FAQ: how to Follow
I've had quite a few friends that I shared this blog with ask me how they are supposed to follow this blog. I think I have finally figured this all out and from what I have found there are a few ways to do this.
1.You can like this on facebook under any of the posts. The same goes for twitter
2. on the upper right side of the screen directly above the about me section there is a list of my followers, with that there should be a "join this site" button if see it just click on that
3. on the very top of the screen (this may only work if you have a gmail) there is a thin transparent ribbon that includes the sign out button and has an option that takes you to the dashboard, from the dashboard you can add the url of my blog to your followed blogs

The False Prince
The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen
* * * * *
I truly loved this book and its sequels. I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it but it soon became one of my favorites. It is a unique book that is ever better the second time around (if you have read it you know exactly why I say that). This book is full of surprises and excitement. You start expecting one thing and another thing entirely happens, and even when you do manage to guess what is going to happen you still find yourself shocked and amazed when it happens. I can't stress how great this book is.
Sage is a tricky, sly, and humorous orphan boy from a foreign country He doesn't really fit in anywhere and is always causing trouble. One day a wealthy man by the name of Bevin Connor buys him and takes him and three other orphans, all with similar features but very different personalities, to his home with unknown, secret plans. Soon Sage and the others learn his plans. Bevin wants to groom them all to be flawless gentleman, and more than that he wants to make one of him a false prince to take the place of the long lost prince Jaren after the death of the royal family. The orphans not chosen are certian to die. Will Sage use his skills and cleverness to become Bevin's prince? Or will he fail and die? Most importantly, how will Bevin use the prince he choses?
This story is intense, dramatic, funny, and exciting. I wouldn't have given it 5 stars if I didn't believe whole heatedly that it was an amazing story. Read it and let me know what you think!

Kissed by an Angel book review
Did this one with a different Camera than normal so quality is different both video and sound.
Guilty Pleasure Books! Warrior Cats
Guilty Pleasure Books- Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter
These books are one of my favorite guilty pleasures! They are a guilty pleasure because I am always criticized for being too old to read them (as the story goes for most of my guilty pleasure books). However I believe you are never too old to read any book!
I truly adore these books because they are so fun and thrilling all at once. It is so easy to get attached to the characters and their lives and dreams. These books can be super fun and cute one moment and super intense the next, and that's why I love them so much. The unique presepctive these books give you are almost unheard of. Lots of books give you looks into lives of your pets but these give you the look into the life of a fantasy society of wild cats living and surviving on their own.
I suggest these books to anyone and everyone, I don't care how old you are they are amazing books! the only problem is that there are so many that I don't have them all! MUST HAVE!

Just Ella
Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix
* * *
It pained me to give this book only three stars because I love Margaret Peterson Haddix! This book just lacked the usual "POW!" that her other books have. I didn't hate this book, and still think it is worth reading, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I expected to.
This book is a sweet and relateable story about a girl who gets stuck in the wrong situation and forced to be someone she isn't. Ella is chosen to be the Prince's future bride in the classic Cinderella story. She wows him at the ball and next thing you know she is swept off her feet and being changed from a peasant girl to a future queen. It doesn't take long for Ella to realize this isn't the life she wants and she finds herself drawn to her tutor, Jed who is unlike the selfish and boring prince in every way. Her goal now, is to find a way out but the Prince and those working for him refuse to let that happen in this Cinderella story gone wrong.
This is a unique and fun twist on the average happily ever after and is a fun and short read. My only criticism is that this story lacks the thrill I usually get from one of Haddix's books.

Sisters Red
Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce
* * * *
This book completly earned the four stars I gave it. I loved this book so much and it just fell short of amazing. A talent that Jackson Pearce has with her stories is making them all connect beautifuly to the point where you know they link but they don't have to be read in a particular order. (this is the first book, I read it second). And the other Talent she has is always making me smile. I didn't want to put this book down.
Sisters Red is a fairytale retelling of Little Red riding hood. Sisters, Scarlet and Rosie are as close as any two sisters could be. They firmly believe that they were two parts of the same heart, and that Rosie the younger sister was just born later. When these sisters were little their Grandmother was attacked by a Fenris, otherwise known as a werewolf. Scarlet bravely protected her little sister, and lost and eye and was badly scared because of it. From that point forward Scarlet became a hunter. She didn't just hunt Fenris, she lived and breathed hunting. Rosie however longed for something more, but knew she owed her life to her sister and therefor dedicated herself to hunting with her and their family friend. Rosie and Scarlet try to keep themselves and others safe while figuring out where they fit in eachother's lives as their interests and priorities change.
This book is full of sisterly love, romance, drama, and action. I strongly believe it has something for everyone. I felt a new emotion on every page and couldn't stop reading! I loved the message this story portrayed and was sad to see it end. The only thing that I can say against this book is the pacing. Some parts seemed to fly by too fast and others way too slow, and it wasn't exactly clear how much time had past during most of the story. However this was such a minor problem I don't expect it to keep anyone from enjoying the story.
