I received my gifts from my lovely Secret Santa and boy was I surprised.
I received Tiger’s Voyage (which I am ecstatic about because I get to read it as much as I want), Everlost by Neal Shusterman, a great book bag from B&N, 4 beautiful book marks, and a wonderful journal.
This was such a great thing to do for a 2nd year running, and if you have a book blog, I encourage you to join in with the fun for next year.
Thank you to my Secret Santa – who ever you are!!!
Also thank you to the Book Blogger people for creating this wonderful event.

Review
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!! This book was AMAZING. The story was so captivating and I just could not put it down. There was so much romance, humor, and action and everything else that a great book should need. IT WAS AMAZING. I cannot wait for the next book Tiger’s Destiny which I believe is coming out in the Summer of 2012. The ending of the book kind of left you wondering and wanting to, no, needing to know what happened next. I am currently dying. I have to know what happens next in the story ASAP. But I know I said the same thing for Tiger’s Curse and Tiger’s Quest but this book tops them all. I liked this one the best out of them all. I just cannot describe it other than saying GET OUT TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. This is a must read series and if you don’t, you are missing out one something great.
Tell me what you think once you read it.

As Halloween is just around the corner I thought that I would start watching some Halloween movies. So, the other night I saw this DVD beckoning me, and it was an interesting one. So, I decided that it would be a great Halloween movie. Scary, exciting, with a little undead. So here we goooo…..

Review
This is the classic Dracula story with a nice twist. It had Frankenstein, it had werewolves, and other demonic creatures as well. This story is about Count Dracula and his mission to make his kind thrive, but then Van Helsing, his old enemy, arrives to make his life just a tad more difficult.
This is an amazing Halloween movie. The action was non-stop, there were some things which made you jump, but it was not too scary – for teens. This is the perfect movie for younger teens and up (14+.) There was some gore but it was not too bad. The monster got cut and the blood spurted but it was literally a frame and that was it. Some of the creatures in this movie were a little scary, like Dracula’s brides. I though that Richard Roxburgh was the perfect actor for Count Vladislaus Dracula. He looked like a Dracula to me and he played the part extremely well. Hugh Jackman was the hero of this film and he played his party of Van Helsing very well. He made his character come alive with his subtle jokes now and then. Then Kate Beckinsale played the beautiful Anna Valerious. She was not your ordinary woman. She would kick butt along side Van Helsing.
This story is perfect for a family with older teens. There is nothing sexual in this at all and there is only mild language like “godda**” and words like “oh my God.” Nothing too extreme at all. I loved this movie and I recommend watching it as it is a perfect Halloween movie, and Halloween is just around the corner.
I hope that you all enjoy it and tell me what you think!!
Yes this is a long video and I do not like posting long videos, but I think that this one is amazing. All of the effort which went into this. This must have taken ages. It is amazing to watch.
Here is something fun to do. How well do you know your fictional villains and anti-hero’s? Take this quiz at Guardian.co.uk and see how well you score.
You had better do better than me (3 out of 10 (obviously I don’t pay attention to villains.) I hope that you have fun.
