Random.org chose Ally:

Alannah
And my favorite mother comments go to Brodie and Parajunkee:
(Harry Potter comments are always the way to my heart!)
Brodie said...What I love about my mum - she's young at heart. She's a crazy nut some of the time... in a good way LOL. She sacrifices so much so much for me and asks nothing in return. I love her heart, I love her spirit, I love her smile and I love that I was blessed with her as my mother :)
Brodie said...What I love about my mum - she's young at heart. She's a crazy nut some of the time... in a good way LOL. She sacrifices so much so much for me and asks nothing in return. I love her heart, I love her spirit, I love her smile and I love that I was blessed with her as my mother :)
And my favourite fictional mother is, without a doubt, Molly Weasley. She's the best cook in the world, she's managed to keep her sanity after all these years raising Fred and George, she's lovely, gentle, caring and a TOTAL BADA**. Yeah, don't you know it, Bellatrix!
Parajunkee said...What I love about my mom? My mom is rather crazy also (must be a trend), I love her because she has a very big heart and is very trusting. Which can be bad sometimes because people like to take advantage of that.
But, she works this really tough job, where she sees very bad things all day long (she is a court reporter for the head judge at criminal court - oh and we are the murder capital of the US) but she still manages to be a bit innocent and trusting, where others would get jaded and hateful.
She tells us the funny stories about court, like about how the lawyer would get down on his knees to beg the judge to let his client go. She doesn't dwell on the darker side. I think that is wonderful trait in my mom and I love her for it.
Congratulations!
Amy, Andye, Kit, Abigaile and Austin
O just read a book called Crazy. I am in love with it. I have to say it is one of my favorites as of January.

I loved it because of the way it was written. It puts you in the mind of the character the entire time. No where else. No other opinions. Well, there are other opinions, but it's hard to explain without explaining it. lol
ReplyDeleteYou just have to read it.
I also loved it because there were points where it literally brought me to tears.

my favorite book so far this year is The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. It is the story of a girl who is juggling the feelings of her best friend/sister recently dying and falling in love for the first time. The pages just fly by, sometimes making you want to laugh and sometimes making you want to cry. It is a very well written, emotionally charged story, and I LOVED it!

favourite book is (three way tie, i'll choose one xp) The Piper's Son by melina Marchetta

I love it because of amazing writing, it's melina marchetta (yes, that's a reason), such realistic and believable characters, its an emotional roller coaster, and it brings back characters from Saving Francesca, another favourite of mine :D

ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I know it's not a new book, but I think it's the best one I've read so far this year.
melissa[at]yabookshelf[dot]com
+1 Why I liked it so much: I loved Melinda's attitude - her ironic and sometimes biting thoughts as the novel went along, but what makes me definitely say that this was the best book of 2010 for me is the way she grows and develops into her own voice. She may only be a character in a novel, but I'm proud of her.

I loved it because of the way it protrayed the main character. He was slowly turning into a devil, because of the death of his fiancee. It is also about the secrets we keep from everyone, including ourselves.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite book read this year was THE BOOK THIEF, by Markus Zusak.
+1 It's one of my favorite book because it teaches you how important can be books for someone who is living a life soo hard as the protagonist. Besides, you can see how was World War II for someone living in Germany and not being a Nazi.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure about this book at first, because I wasn't my type of reading. But now I love it!

I am a follower and my favorite book I read this year was The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. It's actually my favorite book I have ever read!
ReplyDeleteI loved it because it has so many turns and really made you thought about everything, not just in the book, but in life. It had you guessing and it makes you sad and happy. I was never so attached to characters before that book.

The best book I've read this year was Soulless by Gail Carriger. Absolutely wonderful. (I'll tell you why in my next comment lol).
ReplyDeleteambience.of.rain {at} gmail.com
Am a follower.
I loved Soulless because it was:
ReplyDelete1) Funny! I laughed a lot. And it's more of dry-wit humor than anything else, which is my favorite.
2) Language/Writing style. Absolutely yummy (if I could eat words!). Think Pride & Prejudice language but a little more modern with a dash of playfulness/sarcasm.
3) Historical. It was set in Britain in the 1800s. Again, perfect! They wear corsets, have parasols & drink tea.
4) Paranormal. The love interest of our wonderful heroine is a werewolf (I'm a werewolf girl more than a vampire girl anyway). And, of course, one of her best friends is a vampire & she's a preternatural (neutralizes paranormal abilities). So fun & creative!
5) Last, romance. The romance was fun. A little more typical than the other elements I've listed so far, but that didn't diminish the wonderfulness. The heroine & hero bickered, kissed, bickered some more, there was some misunderstanding & then they sorted out enough. And their personalities work together so well I'm looking forward to the next book, but they're not so "happily ever after" perfect that there's no room for more conflict.
Wonderful book! : ) As you can see, I loved it!

ReplyDeleteI loved, loved, loved Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. It made me think about the way that girls handle peer pressure and wanting to find your identity. I enjoyed the book so much that I had to write to Lauren and compliment her on her first novel and how it affected me. She even took the time to write me back. I really do applaude authors that spend the time to communicate with their fans.

ReplyDeleteI read the book Sweetblood by Pete Hautman several weeks ago and really enjoyed it. It's been out quite a while (since 2004 I think) but I just saw it at my local library this year and decided to give it a try.
+1 Telling why I liked it
ReplyDeleteSweetblood was a realistic vampire tale about a diabetic girl named Lucy who says she is part of the Undead. She is such a great character (I laughed out loud several times) and it was really interesting to watch her form and end relationships, go through the daily struggle with diabetes, talk about "real" vampires, and find herself in the end. Fun and moving at the same time.

The best book I've read this year is Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien.
ReplyDeleteThe writing was so awesome. With attention to detail, Caragh never failed to amaze me. It was simply beautiful. The world she created in Birthmarked was full of unfairness, pain, suffering and eventhough it's like that, I enjoyed my stay there because of the main character - Gaia. I loved her perspective.
