So the book reviews failed.
CLEARLY.
I swear, I got through about half of the book reviews. Most of them were bad reviews, in which I majorly dissed all the poorly-written books I'd read that summer. Since I'm sure you guys don't want to read four bad book reviews, with much negativity, I will refrain from posting them (unless, you know, some kind soul out there really wants to read them).
Where does that leave me? I would be reading/reviewing the newest in young adult literature, had I not been attending something called high school. I have been forced to read dull classics and Greek plays in my English class. I read freaking ANNA KARENINA. And it's 800 pages! There's also those aforementioned Greek plays I had to suffer through--all eight of them. After a while, one gets tired of reading about Oedipus' dreadful incest sob story, in which EVERYONE DIES.
This new semester isn't much better, I'll give you that. We have to read Romeo and Juliet five times (yes, you read that right) and I am now currently slogging through A Tale of Two Cities. Hey, Dickens is totally not the worst of the old English writers, I'll give you that. It's just that I'd so like to be reading something else. Something more exciting.
In conclusion, maybe I'll get to reading/reviewing this coming summer. Although I have been drowning in much classic material lately, I DID get time to read Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Prince and the fabulous The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
What about you guys? What have you been reading lately? Hopefully not a bunch of old classics....

Hello (After An Eternity)
Hi! No, I'm not dead (if anyone besides myself has noticed my absence). School just go really, really busy for me around springtime. When summer came, my brain went, "WHOOOOOO! IT'S SUMMER AND I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!!!!"
Well. Now that THAT has passed, I'm kind of bored, and I've decided to give up my procrastinating ways for now, seeing as I only have three weeks of summer left. Then I reckon school will heat up, and I won't have any time for this except on the weekends, which may already be filled up.
So, hopefully this will be a fresh start for me. I always imagined that I'd be a book reviewer on my blog, just like my awesome friend Maddz (check her out at Slightly Bookish). In the next few days, I hope to get some book review posts up, since I have been doing a LOT of reading this summer.
Talk to you soon!

The Clique: A Tale of Two Pretties Book Review
Hello again to those of you who stop by to check out my blog! It may appear that I have dropped off the face of the earth (at least that's how I see it, not sure if any of you do) but I'm back to do my FIRST EVER book review!
And what would be better to review than ...
... the final book in The Clique series, A Tale of Two Pretties!
Back of book:
All good things must come to an end.
Massie Block: Has always had the best of everything. An ahhh-some mansion. An ah-mazing Clique. An ah-dorable pug. And the best wardrobe that money can buy. But now she has a deep, dark secret that's worth more Gossip Points than an A-list celebrity's secret plastic surgery: Her dad lost his job and the Blocks are broke. Will Massie still be on top without her Platinum AmEx, or will her faux gold make her a faux pas?
Alicia Rivera: After her many failed attempts at being an alpha, she's happy being second in command. But when a psychic tells her breaking the beta barrier is in her near future, Alicia needs to change her fate--stat.
Dylan Marvil: The Kardashians and their big butts need to move over--the Marvilous Marvils are taking reality TV by storm. Dylan and her family are starring in their own show, but only if Dylan can keep her big mouth shut.
Kristen Gregory: Can play soccer with the best of them, and now it's official: The most elite traveling team in the Northeast wants her as a memember. But that means no more sleepovers or GLU spa days. Will Kristen choose the Soccer Sisters over the Pretty Committee?
Claire Lyons: After living in Massie's backyard for the past year and a half, Claire should be ecstatic with her parents' Christmas gift: a brand-new house! But then Massie delivers news that may mean the end of the Pretty Committee ... forever.
The Clique ... the only thing harder than getting in is saying goodbye.
Synopsis (according to Barnes & Noble's website):
Massie Block has long led the Pretty Committee—through boy drama, clique mutinies, and jealous wannabe attacks—while always in ah-dorable outfits. Over the past thirteen novels, avid fans of Massie, Alicia, Dylan, Kristin, and Claire, have made The Clique one of the premier bestselling series in the world. After the myriad of juicy escapades, the Clique is finally ready for their curtain call.
Basic Facts
Release Date: February 2011
Age Range: 12 and up (aka Young Adult, or YA)
Author: Lisi Harrison
Book Series Number: #14
I first discovered The Clique nearly three summers ago now, when Bratfest at Tiffany's was the newest book out, and The Clique Summer Collection was just coming out. I had picked up book #4 in the series, Invasion of the Boy Snatchers, and immediately became addicted. From sassy, classy Massie and her black pug, Bean, to honest and realistic Claire, to sports-savvy Kristen, to dancing-obsessed Alicia and her sly ways, to fun, loud, Dylan, the book flew by comfortably, making me hunger for more when I'd read the very last page. Lisi wrote the book beautifully, with appropiate goofiness and girly references to fashion when needed. She had captured the kind of lifestyle I had always secretly wanted--full of good clothes, comebacks, and plenty of friends.
I was ecstatic when I discovered that there was eight other books in the series (at the time). I bought them and devoured them within days, becoming more obsessed with each book. Some people shared my obsession, others scoffed, calling the books "absolute trash." But I didn't care--I was hooked, and nobody could do anything about that now.
The following year was a happy time, waiting for the next Clique book to come out. I read both P.S. I Loathe You and Boys R Us. Then I waited some more and wondered if The Clique would ever end, and hoping it wouldn't.
But in January 2010, Lisi Harrison delivered the news to all of her fans in one blog post, telling us The Clique would end and that there were only three more books in the series. At the time, I was sad, but three books seemed like a lot, so I was contempt with the thought that I'd still have time to enjoy The Clique before it was over and done with.
But one year goes by impossibly fast, and I found myself face-to-face with A Tale of Two Pretties, the last Clique book, only three days ago. The end was near, and I had to accept that now.
This wouldn't be much of a review if I didn't talk about the book, so I guess that's what I do now in this book review.
A Tale of Two Pretties was a great book, and a great end to The Clique. The end was deinitely a curveball, unexpected, but what else could be expected of the last ever Clique book? Although I must say, it was a little unrealistic, but I really think the sky is the limit with Lisi Harrison's writing, to use the cliche.
The characters were just as fresh as in the first book, although I would've liked the book to be a little bit more in Claire's point of view. Also: I would've liked it if the epilogue focused on the other girls, and not just Massie.
There was no definite plotline in A Tale of Two Pretties, but it worked. From the vague plot, you could glean all you needed to about what was happening right now and what the characters were going through.
If there's one more thing in the book I could have, I'd like more of Landon. With Massie's past boyfriends, you hear a lot about them. But Landon isn't mentioned much in A Tale of Two Pretties, probably so as not to draw your attention away from the Pretty Committee.
Will this book make you cry? Maybe, because it's just so sad The Clique is over. Is it the best book in the series? I really don't think so. It was a fitting ending, and helped to complete the series, but I really would've liked it if the book was a 400-page novel. Will it have the ending you expect? Probably not. I'm not sure how I thought The Clique would end originally, before reading this, but I think I had a completely different idea than what really happened.
To end this review, I can only hope (key word: only) that Lisi will consider continuing the series in some way, so we find out what happens to a few of the characters in their different situations (you'll know what I'm talking about once you've read the book). I'm not asking for another 14 books or anything, but maybe just a small sliver of what happens, or may happen, to The Clique in the future.
And what would be better to review than ...
... the final book in The Clique series, A Tale of Two Pretties!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) Review from a Teenage Girl's Point of View
Earlier this month, I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 with a friend.
I just have to say ... the movie was NOT what I expected! I read about how people pretty much hated it. That got me worried, but in the end, I didn't really have to worry because THE MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!!!
Okay, this would not be much of a review if I didn't talk about it, so ...
Where do I start? Well, the movie pretty much follows the book. There are a few things they left out that could've been great, like Luna's bedroom and the monument in Godric's Hollow of Harry's house and the note from Lily Potter to Sirius ... you know the one I'm talking about?
Anyway, I guess if I'm going to be a critic before I start raving about the movie, I have to say that there were, of course, great parts that were forgotten. Plus, the infamous locket scene? Um, not EXACTLY the description J.K. Rowling gave us in the book. And also, I have to say this: there was this whole small romance in the first half of the movie, sort of between HARRY and HERMIONE. Seriously, after Ron left, Hermione was all sad, playing with the radio, and this song came on, and Harry started dancing with her! Plus, I think they held hands a few times, but maybe more in a "yeah-we're-just-friends" kinda way. And then all this escalated into the locket scene ... but anyway, I'm just saying that this pseudo-romance between Harry and Hermione wasn't apparent in the book.
Besides that, the movie was GREAT! Some parts were epic and dark like they should be, i.e. the murder of random people and Nagini/Bathilda Bagshot. Then there were the tear-jerker moments, like the death of Hedwig and Dobby (although more people in the theater starting sniffling when Dobby died, even though the movie people crafted this story where Hedwig "protected" Harry from the Avada Kedrava curse). I really liked the Tale of the Three Brothers part, I have to say.
Well, what much else is there to say, other than GO SEE THE MOVIE NOW! If you haven't already. And IMAX is truly amazing ... seriously. That's what I saw it in.
OKAY. That may have been sort of spoilerish? But I just had to let it all out.
Any other Potterites out there? Did you love the movie? Hate it? Let me know in the comments, if you want.

Nancy Drew Shadow at the Water's Edge Review
Hey Nancy Drew fans! Because it's been over a month since I've played and beat the game Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge, I decided to write my very first video game review for it! Here we go ...
Trailer:
Release Date: October 2010
Rating: E10+ (Everyone ages 10 and up)
Producer: HERinteractive
Game Number: #23
Description: Terror Ripples through a Japanese Inn! Traditional Japanese family ryokans (inns) are charming places, but a vengeful ghost is terrifying you and other unsuspecting guests. Is there a shadowy specter haunting this placid inn or is something far more sinister driving away business? Check in as Nancy Drew and see if you can uncover the secrets submerged in the Shadow at the Water's Edge!
Review:
First off, I have to say this game was AWESOME. The plot was well-structured and made sense, the characters were alive with emotion (unlike the characters in Trail of the Twister), and the setting made me feel like I was actually in Japan! Amazing game overall.
Story: The aforementioned plot of SAW is put together pretty well. There may be a few noticeable holes in it (like the whole "Yumi's secret" part), but everything flows together pretty nicely and quite creepily. The game focuses mainly on the hauntings that have occurred at the Ryokan Hiei--this is good material for a Nancy Drew game. There is a bit of darkness to this plot, because someone drowned in the ryokan and the characters pretty much refuse to talk to you about it. But in my opinion, this is just what makes the game more mysterious and intriguing.
Characters: I loved just about every character in this game. A few of them were pretty fun to talk to; others, I enjoyed pushing their buttons a little (once to the point where I got kicked out of the ryokan!). There was nothing too vague about any of the characters, although I would've liked to talk to Savannah Woodham, the ghost hunter, some more. There were backstories behind the characters that you learned about later in the game from the other characters. By the time I got to the end of the game, I was pretty darn upset with who the culprit turned out to be. I felt that the characters in SAW were pretty unique, and I hope maybe HERinteractive will consider recycling a few of them in the next ND games!
Setting: The setting was ... beautiful. The ryokan was gorgeous and cultural, although a little creepy (which was totally intended, I'm sure). I really liked Yumi's apartment, for some reason. And there was so much to explore in the ryokan, plus they captured the "creepy, haunted spot" really well. And yet ... the game left me thirsting for more Japan. I would have liked to see some more of the city, and more Japanese tradition in the city, maybe, and some other modern things in Japanese culture in the city. I don't know, I felt like the guys at HERinteractive could have expanded the setting of the game a whole lot more.
Music: Oh my gosh, the music is FANTASTIC!!!! It's pants-wetting scary when it needs to be, and then serene and beautiful and cultural when it should be. Plus, that upbeat techno pop music in the city? ♥♥♥ The music-making people of this game get an A+++ for their efforts to scare the snot out of us.
Scariness: And I thought the MUSIC was scary! Man, some parts of this game were just chilling. I do have to say, though, that there are only really two times you see the ghost. And if you haven't seen pictures or footage of the ghost before ... you will be scared! I know I was, but after I got over the initial shock, I kept replaying the part when the ghost popped up, again and again. The time when it pops up in the bath house is DEFINITELY the scariest encounter. But not unlike the setting of SAW, I feel that they could have expanded and made the game really scary if they tried. To be frank, I'm not sure this game should have earned the title "the scariest Nancy Drew game yet," unless you are a total scaredy-cat (which I thought I was until I discovered that I could actually get through this game without freaking out). Just my opinion.
Puzzles: Last but not least, puzzles. Most of the puzzles in the game were pretty challenging to the point that they had me looking up the answers for them. A few were simpler, and less complex. For example, I was really stuck on the bento boxes, but once things clicked in my head, I was a bento-box pro! Some puzzles were just plain irritating, like the train one, but once you got through them, it was all right. So in conclusion, SAW had some great puzzles for people who like puzzles (and honestly, I'm not one of those people!).
So all in all, Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge was an interesting game that was as creepy as its title, but yet totally awesome on so many different levels. If you are over ten years of age and can stand the sight of a ghost, then I recommend this game for you! And if you can't stand the sight of a ghost ... really guys, it's not that bad. Seriously.
And so ...
4.5 out of 5 stars! Great job on this one, HERinteractive!

Check It Out!
Hey, I changed the layout of Green-Eyed Girl! Now it looks a bit better than the original layout, a standard Blogger template of a bunch of multi-colored jelly beans.
Well ... not much else to say here. Hope my followers like the new look!

I Stand Corrected
To all my imaginary readers and my three faithful followers--I have decided to pre-order Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge after all.
I say "after all" because in my very first blog post, I said I wasn't going to play the game. But then, after playing the demo and learning about the bonus material you get for pre-ordering SAW, I knew I just had to get it. Plus, isn't it fun to just scare youself sometimes?
Wish me luck!
-Kira
P.S. I haven't written in a while, if anyone is keeping track, because I've been busy and don't have a whole lot to talk about. From now on, if I have anything Nancy-Drew-related that's interesting enough, I'll blog about it.
