Uglies Series


Ok, sorry I haven't posted in a loooooong time!! :( But I will be adding a few book series todayy!! :D So don't worry.


Here's another series by Scott Westerfeld: The Uglies Series

Uglies is a very good series. You would probably like it if you like action and adventure. It is set in the future.

** If you don't want to read about the 2nd, 3rd and 4th book, don't read after the summary for uglies!! **

UGLIES





PRETTIES




SPECIALS




EXTRAS




Tally Youngblood, the main character, can't wait to become pretty. But when her new friend, Shay, runs away, Tally has to find her before she can be pretty. Shay ran away because she doesn't want to be pretty. So Tally goes out to find her, when she does find Shay, Tally stays and doesn't tell Shay about what she was supposed to do: Find Shay and come back.

Here is a summary of Uglies from http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24770.Uglies

Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license—for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.

But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world—and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.




Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she's completely popular. It's everything she's ever wanted.

But beneath all the fun -- the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom -- is a nagging sense that something's wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally's ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what's wrong with pretty life, and the fun stops cold.

Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life -- because the authorities don't intend to let anyone with this information survive.







The words have sent chills down Tally's spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor -- frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary.
And now she's been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid.
The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. Most of the time. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more.
Still, it's easy to tune that out -- until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she's programmed to complete. Either way, Tally's world will never be the same.



It's a few years after rebel Tally Youngblood took down the uglies/pretties/specials regime. Without those strict roles and rules, the world is in a complete cultural renaissance. "Tech-heads" flaunt their latest gadgets, "kickers" spread gossip and trends, and "surge monkeys" are hooked on extreme plastic surgery. And it's all monitored on a bazillion different cameras. The world is like a gigantic game of American Idol. Whoever is getting the most buzz gets the most votes. Popularity rules.

As if being fifteen doesn't suck enough, Aya Fuse's rank of 451,369 is so low, she's a total nobody. An extra. But that's just until she gets to kick a good story for herself.

Then Aya meets a clique of girls who pull crazy tricks, yet are deeply secretive of it. Aya wants desperately to kick their story, to show everyone how intensely cool the Sly Girls are. But doing so would propel her out of extra-land and into the world of fame, celebrity...and extreme danger. A world she's not prepared for.

Now, For Holly


Now I shall (do people still use the word 'shall'??? Oh well!) tell you a little bit about my little cat, Holly!

Holly is white with brown spots. She has a black patch on her nose. Holly is one of the sweetest cats I've ever known. She is a year and 9 months. She was born on November 7th.

Here she is:




Cute, huh? :)

I love my Holly!!

When we first got Holly she was kinda shy and stayed in my room most of the time. She would always hiss at new people. Now she doesn't. Holly used to be very hyper and active. She has calmed down since then and we are all very glad. Occasionally she will run around. Holly is an outdoor cat and she loves it out there. She loves chasing butterflies, flies and pretty much anything that flies. Holly would used to catch dragonflies and eat them. Thankfully she doesn't any more.

Holly has definitely matured from her hyper & crazy ways but, I still love her!! <3

All About Nikko


Nikko is one of the WEIRDEST cats alive.

He rarely meows, hides in the dryer, pukes under the T.V. Why Nikko? Why? I don't understand.

Well, before we got Nikko, he was abused :( poor kitty. Now, he has trust issues. That would probably explain the rarely meowing, but it doesn't explain hiding in the dryer or puking under the T.V.

He is a grey cat with white paws and belly. He has blackish eyes.





See?
But I still love you Nikko!!!


P.S. Sorry it took me so long to post this!!
