The List, by Siobhan Vivian

okay so i read this book a while ago (i think it was sometime early this year) and i really loved it and basically its really good and super deep and yeah so
so basically its about this high school where every year before homecoming, a list is posted around the school by an unknown person and the list is basically of the prettiest and ugliest girls in each grade. this has been happening for a long time, so it couldnt possibly be the same person, and it happens every year without fail. basically the girls this year have different reactions but the principal this year is new and she wants to find out who did it and the whole book is kind of about how the different girls react and how their friends and family react and its really interesting and its super emotional and deep and stuff and so basically these are the girls
9th grade:
Prettiest:Abby - shes superficial and annoying and shallow and all she cares about is how she looks and shes supposed to be annoying (who has a sister named fern who is older and super genius and smart and no life and she was voted ugliest a few years ago) but shes so happy she doesnt see anything wrong
Ugliest: Danielle - shes super into swim and she made it on the highschool team in freshman year and basically shes worried about how her boyfriend will take the news but shes also glad because she gets so much attention from it but people keep bullying her and calling her Dan the Man
10th grade
Prettiest: Lauren - was previously homeschooled and its her first year at public school and she makes friends because of the list so shes happy
Ugliest: Candace - who is actually gorgeous but really mean and all her friends ditch her for lauren after shes chosen as ugliest so shes kind of mad
11th grade:
Prettiest: Bridget - whos little sister is abby's best friend and shes bulimic and she knows that its bad and shes trying to stop but since she got the prettiest she thinks that it must be making her prettier so she keeps doing it
Ugliest: Sarah - i personally hated her because she was always really "dont care about anything" and when she got ugliest she snapped and she just stopped taking showers or changing clothes or brushing her teeth and she smelled super bad and everyone avoided her and she was soo grooss like there was fuzz on her tongue and ewwww it was disgusting
12th grade
Prettiest: Margo - who used to be best friends with Jennifer but stopped after it was "uncool" and im not gonna explain cuz thats a huge part of the story and shes happy but i guess she expected it and she does realize that the list isnt good
Ugliest: Jennifer - whos been chosen as ugliest for all four years of high school and shes just kind of immune to it now and she doesnt care too much but it still hurts and yeah she realizes the list is bad and stuff but shes like "i cant do anything about it"

so the whole plot is finding out who wrote it but the interesting thing is how these characters deal with it and theyre such different people in such different situations but theyre the same in some ways and its really great how she develops the characters
so like 9/10 because if you werent super into books like this it could get boring i guess but i love these kinds of books
and if you liked books like 13 reasons why, id recommend this one
so heres the cover

Pendragon Series, by DJ MacHale

so woo this is my second blog post today im on a roollll jk i probably wont finish this by today cuz i have like 6 minutes and i havent read these books in yeaaarrss but theyre such amazing books i love them so much its a series of 10 books:

1. The Merchant of Death
2. The Lost City of Faar
3. The Never War
4. The Reality Bug
5. Black Water
6. Rivers of Zadaa
7. Quillan Games
8. Pilgrims of Rayne
9. Raven Rise
10. The Soldiers of Halla

and basically theres like 10 worlds or something like that and each world is connected by portals but most people on earth dont know about other worlds but other worlds know about other worlds and bobby pendragon is supposed to prevent this one guy Saint Dane who actually wants to like collapse all the portals to combine all the worlds but that would kill a bunch of people and be really bad for things so each book is essentially him in one world trying to catch saint dane and eventually his friends mark and courtney get involved (spoiler alert: courtney is more than just a friend hint hint nudge nudge) and yeah so thats basically the whole summary and since its been so long since ive read them i dont remember the individual plot lines but thats kind of the whole story and theyre realllyyy good books and theyre so well written and super original and the characters develop really well by the end but i do remember wishing that they had resolved the books a little better i dont really remember why??? im sorry this is a bad post and again is doesnt do these books justice but its okay cuz theyre sooooo gooooooooooooooood asdfghjkl but i didnt even ship bobby and courtney that hard but idk maybe it was because i was kind of younger when i read the books and i didnt ship things that aggressively but idk it wasnt that feelsy but a good thing was there was nooooo love triangle!! i was so happy.

*side note on love triangles: they are the most overdone things in the world and right now i am so absolutely sick of them i am willing to read anything as long as theres no love triangle. not that im hating on the books that do have love triangles but most of the time books would be 28347023 times better if they didnt have them bc seriously like almost every book i read has one and its ssooo hard to find books that dont and honestly theyre just annoying and most of the time you end up hating all three people but most of all the girl/boy who cant choose between the two and it doesnt matter how well written or original or amazing a series is a love triangle will rarely ever not annoy me and most of the time they dont even give you feels and if they do its terrible because they just wont get together and sometimes she chooses the wrong guy and even if she doesnt end up with him in the end its still really annoying and i hate it a lot and i especially hate it when they leave one character alone because as much as the characters annoy me i still want them to be happy and if two of them get a happy ending then why cant all of them or at least have the decency to kill them or make them not into girls/boys so theres no problem there but when theyre just left heartbroken it kills me because no one deserves that and love triangles get a lot less annoying when the author brings in a character number 4 so that it becomes like a square but then it works out in the end and its happy and not cliche and nice but still not as nice as it would be if there hadnt been a love triangle to begin with and right now im reading this book called graceling which according to maryam doesnt have a love triangle and i was so desperate i didnt even wait for it at the library i bought it on my kindle and im on like chapter 3 (im sorry ive been studying for the AP too okay) and so far there has been a love interest introduced but only onneee and i know its too soon to tell but i trust maryam (mostly) so im excited and yeah this was really long side note but whatever



so anyway theres not too many characters in these books that are present for the whole series bc every book is in a different world and the people that bobby meets dont often travel with him so i cant really pick a character without re reading the whole series which i might do this summer when i go to india and get really bored but anyway so heres all the covers: 

Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

so its been like 289347 years since ive written one of these and now im writing one so this one might be kind of bad but thats okay bc i dont care
so anyway beautiful creatures is one of my favorite books theres a series of 4 books (beautiful creatures, beautiful darkness, beautiful chaos, and beautiful redemption) and theyre soooo good.
 theyre set in a a small southern town in south carolina called Gatlin. Ethan Wate is the main character and he thinks hes normal (spoiler alert: hes not) but then this girl named lena duchannes moves to the town. her uncle is the "boo radley" of the town, and she doesnt fit in very well anyway. she is whats called a caster: she has powers to like create lighting and move stuff. you know. the usual. but more on that later.  so lena can communicate telepathically with ethan and they become friends and (spoiler alert) eventually more than that.
basically they both start getting creepy visions of their ancestors and they both realize that there is way more going on here. so this part gets really complicated and confusing to explain, but when i was reading i knew exactly what was happening; unfortunately its been a few months since ive read these books. (i read them in october) so yeah. but then a lot of spoopy stuff happens and they find out a bunch of stuff.
so basically lena is a caster but in her family (just her family no one elses) the casters don't get the power to choose whether they will be a light (good) or a dark (bad) caster. so i guess that means that the dark casters arent necessarily bad in her family, but more on that later. so lenas 16th birthday is approaching and she is going to become a full caster and whoever it is or whatever it is that chooses for her is going to choose. but lena becomes the exception to this no choice rule, so shes able to choose (so being the outcasts of the outcasts makes her normal: helpful hint: this isnt always true in real life) but the problem is if she chooses light, all the dark casters in her family die but if she chooses dark then the light casters die and she doesnt want to because like i said: theyre not necessarily evil or good. so she procrastinates and some serious stuff happens and basically shes given another year to choose.
 i know this is a really bad summary but its beEN A WHILE CUT ME SOME SLACK and im not doing the book any justice at all because not only is the magic/spooopy stuff plotline amazing, the whole southern small town thing is done amazzinngglyy and theyre such well written books and one of my favvvorite things is that thereS NO LOVE TRIANGLE!!!!!!!!!! NONE!!!!!!!!!! WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!!! UNTIL A LITTLE LATER IN THE SERIES BUT NOT IN THE FIRST BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i loooveee ridley because she comes off all badass and unapproachable and sarcastic but actually she has feelings!!!hjesdf if you havent already noticed i have a thing for characters who hide their feelings (nico,leo,eight,finnick,will,jace,etc.) and yeah so but these books are super good and you should read them and also theres a movie which i havent watched yet but i think i should because the books are good but as much as i didnt do it justice, movies rarely do either.
but yeah overall opinion is 10/10 theyre addicting and so well written and the plotline is really original and it combines two really different worlds really well so yeah i know this post is way out of order and theres not all those things that i usually do so sorry but i havent done this in a while so my next one will be better (probably not but whatever)

so heres the book cover                           and heres the movie poster
