Hey Lady!
How are you doing today? I'm doing okay. Again I have good/bad news. Bad news is I can't study today because the site is down. But the good news is I don't have to shlep my dad around anywhere today so I can spend ALL of today on NBS. Today is "catch up" day, where I spend the whole day on book reviews and other stuff that I've been saving up in my iPod to put in here. So... have fun reading! And you never know, I could finish the nb out today. I'm kind of hoping that doesn't happen because I don't have an extra nb laying around, but it looks like I will be needing to buy another new journal for myself! Because I just organized all my latest journal entries and it looks like I'll be finishing up Volume 20 of my own journal. Whee! I just have no clue if I want another 5 subject notebook or a completely different journal. I love my 5 subject notebooks, don't get me wrong. But I've kind of stopped with the creative stuff and pretty much everything I've "written down" has been typed out and then printed out. So... maybe it's time to find a different system and maybe keep an online journal until I can make a book out of it, like the way I'm going for every other journal I have so far. I'm gonna ask you what you think and see what you say. Hopefully you can actually help, lol.
But anyway, it's almost 4:30pm and I haven't eaten anything so I'm gonna do that before nbs time.

Book reviews:
Captive, Part 2:
----------------
Well, it's almost 3am and I could either stay up and read the entire book tonight or get some much needed sleep, which I do need. So... this book is crazy. Cassie is calling herself evil because she feels guilty about being in love with Adam still, and Faye was holding everything over her head and did one nice thing for her but really blackmailed Cassie into voting for her as coven leader. Faye's first order of business was getting Cassie to get the skull out of where it was buried (Diana never told anyone where the skull was buried but had mentioned earlier that when she saw it another time it was in a different position). Fay took her group (the side not opposed to black magic) and went to the cemetary and tried to communicate with the original owner but the skull exploded and all the negative energy landed in Cassie's house. That's where I left off. But let's see... there was a Halloween dance and the group tried to do a circle to see if anyone would speak to them and answer questions but the energy was only interested in speaking to Cassie. She keeps letting Faye manipulate her and it's driving me up a wall. I truly believe that sometimes you can't really explain how you feel about someone, that connection is just there and you feel it when you're with them and it hurts to be apart from them. I have no doubt that Adam loves Diana. But he feels that connection with Cassie in a different but still intense way. You can only deny yourself for so long before you start to go crazy which I think is happening here. Cassie hasn't realized all of her powers yet but I do know one thing... If she had just come clean to Diana before anything else happened, she would have understood a lot better. She will probably understand a lot more once the truth comes out but I hope that Cassie makes up for it at least when it does happen. I'm glad one of my predictions didn't come true and Diana really is a beautiful person and not ambitious at all like Fay. Let's see what else... I think that's it. I'm really tired but my adrenaline is still going, that's how good this book is. I know I'm going to finish it tomorrow. I can't wait!!
So... The dark power was this guy named Black John. He lived in the house next door to Cassie. He possessed her mom and tried to get the book of shadows from her gramma but the old lady wasn't having it. So the gramma told the story of how everyone was born... Black John was going to form his own coven filled with dark magic and he paired people with each other that may or may not have been for each other so the powers from the children would become stronger. So everyone besides Cassie were all born within a month of each other and the strongest parents all tried to challenge John but failed so that's why a lot of their parents and relatives are gone. Some of the group embraces their goodliness but others, like Faye, are too much like John. And apparently now he's back but in a different form so no one can recognize him. Oh, and Faye is about to tell Diana all about Cassie and Adam. I'm kind of pissed that she didn't just come out with it herself already, but oh well, what are you gonna do?? Onto the conclusion!
The Power
---------
Omg this book was so good!! In the beginning, Faye had told "her side" of how Cassie and Adam were fooling around on Diana but of course nobody believed her. So then Adam told his side, which was the whole truth, and Diana understood. I think she herself is a crone. That is someone who seems like they're an old soul, because they are. So... Faye was pissed that everyone was being honest and all loving on each other. The evil spirit that was what they were trying to kill came in the form of the new principal, and even though Faye was the new coven leader, she ditched everyone to go hang out with him. And he wanted to make school as difficult as possible for the Club so he instated all of these rules that were impossible to follow. I was very happy in this one because Cassie seemed so much better since the truth was out. She genuinely wanted Adam and Diana to be happy together. During a ceremony, Diana gave Cassie a present and told her to bury it without opening it until she said it was okay to so that's what Cassie did. Faye was acting like she was in love with the evil guy and even told Cassie he was her father. Cassie had no choice but to believe her because it was in the way her mom had ran away and the terrified look on her face. So... Black John was going to try and kill them on the lunar eclipse so they gathered together and of course Faye was nowhere to be found. So Cassie tried reinstating Diana as leader but she herself got nominated and everyone agreed that she should be the leader. So she went to face Back John all by herself and wouldn't give into him. All the members of the coven, including Faye, helped defeat him. And in the end Diana told Cassie to dig up the present and inside was the rock that Adam had given to her in the beginning of the story. They got to be together in the end because they were true soulmates and Diana wasn't going to get in the way of that.
All in all, I loved this series and I wish it didn't have to end! Maybe it just seems like there should be more because there are 2 separate books in one book, but I still want there to be more. The one thing I loved was that Cassie reminded me a lot of myself, writing poetry and hearing voices that aren't mine and all of that. I wasn't so fond of her in the beginning but I liked that she stayed as true as she could to Diana even when she wanted Adam. In the end, though, she learned to view him as a friend only but he could still sense when she was in trouble because he was connected to HER as well.
The Divide
----------
Yes they did make another book! I'm on chapter 5 already but it's still setting up. More later!
So, I had to take a break from reading, but I'm seriously digging this book so far. There is a new principal, who has a son named Max, who Faye is determined to get her grubby little paws on but only seems to have eyes for Diana. And a new girl in town named Scarlett who Diana is being really mean to but Cassie likes. They're not supposed to get close to Outsiders because a witch hunter just killed Melanie's great aunt...

Okay. I'm done for now. I want to wait as long as I can before getting a new nb because I don't have the money yet to get everything I need for the new nb and I don't want to have to wait. Especially if I'm in the middle of something. So... I'm gonna stop here for now.
