"Twilight (series)" by Stephenie Meyer

Author: Stephenie Meyer, Publisher: Little, Brown and Company 2005-2008, Language: English, Country: United States, Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Young-Adult Fiction

Review: Twilight is a very dramatic but exciting love story between a regular, 17 year old, girl named Bella, and a gorgeous, nearly 100 year old, vampire named Edward. Bella is forced to move into the small town of Forks, with her father Charlie. There wasn't anything fancy in the town of Forks. It rains all the time, and the sun never seems to shine, this town has nothing great, until Bella finds the Edward Cullen. Once Bella finds the Edward, she can't keep thinking about them. I really enjoyed seeing Bella and Edward going through the ups and downs of their relationship, the fact that Bella and Edward have a mutant baby together just freaks me out to no end and gives me nightmares that keep me up at night. I fully recommend reading these books, enjoy this touching story that will leave you wanting more as you read into their romantic love story. Series: 1. Twilight (2005) 2. New Moon (2006) 3. Eclipse (2007) 4. Breaking Dawn (2008)

"Wintergirls" by Laurie Halse Anderson

Author: Laurie Halse Anderson, Publisher: Viking, Pages: 278 pp (Hardback), Country: United States, Genre: Fiction

Review: Wintergirls is about an 18 year old anorexic girl named Lia dealing anorexia nervosa, she wants to be thin so thin that she disappears and her body is breaking down and dying because of it. The book begins with the death of Lia's best friend (also suffering from an eating disorder) who dies in a motel room all by herself. Lia not only deals with her anorexia, but with a broken family and cutting problems. This was definitely another amazingly heart-wrenching book written by Anderson about a painful topic that many girls are going through every day. For all of those who have read Speak, please take a look at Wintergirls! this is one of the best Young Adults books I have read.

"The Hunger Games (trilogy)" by Suzanne Collins

Author: Suzanne Collins, Publisher: Scholastic 2008-2010, Language: English, Country: United States, Genre: Adventure, Science fiction, Young adult

Review: The Hunger Games trilogy is a science fiction love story that takes place thousands of years in the future, where the United States is governed by one Capitol and divided into thirteen districts, the story is about a 16 year old girl Katniss Evergreen in a fantasy world called Panem (Latin for "bread") and who is "chosen" to fight in a to-the-death battle with other children in other districts, the winner of the Game will return with food for their district. The story is beautifully crafted and so unexpected. So many twists and turns that keeps your eyes glue to the pages. The first book was amazing it sets the story and fills us in on the history of Katniss Evergreen. The second book - has a twist in it that you dont see coming. The whole momentum of the story got slowed right down in the third book, the last couple of chapters in book 3 "Mockingjay" had me shedding tears for sure but she finally gets her happiness. I always enjoy reading a book that forces the reader to think deeper than what is simply on paper, and Suzanne Collins has mastered that with these books. The story is advertised as YA, but that doesn't mean it's suitable only for young adults.

"The Giver" by Lois Lowry

Author: Lois Lowry, Publisher: Bantam Books - 1993, Pages: 179 p. (paperback edition), Country: United States Genre: Soft science fiction, Dystopian fiction

Review: The Giver is an exceptional novel about everyday life in a community with no feelings, color, war, or pain, everything is completely organized. This book is written from the perspective of Jonas who is an 11 year-old boy and the main character of this story. He lives with his father and seems to look and act different than the other people in his community. Then all that changes for Jonas when he turns twelve and is selected to receive all the memories that the society has never known, memories that will change his life forever. I loved The Giver because the plot was very creative, the theme was magnificent, and the setting was vivid, Lois Lowry used great descriptive words to bring the book to life. It's one of the best novels to share with young people, a story that they will remember long after they have finished it.

"Harry Potter (series)" by J.K. Rowling

Author: J.K. Rowling, Published: 29 June 1997 - 21 July 2007, Publisher: Arthur A. Levine Books (US), Bloomsbury Publishing (UK), Country: United Kingdom, Media type: Print (hardcover and paperback)

Review: J.K Rowlings Harry Potter series was a brilliant work of literature and fantastic for helping younger readers build their vocabulary and learn important life lessons. For anyone who hasn't read the series and has just watched the movies, the books are a must read. For those of you who are anti Harry Potter I would like to point out some of the saving qualities of these books. First, Potter has good healthy, relationships with adults. Second, Potter has relatives and a professor who do not like him. He shows that not everyone in the world will like you but that is not a requirement to having a good life. The books encourage imagination and creativity. There are other reasons but I think that J.K. Rowling has reintroduced reading for pleasure to our young adults and that is a feat indeed. J.K. Rowlings has a fantastic imagination. Harry Potter has been translated in over 67 languages, and the last four books were the fastest selling books in history. I recommend everyone to read these books because they have something for everyone: fantasy and magic, action and adventure, monsters, romance and laughter, anyone at any age will enjoy this set. Harry Potter Series also in Best Fantasy Books of All Time Happy Reading to all.

A number of readers have emailed in about Swiss Barefoot Company's "Swiss Protection Sock," a five-toed sock made of 50% Kevlar, 32% polyester, 8% spandex, and 10% cotton that laminated with "naps" of "eco-friendly" PVC that makes it cut resistant.
It's touted as providing "absolute" or "perfect" barefoot feeling, presumedly because it's mostly just a sock. It sounds almost too good to be true.The socks come in two versions, one of which (at least) is emblazoned with a Swiss cross cast in the red knitted fabric.
Both of them are going to set you back a pretty penny (for a pair of socks, anyway) — upwards of $80 USD (59 EUR).Video, pictures, and a few thoughts after the jump! The Swiss Barefoot Protection toe socks have a pretty awesome marketing video that is worth the watch (after the jump) — just try not to get too excited listening to a voice overlay spoken by a German-accented man (I can't help but picture some Swiss scientist). It just screams "it's made in Switzerland, it has to be awesome." Am I wrong?Providing the barefoot feel of a pair of socks with cut-stopping protection from Kevlar and PVC; well, the Swiss Protection Socks sound like the best things for bare feet since, well, toe shoes. Or huaraches if toe shoes aren't your thing ... whatever is your preference in barefoot-minded/minimalist footwear inventions. I want to try a pair and see how they function. What does "absolute" barefoot feel in a pair of socks feel like? How do they hold up against wear Will a stick or twig puncture the knitted soles?
If these toe socks are as tough as they're made out and possess supreme ground feel due to their use of fabrics instead of rubber (though PVC isn't typically very malleable), then these could be the "most barefoot" you can get while still having an element of protection from the odd sharp rock or broken glass you might overlook that might otherwise sever your foot in two (I'm joking). In all seriousness, I wonder what the right compromise is between minimalist footwear and full-monty barefootedness.
Is an "absolute" barefoot experience best? What does that mean, anyway, if you're still wearing shoes? Or put another way, why are you wearing shoes if it's an absolute barefoot feel? What if you had footwear that perfectly preserved ground feel while adding an infinite amount of protection against abrasions or cuts? Would those be the ideal?These aren't easy questions to answer — shoes are basically tools that are designed to add some element that feet lack (protection being, perhaps, the most commonly cited need, but insulation, water-resistance, and sometimes cushion also seem to be on the list). Of course, most of the time, with every shoe "feature," you lose some innate power of the bare foot. Are these toe socks the future of barefoot shoes? Again, what is that ideal footwear? Or is the answer more simply: it depends. I'm a little skeptical of simple solutions to complex problems; and the human foot is pretty awesomely complex. I digress.Here are some photos of the Swiss Protection Socks from the Swiss Barefoot Company's website. Anyone have these? Based on what you're reading about these puppies, what do you think about them? H/T to James, Gizmag (and Gizmodo)
