Just One Look

Just One Look is by Harlan Coben and it's SOOOO good! As of now, it's my favorite book that's he's ever written. I loved it!!!

My description of the book wouldn't do it justice, so I won't give one. My summary of it just won't describe enough of it.

If you haven't read this book, then you should go to the library or book store and get it.

The Shadow of Your Smile

The Shadow of Your Smile is the newest book by Mary Higgins Clark. I finished it a few weeks ago. It's one of her best yet.

Monica Farrell is a pediatrician in a hospital. Her father was adopted at birth and was always trying to find out who his birth parents were. He died before he found out. Now the Catholic church is considering beautification because of a prayer crusade to her that saved a child's life. Monica says that the child should have died because he had a terrible brain tumor. After a series of events, Monica wants to find out who her birth grandparents are......

If you haven't read this book, I recommend that you do!

What's Your Story?

My blog is called Elise's Book Reviews and Stories. So I was wondering, what's a story that you would like to share? It doesn't have to be true. If I really like a story, I will put it on my blog! I can't wait to read your stories!

Hold Tight

Hold Tight is by Harlan Coben. I finished it a couple weeks ago. It was a good book, but I think that he's written better books than this. If you like Harlan Coben, then you might want to read it if you haven't yet. 

Have a great Tuesday!

Catching Fire

Catching Fire is the second book in The Hunger Games triology. Catching Fire was awesome.

This book was suspenseful. It ended with...wait I'm not going to tell you. Sorry. You have to read it to see what I was talking about.

Mockingjay comes out in August!!!!!!

The Hunger Games

Just finished a book called The Hunger Games. Heard of it? I bet you have.

This book had a GREAT story line. It had adventure and romance. Suspense. This book made me ask SO many questions. If you haven't read it, you have to read it. Trust me, you won't regret that you read it. 

Eclipse

I saw Eclipse and even though it's a movie, I'm still going to review it because it's also a book by Stephenie Meyer.

Out of all the Twilight movies that have come out so far, Eclipse has been the best. Eclipse is also my favorite Twilight Saga book, so I was very excited to see the movie.

If you've read the book (which most of you have), then you know that Seattle is the city where many "murders" are taking place. (Notice the quotes in the word murders) The Cullens' think that someone is creating an army of newborns (new vampires). Since Jasper has experience with newborns, he trains the Cullen coven and the werewolves....

Have a fabulous Wednesday everybody!

Caught By Harlan Coben

I finished this book a few weeks ago and it was great! I couldn't put it down.

Wendy Tynes is a TV reporter and has a show called Caught in the Act. She catches pedophiles. Wendy's latest victim is Dan Mercer. Wendy investigates Dan Mercer after the show aired, and his story is more confusing than ever.

I hope you like it as much as I did!

I Am A Bad Blogger

I have been a very bad blogger lately. I was on an Alaskan cruise for a week, so I couldn't post unless I paid for Wi-Fi. Then when we got back last week, I forgot to post. I will try to post every day. (Key word- try) Have a nice Sunday!

The Cruise

I won't be able to post for a week because I'm going on an Alaskan cruise! When I get back, I will make an extra long post. Have a great Saturday!

No Winner Yet

Sorry but no one commented about how many books they have read yet, so no winner yet. :(. The first one to comment will be the winner!

Ugh

I'm late AGAIN! So sorry. We were on the road for two days. I'm now in Utah. And I will be on an Alaskan cruise for a week. Is there Internet out at sea?

Anyways, I'm late about this, but list all of the books you have completed since I first told you about it. I will tell you the winner on Thursday. I won't be late. 

Have a great Sunday!

I Was Playing Outside....

This is a story I wrote. It's weird. By the way, I wrote this on December 7, 2009......

I was playing outside when I saw something. It was tall and blue. No, it wasn't the sky. At first I thought it was Chewbaca covered in blue paint. It wasn't.
The blue thing I saw was Bigfoot in a blue tuxedo. He asked me where his date was.
"Who is your date?" I asked him
"My date is a yeti named Sarah" Bigfoot told me.
I told him that I hadn't seen Sarah. Bigfoot walked away.
If you think that was weird, then you haven't heard what happened next. It was weirder than Bigfoot asking me where Sarah was.
I saw Dracula jumping off the roof of my house. I moved so he wouldn't land on me.
"CANNONBALL!!" Dracula yelled.
Then Dracula landed in the snow fort that took me two hours to complete. "Hey!" I yelled.
Before Dracula could reply, he flew away. "See you later!" he yelled.
I didn't know what he meant. I didn't want to know. So I decided to keep playing.
A few hours later, Dracula came back with Bigfoot. Sarah wasn't with them.
"Sarah is missing!" Bigfoot screamed. He started to cry.
"Um...ok?" I said in a confused voice. I didn't know why they were here.
"Tell us where Sarah is!" said Dracula.
"She went that way" I pointed to my left. I hoped she went that way.
"Thank you so much!" Bigfoot said. He ran to where I pointed. Dracula followed.
"Bye!"I yelled.

The End.


I know that was weird, yes I do. But I wrote that a LONG time ago. Bye!

The Book Thief

I finished this book a while ago and I thought that it was AMAZING!

It takes place in Nazi Germany. The narrator is Death and I think that helps us know how many people had their lives taken away during that time. I learned a LOT about Nazi Germany and how some people had horrible lives because they were a different religion or race.

If you're looking for a good book to read, then read The Book Thief.

The Sweetness at the Bottom of Pie

I just finished this book a few days ago and i LOVED it.

It's the summer of 1950. 11 year old Flavia De Luce loves chemistry (she's better than I am!!!). One night she wakes up and finds a body in the garden. Flavia should've been scared but she wasn't. Flavia does many things to solve the crime.

I loved this book because of the suspense. I couldn't put it down. Even when I was really tired, I forced myself to read more because it's such a great book. I was loving the book more and more with every sentence that I read. You should read it!

Books, Blogs, and more

Hi my name is Elise and I am the author of Elise's Book Reviews and Stories. I write short stories and I LOVE to read. So I decided to make this blog. I just need to add a few things to this blog and it will be complete! I can't wait to review some amazing books that I have read. Some of the books that I review were read a while ago. Others I have just finished. My stories are sort of short and some of them include people that I know. I think that this will be fun for me to do. I'm very excited and I can't wait to see what people think!
