By now, most people are familiar with Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga, but not all know about her other book and movie adaptation. The Host hits theaters this March, and I don't think I have ever been more excited for a Sci-Fi movie.

Earth has been invaded by an alien species who believe the human race is far too violent. The aliens are called Souls, and they can take over the mind and body of a human Host. When humans start to notice a change in some of their neighbors, friends, and family, many decide it is time to go into hiding.  Melanie would do anything to keep her brother Jamie, and the love of her life, Jared, safe. This includes Melanie trying to kill herself, so that another Soul cannot access her memories to hunt them down. But Melanie survives, and she becomes the Host for the Soul, Wanderer. As Wanderer goes about her life she comes to the startling realization that Melanie refuses to fade away.

Wanderer now has to find a way to deal with the new and intense emotions that come with being a human. At the same time she is having a hard time breaking through the walls Melanie has put on her memories; Memories of Mel's brother and Jared. As Wanderer gets to know Melanie more, she feels the same desire to find them and make sure that they are safe. A relationship between Melanie and Wanderer begins to form, and soon they will stop at nothing to keep Jamie and Jared safe.

I know the cover is the typical young adult cover that is HORRIBLE and looks like a teen made it but, you must trust me when i say it is an AMAZING book. The only way I can describe this book is utterly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Celaena is the best young adult heroine I have read of by far.

The story begins taking you to Endovier, which is a salt mine that the highest criminals in Adarlan are taken to. Celaena, also know as Adarlans Assassin, was captured and had spent a year working the mines, put there by the king himself. But the Crown Prince Dorian comes to bargin with her. The king has decided to have a competition. With 23 members of his council, the king makes them choose their "Champion" all of which are thieves, assassins, and warriors. And the Kings son, decides to have Celaena, the greatest assassin in the world, as his champion, only to defy his father. He promises Celaena the one thing she has ever truely wanted, freedom. But it comes with a price. Celaena must win the competition, defeating all the champions in grueling tasks and tests, and if she wins, she must serve as the kings "Champion" for 4 years, killing for him and doing his bidding before she is released. If she doesnt win, she is sent back to Endovier and a certain death. But while Celaena is at the Glass Castle, something more comes out of her relationship with the prince.

You are led through the heart break of what Celaena had to encounter in the mines, and her courage to fight and never run, while she makes friends she can trust and relationships never to be broken. Amazing from start to finish I rate this book 5 stars and recommend to anyone looking for an kick butt heroine.

"In my opinion, if those girls hate me, it only means I must be doing something right." In Speechless, you meet Chelsea Knot, Queen-Bee Kristen's best friend, has always been know for having the juiciest gossip. But one night she sees something she shouldn't at a party, spreading gossip that leads to one student ending up in the hospital. Her best friends boyfriend, the one who put him there. Despite her best friends pleas, she goes to the police, causing Kristen to push her to the bottom social rung. Now Chelsea goes through school, with all her old friends and pretty much everyone else, hating her. Chelsea harassed with a daily onslaught of graffiti on her locker. She decides her words have hurt enough people and takes on a vow of silence. She makes unexpected friends in her silence and comes to wonder why she ever wanted to be popular in the first. This is a book that all teens should read and it holds a special place in my heart, and by far one of the best books I've read this year.. It shows us that our words hurt and we must think twice before saying what we want. One person can make a difference if they just speak out.

I understand this book is a little older, but what made me pick it up was the new CW television series based on this hit. They are so completely different, and I loved both stories equally, though the book is always better. The novel takes place in 1984, and is the prequel to Sex in the City. Carrie Bradshaw is seventeen years old and is just beginning her senior year in high school. Like the majority of the her school she falls for the gorgeous bad boy, Sebastian Kydd. The two have a bit of a history between their mothers, and they start to talk again. Soon enough Carrie and Sebastian are an item. The popular girls are the ones who take their jealousy a little too far, and harass Carrie. Carrie has already had a difficult life, her mother died, and she has a rebellious teenage sister whom she tries to guide. But what happens when all the pressure allows to many holes in her life. Will Sebastion get bored? Will her best friend stand up for her? How many betrayels will be made, and how will she ever deal with the huge secret of her best friend Walt. Well, I guess no one ever said high school was easy.
