Summary: Maddie is a young adult who lives in Angel City. A place where Angels live. She absolutely hates Angels. Now the most famous Angel, Jackson Godspeed, finds himself in a situation where he has to hide in a diner. The waitress just happens to be Maddie, and the diner is run by her Uncle. Jackson ends up taking Maddie to glamorous parties and has her live the life he lives. In the city someone is killing Angels. No one kills Angels. Angels also have rules; they cannot save people they are not assigned to. Maddie's question is will he save her? 

My review: I loved this book. I pictured Jackson as basically a Zac Efron or any teenage heart throb. I have so much respect for Scott for comparing Angels to celebrities. Through out the book they were the celebrities being followed by paparazzi and couldn't get one place without being stopped by a fan. When Maddie and Jackson fall in love it is really sweet. He takes her to an event and allows her to get anything because it is her night. Well it is actually a party for him but they get all the goodies for free. Then there is this mystery on who is killing Angels. Then Jackson saved Maddie and now they have other people chasing them to separate them. Another thing that I liked about this book is that even though it is a series it actually had an ending. What I mean by that is that it didn't have a cliff hanger. Overall, this is a must read!

Whatever Wednesday

Hey guys! I know I have been MIA for about 2 weeks now, sorry about that. July 20^th was the first day of Ramadan, which is fasting from sunrise to sunset for 30 days. I get so excited about it every year! Even though no food or water till basically 8:30 p.m. That is why last week I never blogged. I was so tired and every time I opened my laptop I kept getting a headache. I didn’t even read last week, which is a huge surprise, I know. The great thing about it is that I know I am doing something great for my religion!

This week I am at the beach with my best friend and her family. We are at Topsail Island, North Carolina. Let me tell you the beach is so beautiful!!!! I love it! We have two houses filled with people. The house that I am staying at has about 14 people in it; the other house, which is right next door, has 16 people. So far it has been so sunny out. Today is the only day where we had really bad weather! It was thunder storming earlier, now it has cleared up but I don’t want to go into the water. Monday night we got to see baby sea turtles get released into the ocean. It was so cute to see their little legs run into the water.

And yes! I have been reading which I am pleased about. The only thing is I only read one Young Adult book, the rest are Adult books. The Adult books that I am reading are the Nikki Heat series, which is from the ABC show, Castle. One of the best shows ever! On the show it has a writer, Richard Castle, follow Detective Kate Beckett around on homicide cases for his murder mystery novel. Richard Castle writes the books that I am reading. In my opinion, I think it is so awesome that they have the author on the show actually have real books. Now whether he actually writes them or has someone else do it, beats me. I don’t really care because it is such a great read.

I will do my book review this Friday, I promise! It will be on Immortal City by Scott Speer. See you then! Well not actually see you but you know what I mean!

Whatever Wednesday ( on a thursday)

Sorry for the delay! I know I was supposed to do this post yesterday but I was so busy so I couldn't. This is where I tell you the random things that happened to me the last few days and the days to come.

Starting with Saturday. I was spending the day with my sister and my dad. We went to the mall, out for lunch, and to the movies. We watched the new Spiderman movie, which by the way in my opinion the best Spiderman movie by far. That night I had a sleepover with my friends, Alexa and Kathleen. We went to Alexa's aunts house to help house sit. We stayed up till Sunday like at 4 in the morning.

Also, it was Alexa's birthday that day too. Funny story about that. It was a few minutes past midnight and we all didn't notice what time it was until Alexa went on facebook. She realized that people were saying happy birthday to her. Kathleen and I then noticed and we screamed happy birthday. Now Alexa is holding it against us since we didn't say it first and we were with her! LOL! Best night ever!

Nothing much happened on Monday :(

On Tuesday my mommy came home from her trip to Egypt! She loved it so much wish I could have gone with her but still had fun at home too. She got us moltos( spelling might be off)! Moltos are the best snacks in the world that you can only get in Egypt, at least that is the only place I have ever seen them. They are basically a chocolate filled croissant! I haven't had them in more than 5 yrs! I missed them so much! And my mom of course, eh. LOL just kidding love you mom <3!

On Wednesday my sister and I went to the pool with my little baby cousin. Well she isn't a baby anymore she is about to turn 4! I still can't belive it. She can stand in the 3 feet area! And she can even swim better than my sister and I (my sister is 15 and I am 17)! The pool time was cut short cuz it started to storm :( Oh and that night DALLAS the tv show was on. And I am obsessed with that show! I am even watching the original serious too!

Yup! So thats basically what happened to me the last few days :)

Writing Monday

Here is one of my poems that I just wrote last night.

Make a Mark
By: Nadah Ali

My hands leaves a mark on the window.
My feet leaves a mark on the floor.
My eyes leaves a mark on the world.
My voice leaves a mark on the ears.
My heart leaves a mark on my loves own heart.
And if I wake up today, to find my last day tomorrow
At least I left a mark on something.

Book Review: Obsidian

Release Date: May 8, 2012 

Amazon rating: 4.5 out of 5

My Rating: 5 out of 5

Summary: Katy's life has an out of this world change (literally)! She moves to this small town in West Virginia, with her mom. And her next door neighbors just happen to be two teenagers just like herself. Not to mention that one of them is hot and sexy, Daemon. The rude, arrogent, hot tempered, stubborn... oh but so hot Daemon. All Katy can think about is Daemon and why he is so rude to her, after all they have just met. Turns out Daemon and his sister, Dee, are aliens! Yup aliens! Now Katy has to live with the fact that she has aliens as neighbors, she can't fight her feeling towards Daemon, hide the fact that she knows their secret to everyone, help hide them from evil alians and the Department of Defense. Oh and it is her senior year in high school. 

My review: I love, love, love this book. One of my favorites this year. Jennifer really knows how to make you love each and everyone of these characters. Katy is the shy, good girl who eventually changes her personality to this spunky, brave woman. She is also a blogger, which let me say was so exciting to read. I love how she loves to read books and gets so excited when she gets a new shipment in. Not going to lie this is what enspired me to go back to my own blog. Daemon is just so... well I don't know I love him. I love his many different mood changes. I did want to grab him out of the book and slap him a few times, but then go all googly eyes when he says something sweet. And I can't help but love his relationship with Katy. Their arguements were really funny to read. I was sceptical of this book at first. I mean come on a book about aliens, really. But I was so wrong. I kept picturing aliens as the gross disgustion ones like the ones in movies. Turns out they are not like that at all... well at least not in this book. I was lucky enought to get a signed copy of this book when Jennifer was at a signing in Boonsboro, MD. She is one of the sweetest authors i have ever met. Like I said one of my favorite books of all time. Can't wait for the second one to come out in August of this year. 

I'm Back! (lol I know thats kinda weird but oh well!)

Okay, so I know I haven't been posting for a while and I apoligize for that. But now I am back in the game and will be definetly giving great book reviews.

So this is how my blog is going to be layed out:
Mondays- I will be posting some of my writing pieces.
Wednesdays- I will be posting random stuff. It will mostly consist of me blabbing about different things.
Fridays- I will be posting book reviews.
Saturdays- I will be posting videos of book reviews with my best friend and fellow blogger, writer, and reader.

Can't wait for tomorrow because it will be my first book review in a while. It will be on Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout. What I can say right now is that it was such a SUPER, FANTASTIC, AWSOME BOOK EVER! :)

Hex Hall Series!!!

Hey guys, sorry it has been awhile since I posted but I have some great news. Today is the premiere of Rachel Hawkins new book, Spell Bound. It is the third and last book of the Hex Hall series. Today I also got my copy signed because Rachel was holding a book signing.

The series is a great series. It is about this teenage girl, Sophie Mercer, who has these certain powers. Through out the first book she has to learn how to use her powers at a school called Hex Hall. At the school there are also other Prodigium which are witches, faeries, werewolfs, and shapeshifters. Not to mention that she has a love interest with a boy named Archer. By the end of the novel Sophie finds out a huge secret about herself that she didn't even now. This series is a MUST!!!! READ!!!!! One of my favorite books I have ever read.

Above is a picture of Rachel Hawkins and I. She is super nice and sweet and I found out that she is going to write a spin off of the Hex Hall series. I also found out that she is going to start writing a new series.
