I am going to try and post about books I've read, maybe movies or anime that I have watched, and I guess whatever I feel about writing (if I ever do - oh dear, it shall be interesting to see how this works out.)
To start off I will review the book i just finished reading last night, "Bliss" by Lauren Myracle.
Bliss is about a girl (named Bliss) who was raised by her hippie parents, until her parents decided to escape to Canada in order to avoid the draft. Bliss goes to live with her strict Grandmother and is enrolled in Crestveiw Academy.
However it may sound so far, it is not your typical YA "coming-to-terms-with-your-differences" "everybody-is-friends-in-the-end" kinda novel.
No.
When Bliss gets to the school she hears the voice of a girl who had thrown herself out of one of the windows, back when the school was still a home to nuns.
The between every few chapters the reader is treated to a mysterious journal entry that fills you in on the darker happenings of the novel as Bliss just tries to get through her first year of high school.
The book is spooky, and suspenseful, and very well written. It captured my attention till the very end. The only problem I had with it was there, at the end. The book doesn't feel finished, and I don't want to spoil anything, but I can not believe that it can end like that. I am hoping for a sequel.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes magic, or the supernatural.
(Untill I figure how to make pictures links, I got the jacket photo of Bliss from here ->http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Bliss-Lauren-Myracle/9780810970717-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%2527lauren+myracle%2527 . Ugly, I know, but I will get it figured out soon!)
