SECRET VAMPIREPoppy, has pancreatic cancer, a death sentence not even she can escape. Then her lifelong friend (and secret love) James confides that he can offer her eternal life--as a vampire. With the assistance of her devoted twin brother, Phillip, they arrange her death and passage into the Night World, "a secret society of vampires, witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us." Since vampires are not allowed to love one another, even her eternal life is in jeopardy.
DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS
Fugitives from Night World, three vampire sisters leave their isolated home to live among humans in Daughters of Darkness. Their brother, Ash, is sent to bring the girls back, but he falls in love with their beautiful friend.
SPELLBINDER
Thea and Blaise are two cousins who have been expelled from five high schools because of Blaise's exploits. Unable to control her, Thea can only watch as Blaise toys with human boys and commands them to do her bidding.At their new school, things seem no different with Blaise setting her sights on Eric, a boy Thea is strangely attracted to. Amused by his refusal of Blaise, amusement soon turns to anxiety as Thea realises that her cousin is determined to make Eric desire her.Breaking the rule of never loving a human, Thea puts both her and Eric's life on the line as she tries to ward Blaise off.
The stories are really captivating,and its amazing how the author can let the cahracters weave out of their difficult situation with alternatives.once i started reading this book i really couldn't put it down,i just had to keep on reading till the story finished.its not all about love but also about the laws of Nightworld,whereby the Night people are not allowed to tell any humans abt the Nightworld.it is mysterious,but i totally love the Soulmate Principle.of all the books of L.J.Smith,i find this book the most remarkable.

New Moon [twilight series,2009]
After Bella recovers from the vampire attack that almost claimed her life, she looks to celebrate her birthday with Edward and his family. However, a minor accident during the festivities results in Bella's blood being shed, a sight that proves too intense for the Cullens, who decide to leave the town of Forks, Washington for Bella and Edward's sake. Initially heartbroken, Bella finds a form of comfort in reckless living, as well as an even-closer friendship with Jacob Black. Danger in different forms awaits. Written by IMDb Editors
adapted from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259571/plotsummary
what Leanne thinks about this movie:
twilight have been somewhat of an enjoyable movie for me somehow.I have not been a hard core fan of twilight for long, but long enough to bring me the curiosity that i need for this movie. It was seriously mere curiosity that got of me what i would really react to the next movie of a million seller.As an fan, i think it is fun to watch the re-enactment of the new moon and see it before my eyes. But after watching this movie, my first reaction was that i totally feel like sacking the director. Next time i will try not to bring too much hope into the next twilight saga movie. There is nothing wrong with the acting of Robert Pattison and Kristen Steward, but i sort of want to put all the blame on the author for portraying Bella in this way. Inverted as she is , her character will just make the movie less interesting. I have to admit though, that Taylor have done well being the guy that almost lost this role. The built-up muscles that he have now made him mature and aged a little compared to the last movie. What that really made the difference in this movie is that the portrayal of the Volturi Coven, especially Jane. She has done more than enough to make me feel that she is lethal and cannot be underestimated. The looks of the other members of this family have also convinced me that they have the qualities that a royal family should have. I look slightly less forward to the next movie, i hope that it will be more action pack and seat gluing. No matter what happens, i am still a huge fan of twilight saga.

My sister’s Keeper [movie,2009]
Conceived by means of in vitro fertilization, Anna Fitzgerald (Abigail Breslin) was brought into the world to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate (Sofia Vassilieva), who suffers from acute promyelocytic leukemia. Because of her sister's dependency on her, Anna is unable to live the life she wants; in and out of the hospital constantly, she cannot take part in extracurricular activities such as cheerleading or soccer. When Kate turns 13 she goes into renal failure. Knowing that she will have to donate one of her kidneys to her sister, Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body. Attorney Campbell Alexander (Alec Baldwin) agrees to work for Anna pro bono. The film is interlaced with flashbacks that detail the strong relationship between Kate and Anna, as well as how Kate's illness has affected her siblings' lives. Before the result of the case is known, it is revealed that Kate had asked Anna to file for medical emancipation. Believing that she would not survive the surgery, Kate wants to die. Anna wins the case, and due to her sister's wishes does not donate her kidney. Kate later dies at the hospital. The family moves on with their lives, being changed by Kate's death, but every year on Kate's birthday they go to Montana, which was her favorite place in the world.
Adapted from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1078588/synopsis
what i think about this movie:
Ever since i started reading my sister's keeper,i have been looking forward to watching this movie like forever. When i finally had the time to watch it slightly a few weeks ago, i could only say that i am very touched by the wonderful realisation of the movie.I was moved to tears several times despite knowing what was going to happen. The story itself have been touching, but the wonderful presentation of it is that what moves me so much time. Despite the change in ending and also the timeline of Kate's death, it doesn’t not really damage the movie in such a way. It’s beatifies it in such a way that it is tear-jetting. A very inspiring movie, indeed.

The Time Traveler's Wife
The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals—steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.
what Leanne have to say:
Once again, i marvelled at the creation of a magnificent idea. We have always imagined that the life of a time traveller would be fun and exciting,but this idea was turned upside down when Henry could not control the happening of time travel itself. Not only that, the previous imaginations of the ability to change the future by altering the past is also not present in the entire book. Ingrid killed herself mainly because Henry provoked her during time travel, and other scenes that contained that idea. Everything seemed predestined. Clare was such a good wife. She endured countless waits for her husband,unable to travel across time with him and trapped in the present. I really like the narration at the end of the book. Knowing that Henry will appear although he is dead, is both torturous and immensely awarding. I look forward to the wonderful recreation of the movie.

这是众人都希望的，但是有谁那么幸运呢？

My Sister’s Keeper
My Sister’s Keeper (late 2004), by Jodi Picoult, is a novel about a young girl who sues her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used when a kidney transplant is planned in order to save her older sister's life.
What Leanne wants to say:
Despite the fact that Jodi’s books have been on Earth for quite some time now, and popular too, i did not get my chance on reading them. Either was i uninterested , or too busy reading other books, I didn’t know.Finally i got my hands on her book, and that is with the interest that rose with me when “ the only way to save your daughter is to sacrifice her sister”.This is the first book that i have read written by her. I spent 3 days reading it, though i am a quick reader, i really have to admit that i was not very curious about what’s going to happen when i started reading the book. I somehow knew what was going to happen in the end. Anna’s going to give up her kidney anyway, but the circumstances that she was under really surprised me.
the unexpected twist in the end that is. A very realistic one too. i would have said that it is a good book of a happy ending but when it ended that way, not i rate it as one of the best. A truly inspiring story, Making us think in ways that we would have thought humanly impossible.
I look forward to the movie.

Kin'iro no Corda: Primo Passo Anime
Synopsis
Kahoko Hino is a student at Seiso Academy, one with an ordinary life. One day, Lili - the mischievous musical fairy who had blessed the original founder of the school - finds Kahoko running late to class.Delighted that she is able to see him, Lilli grants Kahoko a magical violin, and a place in the school's annual musical competition, which many students in the music department vie to partake in.Kahoko refuses, only to be pressed on by the fairy, who constantly nags her until she finally gives way to his pleads. She reluctantly accepts the instrument. As she practices her pieces, Kahoko is amazed that she can play any piece on the violin as long as she knows the tune and plays it with her heart.
'La Corda d'oro' literally translates to 'the rope of gold', but it is taken into consideration as 'the golden string'. Primo Passo means 'first step', while Secondo Passo means 'second step'.
what Leanne got to say:
i was quite appalled when i finished the anime and guilty to admit that i left the DVD inside my drawer for about 2 months after borrowing it from my friend. So appalled that i couldn’t believe that i could bare to leave it @ all. After some research, i was quite a little disappointed to say that it originated from a game, something that i didn’t expect from such a nice story. I have to be very honest here, I couldn’t remember all the characters names’ even after watching all the 26 episodes.What i am fit to say is that the pieces of music chosen in this anime was great for such an inspirational anime like this. The story structure as well organised and what i liked was the even focus of all the characters and not only on the protagonist,Hino. I seriously look forward to the second season and still depressed on the fact that it has only 2 episodes. Looking forward to other series as inspirational as this. AND OF COURSE MORE EPOSIDES!!!!
