The Hunger Games

This is a really good book but only if you can take a lot of fighting, killing, and torture. It reminds me a lot of the Roman Era where they would put Christians in the Colosseum to fight till one of them died.
The Hunger Games are full of action and adventure. It always starts out simple but it must take a complicated turn. Twelve districts, the first district being up-class, lacking nothing, the twelfth district, however, is not so fortunate, barely surviving from not having enough food to eat. The cruel and harsh Capitol is sure to find a way to keep them in line. What they think is fun entertainment, is cruel torture for the districts. No doubt that all district will follow the rules of the Capitol or no telling what may happen to them.The Capitol forces one girl and one boy from each district, between ages twelve and eighteen, to participate in the annual Hunger Games. Twenty-four tributes must fight to the death, while it's broadcast live in in all twelve districts. Sixteen year old Katniss volunteers herself for the protection of her twelve year old sister. Peeta Mellark is the boy chosen.Both are from district 12. They must leave the only thing they have ever known to travel to the Capitol for preparation. Will they ever see the ones they love again? While in the arena they must weigh out their options of survival. In the beginning by forming a pack of allies but, by the end turning on even the ones they were just working with as a team. Who will survive this torturous event the Capitol finds so much pleasure in? You will have to read the book to find out.
When I read this book I could barely put it down. I felt like I was in the story with the characters.

Eye of the Sword


If you like books with alot of action and adventure this is probably a book for you. Kings kingdoms, princesses, comains, allies, and enemies, angels walking on earth, and 3 harps to connect earth to heaven by forming a ladder. The princess has one harp but the other two are missing. Comain Trevin is sent to look for the lost comains of the kingdom, along with searching for harps the princess asked him to find. Along the way he runs into a few obstacles and also finds his true identity , the son of an angel. Can Comain Trevin find the harps for the princess while searching for lost comain? What kind of adventure will his journey take him on?


I was really impressed, although this book is the second in the series you can read it without having to read the first one and still understand what's going on in the story. I makes you want to read the first book to see how the story began. Karyn Henley has a great way of writing this book.

First Book!! :)

So I got my first book got it mostly read and so excited that I get to put the review on here! :) I'm very excited!

You're Already Amazing

This book is absolutely amazing!!! My mom got it to review and I started reading it, I LOVE IT! I can say this is one of the best books I've read. Holley talks about so much in this book, from our emotions and how we cope with them, to the "It Girl" and how everyone wants to be like her. But in God's eyes we don't have to be the "It Girl" we are His "Is Girl'. When I first saw this chapter I thought it was a typo but after reading more of the chapter I realized it wasn't, we are God's "is girl" he looks at us and says, "She IS loved, she IS accepted, she IS valued. I created her and she IS created just the way I want her to be." 
When I read this book I am reminded that I am my Creator's he loves me just the way I am, no matter what others think of me or say about me, no matter what I think of myself he still loves me and accepts me. We are created to be what he wants us to be, we need to want to be that, and we need to use our gifts and strengths for HIS glory!
