Take Me There

Take Me There
by Susane Colasanti


This is the second book I've read written by this author and it wouldn't necessarily be the last either. It didn't hit me as much as the first probably because I felt there were many story plots going on at the same time that I just kept wanting to focus on only one of them. The book is told by three different perspectives in two different parts. It's a good read but I was hoping for a little more. It's hard to keep jumping from perspective to perspective but repeating the same scene over again, I like it to keep flowing and not going back to the beginning with another point of view. Don't get me wrong I liked the book but I like to go with the flow more continuous and not backtracking.

Lucky Streak



Lucky Streak
by Carly Phillips

This is the second in her series of the Corwin Men - the first one was "Lucky Break" which was about Derek Corwin seeing his first love again and rekindling that closeness. The premis of the Corwin Men series is that the Corwin men are destined to be unlucky in love, when they fall in love bad things seem to happen to the women in their lives. Mike is a cop and meets Amber in Vegas, where they have a quickie marraige and it goes from there. She's running away from some men (cons) and follows him home to Boston. It's always hard to learn to trust another person especially when trust is gone in the first few moments of meeting one another. This was another great story by Carly Phillips, I have always enjoyed her stories. Funny thing is it's Oprah who introduced me to her with "The Heartbreaker". Good fun light summer read, romance. If only life was really like that.

Perfect Chemistry



Perfect Chemistry
by Simone Elkeles



This book was definitely a quick fun and easy read. I couldn't put this book down I think I read it in like two or three days, (would have been shorter but I only have so many free hours a day). It was a very cute story about the bad boy and the good girl getting together. When Alex would talk to Brittany it was like they were in their own world. It's a timeless story like Romeo and Juliet, or Sandy and Danny (the second one sounds more like the book and is even referenced in there). It was a good book and I could definitely see it all in my head and didn't want it to end.

Along for the Ride



Along For the Ride
by Sarah Dessen

I have read every single book by Sarah Desson and like each one for different reasons. This book was great just like all the others. It's about a girl who moves in with her dad for the summer. Only to finally learn to let loose and learns how to live life finally. Life is not all about work work work but it's also about playing and having a good time and learning and doing new things that is what this book is about. Great summer read, can't wait to see what she comes up with in her next book.

13 Little Blue Envelopes





13 Little Blue Envelopes

by Maureen Johnson

This books was super cute. I would love to go on an adventure the way she did. The premise of the book is after her grandmother died "Ginny" was sent on an adventure every time she would complete a task she would open the next envelope to see where she would end up next. She started out in England and went all over the European countries, again another adventure I would love to go on. This book was all about finding yourself and thinking outside the box doing things you wouldn't normally book. It was a cute fun quick easy read, great for the summer.

Hunted


Hunted
by PC Cast & Kristin Cast
This is the fifth book of the House of Night series and I'm totally addicted, I don't really want to give much away. Here's the synopsis of he book:
At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey's friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren't Neferet's secrets any longer. But an unexpected danger has emerged. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, and no one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat he poses. Kalona looks gorgeous, and he has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but what if this past life shows Zoey secrets she doesn't want to hear and truths she can't face?
On the run and holed up in Tulsa's Prohibition-era tunnels, Zoey and her gang must discover a way to deal with something that might bring them all down. Meanwhile, Zoey has a few other little problems. The red fledglings have cleaned up well--they've even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home--but are they really as friendly as they seem? On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to make things right with super-hot ex-, Eric, but she can't stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms after one unforgettable night, and she is driven to try to save him from Neferet's sinister influence at all costs. Will anyone believe the power evil has to hide among us?
You really have to read the books hey are a great series, they are no really for young readers but they are definetly great books. I can't wait for the next one which is coming out in October. there are still things that need to be solved in the book but I can totally see this being a tv show or even a movie like twilight just because there is so much more action and stuff going on than there was in the twilight series and these books seem more reality (well as far as vampires go) than in twilight. the main character is not so desperate and pathetic (don't get me wrong i LOVE the Twilight series sooo much). But the main character Zoey is more realistic in her life and the men and friends that she has to deal with. I just love the book and can't wait for the next one.

Love the One You're With


Love the One You're With
I haven't read a book like this in a very long time. Usually I totally love chick lit, but this book was really really hard to get into. It didn't start getting good to me until the end of the middle of the book. It kind of dragged and I think took me way too long to read because I didn't feel like reading it at home. It wasn't a can't put you down kind of book. This is the first I've read of this author and it was just too wordy for me and I just couldn't connect with any of the characters they all seemed I don't know one dimensional and predictable. Not a book I would pick up again.
