing is going the way she would like it too. She feels very alone. Plus her sister, who she was very close to moved away and now shes all alone in the house with her mom.I recomend this book, it is very good.

For whoever liked “Romeo and Juliet”, but doesn’t want the whole cast to die, you should read “Scribbler of Dreams”. It’s about two families that despise each other, and the main character goes to school in her rival family’s turf, but she changes her name. She then meets someone that understands her, who ends up being from the other family! It’s really good and is written with journal entries and is unlike anything I’ve read before.

The book I just finished was “True Believer” by Nicholas Sparks. Its about a guy who’s an expert on exposing things people think is supernatural. One day he gets a letter on some strange lights in a cemetery down in a little town of Boone Creek, North Carolina. So he drove down to investigate. While he’s down there he meets a woman named Lexie. While they both love each other she doesn’t want to admit it. She’s afraid he just going to leave just like all the other guys.
At first it was boring but then it gets good.
