So Halloween is coming up and have probably guessed by the title of the post that it is my favorite holiday.  The only problem this year is that I have mid-terms the day after Halloween and I feel....as if, well... look at the face of the day for more details.  Blogger is still being weird and I wonder if this will continue.  Maybe I should just get an actual blog with my own website.  So I have been reading a bunch of books that are very dark themed to get me in the mood for Halloween.  Such as A Midsummer Night's Scream by R.L. Stein (still reading), Rags and Bones- New Twists on Timeless tales Edited by Melissa Marr and Tim Pratt (various authors, just finished), My Pet Virus by Shawn Decker (just finished), and Days of Blood and Starlight (still reading...)

 

Rags and Bones 4.3/5

Loved, Loved, LOVED this collection of short stories.  This book has updated timeless (grim and ghoulish) stories and turned them into a futuristic setting.  I can't really say a lot about it because of the fact that there are so many stories.  This was definitely a mixed book there were many that I loved (Carrie Ryan's, Neil Gaiman's, Holly Black's, and Rick Yancey's just to name a few), and some that were just ok.  Definitely suggest people to read it!

 

My Pet Virus 4/5

This memoir is by Shawn Decker who was born with Hemophilia but because of improper screening of blood (this was in the 80's) contracted HIV at age 11.  The book covers his life with off beat humor and an interesting insight to how it HIV and AIDs effects more people than we commonly think.  This book was a quick read (took me all of a day) and is just an interesting read. 

Face of the day....

September is a bit of on insane month to say the least and I have had no time to update anything...I did manage to read a bit despite the craziness.  I finished 2 books, but one was for school (it is only going to count with page total) the other was Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan.  As you can see by the trend that I am having an obsession with his books... I also seem to have acquired 14 books on my side table that I need to read  

Boy Meets Boy 4.3/5

      This short book is about a boy named Tony and his life after he meets another boy named Noah.  Tony has known that he was gay ever since kindergarten and he has been the leader of a group of friends that support and admire his every step.  The story shows their daily lives and the challenges they face.  Such as Noah being the new kid and falling in love with Tony...to infinite Darlene being both the home coming queen and star quarter back... Joni Tony's best friend from second grade dating the guy that everyone hates...to Tony's other best friend Kyle getting his parents to realize that he is gay and excepting that fact.  This is a wonderful story about friendship and love...And I read it for banned book week.
