Evermore

Friend recommended me this book saying it was a lot like Twilight. The beginning is so much like Twilight, I almost put it down, but like she promised it quickly became its own story. I've never been that big on fantasy, but I can't help but love these everlasting love stories with the supernatural attached! This was a quick, engaging read that I can't wait to share with my middle school students!

LA Candy

This is Lauren Conrad, aka LC's, first novel. It is about a girl who moves to LA and gets put on a reality show, I know shocking, but for all it is worth she didn't do a half bad job. The writing wasn't exactly great, but surprisingly better than I expected. It was slow at first but eventually I really got into it and I can't wait for the next in the series!

Firefly Lane

Since there really is no other way to explain how I feel right now, I must say this is my favorite book I have ever read. I know I will read it again and again. Where do I begin? This book is FULL of life lessons and things to discuss. It would be perfect to do as a book club. I've read other books like this that follow friends through the good and bad times of life. They're actually one of my favorite types of books, but this story blows by far most of them out of the water. I loved how Kristen Hannah showed the passing of time through pop culture, including war/political events and songs/celebs that were popular during those times. No matter which friend you're more like every woman can see themselves in this book. Each memory that was shared wasn't shown just for the purpose of making the book longer, this book is so well crafted and pieced together. I loved how the beginning and the end tied together. This book is why I read!

Secrets of My Hollywood Life: On Location

I have to say I loved this book too! I think I've found a teenage series that not only my kids will love, but that I love reading too!

Secrets of My Hollywood Life

This is a Hannah Montana like story. A A list young girl wants to know what it will be like to be normal so she dresses up and attends a high school. The best part about this is how modern it is. Mentions of all the stuff I see on E! News. It is written by a girl who has worked for Tabloids so she really knows her stuff. Throughout the book, she tells the secrets of Hollywood life, which are very honest, and create a realistic atmosphere. I think any teenage girl would love these books!

The Sonnet Lover

Okay I'm not a huge fan on sonnets in the first place, so I knew this wasn't going to be my book. The plot was okay and the characters were sorta dull but I'm glad I read it. It was way different from the normal romantic dramadies I read.

Dear John

I don't know how but even when someone doesn't die at the end of Nicholas Sparks' books, I still end up crying. This is the first book of his that I've read in a while that I really loved. I thought it showed true testimony to what true love really is. I'm not sure many people out there understand it in today's world. True love is doing whatever is best for the other person even if it isn't what is best for yourself. In fact it may be the thing that hurts you the most.

The Bachlorette Party

This book is about the equivalent of the movie The Hangover, except it is the girl's version. It's just as racy! My mouth kept dropping open at all the things this crazy night had in store and of course with consequences! A fun, easy summer read!

Remember Me?

I just love Sophie Kinsella's books! This is the perfect romantic comedy about a girl who gets amnesia and wakes up as this new person that she doesn't remember becoming. The new her has all the right things: husband, great job, rocking body, but is amazed at the things she had to give up to become this person. Reminded me a little of the movie 13 going on 30, but the girl can't go back in time and undo what she became.

Life as We Knew It

If you haven't read this book and you are the slightest bit interested in children's literature you must read this book. It is a girl's diary entries that take place when a meteor hits the moon, knocking it off course and changing the Earth forever. Volcanoes, tsunamis, dropping temperatures, etc. happen as families try to survive! Very addicting!

My Sisters Keeper

This is one of the fastest books I have ever read. Not only is it engrossing with its topic, but really well written. It is heavy but I'm certainly glad I read it!
