 * Entry One October 1, 2011:** I am currently reading //Evernight// by Claudia Gray . I haven't read much, about 25 pages, but what I have read is has gotten me more interested in the book. I found this book at the High School library and chose it because the cover was appealing to me and it was student recommended, those books are always good.

The book starts of with a prologue which gave me a little glimpse into what the book is about. In the book we meet a teenage girl named Bianca. She and her family have recently moved and Bianca is attending Evernight academy. She's a typical teenager who doesn't want to go to a new school where she doesn't know anybody, so she decides to run away. She made it to the forest some ways away from the academy. Here she meets Lucas, also a new student at Evernight. Lucas comforts her and tells her she will get in trouble anyways. She realizes he is right and turns toward the school, but Lucas is gone. That is all that I have read so far and I can't wait to read more. When I read the prologue it made me want to read more, here is a couple sentences that really got me interested: ===** "There was nowhere to go, no place to run. We couldn't remain here, not with the blaze around us roaring, already so hot it stung my skin. Soon the ceiling would collapse and crush us all. Outside, the vampires waited." **===

 * Entry two October 8, 2011:** I found this video on youtube and thought it would be great because i haven't been able to read this week.


 * Entry three October 15, 2011: I haven't been able to read at all this week. Sorry for the inconvenience! See ya next week! **


 * Entry four October 22, 2011: Hello everyone! So far this book is amazing! My favorite line is when Lucas and Bianca are in the gazebo together and Bianca says "Lucas, all I need is you." This line is one of my favorites because it shows the romance that these two have. Bianca truly cares about Lucas and it shows in this book. It's almost as if she can't live without him. Lucas shows that he cares about Bianca when he says, "you need somebody to look out for you. Make sure everything's okay. ;I want to be that guy." This is also one of my favorites because again it shows the romance. **


 * Entry five October 29, 2011: So far in the book Bianca is making new friends. She is getting to know her roommate better and meeting new people. She met a guy named Balthazar and Vic. However she can't stop thinking about Lucas. Lucas finally apologized for being such a jerk to Bianca when he wouldn't talk to her. They patched things up and started talking again. Things get steamy between Bianca and Lucas at the gazebo. A little too steamy....nothing too bad though. Lets just say you figure out who Bianca really is... **

In a way I think this book has a connection to the Twilight saga. They both express a deep love and connection of two completely different people.
 * Entry Six November 5, 2011: ** This week I haven't been able to read much, only 1 chapter. The book reveals who Bianca truly is. There are others like her, in fact, almost all of Evernight Academy. Bianca is madly in love with Lucas and always wants to be by his side. In this chapter Bianca really learns about herself. She has to adapt to things she never had to before.


 * Entry Seven November 12, 2011:** I am currently on page 196. Bianca's life with Lucas becomes more challenging. She has to keep a big secret from him which is killing her inside. She can never go to far with him or she will hurt more than likely hurt him again. "Sometimes I think I'm going crazy if I don't touch him, so how much worse must it be for Lucas?"(171)-Bianca. Bianca is still coming to grips with her new found self. She begins to recognize changes that she doesn't like very much. With all of these changes, Bianca begins to act stranger, more aggressive. She snuck out and went onto the roof. There she was confronted by a boy named Erich. The confrontation was less than cordial. Her new self got the best of her and came out. Luckily no one was hurt, but Lucas was nearby. He saw everything. He new who Bianca really was. "He looked at me like I was a stranger-no, like a monster."(195). I am loving this book more and more! In every chapter you learn something new. I can't wait to read what happens next and definitely cannot wait to see what happens in the end.

** Entry Eight November 19, 2011: ** This week I have read 24 pages (Chapters 11-12). In chapter 11 Lucas freaks out and runs off because he finds out something about Bianca that he never thought possible. The secret of Evernight Academy was out. Finals had arrived which means Christmas break. Everyone went home for break except for Bianca's family. During this chapter Bianca feels alone inside. She lost the love she had wanted for so long. She desperately wanted to talk to Lucas but doesn't know what to say. To get her mind off of things she went outside. The snow always cheers her up. Bianca ran into Balthazar and they started walking together. My favorite quote from this chapter is when Balthazar is talking to Bianca, "enjoy life while you have it. Because it doesn't last--not for anyone."(209). Bianca realized then maybe it wasn't too late. After they got back to the school she quickly ran to the computer lab. The words she once didn't know to say came gushing out. She wrote Lucas an e-mail telling him everything that was on her mind. She wanted him to know the truth.

Christmas break has ended, everyone was coming back. Bianca feared that Lucas would never come back after what happened. To her surprise he came back, but seemed different. Finally Lucas found Bianca and started talking. It seemed things would be normal again.

** FINAL BLOG DECEMBER 4: ** Love is described as a passionate affection for another person. In the book __Evernight__ by Claudia Gray we meet two people who become so in love that they risk their lives to be with each other. One can't and won't live without the other. In the beginning of the book we meet Bianca, a normal girl trying to get grips with the idea that she is in a new school with no friends. Along the way she meets Lucas, also another person that is new to the school. They begin to talk and soon enough get involved with one another. However, strange things at Evernight Academy begin to occur. Bianca begins to experience changes she never knew about. Evernight's secret is revealed. In the end Lucas also reveals his secret, a dangerous secret. A secret of life and death. A huge battle breaks out that tests the love of Bianca and Lucas. This book is all about love and adventure. In a way this book makes you wish that love can prevail over the dark secrets. It shows passion towards two people but also shows some action/adventure. The overall plot of this book, I thought, was a little bit like the twilight saga. However, Claudia Gray does a magnificent job in introducing new themes as well as a difference in enemy's. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was a little bit like twilight and I kind of got a little bored with it, but overall it was a great book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the twilight saga and who ever likes romance and adventure. This book surely does keep you wanting to read more. Hope you enjoy this book if you choose to read it!
