Second Hit

This is the second book in the Gossip Girl series and it's just as good as the first. Def check it out but only if your over fifteen because of some mature content.

A Sad Novel

Born Blue
By: Han Nolan
This book was really sad. I was rather fond of it and I am thinking I better go back and read it again to refresh my memory!

A Great Series

The Clique
Lisi Harrison
This book is just plain old good. Its one of those books you read and you just don't understand why you can't put it down. I highly suggest this book to anyone over 11 but probably no one over 15 would enjoy this.

Historical Fiction

A Northern Light
By: Jennifer Donnelly
I liked this book. I don't even know why I liked it but I did. If you enjoy historical fiction you defiantly want to try this one out. Historical fiction books are fun to read because you get to see what the culture was of different places so many years ago.

Strange..But Good

Lovely Bones
By: Alice Sebold
This book is pretty interesting. The views of all the different people is a lot of fun. But I thought it sort of was dragged on a bit. I think it should have been more resolved in the end. But hey its an interesting book and I would suggest it.

A LITTLE REMINDER:
Please remember I have posted far more books then you see right away so be sure to go back to older posts. There are some real fab books back there for you to check out!

Interesting View

Secrets of My Hollywood Life
By: Jen Calontia
This book was pretty good. I thought that Katlin was a really easy character to relate to. All the characters were so drastic and amazing. You should defiantly read this book.

An Intense Novel

Speak
By: Laurie Halse Anderson
All my friends who have read this loved it. It is a really hard read because the main character is having a lot of troubles. I would only suggest this to 13 year olds or over because its harder to read.

Very Well Known

Gossip Girls Series
By: Cecily von Zieagsar
By now most of you have probably been introduced to this series. I will assume from the new t.v. series on the CW. I have only read the first five of the books and I loved them. But she does write about more mature circumstances. But I would suggest this to probably 15 years old or more!

Very Popular

Twighlight, New Moon, Eclipse
By: Stephenie Meyer
I had read these awhile back but I have been getting an awful amount of pressure to post them. To all those who wanted these posted: I appreciate your enthusiasm. For those of you who don't know the Twighlight Series is a well written series about a girl who moves to a small town on the West Coast and meets...you guessed it...vampires. I LOVED these books. Some of my friends wont read them because they are intimated by the size. Please don't be just read them. Who cares if they are long?

Just Finished

Deadline
By: Chris Crutcher
I just finished this book today and had to put in on right away. I loved it. I though it had a really strong message it was sending but I'm not sure if anyone else would pick up on it. Please read it and tell me what you think about it!

The Private Series

Sorry for not posting yesterday. It was a hectic but fun day and it kept me from posting. So I will apologize to you all by showing you the ultimate series. THE PRIVATE SERIES!!! I have only read the first three books but some of my friends have read the most recent one and love it!

Private
By: Kate Brian
This book is amazing. The main character, Reed, is so easy to relate but some choices she makes in the book most people probably wouldn't do.

Invitation Only
By: Kate Brian
The second book is just as amazing as the first book. This one is a little more mysterious than the first. The plot just gets better and better as you read along.

Untouchable
By: Kate Brian
This the third book in the series and in my opinion the best one. After reading this book I noticed that this series gets more mysterious and the plot gets better as you read farther.

An Easy Read

Eggs
By: Jerry Spinelli
This book was pretty good. It didn't really have a high point in the plot but I really enjoyed the characters. Like most of Spinelli's novels it was about a girl who people don't really like. If you liked Stargirl you may enjoy this as well.

A Sad Novel

Story of A Girl
Sara Zarr
I really enjoyed this book. Its very sad book. If you can handle mature circumstances I would highly suggested. It is not an easy read. You really have to think of what this girl must be going through, really get it in perspective.

Genre: Poetry

recommend the genre of poetry novels to anyone. Poetry novels is in an easy to read format and it's often a quick read. I haven't read many novels written in poetry. But this blog is going to take a look into two poetry novel authors; Sonya Sones and Stephanie Hemphill. I will merely put excerpts from their novels as describing them more than I already have is far to complicated.

Sonya Sones---
Sonya Sones is probably the best known teen author for poetry novels. The following books are just a few of hers.

What My Mother Doesn't Know-

"My name is Sophie.
This book is about me.
It tells the heart-stoppingly riveting story of my first love.
And also of my second.
And, okay, my third love, too.
It's not that I'm boy crazy.
It's just that even though I'm almost fifteen I've been having sort of a hard time trying to figure out the difference between love and lust.
It's like my mind and my body and my heart just don't seem to be able to agree on anything."

One of Those Hideous Books Were The Mother Dies-

"My name is Ruby.
This book is about me.
It tells the deeply hideous story of what happens when my mother dies and I'm dragged three thousand miles away from my gorgeous boyfriend, Ray, to live in L.A. with my father, who I've never even met because he's such a scumbag that he divorced my mom before I was born.
The only way I've ever even seen him is in the movies, since he's this megafamous actor who's been way too busy trying to win Oscars to even visit me once in fifteen years.
Everyone loves my father.
Everyone but me."

Stephanie Hemphill---

She may not be an uber famous author but she writes beautifully. This is the only book that I have read by her as I don't believe there are many more. I apologize but I could not locate an excerpt from this book. So you must trust me.

Loved By All

Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys
By: Kate Brian
Personally I loved this book. All the characters are so fun and easy to either love or hate. All my friends that I have suggested this book to loved it as well and recommend it to anyone and everyone! More specifically : girls.

A-List Update

Okay so basically just wanted to let all you A-list lovers (myself included) that the tenth book in the series (California Dreaming) is out in stores! I haven't read it yet... But of course I can't wait to get my hands on it!

An Irresistible Series

The Pretty Little Liar Series

By: Sara Shepard

Pretty Little Liars-
This the first book in the series. So you become familiar with the characters and plot. The whole series is a mystery, so your getting the first few hints of what happened.

Flawless-
This is the second book in the series is pretty fab. Your still finding out more details about what happened. I like this series a lot because it gives you lots of ittle secrets every time you flip the page.

Perfect-
Okay, so this is the third novel in the series. By now your in l-o-v-e with the characters. (Just like me). Personally I can't wait to read the fourth and I believe the last novel in the series, when it comes out on May 27 2008!!!!

By the Author of The Devil Wears Prada

Everyone Worth Knowing
By: Lauren Weisberger
This book was pretty good. It had an amazing ending. I would highly suggest this book to anyone over the age of 13 or anyone who feels comfortable dealing with more mature circumstances. Highly suggested.

Author of the Week: Zoey Dean

Zoey Dean is author of the infamous A-list series. She writes about all the juicy gossip of L.A.'s hottest teens. She doesn't write your average pink books. Oh no, I would say she kicks it up a notch ..or two. I just picked my top four favorite books by her.

The A-List-
This is the first book in the series so it very intriguing. She draws you in with her catty and fun loving characters. And of course her plot thats to die for.

Back in Black-
This is the fifth book in the A-list series and it is as amazing as the ones that it has followed. But of course you'd have to read them to understand all the characters choices and attitudes. The books in order are as followed: Girls on Film and Blond Ambition and Tall Cool One.

Heart of Glass-
This is the eighth book in the A-list series but definitely not the last
in this wonderful series. Though its not my favorite its probably my second favorite because of the fantastic plot. Don't forget to read Some Like It Hot and American Beauty the sixth and seventh books in the series.


Beautiful Stranger-
This is the last published book in the A-list series and an absolute must read. It's my favorite because the ending is so intriguing because of the people Anna meets. You'd only understand my passion for this book if you read the whole series.

Unforgetable

Lucas-
By: Kevin Brooks
This book has a rather mysterious plot that you will be instantly drawn. Do yourself a favor and read this. I suggest this book to any preteen or teen who enjoys mysteries.

Humrous.. andTradgic?

The Boyfriend List-
By: E. Lockhart
This book was not my favorite but still very good. The plot was humorous and tragic and something that probably would never happen to anyone in the real world. But it was still a fun and an easy read for all girls over the age of 13.

An Eye Opener

Does My Head Look Big In This?
By: Randa Abdel-Fatah
I would highly suggest this book to any girls at any age. This books show the difficulties of being a Muslim teenage girl growing up in Australia. It digs deep into her feelings and explains a lot of the Muslim culture that people do not understand.

A Heart Warning Memoir

I Will Plant You A Lilac Tree-
By: Laura Hillman
This book is the memoir of Laura Hillman who is a Schindler's List survivor. This book explores Laura's memories of the Holocaust. Its a heart warming tale. But if you do not think you can handle some of the events I do not recommend it.

My New Favorite

Two Way Street
By: Lauren Barnholdt
I just finished this book on Saturday and I loved it. Barnholdt's writing is an awful lot like Sarah Dessen. Who is easily my favorite author. Due to explicit language I would definitely only recommended this to anyone over the age of 13. It is written in the point of view of Jordan (a boy) and Courtney so it makes for a very fun and interesting book. YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!

Fun Read

Caribbean Cruising-
By: Rachel Hawthorne
I have not read this book in awhile. I would as I own it, but a four legged creature called my dog got a hold of it. All I can remember is that I was rather fond of it. But I would only recommend it to girls over the age of 13.

A Beautiful Novel of Family

So B. It-
By: Sarah Weeks
I loved this book. Heidi is a beautiful character who has an interesting story to tell. You should listen and read this book.
"You couldn't really tell about Mama's brain just from looking at her, but it was obvious as soon as she spoke. She had a high voice, like a little girl's, and she only knew twenty-three words. I know this for a fact, because we kept a list of the things Mama said tacked to the inside of the kitchen cabinet. Most of the words were common ones, like good and more and hot, but there was one word only my mother said, soof."-So B. It

Romantic Comedy

Dairy Queen-
By: Catherine Gilbert Murdock
This book is pretty much the ultimate romantic comedy. I would highly suggest this book to any teens or preteens that enjoy the genre of romantic comedy.

"Because standing in front of his brand-new Cherokee in his brand-new
work boots, looking about as much a part of our junky old farmyard as a
UFO, was Brian Nelson. "- Dairy Queen

Louise Rennison; A Flop

Personally I found that the series Confessions of Georgia Nicholson was annoying. I was displeased with the fact that there was no plot and that if you didn't understand one of her made up words or word from her home. England, you were to look in the glossary. This got fairly tricky. Unfortunately I had to read three of her books for a school project, so I could not drop them. I would steer clear of these books.

An Oldie but a Goodie

The Outsiders-
By: S.E. Hinton
If you like action books I would definitely recommend this one. The characters are as intriguing as the actions filled plot itself. I would recommend this to any preteen or teen. It gets sort of violent so if you don't think you can handle it don't bother reading it.

One Book, Ten Authors

Click
By: David Almond, Edin Colfer, Roddy Doyle, Deborah Ellis, Nick Hornby, Margo Lanagan, Gregory Maquire, Ruth Ozeki, Linda Sue Park, Tim Wynne-Jones
Now I have read a lot of books in my years but this is my ultimate favorite book. It is hard to describe so you'll have to just trust me and read away.

Beautifully Written

Waves-
By: Sharon Dogar
This is the heart wrenching story of Hal and his family. It is written both in Hal's view of the present and his view of the last summer they spent at their summer home and his comotose sister Charley's view of the present and last summer. It's a hard book to put down and the characters are so believable it's sad.

A Learing Experince For All

The Boy Who Ate Stars-
By: Kochka
Translated by: Sarah Adams
This book is written in the point of view of a twelve year old girl who has a neighbor named Matthew who has Autism. Lucy talks about her caring experiences with Matthew. This book explores Autism and actually teaches you about something that thousands of people are going through right now. Its has compassionate characters that are emotionally intriguing.

"Matthew wasn't like anyone I'd ever met. He could be his own planet, become his own TV channel. Being with him was like sitting in a shouting whirlwind. He was a real mystery, and one I was determined to solve."- The Boy Who Ate Stars

Author of the Week: Sarah Dessen

Sarah Dessen is wonderful writer who writes in the genre of realistic fiction. My favorite part about Sarah Dessen's writing is that her characters are so easy to connect to and lovable. I have read all but one of her books and the following is a brief overview of my four favorites. Thats not to say I didn't love the other ones because I did. All the books are recommend to teenage girls but not preteens because I think that older readers will be able to appreciate her writing style more.


The Truth About Forever-
This is the first book I ever read by Sarah Dessen. It has a classic plot almost but with a modern twist with the characters.


This Lullaby-
I think that Remy the main character goes through a lot of what your average teenage girl gos through. This book might help some girls through some hard times.



Dreamland-
Dreamland deals with an important issue that pertains to more teenage relationships than you think. Which is very sad. This book is very profound and I wouldn't be surprised if something along these lines happened to Dessen herself.




Just Listen-
This book doesn't really seem to have a plot to me. But the characters are so lovable and you care so much about them it doesn't even matter. It also shows a hard time that teenage girls are often going through; Pressure from your parents.
