Bye?
I won't be posting anything on this blog anymore, I'm leaving it up though so you can still read my old reviews, they're just won't be any new stuff coming. For reviews every two weeks I'll be on whichbookstoread.blogspot.com starting next week.
Tschüss
Tja, es tut mir leid, euch mitteilen zu müssen, dass ich auf diesem Blog nicht mehr aktiv sein werde. Ich werde ihn nicht löschen, jeder kann die exestierenden Rezensionen noch lesen, aber es wird nichts mehr neues kommen. Libellensommer war sozusagen meine Abschiedsrezension. Also dann, tschüss!
P.S. Wer sich nicht verabschieden will kann gerne auf meinen neuen Blog umschalten: auf http://welchebuecherlesenbzwliebernichtlesen.blogspot.de/ schreibe ich alle zwei Wochen eine deutsche Rezension.

Lesen gefährdet die Dummheit
Wenn ihr meinen Blog mögt dann habe ich etwas für euch: eine von meinen allerallerallerbesten Freundinnen macht das gleiche wie ich, ihre Rezensionen sind nur auf Deutsch, also müsst ihr nicht, wie bei mir, Monate warten bis ich wieder etwas Deutsches mache.

Libellensommer
Die fünfzehnjährige Jodie hat es nicht leicht: dank eines Boykotts der Indianer hat ihr Vater seinen Job bei einer großen Pappfabrik verloren und nun wohnt sie mit ihren Eltern und ihrer zehnjährigen Schwester Nikki in einer Sozialwohnung. Ihre Eltern streiten jeden Tag. Im Internet flirtet Jodie mit Tim, der achtzehn ist, braune Locken, blaue Augen und das schönste, strahlendste Lächeln der welt hat. Tim schreibt ihr täglich Liebesbriefe, hat jedoch keine Ahnung wie übergewichtig, picklig und hässlich sie ist. Klar das sie ohne ihren Computer nicht leben kann. Als Jodies Mutter ihrem Vater vorwirft, er würde sich nie un seine Töchter kümmern, verlässt der Vater die Familie. Jodies Mutter weiß nicht, was sie tun soll, sie arbeitet in einem Fastfood-Restaurant und verdient nicht genug Geld um nun ganz alleine beide Kinder und sich selbst zu versorgen. Als Jodie eines Tages von der Schule heimkommt und ihr Computer nicht mehr auf ihrem Schreibtisch ist, stellt sie ihre Mutter zur Rede. Als sie erfährt, dass ihre Mutter den Computer verkauft hat, schreit Jodie sie an, es sei ihre Schuld das ihr Vater weg sei. Ihre Mutter gibt ihr eine Ohrfeige und Jodie beschließt, wegzurennen. Zusammen mit ihrer besten Freundin Marla plant sie ihren Ausriss. Sie hat vor, per Anhalter nach Sudbury zu fahren um Tim zu besuchen. Bis Kapuskasing läuft alles gut, doch dann wird sie vom Trucker, bei dem sie mitgefahren ist, angegriffen. Sie kann sich gerade noch in den Wald retten, wo sie Jay trifft. Der Indianer kann sie ohne Auto, 60 Kilometer vom nächsten Ort entfernt, nicht einfach stehen lassen, muss aber schnell zurück zu sich nach Hause ins Camp. Also bleibt ihm nichts anderes übrig, als sie mitzunehmen. Die beiden lernen sich immer besser kennen, bis sich aus Jays ursprünglicher Abneigung Freundschaft entwickelt, vielleicht sogar Liebe. So beginnt ein magischer Sommer, in dem Jodie Jays Welt immer besser kennenlernt, immer besser findet sie sich im Wald zurecht. Doch sie gehört nicht hierher, in die Wildnis. Ihre Eltern zuhause sind krank vor Sorge und sie kann sich nicht ewig hier verstecken. Jay ist ein Indianer, ihre Welten passen einfach nicht zusammen.
Dieses Buch war echt super, ich habe viel über die Bräuche der Indianer gelernt. Antje Babendererde hat das Talent, eine Liebesgeschichte spannend und aufregend zu getalten, ohne jemals auch nur das kleinste Bisschen kitschig zu werden. Ich empfehle das Buch dringend weiter.

The Immortals Series
The Immortals Series by Alyson Noel tells the story of a girl, Ever, who survived a car accident that killed her whole family, including the dog, Buttercup. She moves in with her aunt, Sabine, a lawyer. But Ever soon notices that she has psychic abilities. For one, she can see her dead twelve-year-old sister, Riley. She can see auras and know a person's life story-and future-by touch. And she can read minds and intuit the contents of a book by placing her hand on it. So you can understand why she always hides under hoodies and listens to her i-pod. She sits at the D-Table with her two best friends, Miles, who is baby-faced and gay, and Haven, an attention-craving anonymous group addict who has a different style every month. Every day, she has to face torment by the A-List Queen Stacia and her Number Two, Honor. But that was before she meets Damen Auguste, the mysterious boy who lives in a completely empty house and can make flowers appear out of thin air. She feels like she's seen him before and feels weirdly attracted to him. Ever is shocked when she discovers what Damen really is: approximately six hundred years old and immortal. They soon get together, but their happiness is short lived: Damen's immortal wife, Drina, is set on keeping them appart by killing Ever. After Ever accidentally kills Drina by hitting her weak chakra, Damen tells her the truth about herself: She survived the car accident because Damen saved her by making her immortal. In all of Ever's previous lives, jealous Drina had come between them, and this time, he couldn't bear to lose her again. But that was just the beginning. Somehow, everything manages to work against them, until Ever notices it's because of their karma and sets off on a journey to make them mortal again.

Diary of a wimpy kid
Diary of a wimpy kid follows Greg Heffley from his first day of middle school on. The series is really funny because it's told from Greg's point of view and he has the most hilarious sarcasm. He also likes to think that everything he does is right and it's all someone elses fault, but no one understands him. He gets into all sorts of embarrassing situations and always finds some way out.Whether he's on vacation, taking swim lessons his dad is forcing on him, staying with his grandfather or opening his presents too early, he always manages to embarrass himself. Greg tells us the truths of life, in a fresh-faced, ignorant kind of way that really makes you laugh. These books are just amazing. I seriously don't know how Jeff Kinney does it, but everything in these books falls perfectly into place and makes a nice, finished story that is so amazingly whole and perfect. There are six books and more coming, which is good because once you started, you won't be able to get enough. I recommend these books with the warning that they're addictive!

Un Lun Dun
Strange things are happening to Zanna. Animals are treating her with a weird sort of respect, a woman on the street calls her the "Shwazzy" and her father, in a strange sort of trance, hits her friend with his car. Zanna gets a card in the mail that has "Zanna Moon Shwazzy" written on it. She moves in with her best friend Deeba, because her father needs some time off after the incident. The girls at school avoid her because they're scared. But apart from that, every thing is sort of normal. Until one night, Deeba and Zanna follow a broken umbrella into a basement and find a wheel. Zanna turns the wheel, feeling like for some reason she has to. Deeba and Zanna run out of the basement and find themselves somewhere completely different. It doesn't really calm them down when they notice that there are weird symbols in their cell phones and a trash heap starts attacking them. When they meet Obaday Fing, who sews "haute couture" out of book pages, he explains that they're in an Abcity, UnLondon, and helps them get to the Pons Absconditus where the Propheseers work. The Propheseers know all about Zanna's destiny to combat the Smog that threatens to kill all of the inhabitants of UnLondon. But when some Stink-Junkies (who are contolled by the Smog) come, Zanna is powerless and is forced to go back to London, having lost all memory of UnLondon. For a while everything goes back to normal, until Deeba finds out that many of the Propheseers' allies are in league with the Smog and goes back. But how can a twelve year old girl, a half ghost and a talking book that contains wrong prophecies save the whole Abcity?

Replica
Amy ist ein ganz normales mädchen in der Pubertät. Deshalb treten in ihrem Körper auch ungewöhnliche Veränderungen auf. Sagt Tasha. Und der Grund dafür, das ihre Mutter sich in letzter Zeit so komisch benimmt, als könne sie sie von einem Tag auf den nächsten verlieren, ist das Nancy Candler einfach nicht damit auskommt, das ihre Tochter Amy erwachsen wird. Sagt Tasha. Doch plötzlich sind die veränderungen in Amys Körper nicht mehr ganz so normal. Ein normaler Teenager kann nicht kilometerweit sehen und hören. Ein normaler Teenager kann keine sachen, die er oder sie nur aus dem Fernsehen kennt genau nachmachen. Die einzige Erklärung, die sie von ihrer Mutter bekommt, ist: 'Verstecke deine Fähigkeiten mal lieber.' Und eine Erklärung kann man das auch nicht wirklich nennen. Aber Amy will mehr wissen, und erfährt schließlich was sie ist und wie viele Leute hinter ihr her sind. Nur mit der hilfe ihrer besten Freundin Tasha und dessen Bruder Eric behält Amy die Sache in Hand... Aber nicht mehr lange!
In dieser Serie gibt es sehr viele Bücher, die ich zum Teil noch gar nicht gelesen habe. Wie bei vielen großen Serien sind die Bücher zum Teil etwas flüchtig oder unlogisch geschrieben, doch im Großem und Ganzem eine spannende und interessante Serie.

Kobato
Kobato, a young girl, must pass tests to prove she can live with humans, so that she can earn a bottle that she then must fill with people's suffering. Then only is she allowed to go to her dream place. She is accompanied by a flame-spitting blue talking stuffed dog, who is, to say the least, quite impatient. Ioryogi, who's real name is Iorogi, often gets mad at Kobato because of her naive outlook on the world. This results in a fit, often (always) including flame-spitting. With only a handbag and a stuffed dog to her name, Kobato sets out to heal people's inner wounds. She rents an appartment, gets a job, and heals her first wound, thinking she healed the little boy's wound not because she says his divorced mother is wonderful, but because she played on the swings with him! (See what I mean with naive?) For a moment, everything is perfect. But then.... the nursery school she works at has money problems, and Sakaya and Fujimoto(who also work there, Sakaya owns the school) don't know what to do. Kobato knows it's up to her to save the school. Ever-smiling, she brings a ray of sunshine into the dark future of the school. The children love her. But when Kobato realizes she loves Fujimoto, and even her world gets shaken up, she loses control of the situation...

Gamer Girl
Gamer Girl by Mari Mancusi tells the story of a girl, Maddy, who is forced to move after her parents divorce. The problem is, she's not just moving anywhere. Over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house we go. And woods aren't so far off from the suburbs where her grandmother lives. And to make things worse, she has to go to Hannah Dustin High School, a public school full of Aberzombies, with a popular gang that rules the school. Okay, this isn't Boston Academy, but it's okay, right? I mean surely their are goths and sk8ter dudes, right? Wrong. Maddy is a complete outsider. No one wants to have anything to do with her, especially not after she comes to school on her first day wearing a shirt with unicorns on the front (her unicorn obsessed grandma didn't think her goth look was "appropriate" and decided to lend her some clothes)and her grandma embarrasses the king of the school, Billy Henderson, by loudly exclaiming how she knew him when he still wet his bed. To make matters worse, she has a huge crush on Billy's best friend, Chad Murray. But her life takes a turn for the better when she gets a game, "Fields of Fantasy", and as an online character that is the complete opposite of herself, she finds adventure, fun, and maybe even love. That's when she decides to take matters in her own hands and stand up for herself...
This is a good, interesting book that you won't be able to put down. It may not be so well written, but plunge into the story and you'll forget the writing.

Ember. Dark, cold, full of artificial lights. This is the world. Beyond lie the Unknown Regions. Uninhabitable wasteland, with monsters and gigantic holes. Stay in Ember and you'll be safe, Lina. Ember is a speck of light in a dark world. The Builders built it for us, we must be thankful. Here we have all our needs. Yeah right. The food is running out, the generator is breaking... Ember is a dying city. No one knows that, however. Wait, who's that? Doon Harrow, the silent boy who never speaks? Who used to be Lina's best friend? Surely he couldn't have to do with anything? Why is he throwing that piece of paper at the floor? His job assignment? But he's messenger, the job Lina wanted the most! What's that the mayor is saying? Lina Mayfleet is Pipeworks laborer? But that's the worst job ever! What is Doon saying now? He wants to trade with Lina? He wants to be where the generator is, so that he can fix it. Doon knows what is going on? Lina makes a shocking discovery that leads them into a big adventure. They uncover a dark secret of the mayor. Doon and Lina know they have to get out of Ember before the lights go off!

A man named Tick leads an army of Emberites against the population of Sparks, due to disrespect on part of the people of Sparks. But Doon and Lina discover that something is wrong, and they have to stop the attack before it's too late! Then Doon and Lina find out that there might be something back in Ember that will help the people of Sparks survive the harsh winter, and he and Lina head back in search of it. But they find Ember in a state neither of them would have suspected...
Very good series, though the third book, that I haven't described here, has a different storyline and isn't as good. The third book only takes you back in time, though, so if you take my advice and don't read it, trust me, you won't be missing out on anything. I strongly recommend the first, second, and fourth book, though.

Twilight
Twilight tells the heartwarming story of Bella, a 17-year-old girl who meets an unnaturally beautiful boy and his family and falls "unconditionally and irrevocably" in love with him-only to find out that he and his family are vampires. "Vegetarian" vampires, yes, but still vampires. And what does it matter if they only drink animal blood? Anyone can lose control. Edward certainly thinks so, and tells Bella it would be better if they weren't friends. But their longing for each other becomes too strong, they have to be together, they have to make it work... And suddenly Bella finds a whole family of friends. Alice, Carlisle, Esme, Jasper and Emmett would love to have her in their family, but Edward doesn't want to turn her into a vampire, for he believes vampires have no soul. His sister Rosalie thinks the same, and has something against Bella... And when three vampires from another coven arrive, one of them starts tracking Bella. She flees, but he catches up to her... Buy A.S.A.P!!! There are four books, so you won't run out of story. The books are very interesting, touching and adventurous. One book will leave you hungry for more!

The tale of Desperaux
This heartwarming story tells of a mouse that falls in love. But this mouse has a big problem: he loves the princess! That in itself might not have been a problem, but the princess is HUMAN!!! And as if that weren't bad enough, the whole castle is the enemy of mice! Well, not exactly of mice. Of rats. But where the royal family is concerned, there is absolutely zero difference. A rat killed the queen. That was enough evidence for them that rodents are horrible creatures. Only the princess, Pea, seems to understand him. Unfortunately he is found at her feet by his brother, and has to go to prison, the dungeon. There he meets Gregory, the Jailer, and quite a few rats. Roscuro, the "head rat", whose heart has been broken by the princess, makes up a war plan. He will use jealous Miggery Sow and have her kill the princess. Then the rats will take over the castle. Desperaux finds out the plan and desperately wants to help. He must save the princess! But what can a little mouse do on its own? A must-have for every bookshelf, this is a true masterpiece.
Rating and review: How I Survived Middle School
I will NOT review every single book but they have the same background so one will keep the promise of its companions... This series is good for middle school girls, who can compare themselves with the characters. It also shows how hard life in middle school can be, with bullies and Pops and all that, while still conserving a certain sense of humor. I do NOT, however, recommend this series to boys, but that is most likely obvious. Just the same, if you are a boy, I recommend you take this book to your mother and tell her to please put it back where it came from!!
