Uprising

by Margaret Peterson Haddix

YR

Teaser from pg 101

He got that faraway look in his eye, like people back in Italy did when they talked about going to America. Bella and Rocco were already in America, and they still had to look far away for any hope.

I am about half way through this book and so far it is a really good read. Very well written and I like all the characters.

What are your teasers? what are you reading?

Review: House

House

by

Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker

The light came into the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it.

My heart holds all secrets; my heart tells no lies.

House

The Only way Out is In

started reading~ 9/16/11
ended~ 9/22/11

Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker come together to give us a chilling, heart thumping look into the battle between good and evil. Every chapter has you wanting to hear more and finding more twists than the last. 

It starts out with Stephanie and Jack... a not so perfect couple, with some secrets and turmoils of their own.

After arguments, pity parties, and then...car trouble things go from bad to worse.

They decide to head out on foot to find help or shelter until daybreak. Up ahead is a sign that reads THE WAYSIDE INN. It is their only hope,... or is it?

There's a game to be played in order to leave this house! There are rules to his game. The rules are simple.

Rule 1.God came to my house and I killed him

Rule 2. I will kill anyone who comes to my house like I killed God

Rule 3. Give me one dead body and I might let Rule 2 slide

I really enjoyed this book. My first impression of the cover was that it would be creepy in a gruesome kind of way, but having read Dekker before I should have known it would be way deeper than boogeymen and zombies.

 I think Jack's character was well written but could have given more details into all the characters....don't want to give any spoilers away. Susan was by far my favorite, the most mysterious of them all.

By the middle of the book, the message is clear but it still has a few twists you weren't expecting. nothing is ever as it appears.

Over all I would give this book 4 stars.

It was definitely a book I would recommend and I have already ordered the movie based on the book. I cannot wait to see how it compares.

Hope you enjoy your next read!

TBR list

   I wanted to give everyone a little preview on some of my TBR(to be read) books. This is just a random list of books that I have either bought, borrowed or been given recently. They are all on my TBR list but in no particular order and I may not read these 7 in a row. I tend to buy up, or acquire I should say, a lot of books and then usually skip around from one genre to another. Unless it is a series. I don't want to get burnt out by reading several of one type. With that said though, I do tend to get into a topic or author and could read 4 or 5 books in similarity. It really just all depends on the mood!
Without further delay, here they are.

1. Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix ~ library book
2. Haunted Kids(True ghost stories) by Allan Zullo ~ bought @ half price books for $1.98
3. The Daughter's Walk by Jane Kirkpatrick ~ bought online for $6.99(with coupon code)
4. The Blind in The Darkness by Stephen Lewis ~ half price books for $1.00
5. The Harvest of Grace by Cindy Woodsmall ~ bought @ crossings.com
6. The Healing Spell by Kimberley Griffiths Little ~ half price books for $2.00
7. Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements ~ half price books for $1.00
Also posted to the left is my current read widget. That will most likely be a guide as to what review will be next!(but not always)
