Wondrous Words Wednesday (3)

Wondrous Words Wednesday is hosted by Bermudaonion’s Weblog.

Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme where we share new (to us) words that we’ve encountered in our reading.”

My word this week is from My Life Undecided by Jessica Brody.

Golden Doodle

Noun: A Goldendoodle is a mixed breed dog, a hybrid cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.

Example of Use: "Golden retriever and poodle." The crinkles around her mouth soften just a fraction as she stares at her former companion.

"Oh, a golden doodle!" I say excited that I actually know the name of the breed thanks to Brian and his little Heimlich maneuver pinecone story."*

Happy Wednesday!

Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls #1) by C.C. Hunter

Summary from Goodreads

Don’t miss this spectacular new series that will steal your heart and haunt your dreams, Welcome to Shadow Falls camp, nestled deep in the woods of a town called Fallen…

One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.” Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by
side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.

Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely
she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she? They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason. As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past.
Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart.

Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…

     Born at midnight was a diverse start to a new series filled with cute Fae, werewolves, and shapeshifters. Kylie is girl sent to a "school for troubled teens" after being found at a party with drugs. She soon discovers that Shadow Falls and its attendees aren't what she thinks and she isn't what she thinks either. Kylie was going through a tough
time in the book with her parents divorcing and her boyfriend breaking up with her because she doesn't want to sleep with him. She has resentment for her parents and issues trusting people. She refuses to believe that she is not human and it irritated me that it took her most of the book to accept this fact. All in all, though, I liked Kylie. She
was a different kind of girl. She was quiet without being shy and usually went for what she wanted. I loved Kylie's friends, Miranda and Della. They were all so different and Miranda and Della argued a lot, but they were a tight group.
     My favorite parts of BORN AT MIDNIGHT
were the cute boys. Kylie is stuck between her feelings for Derek, a half Fae that reminds her of her ex and Lucas, who she knows from her childhood. I think that I am totally on team Lucas. He is so sweet and protective and has known Kylie since they were kids. I like Derek too, but just not as much as I like Lucas.
     BORN AT MIDNIGHT was an awesome read that hooked me from the first page and the sequel comes on in October, which just happens to be my birthday month...bet you can
guess what I getting. :)

Follow Friday & Blogger Hop (08/2/11)

It's Follow Friday! This is my Follow Friday post, a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee!

This week's question:Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? Why and to what?

My Answer: One story ending I would love to change is Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I so wanted an Epilogue with Katsa's telling of their Lienid wedding while holding she and Po's first child. But alas it was not to be. I keep holding on to the hope that Kristin will release a sequel to their story.
