Youtube has become the biggest video site in the world. You can look up anything on Youtube! Including Book Reviews! I have been following these book reviewers for a year now and love I them!!!!!! Not only do they do good book reviews, they also do book hauls. Book hauls are books they order or get as a gift and unbox them. Sometimes they will forget what books they get in the mail. Also they will do giveaways from time to time! So check the Youtubers out!

Book Quote of the Day #2!
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Cicero
Comic books do not count! They don't really have a story line, its more of illustrations .
I go to the library twice a week and everyday for the summer. I have to be surrounded with books or else i'll go crazy. If you don't even like looking at books you can not talk to me! Being surrounded by books is like living in another world! Without books most of our information wouldn't be known!
I got my love of books when my mom read to me while I was in her tummy. Then growing up my mom or my grandma would read to me. I wasn't really that interested in books until I wanted to prove that I was smart like everyone else. I collected books but I didn't really know how to read them. For some reason I just needed the books to be around me.

Book Quote of the Day!
"Odd thing about people who had many books was how they always wanted more"
-Patricia A. McKillip, The Bell at Sealey Head
If you are a true bookworm, then you will understand this quote. Books are everything to me. It gets me out of reality and into a fantasy to get away from the rest of the world. If I'm having a bad day I'll read the Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. When it's a good day I'll finish up on the Night World #3 series. Books aren't just about getting away from reality, its also emotional. As I grow up I don't really have that much time to read, because of school and activities outside of school. So instead of reading I collect books. In my collection I still need to read 135 books. This year my English class was doing Unplug for 24 hours. You could not use any electric devices for 24 hours over the weekend. I didn't have anything to do so I read all of the Harry Potter series. After that I thought I wouldn't want to read anymore. The next day I went to the book store.

Where to Get Free E-Books Online! (for Kindle Users)
Me and my Kindle are best friends when I'm to lazy to hold a huge chapter book. I first got my Kindle for Christmas three years ago. I love it! However, When trying to find a cheap book to read was not so easy. I will only pay for a book up to five dollars. (Yes I'm that cheap)
Here are a couple of websites to go on for cheap e-books:
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-eBooks/b?ie=UTF8&node=154606011
Amazon is the home of the Kindle! Amazon is in between expensive and cheap. Yet you have to search for the right book. I only get the free paranormal romance books off of Amazon, but you can also get other book for free. Just type in the word "free" and the genre you are looking for.

BookBub is my personal favorite website to get free or 99 cent books. However, you will not find a new book that just came out for free. Most of the e-books are for everyone. They have children, young adult and adult books. BookBub saves you a lot more money for your wallet, but its hard to find a book you want. Everyday they will have new books.

Not Worth Reading!
Over the years I couldn't and will not finish this book!
1.Twilight:
My friends and family have read the book before me. When I saw the first movie I thought it was okay. So I decided to read the book. I could not get passed the first page. I'm sorry to all the twilihard fans out there, but the book wasn't for me. Maybe it was the movie that spoiled it for me. Don't get me wrong I love a good paranormal romace. Yet a word of advice: don't watch a movie before reading the book!

Welcome!
Bookworm: A person devoted to reading. My name is Alexis
Hall and I go to Diamond Oaks Vocational
School for Digital Arts and Design. Bookworm Delight YA (young adult) is about information for new or
old young adult books. This will be about new books that will or have been
released and book reviews. However my favorite topic will be "not worth reading". Which means book I could not finnish or started reading. I will also share links to where
you can get the books for cheap. For 6 years now (I'm 18) I have been collecting
young adult books. As a book lover my favorite genres are paranormal, romantic,
horror, and some non-fiction. My
favorite book I have is Edgar Allan Poe’s Collection of stories and poems. When
I was little I didn’t really like to read as much. Turns out I didn’t know how
to read and speak. So my mom signed me up for a program to help me. After
learning I started to like books. In
first grade my first chapter book was “Welcome to Dead House” by R.L. Stine. However
it the cover was destroyed. I am not a fan of books that have been neglected
over the years, unless it’s a really old book!
