Hello again! One of my favorite new toys in the world is a website called Animoto. It is a web-based site that allows you to create really cool videos and one of the best things about it is that you can make 30-second videos for FREE! Just upload your images, pick some music and it’s INSTANT coolness! You should DEFINITELY try it out yourself. You can even make nifty Valentine videos for a limited time!
To learn how to use this nifty tool myself, I decided to create a video that would perhaps give you some ideas for what to read AFTER Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight or its sequels. I know that quite a few of you really enjoyed that book and there’s no reason to stop reading just because you finished that one!
SO, check out my video and let me know which ones of these look the coolest! Or if YOU have read some of these books, then share with other readers which ones they should go for FIRST!
I’m Mrs, Northcutt, and I approved this message…

I admit that after finishing the saga, I felt a little lost, but I have had City of Bones and Eighth Grade Bites on my reading list for a while now, so I can’t wait to get started!

the video was great! i’ve read several of the books in the video such as “Poison” and “Eight Grade Bites”.
another book thats not a vampire book but would be good is “A great and Terrible Beauty”. This book is about a girl named Gemma Doyle who discovers her mother was a part of a group of women who could enter another place full of magic. What Gemma comes to relize is that the group of women called The Order want the power that Gemma now has and another group of men called the Rakshana is afraid of the power she holds. The Rakshana send a boy who is to stop her from going into the relms with her friends and when that doesn’t work he is supposed to kill her. There’s only one problem with their plan, Gemma and the boy, Kartik, are in love.

This book is not in the video but I highly recommend Elephant Run by Roland Smith. This book is about a boy that lives in London but his house gets bombed in WWII so he goes to Burma to visit his father who owns a plantation full of timber elephants, which knocks down trees for logging. But a man saw a Japanese patrol pass by and realize they are in trouble. So what will they do? Read the book to find out.

Once i got done with the Twilight saga i started reading a new series. It is called The Princess Diaries. it is about Mia Thermopolis, a five foot nine freshmen at Albert Einstine High school. Mia lived a somewhat ordinary life. That is until she found out her dad (her parents never got married) Philepe Renaldi was the prince of a little European country called Genovia. Philepe had to have surgery and could no longer have any kids. so that made Mia Thermopolis… Mionette Thermopolise Renaldi PRINCESS OF GINOVIA! this series is based on her dealing with her new life wich might include MOVING TO GINOVIA and leaving all of her friends back home! you might recognize this story from the disney movies but it is so much better!!! the first book is the princess diaries, the seccond is the princess in the spotlight, and the third is the one i am curriently reading, the princess in love. there are many more books in the series but i havnt gotten that far yet!

I dont know where the correct catogory for this book is but…
I recently have been reading novels written by James Grippando (look in the adult fiction section- it’s a murder mystery series, I started with ‘When Darkness Falls”).
The main Character is Jack Swyteck, a hotshot criminal defence lawyer, and his best friend Theo (a former client.) Theo was on the death row until Jack came along and stalled the case long enogh until DNA evidence proved him not guilty.
