House Of Night

Hey guys I wanted to talk to you guys about one of  my favourite book series (other than Harry Potter, Vampire Diaries, Twilight, The Immortals and Doctor who. Yes they seem to be mostly vampires:/). Now I love this series of books and I have for ages, just never thought of posting a blog about it. This series is not the usual kind of vampire stories.

In the fictional world of House of Night the change from human to vampire takes four years, during which time the adolescents, known as "fledglings," must attend one of the "House of Night" boarding schools. While there, they are required to take the Vampire Sociology 101 course to learn the dangers they face. If a fledgling is not close to adult vampires, the fledgling will die; so the fledglings rarely leave the school. About one in ten fledglings die anyway, since their bodies cannot tolerate the Change. For those who survive, there's a big reward: in the words of one of the authors, "Vampires are like Superman. They’re super-gorgeous. They’re super-talented. They’re super-men." Vampires are physically stronger than most adult humans, with accelerated reflexes, enhanced dexterity, life of more than five centuries, as well as heightened senses such as night vision.

The series main character is Zoey Redbird is the main character in the series and has, what I think one of the cooler powers you can get. She has an affinity to all the elements- earth, fire, water, earth and spirit, while her 'nerd herd' has an affinity to an element each. Damian is air, Shaunee is fire, Erin is water and Stevie Rae is earth, but I don't want to give too much away in relation to the story and what happens.

The authors P.C Cast and Kristin Cast (a mother and daughter duo) have used a lot of mythology in their story. The House of Night religion is, in the words of P.C. Cast, "heavily pagan and Wiccan based, with a huge influx of Native American myth and legend". Within vampire society, the primary Goddess is a benevolent female named Nyx who appears to Zoey at the beginning of the series and tells her that Zoey will be Nyx's agent in the House of Night. Nyx is derived from the lesser known Greek Goddess, Nyx. Vampires and fledglings cast a magic circle to communicate with Nyx or to harness the power of the elements: air, fire, water, earth, and spirit. Some demons from Cherokee mythology also play an important part in later volumes, and the Raven Mockers [ and Tsi Sgili are taken from real Cherokee legends.

I Love this series it takes the basic vampire we all know and dare I say love and twist it. Not only do people know who vampires are most people are accepting of them and also I love the idea of them going to a type of finishing school to learn about vampires history and what is happening to them. They are also kick ass in trying to save the world at the same time :)

Now if you would love to read this series, which I highly recommend there is about 12 books in the series and that is not including the novellas...

So it all starts off with...

1. Marked
2. Betrayed
3. Chosen
4. Untamed
5. Hunted
6. Tempted
7. Burned
8. Awakened
9. Destined
10. Hidden
11. Revealed
12. Redeemed

And the novellas

1. Dragon's Oath
2. Lenobia's Vow
3. Neferet's Curse
4. Kalona's Fall

So that's me for now

A little something to make you laugh :)

I thought I would put a post for videos and stories that have made me laugh. I don't know if it does broadcast in the UK or not but I love watching clips of the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon. I love his videos they always make me laugh and they cheer me up when I need it.

I am currently watching the segment called kid theatre.

I think the first one I watched was kid theatre with Channing Tatum. Its so funny the children make their own stories and they are only told what the title is... and its magic mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az5qOjhsang  Enjoy!!

I also love watching EW!

I loved the one with Taylor Swift in :) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JltEXpbGM8s) I love Taylor Swift and I thought she was funny in this but I also loved the one with Zac Efron in (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_DR9-_QUx4) All I can say is that Zac makes a really hot girl, just saying. This one has the first lady in Michelle Obama in, what more can I say (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOK4aBYNh3s) and I'm throwing one in as a surprise (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_DR9-_QUx4)

That's it for now. If you find any videos that made you laugh feel free to post and we can share them.

The Vamps

So today in the post I got 2 things a dress that I am going to wear at a friends wedding and The Vamps CD with DVD. I looked at the dress and went no, it wasn't great quality so I am sending it back. It's a shame though because I waited like a month for it to come so not impressed!

But on the bright side I have The Vamps new CD it came with photo card, a mini poster, concert type pass and a DVD to the O2 concert back in may, which I did go with one of my besties. So I was just watching that and reminiscing.

So that's a quick post from me so...

So whilst on YouTube, as often am I came across this video in my recommended section. Yes it is Disney. Of course it is. I love Disney.

I clicked on this video on my link, it is a long one about 15 minutes but I love it the melody of Disney songs is really good. I brings together old classic like Hercules, Lion King and Cinderella with the new one like Tangled, Frozen and Enchanted. So if you know you love those films you will love this. She has made most of her own costumes, but I can't tell the difference to which is hand made and what is brought, tell me if you can :) She also did her own make up!

So here is the video...

I just had a look on her official website to find out a little more and it says she's an elementary school teacher in drama and music. What age is elementary school? I'm from the UK so its a little different is about pre-school age which is about 4-5. Anyways sorry about that. Elizabeth has a amazing voice. I had a look through some of her other videos and here is one I think you should check out! No its not Disney but I like it.

enjoy...

Bonjour

Hello to those who are reading this!!

firstly I am so running out of ideas of what to name my posts!

So I have been trying for a while to get into the book I brought ages ago now, but I haven't been so successful so I am going to try and read some of the other books I brought. I brought a Michael Morpurgo book along with the Zoe Sugg book, and recently I brought a fairy tales book(the Grim Brothers) and a book called the Duff(the designated ugly fat friend). Yes the duff has been made into a film so I thought I would read the book:). so I think I am going to take a dip into the Michael Morpurgo book.

anyway that's it for now

TTFN
