Time Between Us


Anna's life is thoroughly normal until she meets Bennett, how is thrilling and different from the other boys at her school. But never, not even in her wildest dreams, could she guess how different he really is. I thought Time Between Us was a fun light read. It had its cliche moments, but they worked. I would recommend this book to people who like romance books.

Break My Heart 1,000 Times


Veronica lives in a world where ghosts, or images, are commonplace and fill up the streets and schools, as well as houses. So when Veronica finds a new ghost of a boy in her bathroom, she doesn't think anything of it. But for her, this ghost's presence means so much more, and signifies the beginning of a murder plot that threatens Veronica's life. 

Break My Heart 1,000 Times is a thoughtful, artfully futuristic thriller which I would highly recommend, though its not for the feint of heart. Even I, who doesn't frighten easily, started looking over my shoulder toward the end of this book.

Anything But Ordinary


Anything But Ordinary is a fast-paced, well written, story of a girl who wakes up 5 years after a terrible accident, only to find out she has been in a coma and is now 22. And while she was asleep, the rest of the world has moved on. But slowly she begins to realize that something is different with her brain this time around, and the consequences of that will shake her life to the core. I enjoyed this book immensely, and would definitely recommend it.

Miranda has to readjust to her old life, but finds it difficult, especially with Noah, her boyfriend that she doesn't remember. Soon Miranda discovers an evil secret, the real reason behind everything.

Lucky Fools

In LuckyFools, David Ellison is going through a pretty tough high school senior year, dealing with trying to keep a relationship together, auditioning for Julliard (a performing arts college), and more problems. Life is pretty tough and things get hard for David.

Since David goes to Oak Fields Prep most kids go to Stanford University, but instead David chooses to go Julliard to fulfill his dream of acting. But his Dad just doesn’t happen to think “acting” is the best job out there.

Then David has to deal with how he feels for his girlfriend and how he feels with the new girl, and to make things worse he has a shoe to do, WITH the new girl. Meaning new girl spends more time with David than his girlfriend. 

All this is happening and David has to audition for Julliard (which involves four long monologues), plus write an essay and prepare for a Play, that he is the star of.

The main reason why I picked this book to read is because David and I share the same thing, wanting to go to Julliard for acting (and for me singing too). Plus having people around us thinking that this is not the best job out there. I wanted to find out how David coped with it and how it turned out for him. And if you want to know read the Book.

If I could recommend this book to anyone I would recommend it to people who have a dream that not everyone agrees with. This book shows that you have to work really, really, really hard to show everyone you can make, but if you don’t you’ll get over it. 

I love this book and I hope you buy it, borrow it, or whatever you do to get your hands on this book and read it.
