Forget You


Forget you
by Jennifer Echols

I have been waiting for this book for so long, this author never disappoints. I read her first book "Going too Far" probably more than ten times already and I believe this book will be the same until the next one comes out. There is something about the way she develops her characters that makes you want to be them and see them win in the end. Very realistic and relate able. Zoey is a girl who prides on trying to be perfect, but when her mom goes crazy and then Zoey gets in a car crash and remembers nothing that's when things get interesting. She remembers everything but that one night what happened after a football game. She is torn between two boys, she doesn't remember who she went with but she tries everything to find out without letting people know she has amnesia. You see this relationship develop into something that feels like it should have been there all along, I don't know what I can say about this book other than I can't wait to read it again. And again.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox



The Adoration of Jenna Fox
by Mary E. Pearson

So this was a very Sci-Fi type book, which I'm not usually into but I didn't think it was too bad at all. I've had this book on my shelf for a while and finally got around to reading it. It's pretty much about a family that refuse to let go of their daughter and will do anything to keep her with them. In comes the sci-fi portion where this book seems to take place in the future where there are ways to save body parts with Bio Gel. It's a blue substance containing nanobots and neurons that reach the brain and learns and grows with you. Anyway it's not really the whole thing about the book - really the lesson learned is who are you really? It was a good read.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
An Eclipse Novella
by Stephanie Meyer

So I was really hesitant about getting this book, which turned out in my favor because my friend got it for my birthday, hugs to her!!! I really didn't think I was going to like this book but I really fell in love with the character Bree, and when I saw the movie all I could think about was Bree's back story and how I wish they would have showed a little bit more in the Eclipse movie. Yes I know she's obviously not the main character but it would have been nice to see nonetheless. I really liked this story and I wanted her and Diego to run away together. It would have been so sweet, but all who read the twilight saga: Eclipse knew what her fate was going to be, but still it would have been a cute story. I wouldn't mind finding out whatever happened to Big Fred when he left the "coven", I think we need yet another book please!

Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall

Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall
By Wendy Mass

I just sort of picked this book out from Amazon not really expecting anything about it, but it was a good read. It's written as poetry so it's a really quick read and not too much interpretation on the poetry end. It's just a story. About a girl who gets hit in the head with a dodge ball and goes into a coma. But while in this coma she goes to the mall where she's spent most of her life anyway and goes to the lost and found. Here she's given a bag full of items that tells different stories about her life. When people ask about your life you don't really tell them about it, you tell them a variety of stories that depicts your life. Does that make sense, well it was better worded in the book, this is why I'm not a writer. It's a really quick and easy read and makes you wonder about all the little things that happened so long ago and how those things shaped you to be the person you are today.

Burned

Burned

This is the continuation of House of Night and even though it really didn't get that far into the future it was a great book. Here we find Zoey in the spirit world trying to piece herself together after her spirit shattered. Then on the other side we have the relationship between Stevie Rae and Rephaim growing. This is one relationship for some reason the two of them together I just want it to happen, yes I know he has a birdface but for some reason I feel like one day he will get his human form back and they can be together. Hopeless romantic here. I don't really want to talk about the ending, but I will say this it was not a total cliffhanger like the last book but it was still good and I can't wait to find out where PC and Kristin take us in the next installment of the House of Night Series.

Waves


Waves
by Sharon Dogar

This book was interesting, told by two different people but three different time periods at the same time. It involves a girl in a coma who is talking to her brother through her mind. It tells her story of what really happened before the accident and what she is feeling now. Asking him for help in solving the mystery of what really happened to her. It's interesting to see him go through this experience with all the people she experienced things with. It was definitely not a normal book I would read but it was good and would recommend it to anyone.

The Unwritten Rule


The Unwritten Rule
by Elizabeth Scott
This was a really quick read but cute none the less. I read it in a day literally, which is odd for me not something I normally do. It's about a girl, her best friend and a guy they both like. Although every girl knows the unwritten rule not to like your best friends boyfriend, but what if you liked them first? You really feel for the main character in this book because you can see how unkindly her own best friend really treats her but she doesn't even realize what's going on. It's an endearing book and another great one by Elizabeth Scott, although I do wish it was a little bit longer, but great none the less.
