Having Problems with Copy Paste, HELP?

Is anybody else having problems with pasting something on their posts? Because it's freaking bothering me. I usually do my reviews first at Shelfari, sort f the rough draft, and they paste them here for all of you to see. Lately I haven't been able to because my dear sweet Tashiba is refusing to come out of her coma, what I did to her to deserve this Ill never know, and when I try to do my posts how I do them normally on other computers, well, THEY DON'T FRICKING WORK. It's messing with my posting schedule, is messing with my life O.o

Coming up I have two reviews to post (if I can EVER find a bloody computer that does my bidding) one for Paranormalcy (5 hearts) and one for Eternal Kiss of Darkness (also 5 hearts). Ive been on a roll lately with good books, Meridian, then Eternal Kiss of Darkness (even though I absolutely knew it was going to be good -Jeaniene Frost for goodness sakes!) and then Paranormalcy- which was so good I can't believe anyone who is not going to buy this bad boy-.

Does anybody know why is this happening? Is it a sort of new add on to Blogspot? (a very annoying one...) Or is it just the computers I employ?

As soon as I find a decent computer I will paste my reviews over here, which will have to be pretty darn soon because I need to post something by tomorrow!

Until then, you can find my review for Paranormalcy at my Shelfari page -> www.shelfari.com/taschimacullen

Have a nice day

Half-human, half-angel, Meridian Sozu has a dark responsibility. Sixteen-year-old Meridian has been surrounded by death ever since she can remember. As a child, insects, mice, and salamanders would burrow into her bedclothes and die. At her elementary school, she was blamed for a classmate’s tragic accident. And on her sixteenth birthday, a car crashes in front of her family home—and Meridian’s body explodes in pain.

Before she can fully recover, Meridian is told that she’s a danger to her family and hustled off to her great-aunt’s house in Revelation, Colorado. It’s there that she learns that she is a Fenestra—the half-angel, half-human link between the living and the dead. But Meridian and her sworn protector and love, Tens, face great danger from the Aternocti, a band of dark forces who capture vulnerable souls on the brink of death and cause chaos.

WHY, oh god why... DID I WAITED SO LONG TO READ THIS?!

Someone, somewhere, should invent a radar that goes beep, beep, beep, very fast when a good book is close by! With all the other stuff that was being piling up in my list I almost lost this book, but after months of searching I found it and read it, and it was good!

Meridian is the story of a weird girl who discovers she has this connection to the supernatural. Bang, totally on my radar. She has been around death her entire life; little insects dying, cats who have babies at her feet and then die along with their kittens, and most recently? People. Things dying close to her is completely normal, until her 16 birthday comes along and her family completely flips out, sending her away to live with her great aunt and this completely alluring guy who she is pretty sure hates her. Life couldn't be worse right? Wrong, as it turns out she is a Fenestra, the window, and/or bridge, to paradise, and someone is after her. But the truth is that her worst enemy in reality, is herself.

I reeaally liked this one. I am amazed at how little press it got actually, it is an interesting enough story, and the sequel promises new territory to be covered. The main character, Meridian, is a weird and very relatable girl. Tess, the guy, is charrrming in a very dark way. Auntie is the nicest lady ever!! I would love to have her as my great aunt. And the connection between them 3 was amazing, a lot of people hope for something like that.

The story is covered with the supernatural, religious, and romantic aspects. I think they blend very well together, they balance each other and don't overpower the story. Though at times it could go slow it was a roller coaster ride. A nice Roller Coaster ride. And OH MY GOD, so gory at times!! I really enjoyed the goriness actually, it was just right and it gave it the perfect blend of reality. Amber wasn't scared to go hard core on this book thank the Creators!

I am really looking forward to Wildcat Fireflies, I am so curious as to what route Amber is going to take the story on, and how it will work out.

Hillary Duff's Book

Reading level: Young Adult
Hardcover: 336 pages
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
Publish Date: October 12, 2010

Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life. The daughter of a renowned surgeon and a prominent Washington DC politician, she has grown to be a talented photojournalist who takes refuge in a career that allows her to travel to the most exotic parts of the world. But after Clea’s father disappears while on a humanitarian mission, Clea’s photos begin to feature eerie, shadowy images of a strange and beautiful man—a man she has never seen before.

When fate brings Clea and this man together, she is stunned by the immediate and powerful connection she feels with him. As they grow closer, they are drawn deep into the mystery behind her father’s disappearance, and they discover the centuries old truth behind their intense bond. Torn by a dangerous love triangle and haunted by a powerful secret that holds their fates, together they race against time to unravel their pasts in order to save their lives—and their futures.

First thing that came to mind: Hilary Duff is sorta famous, which means she has money, which means she must have connections, if this were all true, why couldn't she get a better looking cover?! I mean, the color is pretty enough, the font is cool looking, sorta gossip girl-ish, but the image itself? Shoot me dead and call me sparky. I guess if it was looking for boring looking, well, it hit right off the park.

The cover is the first impression. It's hard, so hard to get over that first impression, specially if it's a bad one. We are already a bit (yeah, right) cynic about the writing skills, some people are even wandering if she had someone else write the book for her... Bottom line, the cover is just not helping.

THEN AGAIN, as Ive said before on some other post, I have a bit of faith that Hilary can pull it off. The summary sounds kinda interesting, maybe enough to compel me to pick up the book, and Hilary has made it into my Top 5 guilty pleasure list so I don't hate her. Yet some people are very weary as to if this book was published because of the author's name on the title, or because she is a gifted writer.

Who's rooting for Hilary along side with me? Who is not? ;)

US VS UK, Round... I don't Even Know Anymore

Hello yet again! Since my dear Tashiba recently went into a coma, I have to post from my roommate's computer, she is grrreat.

I have about a billion posts in my head, but for now I will be posting US VS UK (uuuh a good one) and TT (Teaser Tuesday).

US - UK

I like the US one. I like how we cannot see the face of the girl, I like the ribbon, and I like the cover purple. I also like the font and how dark it is. For those of you who have read it, which one represents the book better? I don't like the UK one because, I don't know, it just doesn't resonate with me as the other one does. It's like it was thrown together hoping for the best.

Now for my TT...

"Hello?"
Silence. Breathing. Murmuring.
"Hello?" I repeated.
Mom appeared at the top of the stairs. "Who is it?" Concern deepened the lines on her face, aging her.
I shrugged at her, shook my head. "Hello?"
She yanked the phone cord out of the wall, breathing fast, suddenly wild-eyed and pale.
Dad raced up the stairs, clearly just as upset. "Another one?"
Mom's fist clenched the cors and she fiercely wrenched me into her arms. What the hell?
"What's going on? I let her hold me as she caught her breath. My dad kept petting my hair. For the last five years, they hadn't touched me except for accidents or unavoidables. Now they didn't seem to want to let go.
"It's started." Dad was the first to step away.
"What's started?" I pushed away as the downstairs phone rang."

Pg.6-7

I can't believe Ive had this book for about a year and now is that I dogged it up from the bottom of my book mountain. It's great, I'm really liking it. Very nice and easy, exactly what I need right now.

The review will be coming up this weekend. By the power of all that is mighty I will finish it.

Now Im off to take a Math quiz, college is fun.

My next post will be about a book catastrophe!! You have GOT to hear this...

Mockingjay Discussion & Poll

So I think we can all pretty much agree on that this month was all about Mockingjay. The great revelation. Who will Katniss choose, Peeta, the gentle guy who would take a beating just to see you smile, or Gale, the fiery guy who will fight to the end for your salvation? Will she help the rebels take control of the Capitol? And if she does, how will she survive? Will the Hunger Games ever really end?

You get my point. So the book was here, and more than a thousand people have already read it. I'm sure most of my followers read it because I know my followers rock, so I ask you this.

What is all you wanted it to be?

Was it what you expected it to be?

Was it something completely out of this world?

Or was it something that shouldn't have been written at all?

I believe we need to discuss Mockingjay to it's extend. I want to read your guys opinion. If you have a review on Mockingjay leave the link in a comment where we can all go and reply and make sense of what just happened.

Personally, I loved the book. Somethings could have been better, but it caught me so completely off guard that I can leave those things pass.

Things that I wish I would have seen in this book:

• Peeta post demonic stage.
• Gale at the ending.
• A little good feeling from Katniss at the end.
• Haysmith at the ending, even if he is drunk out off his arse.
• More Romance!!!!!!!!

Just a few things that, for me, the book lacked and could have made better, but just as it is it was a masterpiece.

This leads me to my new poll...

I am conducting an experiment. The subjects are all of you.

I believe it's pretty self explanatory, so begin the discussion, leave your review, and vote on my poll. It will be greatly appreciated since I am currently sitting at my bed going crazy over not knowing how you guys liked the book!!

My review.

Row, Row, Row, your vote.

Giveaway!! Take it ALL!!

My latest giveaway is for a copy of The Eternal Ones by Kriste Miller, and I just thought to let you guys know that this giveaway ends in 2 days.

There will be 2 winners, so it doubles your chances to win!

ALSO, who is in dire need of a bookcase? Well who isn't really, but today your in luck because I am giving away a bookshelf to a random Bloody Bookaholic follower who enters this giveaway. It ends on September 15, and if you enter my Eternal Ones giveaway it gives you I think 1 extra entries, but that only lasts for 2 more days so hurry it up!

That is it for now, hope you all have a wonderful day.
