Title: All Unquiet Things





Author: Anna Jarzab





Published: New York : Delacorte Press, 2010





Pages: 339





Snippet: "I put my hand to my head, suddenly dizzy."





Summary: After the death of his ex-girlfriend Carly, northern California high school student Neily joins forces with Carly's cousin Audrey to try to solve her murder.





Review: I am a huge fan of mystery stories and when I read that All Unquiet Things was a mystery story with no supernatural or paranormal elements I thought I'd give it a go.

I have mixed feelings about All Unquiet Things. The first part is kind of slow and the character's weren't that interesting in the first part either.

Luckily however, things started to get a lot more interesting and I found myself sucked into the mystery of the story.

Towards the end I was pretty sure I knew who the murderer was and I was proud to find out that I was right.

At the very end there was one part that I was hoping would happen didn't but you can't have everything.

Overall, All Unquiet Things isn't a bad read. If you find it hard to get into at first give it a chance because it gets better in the end.

You Know You Love Me by Cecily Von Ziegesar

Title: You Know You Love Me





Author: Cecily Von Ziegesar





Published: Little, Brown Young Readers, 2002





Pages: 240





Series: Book 2, Gossip Girl





Snippet: "I know hate is a strong word and everything, but it's okay: we're teenagers."





Summary: In You Know You Love Me, the sequel to Gossip Girl, it's brunette vixen Blair Waldorf's seventeenth birthday, and she knows exactly what she wants--Nate, her studly troubles boyfriend of three years. But Blair's been too busy filling out Ivy League college applications to notice that Nate has found himself another playmate.





Review: I thought the first Gossip Girl book was alright, but I actually liked You Know You Love Me a little bit better.





I think I liked it more because things were turned completely over and so many unexpected things happened. I never predicted any of it.  I'm interested in how the next book pans out to be honest.





I think the college interviews were interesting and I now like Nate, Jennifer and Aaron.  They're the most interesting characters I think.





I don't really have much else to say except I do have some suspicions about little bits and pieces which I won't divulge here but I'll have to wait and see.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Title: Thirteen Reasons Why
Author: Jay Asher
Published: New York : Razorbill, 2007
Pages: 288
Snippet: "You can't stop the future,
You can't rewind the past,
The only way to learn the secret
...is to press play."
Summary: When High School student Clay Jenkins receives abox in the mail containing thirteen casette tapes recorded byhis classmate Hannah, who committed suicide, he spends abewildering and heartbreaking night crisscrossing their town,listening to Hannah's voice recounting the events leading upto her death.
Review: This is the first re-read for me for two years now. I'm proud of my long streak of not re-reading a book. But I decided that I would like to re read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and now I am here to review it.
The first time I read Thirteen Reasons Why I thought it was a pretty good read. The second time round I thought it was alright but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first.
I remembered most of the book because it is indeed quite a memorable book. I thought that her reasons were alright but I just don't think they would lead a person to commit suicide.
I did enjoy re-reading it though.
None of the characters really stood out to me. I quite liked Clay and Skye though. I felt like while the story was told from Hannah's perspective we really didn't get to know much about her at all. Which was kind of disappointing because I would've liked to know more about her.
Overall, Thirteen Reasons Why is one of those books that you should definitely read at least once. But if you ever see it, definitely check it out.
