I'll put up the synopsis of 1st and 3rd today.
And not to mess it up, I'll put the synopsis of
2nd sequel together in this post.
And there's this Marley & Me book.
It's quite popular also.
I bought it and now I'm reading it :]
A synopsis of it will also be posted up today.

#1 Vampire Academy
by Richelle Mead

Synopsis:
Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess:
a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to
the earth's magic. She must be protected at all
times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most
dangerous vampires--the ones who never die.

The powerful blend of human and vampire blood
that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best
friend, makes her a Dhampir; she is dedicated to a
dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi,
who are hell-bent on making her one of them.

After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa
are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's
Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana.
Rose will continue her Dhampir education. Lissa
will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi
social scene. And both girls will resume breaking
Academy hearts.

Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St.
Vladimir's--inside the Academy's iron gates, their
world is even fraught with danger. Here, the
cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable
rituals and their secretive nature and love of the
night creates an enigmatic world full of social
complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate through
this dangerous world, confront the temptation of
forbidden romance, and never once let their guard
down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them
forever...

#2 A Vampire Academy Novel
FROSTBITE
by Richelle Mead

Synopsis:
When Love And Jealousy Collide On The Slopes.
Winter Break Turns Deadly...

Rose Hathaway's got serious guy trouble.
Her gorgeous tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else,
her friend Mason has a huge crush on her, and she
keeps getting stuck in her best friend Lissa's head while
she's with her boyfriend, Christian.

Then a massive Strigoi attack puts St. Vladmir's
on high alert, and the Academy crawls with Guardians-
including the legendary Janine Hathaway... Rose's
formidable, long-absent mother. The Strigoi are closing
in, and the Academy's not taking any risks... This year,
St. Vlad's holiday ski trip is mandatory.

But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho
resort only provide the illusion of safety. When three
students run away to strike back against the deadly
Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue
them. Only this time, Rose-and her heart- are in more
danger than she ever could have imagined!

Praise for Vampire Academy:
Mead... weave[s] a unique and mesmerizing mystery
with a whodunit ending that even the most skilled
detective will not predict... this little gem is sure to
be a hit.

#3 Shadow Kiss
by Richelle Mead

Synopsis:
It's springtime at St. Vladimir's Academy, and
Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation.
Since making her first Strigoi kills, Rose hasn't
been feeling quite right. She's having dark
thoughts, behaving erratically, and worst of all...
might be seeing ghosts. As Rose questions her
sanity, new complications arise. Lissa has begun
experimenting with her magic once more, their
enemy Victor Dashkov might be set free, and
Rose's forbidden relationship with Dimitri is
starting to heat up again. But when a deadly
threat no one saw coming changes their entire
world, Rose must put her own life on the line--
and choose between the two people she loves most.

Marley & Me
by john grogan

Synopsis:
John and Jenny were young and deeply in love,
with a perfect little house and not a care in the
world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly
yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be
the same.

Marley quickly grew into an uncontrollable
ninety-seven pound steamroller of a Labrador
retriever. Expelled from obedience school, even
the tranquillisers prescribed by the vet couldn't
stop him.

Yet through the chaos and the hilarity he won
hearts and remained a steadfast model of
devotion to his family, even when they were
at their wits' end. Unconditional love, they would
learn, comes in many forms.

Praise for Marley & me:
The reason Marley & Me has proved to be a
bestseller is that it is not just a funny dog story...
it's also an honest and raw account of a young
couple's desire to have children, their fears they
won't be able to do the right thing by the family
they created. It's a universal story of family life,
and a publishing sensation.
by Catherine O'Brien, The Times

# 13 To Citriodora
by William Shakespeare (all credits go to the author)

I turn and see you passing in the street
When you are not. I take another way,
Lest missing you the fragrance of the day
Exhale, and I know not that it is sweet.
And marking you I follow, and when we meet
Love laughs to see how sudden I am gay;
Sweetens the air with fragrance like a spray
If sweet verbena, and bids my heart to beat.

Love laughs; and girls that take you by the hand,
Know that a sweet thing has befallen them;
And women give their hearts into your heart.
There is, I think, no man in all the land
But would be glad to touch your garment's hem
And I, I love you with a love apart.

#14 Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?
by William Shakespeare (all credits go to the author)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

#15 I Want to Die While You Love Me
by Georgia Douglas Johnson (all credits go to the author)

I want to die while you love me,
While yet you hold me fair,
While laughter lies upon my lips
And lights are in my hair.

I want to die while you love me
And bear to that still bed
Yours kisses turbulent, unspent
To warm me when I'm dead.

I want to die while you love me
Oh, who would care to live
Till love has nothing more to ask
And nothing more to give?

I want to die while you love me
And never, never see
The glory of this perfect day
Grow dim or cease to be!
