Lovestruck Summer

Lovestruck Summer by Melissa Walker...

Austin music fest

Yay, summer in Austin!

Good food, good times. Fun for everyone!

Okay, living with my sorority-brainwashed cousin, who willingly goes by "Party Penny," is not exactly what I had in mind.

All your favorite bands

But the cute musicians I've met totally make up for it . . . like Sebastian. Swoon.

All ages welcome

So why can't I stop thinking about Penny's friend All-American Russ and his Texas twang??

Saturday & Sunday, from noon to midnight

Don't wait up!

Lovestruck Summer had all the elements. I loved the music intertwined throughout the whole book! It just brought everything together! The setting in Texas was perfect! I loved all the hot spots, and music events with flair. The Characters were perfectly nutty. Priscilla "Quinn" was a total rocker chic- with that stubborn know it all sense. Penny,her cousin, was just girly enough and i loved how she was in a sorority. And Russ, oh Russ, such a cutie southerner-big belt wearing, fantastic abs,-hottie!!! Although, it was the basic storyline of a girl falling for the oh so not right guy... I loved every second of it!!!

Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life.

Instead, it turns out to be her last.

Bitersweet sixteen

Bittersweet sixteen by Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman...

Laura, a scholarship student at an elite high school in New York City, is surrounded by superficial, backstabbing rich girls, all obsessed with having the best Sweet Sixteen party. Despite the differences in lifestyles, she has a solid group of friends, as well as a best friend, Whitney. Everything is running smoothly until the new girl, Sophie, arrives. She is extremely rich, pretty, and fashionable, and wiggles her way right into Laura's group of friends and disrupts the equilibrium of the clique. Before long, everyone is fighting. Laura is the only one who remains true to herself and, with the help of a certain boy, learns about the importance of friendship. Designer names are dropped throughout and the girls are fixated on their weight, capturing some of the issues that teenage girls obsess over in America. But underneath all the fluff and superficiality are lessons on friendship and love

I have to admit, i bought this book on an impulse!! It was only two dollars! 2$!!! And how bad could a pink striped book be?? And it truly wasn't horrible!! Okay okay it was cheesy and totally predictable, but overall an enjoyable fluff read!! There of course isn't any actual story line besides that these two uber-queen bees are fighting over the best possible sweet sixteen!! I did however like Laura- who had awesome parents and knew how to use a sewing machine!And of course the boy that the two Girls are fighting over-laura ends getting to be more than friends with :). The characters were okay-personally they all seemed alike to me! The story line could have been a lot better, but i adored how you got to see the reality of how some 16 year olds really go to all the limits just to be better than the someone else. Although it was totally predictable, an great read for two-dollars!! A good Beach read-if you have nothing else!!

Man oh Man Monday(5)

Hey Guys i hope you like these man oh man Monday's... because i keep doing them... so tell me your thoughts????This week's Leading Man is Adam from if i stay, which i reviewed in an earlier post.
Okay okay i know this is the funniest picture-but i couldn't resist! I could not find what i pictured in my head!

Adam is the Rocker-punk guitar player that everyone knows about, and has a secret crush on! He is the perfect rebel, with a sensitive side!! In if i stay, he loves Mia, to his full capability, and is there for her when she needs him the most! Even though he wears tight pants (EWWWW) i still have a crush on this teddy bear! Make sure to check out If I stay In bookstores now!

So what are your thoughts... do you like Man oh man Monday's????

If i Stay

If i stay by Gayle Forman...

What if you had everything: A gorgeous boyfriend who was madly in love with you? Quirky hip parents who totally got you? A musical talent that could take you anywhere? What if your biggest problem in life was choosing which path to take? Follow your first love--music-- to New York City? Or stay with your boyfriend, friends, and family? What if one day, you went out for a drive... And in an instant everything changed? What if suddenly all the other choices were gone? Except for one--the only one that truly mattered? What would you do?

I had no idea what to expect when i started reading If i stay. i must say, though, if i stay was absolutely brilliant! If i stay is the type of book that you cant help but cry in, but in a life-lessson, makes you feel good by eating chocolate kind of way! I loved Mia's Story-how music and family and friends played a huge role in her life! She can take every memory she has and turn it into a learning experience! The writing was fantastic! I loved how she was a third person looking in on the situation and then every so often going back to her wonderful memories!!! the writing was spectacular- and just when im balling my eyes out the author switches over to a memory that is so happy, you cant help but smile! Every single aspect of this book was so well placed and done perfectly! The characters were very relate able. Mia, the outcast musician in the family, is very quite and is very focused on her cello. While Adam is the Rocker-punk, that gets all the attention. But somehow they connect on a level that is undescribable. Besides the main characters all the sub-characters were amazing and well rounded, i especially enjoyed her grandparents!!! Wonderfully Fantastic!

Author Meetings........

I just wanted to post a quick question on this wonderful Rainy Saturday!!! Have you guys ever met any authors or gone to any author events?? Since i live in Utah, not a lot of Authors come here- i don't know why but they don't! Linda Gerber came-but i could not go because of a dance performance! How lame is that!!! My dream author to meet would be Cecily von ziegesar!! She just amazes me!! But really any of authors of books i read would be great!! Which Authors have you met, and How AMAZING was it??
