Lament by Maggie Stiefvater

Summary: Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a prodigiously gifted musician. She's about to find out she's also a cloverhand - one who can see faeries.

Unexpectedly, Deirdre finds herself infatuated with a mysterious boy named Luke, who enters her ordinary life, seemingly out of thin air. But his interest in her might be something darker than summer romance. When a sinister faerie named Aodhan shows up with deadly orders from the Faerie Queen, it forces Dee right into the midst of Faerie. Caught in the crossfire with Deirdre is James, her wisecracking but loyal best friend.

Deirdre had been wishing her summer weren't so dull, but taking on a centuries-old Faerie Queen isn't exactly what she had in mind.


My Thoughts: I'll start off by saying Maggie is one of my favorite authors. I was sucked into Shiver and really enjoyed Linger. Lament was a whole new story with new characters. We meet Deirdre who is a very good musician. I got the vibe she wasn't very popular, just your normal average 16 year old girl. She kind of keeps to herself but does have a best friend named James. I really liked James but we didn't get to know him very well. He made appearances throughout the story but never for very long and never many details. We also meet Luke who is infatuated with Dee. They are drawn to one another which begins their epic love story. Luke was sent to kill Dee but he falls in love with her. That than upsets the queen and all heck breaks lose.

I really enjoyed hearing Luke's story. I wasn't too sure about him at first. I wanted to know more about him and why he acted the way he did.

I enjoyed Lament but I didn't love it as much as Shiver. I just felt I couldn't connect to Dee and Luke as much as Grace and Sam. Luke was a likable character and he had some good moments but I wasn't hanging on his every word like I was on Sam's. I still will be reading Ballad soon. I find it hard I didn't like this book as much as Shiver though, I have been on a fairy kick lately so I thought I would have loved loved it.

Overall: Really liked it but didn't love it. Ballad here I come. I want to know more about James.

Cover: I like the cover but think I like the cover for Ballad more.

What Did You Get This Week?

As You Wish by Jackson Pearce

Summary: Ever since Viola's boyfriend broke up with her, she has spent her days silently wishing—to have someone love her again and, more importantly, to belong again—until one day she inadvertently summons a young genie out of his world and into her own. He will remain until she makes three wishes.

Jinn is anxious to return home, but Viola is terrified of wishing, afraid she will not wish for the right thing, the thing that will make her truly happy. As the two spend time together, the lines between master and servant begin to blur, and soon Jinn can't deny that he's falling for Viola. But it's only after Viola makes her first wish that she realizes she's in love with Jinn as well . . . and that if she wishes twice more, he will disappear from her life—and her world—forever.

Jackson Pearce spins a magical tale about star-crossed lovers, what it means to belong . . . and how important it is to be careful what you wish for.

My Thoughts: Wow, Wow, Wow. I'll start off by saying that I loved this book. We are introduced to Viola who is 16, lonely, nothing can ever go right, and she just wants to fit in. She had the life before. She had a hot boyfriend named Lawrence and she felt like she belonged with him. Now she's alone and feels like an outsider. Her boyfriend was once her best friend, than they got together, than he realized he was gay. Not Viola's happiest year. She is just kind of there, almost invisible to everyone. Nobody dislikes her but nobody really loves her either. Except in a best friend kind of way. Than comes along Jinn aka a genie to grant her 3 wishes. Jinn just shows up, wants Viola to wish so he can go back home. The longer he stays in the mortal world, the more he ages. He stops worrying about it so much after a while but its still fun to see how scared he was becoming.

At first Viola thinks shes going crazy because she is the only one who can see him. She than realizes he is real! This book was cute and had a bit of fluff but it was awesome. It was so addicting once I started reading I couldn't put it down until the ending. Viola ends up getting a new boyfriend Aaron and finally is becoming somebody again. She paints and has her best friend, what more could a girl want?

I really liked Jinn, I enjoyed his presence and wanted to see him on every page. He is sweet and he really cares about people. He does not just force his master to wish, he wants them to wish for things they want, he does not want them unhappy.

I liked all the relationships throughout this book. I liked how Viola and Lawrence stayed friends after the breakup. I liked how Lawrence and Jinn became friends, and I especially liked Jinn's and Viola's relationship.

Overall: Amazing book. I haven't read much about genies but Jinn is irresistible and a very lovable character.

Cover: I think the cover is cute enough. Yes, its somewhat plan but I think it does the book justice.

The Star Shack

By Lila Castle

Summary: Pete and Annabelle live for their summers together on Gingerbread Beach. They've always believed they were a perfect pair… until junior year, when Annabelle becomes obsessed with astrology. Now they can hardly stand each other. Pete thinks that Annabelle (a Leo) has become a total flake; Annabelle thinks Pete (a Scorpio) has become an uptight jerk.

When Annabelle dares Pete to open a summer business on the Boardwalk generating personalized horoscopes, their fast-paced, hilarious bickering soon rises to a fever pitch. The he-said/she-said advice of the Star Shack is wildly popular and seems able to fix any relationship problem… except their own.

But when one of Annabelle's star charts helps catch a thief, Pete might have to admit that the stars could really hold the key to the future…and to his own heart.

My Thoughts: Whoa. I love astrology so as soon as I read the description I knew I had to read this! We meet Annabelle and Pete who have had a thing since they were just kids and have came Gingerbread Beach every summer since. Annabelle has recently became really into astrology and Pete doesn't really believe in it. He believes more in everyday is a new day, etc. He starts to get fed up with Annabelle and she challenges him to open a summer business reading off people's astrology he can't deny it. You can see the chemistry between these two from the get go, and you just know they should be together. Many obstacles rise throughout the book keeping them from getting back together. This book was full of cute and fun! I loved all the astrology we saw throughout the book and the way they were together. We also get to watch other characters get together and fall in love. This book was a fun read.

Overall: I really liked this one. Its a cute book that makes you want to smile and go kick your shoes off at a beach, kind of impossible to do when its covered in snow outside but now I want to head on outside and wish there was sun outside

Cover: The cover is adorable!

Waiting On Wednesday (47)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill over at Breaking The Spine!

Cum Laude by Cecily Von Ziegesar

Summary: Dexter College is a small liberal arts college in the quiet town of Home, Maine. But it won't stay quiet for long with this group of freshmen. There's Shipley--blonde and beautiful, the object of envy and more than a little lust. Determined to assert herself and to shed her good-girl image, she buys cigarettes and condoms, because that's what every self-respecting college girl does. Her edgy roommate, Eliza, came to Dexter to get noticed, and she has the attitude and the mouth to prove it. Then there's Tom. Handsome, privileged, used to getting his own way, he's a jock-turned-artist who thinks his paintings will change the world. Sensitive Nick, Tom's wake-and-bake pot-smoking roommate, wants to follow in the footsteps of his boarding-school hero. And then there are brother and sister Adam and Tragedy Gatz. The freckle-faced farm boy lives at home with his parents and his little sister, who does all she can to stop him from being a wuss.

As Shipley, Eliza, Tom, Nick, and Adam find out, that first year of college is more than credits and cramming. Between the lust and the love, the secrecy and the scandal, they'll all receive an unexpected education. It's a time of shifting alliances, unrequited crushes, and coming of age. Find Yourself is Dexter's motto. And they are determined to do just that.

I really enjoy the show Gossip Girl so of course I will read this because its by the same author as the books. I think it sounds promising!

So Over My Head

By Jenny B Jones

Summary:

Fresh from saving the prom from a disastrous end, Bella--the amateur sleuth of Truman High--is ready to relax with her new boyfriend, Luke. Or so she thought.

When Luke's ex shows up, Bella has to wage a full-scale war to win him back. Her father is moments away from saying "I do" to a diva with shady motives. And a murdering magician has disappeared, leaving Bella dangling on a tightrope of one crazy adventure after another. Can Bella stop a wedding, win back the boy, and catch a killer before he strikes again?

My Thoughts: We are back to join Bella and the gang for another adventure. We are reunited with Bella's family and her friends. And of course Luke. Dreamy sexy nerdy Luke. There is a carnival in town and of course a murder just has to happen. And Bella is right there investigating to find out what happen and who ended up doing the murdering. Theres also another storyline going on at the same time, a few actually. One, Bella thinks that her fathers soon to be wife is up to something, and not something good. Bella doesn't want her father to get hurt so she starts looking into that. And of course there has to be some drama with Luke. His ex is back in town and she has her claws hooked right into him. Bella knows she has competition and it annoys her!

I really liked finding out what was going on with her Dad's girlfriend. I even liked how Bella's ex was thrown into the mix. Just as a friend of course, more or less he owed Bella a few favors after what he did to her. I also liked how Bella and her buddy worked for the carnival while investigating. And Luke. Oh Luke. I didn't like him as much in this book as the others. There were a few parts where he came off as a bit annoying. I think its because he kept defending his ex, and I wanted to yell at him, open your eyes, she clearly wants you back!!!! I still like Luke though.

With this series, I think that if you have a bit country in you, you'll enjoy these. If you've ever been around pigs,horses, farms, you'll feel right at home.

I recommend reading this series in order if you haven't already!

Overall: I think my favorite book so far was the 1st in the series. But it introduces us to everyone and it just flows really nicely. I still really enjoyed So Over My Head though and I like taking adventures with Bella.

Cover: This is my favorite cover! I could see Bella looking like the girl, I like the Ferris wheel in the background, and of course the pink cover.

Author Interview-Review-& Giveaway!!!

Welcome Morgan To Princess Bookie!

1.What did you find the most difficult part while writing Amy and Roger's Epic Detour?

I found the descriptions of the places very challenging. I really wanted the reader to feel like they were there in each new location. I’ve driven cross-country three times now – and the most recent trip was to do research for this book – but it’s hard to take notes when you’re driving! So much of a road trip is just what you feel when you’re driving through a place, and that can be hard to re-create. I took lots of pictures, and made what notes I could, but I was aware, in each new location, that it was a real challenge to get the description and the feeling of the place right.

2. If you could spend a day with Amy or Roger, who would you choose and why?

I’d like to spend a day with Roger. I think he’s got some great stories that didn’t make it into the book. I think he still has a little more to say, and I’d like to hear it. Plus, he’s got good music, and is always happy to drive!

3. What is your favorite book off all time?

This is SUCH a hard question. I know after I answer it, I’m going to think of three other books I wish I’d chosen. But one of my top ten books is I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith. It’s just incredible.

4. Who is your mentor, another author you look up to?

David Levithan has been an incredible mentor to me. He was my professor in graduate school, and was my thesis adviser on the book that became Amy & Roger. He’s also, of course, a brilliant author, and so generous with advice and always willing to welcome new writers. I have nothing but admiration for him.


5. If a young adult were to come off with just one message from your book, what would
you want it to be?

I think it might be that the journey is better with two people. That it might seem easier, or safer, to deal with things on your own and keep stuff inside, but ultimately, you’re much better off letting someone help and be there for you – even if it’s not the person you expected at first.

Amy And Roger's Epic Detour

Summary: Amy Curry thinks her life sucks. Her mom decides to move from California to Connecticut to start anew--just in time for Amy's senior year. Her dad recently died in a car accident. So Amy embarks on a road trip to escape from it all, driving cross-country from the home she's always known toward her new life. Joining Amy on the road trip is Roger, the son of Amy's mother's old friend. Amy hasn't seen him in years, and she is less than thrilled to be driving across the country with a guy she barely knows. So she's surprised to find that she is developing a crush on him. At the same time, she's coming to terms with her father's death and how to put her own life back together after the accident. Told in traditional narrative as well as scraps from the road--diner napkins, motel receipts, postcards--this is the story of one girl's journey to find herself.

My Thoughts: We are introduced to Amy. Shy reluctant Amy who has been through such a tragedy. She lost her father and still had a hard time adjusting. I also lost my dad so I can relate to exactly what she was feeling. She was lonely, never really being able to talk to her mom or brother about it. Everyone kept their feelings bottled up. Like things couldn't get any worst, Amy's mom pairs her up with an old friend, Roger. They haven't seen each other in years and she barely remembers him. Her family is showing the house so Amy must go meet up with her mom in another state. Roger shows up and Amy takes off with him to embark on a road trip. Things are uncomfortable at first. I mean, think about it, spending 4 days in a car with a boy you barely know! They slowly start to talk and he tells her about his ex girlfriend who broke up with him and how he didn't even see it coming! Amy starts to open up with him. I really liked how they could stay in a motel together, sleep in the same bed, but they were so tired they barely made it to the bed before they fell asleep. I liked how they faced each other when they fell asleep. Roger was such a sweetheart and I really liked him. Amy was a nice girl who just had a case of bad luck. This story was so much fun. I loved the journal she wrote on, the notes scribbled in her handwriting, and the play-lists Roger made. Most of the book I spend wondering, when are you two going to look at one another and really see each other! They had great chemistry as friends. This was a wonderful story about finding yourself and taking the next step in curing your fears, with a little romance mixed in.

Overall: Loved It! Despite it being over 300 pages I finished it in one sitting! Great book!

Cover: I really like it. I am always drawn to covers where the guy and girl are holding hands. There is just something so sweet about it.

Demon Princess Reign Check

by Michelle Rowen

Summary: Nikki Donovan was a demon princess. Now she’s a demon princess in love.

Fresh from finding out she is a demon princess and meeting her father for the first time, Nikki Donovan is looking forward to getting back to her regular high school life. But then Rhys, the handsome teenage king of the faery realm, enrolls at her school as a “foreign exchange student.” Her conflicted feelings for Rhys and her boyfriend are getting in the way of her new relationship with the Shadow-creature Michael. But this love triangle from hell isn’t even Nikki’s biggest problem: There’s a new prophecy that claims she will destroy all the demon and human worlds. Her best friend Melinda just might be a demon-slayer-in-training. Throw in a field trip to none other than the Underworld itself . . . and Nikki’s going to be hoping for a rain check on more than just her homework!

My Thoughts: I have been on such a kick of reading Young Adult books! And amazing ones at that! In the first book Demon Princess Reign or Shine. We meet Nikki Donovan who moved to a new town two months because her mom got remarried, for the fourth time! Her father left her and her mom before she was even born. She is just trying to fit it and becomes friends with the popular girl. She snags a super cute popular guy and her life can't get any better. Until, she gets herself a bit of a stalker and finds out that her father is dying and he is demon! What does that make her? Yes, thats right, his heir to the throne and a demon princess. We get to know her stalker whose name is Michael. Michael is a shadow and basically a servant to her father. Of course Michael just so happens to catch Nikki's eye in a more than friend kind of a way and she begins to have feelings for him. She realizes things may not may as they seem and she just wants a normal life.

Now I'm done with the refresher course! In Demon Princess Reign Check, Nikki is back, even trying to be more normal than before. She is going to school, not letting her being a demon princess control her life. But than, what has to happen? Rhys, the fairy who lives in the forest aka the King Of The Fairy Side enrolls in Nikki's school. There is a new prophecy that insists Nikki is going to destroy everything and Rhys needs to know if its true so he can protect his people! Rhys and Nikki slowly become friends and he learns many secrets during his stay in the human world. He even finds out the name of his future queen through a dragon prophecy. What he does not find out is the truth behind his parent's death but one person does know. Nikki.

Nikki's mind goes back and forth between Michael and Rhys. She has feelings for them both but how can you choose between a hot shadow and a hot fairy. I myself couldn't control the lust I felt for them both. Yes, I really do like Michael, but lately I have found myself falling more in love with fairies and Rowen throws a super cute super charming magical fairy into this book who just took my breathe away.

Does Nikki find out if the stories about her are true? Does she make any more friends along the way to take her side in a fight? What about Melinda, her demon slaying friend? What happens to Michael and Rhys?

Overall: I loved this book! This series rocks and I can't wait to read more! I hope there is going to be another book.

Cover: Love it! I think that is Michael on the cover? He's a cutie! Now I wonder what Rhys looks like. Love the pink cover and the horns on her head.

Something About You

By Julie James


Summary: Staying overnight in a luxury hotel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde overhears a high-profile murder involving a U.S. Senator. Special Agent Jack Pallas is assigned to the investigation-the same Jack Pallas who still blames her for nearly ruining his career three years ago. Now the pair will have to put their rocky past behind them, focus on the case at hand-and smother the flame of their sizzling-hot sexual tension.




My Thoughts: We are introduced to Cameron Lynde who is an assistant US attorney. Even though she is an assistant attorney she is a sweet and caring person. When we think of people of attorneys we always think of tough hard women. Yes, Cameron is tough but she actually cares about people. Yes, she could outsmart you but she is a kind person. She gets herself stuck in a situation where she hears a murder take place. All she wanted to do was relax in a hotel room for one night. Of course that just can't happen for her. She than gets paired up with Jack Pallas. He has to watch over her while they try to catch the killer. Jack is your typical hero. He is gorgeous and I'd let him guard me anytime. Jack and Cameron have a history together, they worked on case 3 years ago and things didn't go so well. We also get introduced to Jack's partner and Cameron's friends which add a nice touch to the book. Is Cameron in trouble? Does Jack protect her? What happens between them? Does the fire ignite once again or do they just figure out who is the killer and move on with their lives separate from one another? Read this book now!

I absolutely love Julie James. I've read her previous books, Just The Sexist Man Alive and Practice Makes Perfect and I've given all 3 books 5 stars. I'll be honest, I don't really read many books focused on crimes, FBI agents, or lawyers. I watch enough of that on television so reading these kind of books just doesn't do it for me however Julie's books are brilliant. They also include a lot of romance and they are just awesome. Just The Sexist Man Alive was probably my favorite book but its hard to choose a favorite, because they are all wonderful. Julie James is a must buy for me. As soon as the book hits the shelve, I buy it and devour it in a few days.

Overall: Loved It! Loved Cameron and Jack. Loved the case. Loved The Whole Story and Characters.

Cover: The cover is gorgeous. I love the guys tux and I love her dress. Isn't it beautiful? All James covers are neat, they all cut off on half the face so we never really know what they look like but the clothes and colors are always neat.

Waiting On Wednesday (46)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill over at Breaking The Spine!

Crash Test Love by Ted Michael

Summary: The last thing Henry Arlington wants is a girlfriend. He's just very, very good with girls—reading their body language, knowing what they want to hear, and more importantly: getting them into the backseat of his car. But all that changes when he meets Garrett Lennox at one of the many Sweet Sixteen parties he crashes.

Garrett thinks she's done with guys. She was dumped by her ex when she moved from Chicago to Long Island, and now she realizes that she needs to find out who she is by herself, instead of with a boyfriend. What she really needs is some good friends.

Fortunately for Garrett, the J Squad—the "it" girls of East Shore High School—want her in their clique. All she has to do is pass one little test: get East Shore god Henry Arlington to take her to one of the biggest Sweet Sixteens of the year, then dump him in front of everyone.

Garrett has promised herself not to fall for another guy, so playing with Henry's heart shouldn't be hard. Right?

And Henry doesn't fall for girls, so when he and Garrett start to click, it doesn't matter. Does it?
As William Shakespeare once said, "Love is blind," or in this case, the lovers may be, as Henry and Garrett fall in love—and into the trap that awaits them. Because neither of them can even begin to see what the girls of Henry Arlington's past have in store.

I've been eyeing this one for a while!!!! Can't wait to read it!!!

She's So Dead To Us

By Kieran Scott

Summary: Perfect, picturesque Orchard Hill. It was the last thing Ally Ryan saw in the rear-view mirror as her mother drove them out of town and away from the shame of the scandal her father caused when his hedge fund went south and practically bankrupted all their friends -- friends that liked having trust funds and new cars, and that didn't like constant reminders that they had been swindled. So it was adios, Orchard Hill. Thanks for nothing.

Now, two years later, Ally's mother has landed a job back at the site of their downfall. So instead of Ally's new low-key, happy life, it'll be back into the snake pit with the likes of Shannen Moore and Hammond Ross.

But then there's Jake Graydon. Handsome, wealthy, bored Jake Graydon. He moved to town after Ally left and knows nothing of her scandal, but does know that he likes her. And she likes him. So off into the sunset they can go, right? Too bad Jake's friends have a problem with his new crush since it would make Ally happy. And if anyone deserves to be unhappy, it's Ally Ryan.

Ally was hoping to have left all the drama in the past, but some things just can't be forgotten. Isn't there more to life than money?

My Thoughts: Lately I have told myself I would only read books that I have heard raving reviews about. Most of you know Kieran Scott is actually Kate Brian. We are introduced to Ally whose family was involved in a major scandal and was basically forced to move away because of her dad's mistake. She is back in Orchard Hill after her father leaving and her mother finding a job there. Nobody welcomes Ally with open arms except newcomer Jake. Jake is new in town, but whats more? He lives in Ally's old house!!! Why is everyone so against Ally and Jake being together? Why can't she just rejoin their group. It wasn't her fault what her father did. I really enjoyed this novel. I loved how the chapters rotated between Ally and Jake. I didn't like Ally's old group much, they did all seem like spoiled rich kids and I felt like she was more than that. I really enjoyed learning about each of the characters in the book and I really liked Jake from the first page we met him. There were times I wish he would have stood up for Ally but he was put in a tough situation. I am itching to get my hands on book 2! I really enjoyed reading this book and I devoured it in one sitting. I just wanted to know what happened next.

Overall: Really loved this one. Of course the last page left me saying, ARRRGGGG because I want the second book in the series now!

Cover: The cover is awesome. I love the way it looks.

Hate List by Jennifer Brown

Summary: Five months ago, Valerie Leftman's boyfriend, Nick, opened fire on their school cafeteria. Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create. A list of people and things she and Nick hated. The list he used to pick his targets.

Now, after a summer of seclusion, Val is forced to confront her guilt as she returns to school to complete her senior year. Haunted by the memory of the boyfriend she still loves and navigating rocky relationships with her family, former friends and the girl whose life she saved, Val must come to grips with the tragedy that took place and her role in it, in order to make amends and move on with her life.


My Thoughts: I've been sitting here looking at this page for a while now, trying to come up with the right words for this review. Hate List is like nothing I've ever read before. We are introduced to Valerie and her boyfriend Nick. Valerie is your average high school student; quiet, somewhat dorky, and gets made fun of. Her boyfriend ranks on the same social level as her. This story is told in flashbacks and present time chapters. Nick and Valerie start a hate list, a notebook in which they write peoples names who they do not like or have made fun of them. Its just a simple idea to make themselves feel better. Valerie doesn't think anything serious will have come off it, its just a way to vent off steam.

One day at school Nick shows up. Valerie tells him about a classmate breaking her ipod and Nick goes up to her, pulls out a gun, and starts shooting. As stunned as Valerie is, she jumps in front of another girl (the girl she detests the most) and tells Nick to Stop!! He hurts many students, including Valerie, and then fires the gun on himself.

Valerie is devastated, she never saw this coming. Yes her and Nick talked about suicide, being mad at others, but it was never supposed to be serious. They were "just talking." Valerie has to go back to school the following year and face her demons. She has to graduate and suffer through senior year with everyone looking at her.

This story is amazing. We feel like we are really there experiencing this tragedy. Valerie is shunned, nobody wants anything to do with her, they figure since she was Nick's girlfriend she was in on it and she deserves the same fate he got. Its hard to sum up why this book was so amazing. I was sad because of all the student's deaths, I was just flat out emotional.

If this book is sad, why should I read it? Its the kind of sad that makes you really think about life and whats important. Its not just sad, its also heart-wrenching and you will never see the people who stick by Valerie coming. She does make new friends. You get to see how her family treats her and her therapist. You get to understand Nick a little bit more and realize why he did what he did. As much as I wanted to cry throughout this book its one of those books that even though you know bad things are going to happen, you can't stop yourself from reading.

I recommend this book to anyone who has ever went to high school or lived through any kind of violence at school. Anyone who has been picked on by the bully or has been the bully!

Overall: I loved this one. Yes, it was emotional but it was also really great. The last few pages I did have tears rolling down my cheeks but honestly I'm not sure if they were good or bad tears. Definitely have the Kleenex ready.

Cover: I really like it. I like the black and white aspect of it.

What I'd Give It:

My Double Life By Janette Rallison

Summary: Her whole life, Alexia Garcia has been told that she looks just like pop star Kari Kingsley, and one day when Alexia’s photo filters through the Internet, she’s offered a job to be Kari’s double. This would seem like the opportunity of a lifetime, but Alexia’s mother has always warned her against celebrities.

Rebelliously, Alexia flies off to L.A. and gets immersed in a celebrity life. Not only does she have to get used to getting anything she wants, she romances the hottest lead singer on the charts, and finds out that her own father is a singing legend. Through it all, Alexia must stay true to herself, which is hard to do when you are pretending to be somebody else!


My Thoughts: We are introduced to Alexia who is in high school. The thing I really liked about Alexia is she is actually smart. Like really smart and you can see she is smart by just the way she talks and acts. She's not annoying. She's real. She also looks just like singer Kari Kingsley! Put blond hair on her and change the nose a little bit and she would pass as her double! Alexia is just trying to make it through high school, and go to college on a scholarship. Her mom never had much money but they get by. She asks a boy to a dance and he ends up making out with her enemy! Things can't get any weirder for Alexia. That is of course until Kari's manager shows up to ask Alexia if she'll take a job as a double for Kari so Kari can focus on her album and not have to make guest appearances for other things.

Alexia eventually agrees and she goes on to live the celebrity life. She meets her celeb crush Grant and starts to fall in love with him. But he thinks she's Kari so things can never work out between them. How can she tell him the truth that she's a nobody from a small town?

What happens between Alexia and Grant? What happens between Kari and Alexia, do they become friends? Who else does she get to meet?

Overall: I really enjoyed this one. I've read Just One Wish by Janette Rallison and this one is just as cute. I love how this book focused on celebrities and the way Alexia got to meet her real world celeb crush. There are also many side plots, such as Alexia finally getting to meet her father who went out of the picture a long time ago. The duet between Alexia and Grant was smoldering! It was romantic and I wish it would happen to me! A Girl Can Always Dream. I recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a fun book especially if your a celeb look a like or have a crush on a celeb (mine is Chad Michael Murray).

Cover: Love it! I love the way she looks confident and all the details on the cover. For example, the wedding ring on the camera man's finger. The cover is very detailed.

What I'd Give It:

Waiting On Wednesday (44)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill over at Breaking The Spine!


Wanted by Sara Shepard

Summary: In Rosewood, majestic estates sprawl for acres, and Tiffany toggle bracelets dangle from every girl's wrist. But not all that glitters is gold, and the town harbors secrets darker than anyone could imagine—like the truth about what really happened the night Alison DiLaurentis went missing. . . .

Back in middle school, Ali plucked Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer from obscurity and turned them into the beautiful, popular girls everyone wanted to be. Ali was the best friend they ever had. But she also made them do terrible things and taunted them with their worst secrets. Now, three years later, all their questions about Ali have finally been answered and they can put this awful chapter of their lives behind them. Or so they think.

Not every story has a happy ending, especially when four pretty little liars have done so many wicked things. In the dramatic conclusion of Sara Shepard's bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer could get everything they've ever wanted—unless A has one more horrifying twist in store.

Yes, I am a big fangirl of The Pretty Little Liars Series! I read all of them within a week! I'm anxious to find out what happens after the 7th book!!! Thankfully I just read them a few months ago and didn't have to wait long for the release of Wanted!
