The yucky green ones? Midnight cram sessions and Saturday’s spent studying. The delicious red? The family legacy: Columbia, and a future in finance. Except now it’s starting to look like Poppy’s jelly bean theory is wrong. School has been her life until, but maybe it’s time to start living now.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="color: #181818; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Poppy has thirty days to try a new life. No school, no studying. Just jumping into every possible world. Thirty days to find her passion, her path, and maybe even love. The Jelly Bean Crisis is officially on.</span></span></div>

She has always done what people have expected her and is realizing that may not be exactly what she wants. Poppy makes a decision to try different careers/jobs for 30 days to discover who she really is and where she wants her life to go.</span></span></div>

She is determined to do something she loves and something that makes her happy, no matter what those around her are saying. The careers she tries are not what I expected of her. They are way off base, but hilarious. She finds out more about herself in these 30 days than she knew in the last 16 years of her life. </span></span></div>

They felt abandoned and Poppy thought they were growing apart, although with her determination she can make anything work. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing was good and the author kept me hooked from the beginning. I loved Poppy's character. She is strong-willed, determined, fun-loving, and has a great heart. The personal growth throughout this book is easily seen. Her family isn't quite as willing to let her discover herself, but the overall impression these 30 days make on everyone around her is a breakthrough. They all discover something they may not have known about themselves before. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText2864342110017231151">High school senior Tyler
Miller used to be the kind of guy who faded into the background—average
student, average looks, average dysfunctional family. But since he got
busted for doing graffiti on the school, and spent the summer doing
outdoor work to pay for it, he stands out like you wouldn’t believe. His
new physique attracts the attention of queen bee Bethany Milbury, who
just so happens to be his father’s boss’s daughter, the sister of his
biggest enemy—and Tyler’s secret crush. And that sets off a string of
events and changes that have Tyler questioning his place in the school,
in his family, and in the world.<br /><br />In <em>Twisted</em>, the
acclaimed Laurie Halse Anderson tackles a very controversial subject:
what it means to be a man today. Fans and new readers alike will be
captured by Tyler’s pitch perfect, funny voice, the surprising narrative
arc, and the thoughtful moral dilemmas that are at the heart of all of
the author’s award-winning, widely read work.</span></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Tyler Miller had made some bad choices in the past, but is
determined to find himself now that he’s made changes in his life.<span> </span>An event at a party leaves those in school
wondering what Tyler is really like, and leaves Tyler trying to find himself
and discover what it means to be a man.<span> </span>Tyler’s
mother is a pet photographer and an alcoholic, his father excessively works and
has anger issues and his sister as whiny and often cares only about
herself.<span> </span>Tyler is constantly living in
fear of disappointing those around him and causing more harm than necessary.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">This book was riveting.<span>
</span>I loved that there was a male protagonist because the typical books
seems to have a female main character.<span> </span>I
picked this one up because I enjoyed other books by the same author and because
it was on the Banned Books list.<span> </span>I was a
little surprised by that after listening to it.<span>
</span>The narrator was great and portrayed Tyler exactly how I felt he should
be portrayed.<span> </span>I felt like I could
connect with him and feel his emotions.<span>
</span>Tyler made me laugh with him at times and want to cry with him too.<span> </span>I would recommend picking this book up on
audio as I did.<span> </span>It’s a great listen. </span></div>

dating a guy like Nathan. He’s nothing like her abusive stepfather—in
other words, he’s sweet. But the closer they get, the more Nathan wants
of her time, of her love, of her...and the less she wants to give. <br /><br />As
Rae’s affection for Nathan turns to fear, she leans on her friend Leo
for support. With Leo, she feels lighter, happier. And possessive
Nathan becomes jealous. <br /><br />Then a tragedy lands Rae in the ICU.
Now, hovering between life and death, Rae must find the light amid the
darkness…and the strength to fight for life and the love she deserves.</span></div>

It's time to spotlight Wisconsin on the Reading Road Trip 2012. Reading Road Trip is hosted by Britta from <a href="http://www.ilikethesebooks.com/">I Like These Books</a> and Hafsah from <a href="http://www.iceybooks.com/">Icey Books</a>. I'm so excited to be a part of this! This is the first year that Reading Road Trip is taking place, and basically for the month of July various blogs will be posting a giveaway for a different state.<br />
<br />
I chose Wisconsin because that's where I'm from!<br />

This was so much more difficult than I thought. So, I ended up choosing a book that took place in Wisconsin. I'm excited because this also happens to be a newly released novel. It sounds very interesting, and I'll be picking up a copy for myself as well.<br />
<br />
On to the details...the giveaway is US only (sorry peeps, this girl is broke!). I will be giving away one copy of....<br />

<span id="freeText17361386175714204933"><i>There are stories where the girl gets her prince, and they live happily ever after. (This is not one of those stories.)</i><br /><br />Jenna
Lord’s first sixteen years were not exactly a fairytale. Her father is a
controlling psycho and her mother is a drunk. She used to count on her
older brother—until he shipped off to Afghanistan. And then, of course,
there was the time she almost died in a fire. <br /><br /><i>There are
stories where the monster gets the girl, and we all shed tears for his
innocent victim. (This is not one of those stories either.)</i><br /><br />Mitch Anderson is many things: A dedicated teacher and coach. A caring husband. A man with a certain... magnetism. <br /><br /><i>And
there are stories where it’s hard to be sure who’s a prince and who’s a
monster, who is a victim and who should live happily ever after. (These
are the most interesting stories of all.)</i><br /><br /><i>Drowning Instinct</i> is a novel of pain, deception, desperation, and love against the odds—and the rules.</span></div>

<i><span id="freeText12779870546933896408">How far would you go for love, beauty, and jealousy? <br />When
Nicole Castro, the most beautiful girl in her wealthy New Jersey high
school, is splashed with acid on the left side of her perfect face, the
whole world takes notice. But quiet loner Jay Nazarro does more than
that--he decides to find out who did it. Jay understands how it feels to
be treated like a freak, and he also has a secret: He's a brilliant
hacker. But the deeper he digs, the more danger he's in--and the more he
falls for Nicole. Too bad everyone is turning into a suspect, including
Nicole herself. <br />Award-winning author Paul Griffin has written a high-stakes, soulful mystery about the meaning--and dangers--of love and beauty.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><span>I know this was a topic a couple of weeks ago, but I obviously missed out on it. Since this week is a freebie, I decided to go ahead and list the top ten on my TBR list! My TBR list contains a LOT of books. I don't even want to begin to count them. Of course, there are some that I'm hoping to get to VERY soon. I'm not going to go into the details of why I want to read them, because that would take too long. Basically, a couple of them are firsts in series that I have sitting on my shelf (possibly with the second as well) and I feel like I need to get to them ASAP! I don't know why I've let them sit for so long. Others are ones I've wanted to read in a while or second books in a series.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Anyway, I thought I would go ahead and share with you some of the books I received in the last couple of weeks. I wasn't sure what to call this post, but for now this will have to do.</div>

remembers hanging out at the gorge with her closest friends after a
blowout party. She remembers climbing the trail with her perfect
boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss, soft, lingering, and
meant to reassure her. So why can't she remember what happened in the
moment before they were supposed to dive? Why was she left cowering at
the top of the cliff, while Joey floated in the water below-dead? <br />As
Maggie's memories return in snatches, nothing seems to make sense. Why
was Joey acting so strangely at the party? Where did he go after taking
her home? And if Joey was keeping these secrets, what else was he
hiding? <br />The latest novel from the author of "The Tension of
Opposites," "One Moment" is a mysterious, searing look at how an instant
can change everything you believe about the world around you.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText5485070910240406401">I was excited to read this book because the synopsis made it sound really interesting. I thought it would make a great summer read and I love the cover. Thankfully I wasn't disappointed! McBride had me hooked on this book from the very beginning. The plot line was thrilling and mysterious. I couldn't wait to find out more. However, I will admit this book is slightly depressing.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText5485070910240406401">Maggie is an amazing character. She is well-rounded, sweet and believable. The grief she experiences from the loss of her boyfriend is expected and not over exaggerated.` She has her ups and downs and is just a very lovable character. I found myself attached to her and hoping for the best. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText5485070910240406401">I literally couldn't put this book down. This was probably the fastest I finished a book in a long time! Like I said, the storyline was catching and the mystery surrounding the death of Joey was something I couldn't help but try to figure out. As more details arise, I began to feel a little differently. Some characters didn't have a single good aspect to them. I almost didn't want to know what happened. I thought it would ruin the book. Of course, I was wrong. The ending of this book is the best part. I was thrilled to have everything seemingly worked out. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText10173010780493021737">Calder White lives in
the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of
murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans,
killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan
targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their
mother's death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to
his family's homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to
lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock's daughter, Lily. Easy
enough—especially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistable
good looks and charm on ususpecting girls. Only this time Calder screws
everything up: he falls for Lily—just as Lily starts to suspect that
there's more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined.
And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span id="freeText10173010780493021737"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I don't know why, but lately I've been picking up books and finding out they are NOTHING like I think they are going to be. I suppose it would help if I read the synopsis instead of just looking at pretty covers. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="freeText10173010780493021737"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyway, even though this wasn't what I expected, it was a very interesting book. Mermaids are murderers. Who would have thought that? They are definitely not friendly creatures as one may think. At least, as I thought. Calder White is a mermaid who is choosing to attempt to live without feeding on humans (as his sisters do). He goes long periods of times without feeding, because he feels bad about it. This summer, Calder and his family are planning revenge for their mother's death. </span></span></span><span id="freeText10173010780493021737"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The plan is to take one person from the Hancock family as a sacrifice, in a way, to make up for their mother's death. Their plan takes a turn when Calder decides he cares deeply for one of the family members, Lily. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="freeText10173010780493021737"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lily is a strange character to me. I feel like she doesn't react in a way that a normal person would react. It was strange to see her feelings towards mermaids and animals of the lake. She seemed to have more understanding than most people. This would be an aspect of the book that was a little frustrating to me. She didn't seem real.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="freeText10173010780493021737"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Calder's character was a little strange too, but he was easy to like. He had a side to him that made you want to like him. I wanted the best for him, even with the mistakes he made. He tries to make the right decisions, but having a deep connection with his sisters makes his decisions more difficult. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="freeText10173010780493021737"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overall, there was a lot of excitement in this book. I enjoyed the story, even if some aspects of it seemed unlikely. The writing was good and the author kept me entertained. I especially liked the ending of this book, which of course I won't tell you about. I would say this is a book to pick up from the library or borrow from someone before adding it to your bookshelf. Either you will like it or you wont'. Personally, I don't think there is much of an in-between for this one! </span></span></span>LillyReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430456352796096156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236750037923451820.post-51248267413858853932012-06-20T09:59:00.000-05:002012-06-20T09:59:00.303-05:00Waiting on Wednesday: The Other Normals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText2685170775939189522">Given the chance,
fifteen-year-old Peregrine “Perry” Eckert would dedicate every waking
moment to Creatures & Caverns, an epic role-playing game rich with
magical creatures, spell casting, and deadly weapons. The world of
C&C is where he feels most comfortable in his own skin, so when his
parents ship him off to summer camp Perry is sure he’s in for the worst
summer of his life.<br /><br />Everything changes, however, when Perry gets
to camp and stumbles into the World of the Other Normals. Perry’s new
otherworldly friends need his help to save their princess and prevent
mass violence. As they embark on their quest together, Perry realizes
that his nerdy childhood has uniquely prepared him to be a great warrior
in this world, and maybe even a hero.<br />Bestselling author Ned Vizzini
delivers a compulsively readable and wildly original story about the
winding and often hilarious path to manhood.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText5249542480166689327">A threat from the past could destroy the future. And the clock is ticking...<br /><br />Kaleb
Ballard's relentless flirting is interrupted when Jack Landers, the man
who tried to murder his father, timeslips in and attacks before
disappearing just as quickly. But Kaleb has never before been able to
see time travelers, unlike many of his friends associated with the
mysterious Hourglass organization. Are Kaleb's powers expanding, or is
something very wrong?<br /><br />Then the Hourglass is issued an ultimatum.
Either they find Jack and the research he's stolen on the time gene, or
time will be altered with devastating results. <br /><br />Now Kaleb,
Emerson, Michael, and the other Hourglass recruits have no choice but to
use their unusual powers to find Jack. But where do they even start?
And when? And even if they succeed, it may not be enough...<br /><br />The
follow-up to Hourglass, Timepiece blends the paranormal, science
fiction, mystery, and suspense genres into a nonstop thrill ride where
every second counts.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This book was great! I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was written in Kaleb's POV instead of Emerson's. I fully expected Emerson to once again narrate this story as she did the first, but the change of pace was interesting and fit very well in the story!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I don't want to give too much away in case you haven't had a chance to read <i>Hourglass</i>. Basically this book continues from <i>Hourglass</i> and delves deeper into the world that Myra McEntire created. We learn more about each of the characters, as well as more about the entire world. The bit of romance included in this book is so fitting. There isn't too much romance to be overbearing, but hearing about the brewing romances among characters just made it so much better. Each character contains the spark of something that makes you want to love them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I love the mystery this book contains, as well as the paranormal aspects. It's a mix of everything I love all bundled up into a pretty little bow! I can't get enough of these characters. Emerson and Michael are amazing together. Kaleb is such a gentlemen and a person I wouldn't mind knowing myself. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The once aspect of this book I did NOT like was the ending! How could she leave us hanging like that?! I don't know if I can wait until book number three comes out to find out what happens. I have so many questions going through my head I just can't take it! In all seriousness, you must read this book. I loved it. I loved it to pieces, and I will likely be reading it again soon because I can't get enough! </span></div>LillyReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430456352796096156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236750037923451820.post-85890807583647909812012-06-07T09:30:00.000-05:002012-06-07T09:30:04.784-05:00Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway: Undertow by Callie Kingston<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i style="color: #222222; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">While she sleeps beside a log on the wild Oregon coast, a rogue wave pulls Marissa into the sea. Now she dreams each night of a merman who rescues her. Obsessed with returning to this beautiful creature, she again risks her life in the frigid ocean.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Will Marissa remain lost forever in the eddies of her mind, or can real love save her from the abyss? Sometimes, the dangers which lie within are the deadliest.</span></i></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Where to start with this one? Marissa is an amazing young woman. She has suffered a lot of traumatic experiences throughout her life, and at the beginning of the book, she suffers another one. Marissa finds out her boyfriend Drew is cheating on her, and escapes to the beach to be alone and just think. While there, she's whisked out to sea by the current and saved by what she believes to be a merman. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Marissa experiences a lot of craziness in the book, including her own mental breakdown. She goes through a lot of emotions and the author did a great job expressing those emotions to the reader with a lot of tact and sensitivity. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">There was a bit of a lull midway through the book in which I wasn't quite with it, but I'm glad that I stuck it out. The ending sucked me in and made me devour the book so much quicker. It was a great read overall and I really enjoyed it. I fell in love with Marissa and her new boyfriend, Jim. Marissa is a skeptical young woman who has a lot of emotions to deal with. Jim is a great guy who is there for her and willing to help in any way that he possibly can. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">I don't want to say too much more, because I don't want to give anything away. Basically, if you like contemporary fiction I suggest you pick up this book and give it a try. Push your way through the middle because I believe you will REALLY enjoy it! </span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="freeText12729084642563118864">Eva and Addie started
out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven together in one body,
taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk,
how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried
whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them fading? The
doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged
for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared
gone. Except, she wasn’t…<br /><br />For the past three years, Eva has
clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she’s still there,
trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a
way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable–hybrids are
considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva
will be locked away with the others. And yet…for a chance to smile, to
twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.</span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Everyone has something, someone,
somewhere else that they’d rather be. For four high-school seniors, their goals
of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Cara’s parents’ unrealistic
expectations have already sent her twin brother Conner spiraling toward
suicide. For her, <i>perfect </i>means rejecting their ideals to take a chance
on a new kind of love. Kendra covets the perfect face and body—no matter what
surgeries and drugs she needs to get there. To score his perfect home run—on
the field and off—Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre
realizes to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he’ll be
living a life his ancestors would never understand. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span>A riveting and startling companion
to the bestselling <i>Impulse</i>, Ellen Hopkins's <i>Perfect </i>exposes the
harsh truths about what it takes to grow up and grow into our own skins, our
own selves.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Perfect</i> is a
companion novel to <i>Impulse</i>, and I
think you must read <i>Impulse</i> before
reading <i>Perfect</i>.<span> </span>It will be a much more fulfilling
experience.<span> </span><i>Impulse</i> gives you the background information you need to understand
the situation among these teens even better.<span>
</span>Cara’s parents are ridiculous in their expectations, and it is these
expectations that caused Conner to commit suicide.<span> </span>Kendra is determined to be perfect, but perfect
in her eyes is unhealthy in most others.<span>
</span>Sean is willing to do anything to become a professional baseball player,
whether those things are legal or not.<span>
</span>Andre doesn’t want to follow in his parent’s footsteps, but rather take
his own path into the world of dance.<span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Each of these teens has an obstacle to becoming “perfect”
that they must overcome.<span> </span>Their parents
have different expectations of them that don’t make sense to these kids.<span> </span>They want to be perfect, but perfect is
really in the eyes of the beholder.<span>
</span>Ellen Hopkins touched on so many subjects in this novel that included
eating disorders, sexual discovery, and racism.<span>
</span>These are all tough topics to broach in a novel, but Hopkins did it
perfectly.<span> </span>I was touched by each of
these stories.<span> </span>Cara, Kendra, Sean, and
Andre all had an important story to tell that resulted in an important life
lesson for each of them.<span> </span>I think we all
learn by making mistakes, and that is the only way that these four could learn
as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is another novel written in verse by Hopkins.<span> </span>She tells an amazing, detailed story filled
with depth in such few words.<span> </span>This isn’t
poetry in the typical sense, but rather a different way to tell a story.<span> </span>The story has as much detail as any other
novel, but doesn’t have as many words, and is told in a way that just makes you
connect better with each character.<span>
</span>Emotionally, Hopkins’ books will leave you raw and open.<span> </span>Every time I read one I am thinking about
them for weeks, even months to come.<span>
</span>They are stories that I will never forget.<span> </span>I’m grateful for the opportunity to have
these novels available to read, and I think they are beneficial to more than
just the teen community of readers.<span>
</span>Another fantastic job by Ellen Hopkins!</span></div>LillyReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430456352796096156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236750037923451820.post-59862187493655043272012-06-03T18:27:00.003-05:002012-06-03T18:27:56.179-05:00RAK June!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

is on a plane on her way home to Montclair, New Jersey, from a mental
hospital. She is about to kill herself. Just before she can swallow a
lethal dose of pills, the plane hits turbulence and everything goes
black. Jane wakes up amidst piles of wreckage and charred bodies on a
snowy mountaintop. There is only one other survivor: a boy named Paul,

and Paul scale icy slopes and huddle together for warmth at night,

She always posts the latest giveaways/free samples, as well as other money saving tips/deals. I like her recipes too. I've tried a few of them, and I haven't found one I don't like! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span><span>3. <a href="http://www.pocketyourdollars.com/">Pocket Your Dollars</a>. I know, this is another money saving blog. It helps me out with my shopping lists every week because she tailors deals for my area! It's really helpful knowing what is on sale where, and what coupons would work to make even better deals. I am in no way a steady couponer, but when it comes to certain things I definitely use coupons.</span></span></span></div>

I'm including it because I have a great time on Twitter, whether book related or not. It's a great place to talk to friends near and far, and connect with some awesome people who I would not have otherwise known!</span></span></span></div>

I LOVE the organizing ideas that she comes up with! I hope that I can soon put many of them into practice. I really love anything on Pinterest, but this is one that I could think of that I really enjoy and hope to accomplish someday. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Felicity is a total romantic. That's why she follows her heart—<em>not</em>
the rules—in her job as a cupid. But when Felicity turns her matchmaking magic
on her best friend, Andy, it's Andy who breaks their golden rule: friends
always come first. Andy is so wrapped up in her new guy that she's ditching
everyone else. How can Felicity stop her BFF from letting a BF come between
them? </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Meanwhile, Felicity decides to get over her crush on Derek by setting him up
with someone else—but in her impulsive haste, she accidentally matches him with
the whole school, and now <em>everyone</em> is in love with him. The entire
student body is headed toward heartbreak, just weeks before prom. Does Felicity
have what it takes to make everyone's heart happy…including her own?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Oh to be Felicity and have to make matches in high school of
your friends and people you don’t know.<span>
</span>Could you imagine that?<span> </span>I would
make terrible love matches!<span> </span>I am often
surprised with the friends of mine that end up together.<span> </span>They seem like such odd couplings that make
each other so happy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, this is book number two in the <i>Stupid Cupid</i> series by Rhonda Stapleton.<span> </span>Book number one is titled, as you may have
guessed, <i>Stupid Cupid</i>.<span> </span>Felicity is a match-maker.<span> </span>She works as a cupid to match up people in
her high school that she thinks would be great couples.<span> </span>She ends up making some major mistakes in
this book.<span> </span>The most critical mistake?
Setting up Derek with the entire school, rather than setting him up with one
person.<span> </span>Oops. How is Felicity going to
fix this?<span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I love this series! It’s such a cute little love story.<span> </span>Felicity so badly wants to find love herself
that she is like randomly setting up people at school.<span> </span>I don’t think she puts as much thought into
it as she should, but fixing up Derek with the whole school had to be the worst
mistake in the eyes of her employer.<span> </span>As
for Felicity, this mistake could work out.<span>
</span>Derek and Felicity are spending a ton of time together because she is
one of the few people that aren’t affected by the cupid e-mail.<span> </span>They get to know each other, but what is
going to happen when this e-mail wares off?<span>
</span>I guess you’ll have to read it and find out! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I have book #3 sitting on my shelf waiting patiently for me
to read.<span> </span>Honestly, I don’t know why
these weren’t on my TBR list before winning them in a contest.<span> </span>They are just adorable reads that make me
smile.<span> </span>I want Felicity to be happy, but
her teenage mistakes make laugh and remember my own time as a teenager (which
wasn’t very long ago!).<span> </span>So, pick up book
number one in this series, <i>Stupid Cupid</i>,
from the library, a friend or wherever and take a chance at it! You might enjoy
the teenage cuteness and humor.</span></div>LillyReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430456352796096156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236750037923451820.post-8390355837062311722012-05-19T11:30:00.000-05:002012-05-19T11:30:02.492-05:00Review: Girl Steals Guy by Kelly Green<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Interesting question. One that probably doesn't have the answer you're thinking. From what I've seen, most book bloggers started one after roaming around and seeing so many other book blogs online. I wasn't like that. I had decided to take part in the 2011 Goodreads Challenge for the number of books I could read in a year. I was aiming for 75 books that year (to start with). </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
When I decided to attempt this, I realized I wanted a place that I could keep a record of the books I read. I wanted to be able to look back at the books I read and recall some of the details I had forgotten. I even remember whether or not I liked a book, and why. Sometimes, I don't remember every single book I've ever read. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, that is how this blog was born.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
From there, I started to peruse the internet and found a TON of other book blogs. I had some favorites in the beginning that I learned from, and I'm always finding new favorites along the way. I discovered Twitter and how much fun it can actually be interacting with all of these people who love books as much as I do. I didn't have that before. I'm the only reader in my group of friends, and in the family. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
In the beginning, I got made fun of a lot. I was told I wouldn't make it. That this book blog would fail. I was also made fun of when I switched to reviewing mostly YA books on this blog. I find them all to be so amazing. They are more than I ever could have imagined they would be.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
As for this blog, it isn't very big. I don't have a ton of followers. I don't get a million books for review, but I enjoy what I do. I enjoy picking my own schedule of what to read. I like not having the pressure of having to review a ton of books by a certain date. This is just my fun little place to get away and enjoy the time I get to talk about the books I enjoy.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Reed's boyfriend, Thomas Pearson -- the popular, easygoing, irresistibly
handsome and charismatic boy she fell in love with -- is dead. No one knows how
it happened, and everyone is after the truth. Or are they? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Life at Easton Academy begins to feel very different. Taylor is acting
like the poster child for Prozac, Kiran is spiking her cornflakes, Noelle is
being kind of...nice, and Arianna keeps floating along as if nothing has

<span style="font-size: small;">Thanksgiving break arrives and Reed and Josh find themselves alone on
campus. They are forced to confront the feelings they've been hiding. Those
feelings combined with an empty campus result in the hottest hookup Reed could
possibly imagine. But when Reed breaks the news about Josh to the Billings
Girls, there's no fun game of tell-all. Instead, Josh begins to look like
suspect No. 1 in the murder of Thomas Pearson. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The perfect life Reed has constructed as a Billings Girl begins to
crumble. And as everyone becomes more convinced of Josh's guilt, Reed's private

<span style="font-size: small;">This
is number three in the Private series, and it just keeps getting better and
better! Kate Brian’s writing reminds me a lot of Sara Shepard.<span> </span>They both have series that are so much fun to
just pick up and breeze right through.<span>
</span>This book is mysterious and suspenseful.<span>
</span>I couldn’t help but try to figure out who it is that killed Thomas
Pearson, Reed’s boyfriend.<span> </span>Reed is a
young girl who is still trying to figure out her way around the school
campus.<span> </span>She is a Billings Girl, but
finds that they can still be backstabbing and corruptive.<span> </span>The Billing Girls are out to protect
themselves, but as Reed finds out they are trying to protect her too.<span> </span>She finally has a place that she fits in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Unfortunately,
all her girls are leaving for Thanksgiving Break and she gets to hang out with
Josh.<span> </span>Josh is the super-cute boy that
Reed is falling for, but doesn’t want to admit it (especially so soon after
Thomas has gone missing and been found dead).<span>
</span>Those feelings just fester as time goes on and grow into more than she
can handle.<span> </span>Weird things start happening
around her.<span> </span>Reed isn’t sure about who
she can trust and who she can’t.<span> </span>She
feels lost and is just trying to find her way at this school.<span> </span>Reed makes some crazy decisions that lead to
very scary situations.<span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This
book was another good one in the series.<span>
</span>Personally, I think it was the best one yet! I’m so glad I was able to
pick up most of the series from Half-Price Books at an amazing price.<span> </span>I can’t get enough.<span> </span>These books are an easy read and a great way
to spend your time.<span> </span>They would be great
mysterious summer beach reads too (if there was a beach and summer anywhere
near me).<span> </span>I hold to the same opinion I
had since the first book.<span> </span>If you like
Sara Shepard, you will like this series by Kate Brian.<span> </span>Take a chance on it because I’m sure you will
enjoy them!</span></div>

<span id="freeText18318009644231145947"><em>Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. . .</em><br /><br />You always want what you can’t have.<br /><br />Megan
never meant to hurt her best friend Anna. She made a mistake, and she’s
spent all year trying to regain Anna’s trust. So when Anna invites her
to spend the summer on her uncle’s farm, Megan is excited…and relieved.
The past is finally behind them.<br /><br />On the farm, Anna quickly falls
for Jordan, a rugged summer-hand. Megan and Jordan have their own spark,
but Megan’s betrayed Anna once before and she’s not about to do it
again.<br /><br />Still, the more time that Megan and Jordan spend together,
the harder it is to deny their chemistry. But Anna doesn’t like to be
ignored—and she doesn’t forgive and forget. What started out as the
perfect summer is about to take a very dark turn….</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by <a href="http://thebrokeandthebookish.blogspot.com/">The Broke and the Bookish</a>. This week the topic is...</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>FREEBIE!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>So, the original topic this week was the top ten authors you'd like to see on a reality show, and which show. Well, I certainly couldn't think of a top ten for this one. Then, I checked back again on the topic and saw that it could be a freebie week. I decided that my top ten is going to be a pretty simple one. I've decided to tell my awesome readers about my top ten favorite authors! Here they are (in no particular order):</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>1. Jodi Picoult. I have read every one of her books so far. I know, she isn't (or hasn't been) a YA author, but her books are all so good! I'm really excited for her first YA novel coming out this summer, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Between-Lines-Jodi-Picoult/dp/1451635753/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336952704&sr=1-4">Between the Lines</a>. You should seriously check her out, she's awesome.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>2. Sara Shepard. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Little-Liars-Box-Set/dp/0061801313/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336952779&sr=1-2">Pretty Little Liars</a> series is such a fun and easy read. They are quick ones that are sure to keep you interested. The show is really great too! I hate that I don't have cable right now. I'm always a day behind watching it with everyone else. I have to avoid talking to anyone that I know watches it until I can see it.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>3. Veronica Roth. I've only read the first in the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Divergent-Trilogy-Veronica-Roth/dp/0062024035/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336952819&sr=1-1">Divergent</a> trilogy, but the second in the series is patiently waiting on my bookshelf! Well, maybe not so patiently. Anyway, I've only read one of her books, but she is a great author. She can tell a story that just hooks you in from the very beginning. I would love to see this trilogy made into a movie.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>4. Charlaine Harris. Again, she is definitely not a YA author, but two words: SOOKIE STACKHOUSE.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>5. Ellen Hopkins. I can't get enough of her books. I only have one left to read. If you haven't read anything by her, I suggest you start with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crank-Ellen-Hopkins/dp/1416995137/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336953103&sr=1-1">CRANK</a>.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>6. Lauren Oliver. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Before-I-Fall-Lauren-Oliver/dp/0061726818/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336953204&sr=1-1">Before I Fall</a> was the best audiobook I have ever listened to. If you haven't tried an audiobook, listen to this one. It will make you laugh and cry all at once.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>7. Megan McCafferty. Two words: JESSICA DARLING. Read the series and die laughing!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>8. Elizabeth Scott. I haven't met a book I haven't thoroughly enjoyed from her. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>9. Myra McEntire. I've only read the first book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hourglass-Myra-McEntire/dp/1606843842/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336953401&sr=1-1">HOURGLASS</a>, but the second will be quickly read on my Kindle!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>10. Tahereh Mafi. This girl...she's amazing. Beside loving her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shatter-Me-Tahereh-Mafi/dp/0062085484/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336953500&sr=1-1">SHATTER ME</a>, I love her personality! I can't wait for the opportunity to meet her in person. I'm so proud of myself for being able to pronounce her name the right way. Anyway, READ THE BOOK! If you don't love it, I get it, but at least you will have tried!</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">An invisible, uncrossable physical barrier encloses the
United States. The Line is the part of the border that lopped off part of the
country, dooming the inhabitants to an unknown fate when the enemy used a
banned weapon. It's said that bizarre creatures and super humans live on the
other side, in Away. Nobody except tough old Ms. Moore would ever live next to
the Line.<br /><br />
Nobody but Rachel and her mother, who went to live there after Rachel's dad
died in the last war. It's a safe, quiet life. Until Rachel finds a mysterious
recorded message that can only have come from Away. The voice is asking for
help.</span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />
Who sent the message? Why is her mother so protective? And to what lengths is
Rachel willing to go in order to do what she thinks is right?</span>

<span style="font-size: small;">Imagine the United States enclosed in an invisible, physical
barrier that no one can cross.<span> </span>The Line
is basically the unknown.<span> </span>No one really
knows what lies beyond the Line, if anything.<span>
</span>It is suspected that there are super creatures and humans with special
abilities, but no one knows because no one is allowed to go across.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Ms. Moore lives near the Line, and Rachel and her mother
have moved in with Ms. Moore.<span> </span>They now
live on the Line too.<span> </span><span> </span>Rachel has been curious about the Line and
about life before this invisible barrier.<span>
</span>Then, one day while out in the sun reading a book she finds a recorded
tape asking for help.<span> </span>She doesn’t
understand everything the voice says, but she understood enough to know that
the person needs medicine and help in general.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Rachel’s Mom is very protective and not at all happy to find
out about any of what’s going on.<span> </span>The
plan that Ms. Moore, Rachel, and her mother come up with is an interesting one
that was unexpected.<span> </span>The three of them

<span style="font-size: small;">This was a thrilling novel full of twists and turns.<span> </span>I was constantly worried for Rachel and the
stupid decisions she seemed to be making, but that was due to her naivety.<span> </span>Yet, those decisions were so
exhilarating!<span> </span>You learn a lot about this
terrifying world they live in from the lessons Rachel receives from her mother.<span> </span>The government is in total control over every
aspect of each citizen’s life.<span> </span>You also
learn more about Ms. Moore, her life, and what kind of woman she can be.<span> </span>The characters grew in the novel, and there
is definitely more room for growth in the future.<span> </span>The ending was thrilling and I can’t wait to
pick up the next book in this series.<span> </span>A
great dystopian novel!</span></div>LillyReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430456352796096156noreply@blogger.com0
