RATING SYSTEM FOR BOOKS: Iv'e never really been one for rating books as though I have to do it on my other sites that I write for , It wasn't something that I really felt nessecary. However now with the influx of books I get through and some have proven to be greater than others. I have decided to create a Rating system for The Phantom Paragrapher. All Books will be rated from 3 -5 "P"s.      Don't Waste your Dollars - Borrow From the Library   If it sparks your interest , go out and buy it.    Don't just sit there, rush out and buy :)

           It's time to get in the zone with Teens as I present to you the sequel to Numbers by Rachel Ward. Review: Numbers 2 : The Chaos - Book #2 in the Numbers Series - Rachel Ward- June 2010 Remember the first book released Numbers , that featured a sixteen-year old named Jem and her gift of being able to see the dates that people can die , a bit like that movie with Nicholas Cage -"Knowing" where he could see when events were going to happen. Book Two starts 16years later in the year 2026 , Jem is dead and so is her friend Terry aka Spider -the father of her son Adam.  Adam is living with his Nan and has inherited his mother's gift of seeing numbers - a bit like on Ghost Whisperer when Melinda's son Aiden inherited her gift of seeing ghosts. Chaos is upon them as after a flood his Nana and Adam move back to London where Adam keeps seeing the numbers 1/1/2027 on everyone's heads. A year away, all Adam can do is sit there...

Happy Thanksgiving day to all those who celebrate it around the world, I've noticed growing up that NZ isn't really big on holidays , so im envious of those who get to celebrate holidays by going all out like Halloween, Thanksgiving , Christmas etc. Today's novel is a tale of werewolves - though in this book , they are called Guardians. Review: Nightshade -Andrea Cremer - November 2010- (NZ Release) First off, I just want to say how much I loved this cover, I've always been a judge by the cover type of girl and the cover of nightshade with all the purples are amazing, think the picture above but instead of the purpely-blue , think of it as a deep dark purple and then you have the cover I had. In Nightshade , we are presented with two wolves - an Alpha male called Ren and an Alpha female called Calla Lily. They are the next generation of wolves called Guardians , their job is to protect the keepers and their people from Searchers. They are to be mated and to joi...
