Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

   
At the age of four, Bryn watched a rogue werewolf brutally murder her parents. Aline in the world, she was rescued and taken in by the mysterious Callum, the alpha of his werewolf pack. Now fifteen, Bryn's been raised as a human among werewolves, adhering to the pack rule (mostly). Little fazes her.
   But the pack's been keeping a secret and when Bryn goes exploring against Callum's direct orders, she finds Chase, a newly turned teen Were locked in a cage. Terrifying memories of the attack on her mom and dad come flooding back. Bryn needs answers, and she needs Chase to get them. Suddenly, all allegiances to the pack no longer matter. It's Bryn and Chase against the werewolf world, whatever the consequences.
    This story takes werewolves to the next level. It shows the intricate bonds that a person's family, and in this case pack, has. The struggle Bryn goes through relates to many people. Choosing, and having, between what you always knew and the truth. This book shows, in action, the 'everything has a consequence' that we hear all the time. I myself loved this book. The witty comments it holds kept me smiling. The action and the suspense kept me turning the pages. The characters made me love the book and connect to it more than I expected. I'm usually pretty good at guessing what will happen next, and this book kept me on my toes. Each page and every chapter threw me a spin I didn't expect. I would give this book 4  1/2 stars. But read it yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Anywhere But Here - Mayday Parade (with lyrics)



One of my favorite songs by Mayday Parade right now. I love pretty much everyone of thier songs. I have seen them live too.... of course they're great [: Hope you like this song! And check out their other songs. It couldn't hurt, could it?
**Note: I'd say this is alternative? But give it a chance. And you can get their CD "Anywhere But Here" on iTunes or at the store now.

Thanks to the person that made this movie and posted it on youtube.com: chickabow25

Forget You


I'll warn any guys (if there are any guys) reading this....this is a "girlie" book. But that doesn't mean you can't read this. It does have some interest for you guys too.

Forget You by Jennifer Echols is a book I recently read. I'll tell you a little bit just because I hate when people ruin the story for me. So the main character is Zoey Commander. Her home life is screwed up big time. And to top it all off she can't remember a thing about one night that seems to be a big turning point in her life. She tries to get information on what happens. There were points that I was wondering what would happen and other times I knew exactly what was ahead. And of course there were parts that I was screaming at Zoey to just open her eyes! Anyone could see it but her. So I would recommend this book. I'll warn you it is racey and there are some .... you can say 'intense'? scenes. If you like love stories and some adorable smart mouthed guys with a little edge then I would say get this book now.
4.5-5 stars. (I love it that much)
and I hope she doesn't mind but if you guys want a little more on the book and reviews on it check out "michelle's bookshelf" she wrote it on July 10, 2010

Enjoy! [:

Sorry this will suck I can promise

I can't say I'll be on here all the time or that I'll be any good at this. But for now I'm going to put some random things on here. Some movies I like ... or maybe ones I don't. Some songs and maybe books I like too. Photos that I've remade or just want other people to see.

NOTE: All I ask is that if you don't like what I say or put up don't comment. I won't be rude and won't say anything to offend anyone but I just ask that if you don't have anything nice to say DON'T SAY IT AT ALL. Thanks (:
