The Juliet Club

The Juliet Club by Suzanne Harper

Kate Sanderson inherited her good sense from her mother, a disciplined law professer, and her admiration for Bard from her father, a passionate Shakespeare scholar.

But when she got dumped, for "practically perfect" Ashley Lawson, and she promised herself to never fall in love again.

Then she was accepted to a summer Shakespeare symposium in Verona, Italy, Kate sees that this is the perfect way to get over her heartbreak finally. She'll lose herself in the sights, literature, and all the pasta and gelato.

But can even logical Kate resit the urge for romance in the beautiful villa in the city where star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet met and died for each other? Especially when one of the Shakespeare scholars----particularly Giacomo, with his tousled brown hair, expressive brown eyes, and charming ways, break her protective shell?

I liked this book, but I didn't like the ending that much, it just kind of left you off, instead of telling you what happens, it's intresting how Silvia and Benno played the prank on Kate and Giacomo, and it actually worked. I always wanted to go to Italy, especially to see all the sights and eat pasta and gelato, they both sound really good :).

Peak by Roland Smith

Peak by Roland Smith

When Peak was arrested for scaling a skyscraper, he has two choices:

1. Go to Juvie (Juvenile Detention)

2. Live with his long-lost father, who runs a climbing company

But Peak quickly realizes that his father's only reason of letting him live with him is that he wants Peak to be the youngest person to reach the Everest summit.

Being a climber, Everest is too good of a deal to turn down and is a challenge of a lifetime, but it's also a deal that could cost him his life.

I actually read this a LOOOONGGG time ago, like last May, but never got the time to finish this post, so here it is. Honestly, I found this book somewhat boring/dull, even though it was an action-adventure.

How To Be Popular

How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot

Who wants to be popular?
Everyone does. Well atleast Steph Laundry does. But after a certain, Super Big Cherry Big Gulp (a type of cherry soda apparently) catastrophe in the 6th grade, after 5 years of embarrassment and shunning, her chances of being popular is close to zero, zip, none. Not only that, her only friends are a scrapbooking country girl, Becca (not that scrapbooking is bad), and her best friend Jason, who had a passion for astromony, who had turned hot before her eyes, but still. But with her secret weapon, an old book called "How To Be Popular" she is determined to make all her classmates realize that she is not the idiot who they joke about(apparently they have a joke that goes like this "oh don't pull a Steph Laundry" or "Stop being such a Steph") and is a girl who is meant to be the queen of the school.

I honestly thought that this book was pretty boring, and not that intresting, I mean the plot is okay, but it doesn't pull you foward, but it was intresting. I liked how they had "pages" from the book, and a little "side story" to it about her grandpa and his new bride Kitty. Hmm, for some reason I've been reading alot of Meg Cabot books recently...I dunno. Maybe I should read some other book now...

Into The Forest Of The Night

Into The Forest Of The Night...

Tiger Tiger! Burning Bright!
In the forest of the night!

Risika is a vampire. She was once Rachel, who was changed by Ather, a another vampire, 300 years ago. She died 300 years ago.

She is now at the top of the food chain, even above humans, nothing can stop her...except Aubrey, a vampire who is not only stronger, but is feared by many humans(who know of vampires existence, and vampires) he once hurt her with his blade, and now she is out for revenge over all the pain he caused, from the death of her brother Alexander, to the death of 'her' tiger.

I liked this book, it was a quick read and i admit is pretty much a great book for people around 13 or so, hmm i think it's amazing how Amelia Atwater-Rhodes wrote this book at age 13! It is really detailed and fills in on the reader about vampires and her history, i liked how there were "flashbacks" in the book, instead of just stating what happened in Risika's past.

The Clique

The Clique by Lisa Harrison



Meet The Clique of OCDS:



Massie: the leader of the clique, with her glossy brunette bob and laser whitened smile, she is the no doubt leader of The Clique and the rest of the social scene at OCDS, an exclusive private girls' school in Westchester, New York.

Dylan: The 2nd in command, who divides her time sucking up to Massie and sucking on Atkins Diet Shakes.

Alicia: Sneaky and beautiful. She floats easily under adult radar and she seems to be "sweet" but really not one bit. She would like to take Massie's place one day. Maybe.

Kristen: She's smart, hardworking, and gorgerous, except she can reduce you to tears with insults faster then you can say "my haircut isn't ugly!"

Then meet Claire: the new girl from Floridain her Keds and 2-year old Gap overalls, who is definately not clique matierial. But bad for her, Claire's family is staying in the guesthouse on Massie's huge estate while they search for a new home. Claire's clique dreams don't look like they will come true anytime soon, but with a little luck and plenty of scheming, Claim might, just might, be able to join the prejudice clique.

I honestly didn't really like this book, I mean, technically, not all rich girls are snobby, stuck-up, think "their all that". I thought the characters were a little un-believeable, by the way they acted, and honestly the way they "IM"ed was not how kids usually IM. I did not like any of the characters except Claire, because, obviouly she is the "nice" one of the book, so yeah, I didn't like this book, so deal with it...:p

Airhead

Meet Nikki Howard. The New "it" girl, the teen supermodel, every girl's idol. on the front page
magzines, is every entertainment show and is papparazzied (papparazzi? is that how you spell it?). She has an on/off boyfriend, along with many crushes.

But what if Em's brain was transplanted into Nikki's body? Will Em survive the life of a model?
Will she convince Chris that not all models are airheads? Will she be Nikki Howard or be herself?
TO FIND OUT READ AIR HEAD BY MEG CABOT!


I honestly thought this book was a little creepy, not gory or bloody or horror creepy, but the brain transfer thing, kinda eerie....This book was intresting how it showed that modeling is not what it looks like and it's not all fun and games, along with being a celeb. It's also intresting how it's in a tomboy's view as a model, not a girly girl. hehehehe I tried doing the kind of review that is a "to find out read this book" review, i haven't did this kind of review in a long time :D

Maggie Bean Stays Afloat

Maggie Bean Stays Afloat by Tricia Rayburn

Maggie Bean is now no longer the girl who hides in her room and chows down on chocolate at night.

But, after 6 long months of being on Pound Patrollers (Weight Watchers? is it like that?) the scale now is at 146, and now she's new and improved and is trying hard to convince Peter that she is the girl for him. But not only that, she has a busy summer ahead of her, teaching at a summer camp.

This was a good book, despite how it was about weight-loss and a girl fitting in. Hehe, I kinda found out this was the 2nd book after I finished it so.......

Finding out the hard way that in art class "life drawing" means "naked people"


I admit this was pretty mature compared to the first book All American Girl, and I honestly liked the first book better....this one was actually really boring compared to the other book, and other Meg Cabot books, such as All American Girl, Princess Diaries, Teen Idol, etc. Even though I already mentioned this, but this is a MATURE book, not meant for people who can't handle mature stuff, but not as bad as Breaking Dawn...you know the Bella part....at Esme Island....(?is it called Esme Island? I don't remeber....)
