I have been reading a lot more and working my butt off getting LGBT Week together. I have also been thinking about switching my blog over to another one once LGBT Week is over. What do you guys think about that? Will you follow me over on the new blog?<br /><br />As for the update I don't really have much to tell you. I thought a weekly update would be good but now I'm thinking it might not be. More prizes have been added but I want to keep what they are a secret.<br /><br />I guess I can tell you that so far I will be reviewing:<br /><br />Luna by Julie Anne Peters<br />Keeping You A Secret by Julie Anne Peters<br />Anne On My Mind by Nancy Garden<br />The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson<br />Freaks and Revelations by Davida Wills Hurwin<br /><br />I have more books coming to review. I can keep you updated on that.<br /><br />If you have any questions let me know.<br /><br />Please help spread the word about LGBT Week by adding the button to your blog:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheNr5fqERTgGCRZhjqGINi54k8x8i8gEYTVEeDaLz52eGp9FM13JBoaeOlF8xfyr649tS7NXCdcA-qyKwbsRomYEzXcNEPb1gWyvoGKoDSwpkvSWXJgYCld1EInNg9mdk9PFdua78GeUAK/s1600/rae_lgbt_banner_embed.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 198px; height: 161px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheNr5fqERTgGCRZhjqGINi54k8x8i8gEYTVEeDaLz52eGp9FM13JBoaeOlF8xfyr649tS7NXCdcA-qyKwbsRomYEzXcNEPb1gWyvoGKoDSwpkvSWXJgYCld1EInNg9mdk9PFdua78GeUAK/s320/rae_lgbt_banner_embed.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472794811514796754" /></a><br /><br />Thank you <a href="http://brightnepenthe.blogspot.com/">Marielle</a> for making it for me!!Rae Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830109712330371937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764505621315956749.post-63166473597374121142010-05-18T18:52:00.000-07:002010-05-18T19:03:50.105-07:00LGBT Week Updates (1)Hey guys, I have decided that every Tuesday I will post an update to let you know what is going on with LGBT Week. I am so sorry that this post, the first one (crap), is so late.<br /><br />So far I can promise that there will be:<br /><br />Five book reviews (I am hoping for more)<br />Interviews with some authors<br />Giveaways with some great prizes<br /><br />I am still working on more. If you have any ideas/suggestions or if you would like to donate something to a giveaway, Please send me an email: rae_reads@hotmail.com <strong>with the subject: LGBT Week</strong><br /><br />Every week I will also be putting up a new poll that has something to do with LGBT Week.

The only bad part is I didn't think it would take <em>this</em> much time.<br /><br />I will be taking a break from the book I am reading (Black Magic Sanction by Kim Harrison) and from doing reviews until after July 4th. I just have too much to do and little time to do it.<br /><br />I will still be reading and writing reviews, you just wont get to see them until LGBT Week. I have a lot of ideas and I think it is all going to come together and be a wonderful 10 days.<br /><br />I will keep doing the memes that I have been participating in and some other things that don't take much time.<br /><br />I will also post updates about LGBT Week every Tuesday.<br /><br />If you would like to be involved with LGBT Week or donate to the giveaway, please send me an email at: rae_reads@hotmail.comRae Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830109712330371937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764505621315956749.post-14655052633975327022010-05-12T19:53:00.000-07:002010-05-12T19:59:55.505-07:00You don't want to miss this!!<a href="http://hookedonyabooks.blogspot.com/2010/05/super-huge-mega-crazy-birthday-bash.html">Hooked on YA Books</a> is having Super Huge Mega Crazy Birthday Bash Contest.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguKh8RCNEW94WYNilqrFwKf6qn5Ei21xCjhvw9g5aQvCyu4rEDCZyp-GvOS9UM1X40Krj2iFDdV3mI9800tXsZsL6r3_vWN1OFn13nBLYlEGWm6pjW6W5leBX2lqPwdpio2BpGCqCe9jnn/s1600/birthdaybashfinish1111-1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguKh8RCNEW94WYNilqrFwKf6qn5Ei21xCjhvw9g5aQvCyu4rEDCZyp-GvOS9UM1X40Krj2iFDdV3mI9800tXsZsL6r3_vWN1OFn13nBLYlEGWm6pjW6W5leBX2lqPwdpio2BpGCqCe9jnn/s320/birthdaybashfinish1111-1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470583655085153138" /></a><br /><br />There will be at least 7 winners.

Luckily for Shelby, she is allowed to choose the artsy Camp Crescent instead of Priscilla's choice of Red Canyon-aka boot camp from hell. Camp turns out not to be a total waste even with the preachy Mr. Winters and singing guitar lady Cynthia. Shelby manages to make some new friends, but the real highlight is the arrival of Austin Bridges III. Not only is he the son of a legendary rock star, but he is also cute, kind, intriguing, and totally mysterious. Shelby is drawn to him and the terrible dark family secret that he is willing to share only with her. How can she turn her back on him, especially with the fully moon only a few nights away? Davis weaves together a fast-paced action adventure story with issues of peer pressure, divorce, betrayal, friendship, acceptance, and, of course, romance. Shelby is fearless and impulsice, but she is also a caring soul who just needs to find her way in a confusing world. This novel has great teen appeal but is not as dark or edgy as others in this genre. It will leave reads wanting more. </div><div>-Donna Resenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY</div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Never-Cry-Werewolf-Heather-Davis/dp/B003GAN3IC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273640000&sr=1-1">Amazon.com</a></div></div>Rae Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830109712330371937noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764505621315956749.post-70169262633518730262010-05-11T21:07:00.000-07:002010-05-17T18:08:11.156-07:00LGBT Week<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8Gyg7oWOZ3VhOQKiYTAN_BZkVB7J8DBI_hAgajmH0QaPvI9onfKs3A5ZNbiRmFz0hXjOn2AE34uT8TqKiYKi5y3sE_P1Fhu7mLkxY6ADlre_OQoecjONGm2lcMkybMuyvT1yh1YIHOQs/s1600/pride.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470230330273166562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8Gyg7oWOZ3VhOQKiYTAN_BZkVB7J8DBI_hAgajmH0QaPvI9onfKs3A5ZNbiRmFz0hXjOn2AE34uT8TqKiYKi5y3sE_P1Fhu7mLkxY6ADlre_OQoecjONGm2lcMkybMuyvT1yh1YIHOQs/s320/pride.jpg" /></a> When: Friday June 25th - Sunday July 4th, 2010 (10 days)!<br /><br />What: I'm still working on this part.

But that was before I saw my first ghost. Now along with my supernatural friends Tori, Derek, and Simon, I'm on the run from the Edison Group, which genetically altered us as part of their sinister experiment. We're hiding in a safe house that might not be as safe as it seems. We'll be gone soon anyway, back to rescue those we'd left behind and take out the Edison Group . . . or so we hope. <br /><br />Credit: <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Reckoning-Darkest-Powers-Book/dp/0385665369/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273468705&sr=1-1">Amazon.ca</a><br /><br /><strong>My thoughts:</strong> I absolutely loved this book! Out of the three this one is my favorite. I honestly don't even know where to begin.<br /><br />Tori and Simon were hilarious as usual. Chloe became stronger, more powerful and finally decided who she wanted to be with. Derek...again I don't know where to begin. He is one of my favorite characters and not just in the Darkest Powers trilogy.<br /><br />This book is impossible to put down and is probably the best book I have read so far this year. I want to pick it back up and reread it right now.<br /><br /><strong>My rating:</strong> 5 out of 5Rae Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830109712330371937noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764505621315956749.post-85862583742855492852010-05-09T21:45:00.001-07:002010-05-09T21:53:20.574-07:00Review: Waking Up in The Land of Glitter<strong>Waking Up in the Land of Glitter: A Crafty Chica Novel by Kathy Cano-Murillo</strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEeYlT6y_Ptsv94LSaBMLXKm_RfMcWVQUfOOOW2ke0x8nkcmDEjMhBDW94qbWbT6GE1075FXn5IQKIZxvCq5SrRxPzfofGnoMxxRdEL3OGVnKoVfpjFiR62AEMWg9pJJsaKl8qVW8DJG4J/s1600/land%2520of%2520glitter.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEeYlT6y_Ptsv94LSaBMLXKm_RfMcWVQUfOOOW2ke0x8nkcmDEjMhBDW94qbWbT6GE1075FXn5IQKIZxvCq5SrRxPzfofGnoMxxRdEL3OGVnKoVfpjFiR62AEMWg9pJJsaKl8qVW8DJG4J/s320/land%2520of%2520glitter.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469498206873517314" /></a><br /><strong>Description:</strong> With glue guns, glitter, twigs, or yarn, the ordinary can become extraordinary . . . especially at La Pachanga. Owned by Estrella "Star" Esteban's family, the restaurant has a rep for two things: good food and great art. La Pachanga brings people together-even when it looks like they couldn't be further apart.<br /><br />One ill-fated evening, Star jeopardizes her family's business, her relationship with her boyfriend, and her future career. To redeem herself, she agrees to participate in a national craft competition, teaming up with her best friend, Ofelia-a secretly troubled mother whose love for crafting borders on obsession-and local celebrity Chloe Chavez-a determined television personality with more than one skeleton in her professional closet. If these unlikely allies can set aside their differences, they'll find strength they never knew they had, and learn that friendship, like crafting, is truly an art form.<br /><br />Credit: <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Waking-Up-Land-Glitter-Crafty/dp/0446509248/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273467084&sr=1-1">Amazon.ca</a><br /><br /><br /><strong>My thoughts:</strong> I really enjoyed this book. I laughed and I cried (thanks to Star and Theo) which doesn't happen to often. Their relationship just got to me. <br />Ofie is my favorite character. I haven't been through anything that she has, yet I understand everything she was feeling. <br />As for Chloe, I went from wanting to smack her, to wanting to be her friend. <br />This book had my emotions all over the place which has made this review very hard for me to write. In the end, I would have to say that this is yet another book that I would recommed.<br /><br /><strong>My rating:</strong> 3 out of 5Rae Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830109712330371937noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764505621315956749.post-78304941062342859662010-05-09T10:00:00.000-07:002010-05-09T10:18:34.870-07:00In My Mailbox<strong>Happy Mothers Day!</strong><br /><br />In My Mailbox was started by <a href="http://www.thestorysiren.com/">The Story Siren</a>.<br /><br /><strong>Bought: </strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5TSiFf5d1AHnKAWPJDo3ucM9FB508_gusvFU6eaRbIxn4ge8SqWwovUVGQA-sMl8F3wgqkcgqVRPD8uvNCXlQcFF3RkJtobuh_4ia639yt2LNAcWn1tADOwo7Y1EPjf6wd4-X5H6l3zT/s1600/IMG000281.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Abigail wants to hunt and kill vampires, so even though Whistler doesn't want that kind of life for his daughter, he trains her.<br /><br />Eventually Abigail meets Hannibal and decides to give him a chance to take his life back.<br /><br />I don't want to give too much away for those of you who haven't read it or seen the movie. <br /><br />I loved it! Abigail Whistler is sexy and such a bad ass. Hannibal is, of course, hilarious. If you have the DVD and haven't read this, you have to do so.<br /><br />My rating: 4 out 5Rae Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830109712330371937noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764505621315956749.post-68792490557299519212010-05-05T05:53:00.000-07:002010-05-06T11:51:58.782-07:00Review: Twilight The Graphic Novel Volume 1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykWjI1HLOAH1_tNSbDZvgSU3zJe0J3oDCss0oGr93ekyajY93r41I1XiiI6-E7SUP9Namg_uPqTDPqo2LM16tucQ2-Pb7vAW-8BIYFFnRwOziM24ik94aSME7Rcx7BTd6r0I5qCkYeDfq/s1600/twilight-graphic-novel_353x5201.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykWjI1HLOAH1_tNSbDZvgSU3zJe0J3oDCss0oGr93ekyajY93r41I1XiiI6-E7SUP9Namg_uPqTDPqo2LM16tucQ2-Pb7vAW-8BIYFFnRwOziM24ik94aSME7Rcx7BTd6r0I5qCkYeDfq/s320/twilight-graphic-novel_353x5201.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467768549443307522" /></a><br />It only took me about 10-15 minutes to read so this is going to be a short review.<br /><br />I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it as I'm not the biggest Twilight fan to begin with. I have never read a graphic novel before either, though I have been meaning to for awhile. <br /><br />Young Kim did an amazing job and every page is absolutely gorgeous. The only problem I had with it was that it came to an end so abruptly. I wish it was a little bit longer.<br /><br />In the end would I recommend it to my friends? Yes, I would. It's a fast, beautiful read. I may even take a few minutes later this week and read it again.<br /><br />My rating: 3 out of 5Rae Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830109712330371937noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764505621315956749.post-39905931401125318902010-05-05T01:20:00.000-07:002010-05-05T08:34:44.125-07:00Waiting on Wednesday/A-Z WednesdayWaiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at <a href="http://breakingthespine.blogspot.com/">Breaking the Spine</a>. <br /><br /><strong>Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead</strong> <br /><br /><strong>Release date: May 18, 2010</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqfuoIJpq6f-Y9dBuI1z7BlNPEt1jOk4C0H2xt3THPVrVKajpeWCUIv4h3OEFtbcDvLPMdU3LnIKOwGXFpPaIBltBYEYdUL_4VwQua-cBcnyns8qKMulTIcgayeJF89qRTwD7ieKAi4TbD/s1600/n117162808240_3538.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqfuoIJpq6f-Y9dBuI1z7BlNPEt1jOk4C0H2xt3THPVrVKajpeWCUIv4h3OEFtbcDvLPMdU3LnIKOwGXFpPaIBltBYEYdUL_4VwQua-cBcnyns8qKMulTIcgayeJF89qRTwD7ieKAi4TbD/s320/n117162808240_3538.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467700341232061874" /></a><br /><br />Dimitri gave Rose the ultimate choice. But she chose wrong...<br /><br />After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri's birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir's-and to her best friend, Lissa. It is nearly graduation, and the girls can't wait for their real lives beyond the Academy's iron gates to begin. But Rose's heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows he's out there, somewhere.<br /><br />She failed to kill him when she had the chance. And now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and now he is hunting her.
