Chronicles of Vladimir Tod

I am loving all of Heather Brewers books, her first book; The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod Eighth Grade Bites didnt really get me hooked, but it made me want to continue onto the second book; Ninth Grade Slays really got me into the story a lot more.


Summary:

Vlad has to keep his vampite urges under control while dealing with the pressures of middle school.
Thirteen year old Vladmir Tod really hates junior high. Bullies harass him, the principal is doggin him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has a secret: Him mother was human, but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers, Vlad struggles daily with his blood cravings and his enlarged fangs. When a substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely, Vlad worries that his cover is about to be blown. But then he faces a much bigger problem: Hes being hunted by a vampire killer.


What I thought:
I thought eigth Grade Bites was a good start to the series, its basically setting everything into place. It took me a while to get into the book, but once you read around page 60 everything starts to pick up and its a quick read after that.
What got me into the book was the small romance between Vlad and Meredith, it slowly progressed in the book and made me want to read the second book even more to see if things will change.
I would say you should read the series, its a good vampire story where in each book the characters start to grow more, the plot changes, new friends are found and lost, and i just want to know more about Vlad.

12 stones

So my new favorite band is called 12 stones. I found them though the recommendations of Itunes after I typed in Skillet

My Favorite song: Lie to me in the acuistic version is great too

Our candle burns away
the ashes full of life
I gave my soul to you
You cut me from behind

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
You're scared of the truth, I'm tired of the lies
Cuz who I am, is where you wanna be

Dont act like an angel
you fallen
you're no super hero
I found in the end

So lie to me once again
and tell me everything will be alright
Lie to me once again
Ask yourself before we say goodbye
Well goodbye
Was it worth in the end...

you said ou were there for me
you wouldnt let me fall
All the times i shared with you
Were you even there at all?

Nowhere to run and no where to hide
youre scared of the truth, Im tired of the lies
Cuz who I am, is where you wanne be

Dont act like an angel
you fallen again youre no super hero
I found in the end

So lie to me once again
and tell me everything will be alright
Lie to me once again
And ask yourseld before we say goodbye
Well goodbye
Was it worth it in the end

Why'd you have to up and run away
A million miles away
I wanna close my eyes and make believe
That i never found you

Just when i put my guard away
Its the same old story
You left me broken and betrayed
Its the same old story

Dont act like an angel
you fallen again
youre no super hero
I found in the end

So lie to me once again
And tell me everything will be alright
Lie to me once again
And ask yourself before we say goodbye
Well goodbye
Was it worth it in the end...

Lie to me once again
Its the same old story
Lie to me once again
Its the same old story

Was it worth it in the end...

i vent way too much here

what im thinking

This year is my last year in high school, I am an okay student, cant do a lot of sports because of my shoulder and actually enjoys certain kinds of community service. Im going to the community college here and right here and right now I wish I actually applied to the other schools i wanted to go to. Family is always important to me...or rather one member in my family was really important to me...and on the 27th of last month i lost her. Elizabeth "Betty" Shinagawa was the most important person to me in my life, she was like a mother to me, my teacher, and just grandma. I miss her like crazy, its weird not having her around. Freshman year was great for me, my swimming got a lot better and i was about to try out for our schools swim team, and try out for the paddling team. But as soon as i have all that to look forward to... my grandma tells me she has cancer, she said they had just found it before it could spread so her treatment wouldnt be so bad as other patients. was that a load of crap. my grandma was diabetic, and the radiation didnt make it any better. there was so much shit happening to such a wonderful person who enjoyed life soo much.

For a quick backround of my grandma, she is one out of six, had three kids, and 7 grandchildren and her mother, my great grandma just turned 103 this month. She was married for 54 years, has been to disney land five times, disney world once, tokyo disney land 4 times been to Korea, Las Vegas, New york and soo many other places I wish i could have gone with her.

In Sophmore year things looked better they looked a lot better for me. when my grandma was in recovery I met an incredible guy named Jake Hanabishi. His grandma had gone through almost the same situation as my grandma had, and that gave us an instant connection to each other. I fell for him and he fell for me we lasted 6 months together until he had to move away.

to be continued in part two....

wow xD

So I have been trying to save money for my trip to new york in march, and to do that I havent bought any books since december. I was at the mall last night with my dad and we decide to go into barnes and nobles, when i get to the teen section I instanly find four or five books that I WANT!!! I would just go to the library and borrow them but the waiting list for all the books that I want is ridiculous. So maybe after march and maybe after prom I will get back to reading. Did I mention that my grades in school arent doing that great too? =P well its okay, i know it could be better i just have to stop being so lazy.

I plan on getting the books

1. Gone by Lisa Mcmann
2. i cant remember the name...but the author was larrissa Ione
3. A book by Carrie Jones
4. and i cant remember the other book..
