My Review Of Invasion By Jon C. Lewis
Wow is all I have to say.
Very very rarely does a book latch onto me like a leech and not stop sucking my blood, or, in the case of books, my mind/eyes, and this book was just wow.
I don't like comic books that much, and so I didn't have a high expectance for this book- it just seemed fun, with a plot that intrigued me. But it blew me away.
It's about a boy named Colt(I can never take that name seriously, which sort of made me prejudiced about the character, because whenever I thought of him I compared him to a bambi- like colt- for those who don't know, a colt is a baby male horse.) who has to, well, basically, save the world from Trident Industries.
I reccomend this to all comic-book readers and action book lovers.
Great job, Mr. Lewis- I can't wait for the sequel!

Thank You God For Blessing Me By Max Lucado
My Review Of Thank You God For Blessing Me By Max Lucado
The illustrations in this book were very nice- it made me laugh for some reason when Hermie, the little caterpillar whose in the story, thanked god for 'his two big blue eyes to see with'.
Hermie thanks god for all his blessings in this book- it's really cute, I recommend it for kids ages 3-5.
I rate it 4/5 Stars.

Gabby, God's Little Angel By Sheila Walsh
My review of Gabby, God's Little Angel, By Sheila Walsh.
This was a very, very cute read.
I let my seven-year-old sister read it, and she liked it, I think it's geared toward ages 5-9, since children under 5 would find the story hard to understand, and over 9 would think it's little-kiddish.
It's the story of Gabby, a Guardian Angel Sent By God to watch over Sophie, a human girl, and she even saves Sophie's life- but Sophie can't see or hear her!
It was, like I said before, very cute, and having read Gigi, God's Little Angel, also by Sheila Walsh, with my little sister, I can safely say- She's done it again!
There were also a few funny parts- which are hard to put in children's books, since they have to be about under 15 pages.
Overall, I give this 5 stars out of five!

The Dragons Of Chiril By Donita K. Paul
My Review Of The Dragons Of Chiril By Donita K. Paul
First of all, let me say I really didn't like this book- a few times it was such a boring read, I had to take a break from it. At the beginning, it looked promising, but it ended up being a pretty bad read
It had a great plot- Tipper's father disappeared, then she figures out he's alive( I don't want to say too much more, as I hate in reviews when someone reveals the plot and ending of the book- then what's the point in reading it?) so I don't know where it went wrong, but it was just a very mediocre and dull book.
I mean no disrespect to the author- she is a very good writer- but I would not buy this book. But yet again, you may like it, since everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Love You More: The Divine Surprise Of Adopting My Daughter
Love You More: The Divine Surprise Of Adopting My Daughter
By Jeniffer Grant.
I was lucky to receive this book as part of the BookSneeze book review program, which I highly recommend.
I didn't love this book, nor did I hate it, I considered it very mediocre. I had to force myself not to stop reading half-way through, but I also set a high standard for books.
It is about a woman who adopts a daughter from Gautamela, and it is geared toward families who are thinking/are adopting a child, by telling you about the adoption process.
I had high hopes for this, as I am considering adopting a child after college, but I was disappointed with this book.
I would not recommend this to my friends, unless they are thinking of/are adopting a child.
I rate it 2/5 stars.

The Final Summit
The Final Summit
By Andy Andrews.
This book was okay, I liked the historical characters in it, as historical fiction and anything with historical characters fascinates me, it has an action-packed idea, historical characters& the main character, David Ponder, having just five chances to answer a question that will save humanity-
"What does humanity need to do, individually and collectively, to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?"
I liked when David Ponder met Joan of Arc and Abraham Lincon, but it was a bit boring and tedious to read until about the middle, i'm sorry but it took me about a month to read because it was just so tedious I usually had to force myself to read it.
My apologies to Mr. Andrews.

ClockWork Angel By Cassandra Clare
I'm gonna start this book review off with, yes, I know this book isn't brand new, but it is amazing! I went to my local grocery store and they had a few copies, so I purchased one. I thought it would be okay, but it turned out to be one of the best books I have read in a while, which says a lot, I read tons and tons of books per day!
So I rate this book the highest, it is about the complicated and complex life of Theresa (Tessa) Gray, who goes across the Ocean to find her brother, and instead finds something unexpected... (I won't tell you what, since I don't want to be responsible for any spoilers) It is also about a few other people- James(Jem) Carstairs and Will Herondale are my favorites, they're exact polar opposites, but they remain so nice to each other!
This is a fantastic read, the hardcover is 20$ at my grocery store, but they probably have the paperback on Amazon.com for around 8$.
Happy Reading!
