Wrap Up #August

I must admit, I haven’t posted much this August.I was so busy again with homework us pupils…seemed like we were bombarded non-stop with tests by our teachers and it is still the case in September too! Another big problem was that I couldn’t go to the library for a week and I didn’t even get time to exchange during lunch time with revising before tests…

But the bright side of August is that we got our report sheets and report books and I was first in class! But I still guess I have to work harder because having 93.6% over hundred as average marks isn’t enough. The thing I really messed up was P.E. I really hate P.E because I am so bad at it and I got 70 over 100 so I am quite very bad among a class of 38 students where nearly everyone loves sports. Duh! Why I am so crappy at sports?

So let us continue…I am sure this list will be short.

This was a really nice story that I borrowed from my school library and if you really like YA and a little touch of crime, I would really recommend reading this book.

Remember Me Vol 2 by Christopher Pike

Also amazing end to the story. Only that one tip, do not read this review if you wanna read the series, it may contain some spoilers that may ruin the first book. Really enjoyable!

Final Friends Vol 1 by Christopher Pike

Same this also contains suspense and crime and I would highly recommend reading this book. The only little problem is that Vol 2 seems to be already extinct in my school library!😂😂

J’ai vraiment aimé ce livre. C’était vraiment sympa et je le recommanderais, mais ce n’est pas mon préféré. La seule chose qui manque est mon personnage préféré de Dan Brown, Robert Langdon à mon avis. Un joli livre!

Cheers from Hermione,

Have any of you read any of the books above? Tell me in the comments below! I would really love to chat with you friends!

Final Friends- A Book Review

I am so sorry for writing this late. I had my Art homework on collage and it took me FOREVER to complete it and I haven’t even finished it! It is on the theme, Wakashio boat so it is a bit complicated. The choice of colours is very time consuming. AND I have a small test for Social and Modern Studies on Thursday and I had to revise. I don’t even know why I started revising so late! BTW our teacher told us just last week. I have so many notes to revise and I have to memorize all of them! Duh!

So I think you can understand…let us start directly with the review.

Name: Final Friends (Volume 1) The Party and The Dance Part 1

Author: Christopher Pike

Genre: YA, Horror fiction, Mystery

Final Friends: Pike, Christopher: 9781444901306: Amazon.com: Books
Source: Amazon

The Party

Jessica Hart and her friend Alice McCoy decide to throw a party to get to know all the new guys and other people at their new school, Tabb High. Jessica and Alice could never have expected that anything could go very wrong…as wrong as murder…

Each of Jessica’s friends were given half a dozen of invitation cards. Having invited six friends each, the party begins…

Was the party a terrible mistake?…

The Dance Part 1

Michael Olson, Alice’s friend is determined to find her killer. Michael suspects Clark, this super mysterious boy who nobody knows about him, who is Alice’s boyfriend.

Is Michael right or is he wrong?

Michael gives Polly, Alice’s big sister, a form that will allow him to view the contents of Alice’s autopsy but Clark takes it away from his new girlfriend, Polly.

Will Michael be able to find what he is searching for?

My ratings: 4/9

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

This book was really a catching story. I was very right about reading this book😄. I love stories where you have a lot of suspense and crime. The bad news is that my next review won’t be on Book 2 of Final Friends because I didn’t find it at my school library and instead, I borrowed Deception Point, by Dan Brown in French. So that will be the next review.

Thanks for reading,

Hermione

This book was fabulous! I highly recommend reading the two volumes. It seems like even after a first book, the author was still full of amazing ideas to add to it.

Cheers!

My ratings: 4/9

Rating: 5 out of 5.

If I have to describe this book, there are so many words I could use to describe it. But for now I will only say that it was beautifully written and AMAZING!! I will definitely read other books by Christopher Pike. I was planning to read Final Friends yet but I guess the book in my school library seems to be borrowed by someone else before I even get there! Anyway, I still have to read Part 2 of Remember Me and as I said in my previous post, my book is still where I have hidden it, as long as other students don’t go peeking in the abandoned bookshelf I hid it in. It was the best place I could find and I was shocked myself to find out that somebody else had used my hiding place to hide one of the Twilight series book, Eclipse, there!

Maybe I should end there itself or otherwise you will all die of boredom. One thing I am sure of is that whenever someone talks to me about books, I end up speaking a lot more than listening to what they have to say😂.

See you again soon!

Le Symbole Perdu de Dan Brown

Well well, I have read only um… 5 books. Duh! I also read Remember Me Volume 1 by Christopher Pike on Tuesday but I was behind on writing the reviews so I didn’t get much time. This is a book I borrowed in my school library and guess what I did?

I HID THE PART TWO IN AN ABANDONED AND DUSTY BOOKSHELF SO THAT NOBODY COULD TAKE IT!

I must admit, I would go to any lengths to be able to keep a book for myself. Fortunately it is still hidden safely where I have put it…luckily…

…and there is no need to remind me…because I know that I am very not-so-nice.😶

By the way, goodbye for now!

Hermione

P.S. And I can’t believe that we are already in August! Have a good month everyone!

Ainsi que Da Vinci Code de Dan Brown, ce livre entre dans ma liste de mes livres préférés de Dan Brown. J’ai seulement lu trois de ses livres mais j’ai hâte de lire Inferno un jour quand j’aurai le temps.

Anges et Démons-Critique de Livre

Nom: Anges et Démons

Auteur: Dan Brown

Genre: Mystère, fiction

Anges et démons - Poche - Dan Brown, Roche Daniel - Achat Livre | fnac
Source: Fnac

Robert Langdon a été contacté en urgence par le directeur du CERN, Maximilian Kohler. En route pour Genève en Suisse, Robert pense à la mystérieuse photo du savant, Leonardo Vetra, dénudée, la tète tournée à 1800 face au sol, avec la chair de sa poitrine brulée en forme des lettres, Illuminati. Un mot qui peut être lu même de l’envers et qui n’a pas été vue pour une bonne partie de temps. Les Illuminati, qui est supposément une légende, semblent d’être de retour.

Et Robert Langdon a été contacté pour révéler le mystère donc lui seul et Maximilian Kohler savent de l’atrocité que Leonardo Vetra a été assassiné. Un secret que Vittoria Vetra, la fille de Leonardo Vetra ne connaisse qu’une partie de l’assassinat.

…plus important, la police n’a pas été alertée et personne d’autre dans le CERN savent la fin du savant…un gros secret pour les trois…et pour quelle raison Mons. Vetra est mort? Est-il parce-que du projet top-secret que Leonardo Vetra a créé, cette chose mystérieuse plus dangereuse qu’une bombe nucléaire ?

Mes notes : 4/9

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Ce livre contient BEAUCOUP de suspense ! Ces Illuminatis paraissent vraiment horribles ! Je n’arrive pas a croire qu’ils puissent faire ça ! Ce livre, merveilleux contient plein de surprises. J’ai raconté seulement 5% du livre, mais si vous le lisez… La seule chose que je peux dire c’est que 90% du livre parle de seulement d’une période de 6 heure temps. Une vraie chasse à l’homme.

Au revoir !

Belle histoire. Si vous avez lu Les Malheurs de Sophie et Les Petites Filles Modèles, la fin de la trilogie, ce livre et la plus jolie fin d’une histoire que j’ai jamais lu.

Merci d’avoir lu,

Catherine House-A Book Review

Name: Catherine House

Author: Elizabeth Thomas

Genre: Gothic, Fiction, Mystery

Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas
Origin of picture: Goodreads

This is the story of a very prestigious school, Catherine House, where only the brightest of students can attend. Students with horrific pasts…students who have been abandoned by their families…or who have been running away, like Ines.

Ines, a girl, attends Catherine House, the mysterious boarding school. Totally cut off from the outside world, not even capable of talking to their relatives. many students feel lonely, but still their determination and trust in Catherine is remarkable, especially those who have come here to learn plasm…the science of everything…the means of making and repairing and experimenting things by using plasm pins.

Ines makes friends with her roommate, Baby, a girl who attends Catherine in the hope to learn plasm.

Ines, is intrigued by plasm and its nature and also by a boy, called Sandy, with a strong resemblance to another boy in the picture of a dead student in a scrapbook in the library.

When Baby is killed, Ines is left alone wondering if she killed herself as of she was murdered. When Ines is sent to the restoration center, she is afraid of the plasm pins, that are going to be placed on her.

My ratings:

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Well, okay, this book can be described as fine. It was not really what I expected but I liked it. It is only that a few of the mysteries are left unanswered. I didn’t understand plasm very well because it was quite vague and I didn’t figure out why the students were kept locked in the school for three years. I didn’t really like the ending…

Anyways, I would recommend the book if you like mystery, gothic, well-explained surroundings(I loved the book because of that because I could exactly visualize the place exactly and I daresay, they were very beautiful).

Very nice book!

Tell me in the comments what you thought of the book!

Thanks for reading!

Hermione
