Okay so I love Rincewind. He is like the best wizzard I have ever read about. Yeah you're right, there ain't actually that many wizzards floating around are there. But, there are a lot of wizards and he is better than all of them. This book is amazing. Rincewind lives through every single situation put to him. The tourist Twoflower and his luggage (with thousands of tiny legs) (soon to be Rincewind's luggage) are the best companions you could ever imagine.

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
When I was fourteen I found out about this. It was in 2005. I found this film in my neighbours' house. Then began my secret love of vampires. Well I say secret, but me and my friend from school used to try to write vampire horrors' only to have them turn out really rubbish. The one time my english teacher snached our little book of stories and read them to the whole class *cringe* I can still hear the laughter now. Imagine living forever. The only down is I'm actually squeamish ha ha ha. They are by far my favourite creature to ever roam the horror genre. This is the book and film that made them so. I mean there is an endless possibility to what an author can write about them. Anne Rice is BRILLIANT! Like come on a vampire going to a journalist? HA HA AMAZING! Imagine the guts that boy has to interview a predator.

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Nine Years Earlier........ It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die.
Maggie is a killer for these lines to start off books. Tell me that have not got your interest, go on, I dare you!
Sean is on the beach with his father, today is race day. The beach is never safe, today it is dangerous. This is where you learn of the capiall uisce. The water horses. Deadly (meat eaters, including their riders). The men of the village race them, on race day. Sean takes to them naturally. Not that he will ride. His father rides a red stallion. Then dies by the teeth of a grey. Sean watches from the cliff.
I don't think often of my father's strung out body through the reddening surf. Instead I remember him as he was before the race: afraid. I won't make the same mistake.

Abandon by Meg Cabot
Okay, so I read this in one night (due to easy reading, mainly) Pierce Oliviera knows what it's like to die (oh yes she do) .....Now Death wants her back (dun, dun, dunnnn.) Okay there is a good plot (it even includes greek myths.) This starts with... Anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Anything at all. One. Two. Three. Blink.
Then it describes persephone being took by hades and the narrator (Pierce) telling you it's just a myth. What happened to her, is not. So on, so on.
She then add... So take my advice: Whatever you do - Don't blink.
This page drew me in slightly, I wanted to know what happens to her when she blinks.

True Fire by Gary Meehan
This starts off with a girl sixteen years old, pregnant. Sneaking out of her house where she lives with her grandfather and twin sister Gwyneth. Parents long dead. Her name is Megan and her plan is to meet the father of her baby Wade, who ran off when she told him she was with child. (JERK.) She met Wade because her sister was with hid brother (Holt) and coerced her into being with him. While she's with him near the corn fields basically arguing they hear loud cries (must be fighting at a tavern) Alas no It is the whole village screaming. Wade makes her hide and goes to see what's happening (although I'm pretty certain he hide her on purpose because he knew something and was scared for her) A man in black armour cuts his head clean off with an axe. *ARGH WTF*
