Zoinks visiting the library

I was sick today so Zoinks (from the planet Zarbboff) went to Rogers & East Fairhaven Elementary schools in my place to promote the summer reading program, Starship Adventure at your Library. She's cute, huh? She's living in the Millicent library tower this summer and reading books like a maniac.

I'll be visiting Hastings Middle School next week. Zoinks can't make it, unfortunately. She has a dentist appointment. :)

A Kiss in Time by Alex Flinn

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Talia has been asleep for 300 years, ala Sleeping Beauty. Jack is bored on vacation in Europe and stumbles across her sleeping village, the beauteous Talia...and can't help kissing her. Although Talia has been wakened by what she believes is "true love's first kiss," the witch/fairy Malvolia is still threatening Talia in her dreams. Told in alternating chapters, A Kiss in Time follows what happens next. Although Talia's transformation in the book is a bit less believable than Jack's, I had great fun reading this book. It was fun seeing Talia figure out the 21st century, especially the behavior and dress of young adults (in modern-day Miami no less!). People certainly don't wear ball gowns anymore! Her diplomatic skills came in handy with Jack's younger sister and mother; Talia managed to bring out the best in everyone and eventually that's what draws Jack to her. (I want to be able to give this 3 1/2 stars.)

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Zombies are the new Vampires! well, probably not. But this book certainly kept me on edge and gave me crazy zombie nightmares. Mary lives in a small fenced-in village in the middle of the Forest with Unconsecrated (read: ZOMBIES) moaning at the fences all day long. The Unconsecrated want to eat human flesh and create more zombies. In the first chapter Mary's mother is infected and Mary must watch her mother transform into a zombie before being released into the forest. ugh...bad day. Mary's existence is ruled by the Sisterhood, a religious order that governs over the village. While living with the Sisters, however, Mary discovers that there may be life outside the village. This reignites her hope in some day seeing the ocean, a mythical place that her many-greats grandmother is rumored to have visited. When Mary (and some others including the two men who love her--yes, it's also a romance) escape from the village after a zombie attack, she must convince the others that there is hope and there may be a world without the Unconsecrated.



This book is being optioned for a movie--it will definitely be a horror film (which mean I probably won't see it!!). I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes suspenseful books, romance or action scenes where zombie heads are being whacked off left and right.

Newest Airhead Novel!!

Being Nikki by Meg Cabot

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I liked Airhead a lot, but I like Being Nikki even better. This sequel follows Em Watts now that she's in supermodel Nikki Howard's body. Em is getting used to being a supermodel, but still misses spending time with her family and her best friend/crush Christopher. It's apparently not easy to be a runway model and have to wear a ten-million dollar diamond bra for New Years. I expected more drama like what happens in the beginning of the book, but then the book took a fun twist and everything suddenly changed. The ending had me wishing I could read the third book right away.
