SUITE SCARLETT  by Maureen Johnson
KEEPING THE MOON by Sarah Dessen

Romancing Your Friendship

I would have to say...
Bloody Jack aka Jacky Faber and James (Jaimy) Fletcher

Life as a ship's boy aboard HMS "Dolphin" is a dream come true for Jacky Faber. Gone are the days of scavenging for food and fighting for survival on the streets of eighteenth-century London. Instead, Jacky is becoming a skilled and respected sailor as the crew pursues pirates on the high seas.
There's only one problem: Jacky is a "girl." And she will have to use every bit of her spirit, wit, and courage to keep the crew from discovering her secret. This could be the adventure of her life--if only she doesn't get caught. . . .


I think they are the best friendship-romance couple because she was supposed to be a guy! She had Jaimy thinking, "God this is just nasty." But thats what made it so awesome! As they get older he begins to reject her as a friend because he is afraid of his feelings. He thinks what he feels is unnatural. He doesnt find out until she is sewing a dress and asks him to help her. Through out the rest of the series he stands by her. They struggle so much, but even as lovers they remain friends. *Mostly lovers though ;)*

Hour 12 Meme

1. What are you reading right now?

Keeping The Moon by Sarah Dessen

2. How many books have you read so far?

3 and a half *a lot of halfs*

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?

avoiding sleep

4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?

no

5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?

my family, friends. I just talk. Try to read. You know *shrugs*

6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?

It goes REALLY fast. And its exhausting

7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?

Choose about 5 books max. set aside a few back up books. Drink a TON of caffeine *accidently took a nap*

8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?

I would as a reader choose fewer, shorter books. And as a cheerleader I would set that mostly aside for around 3 o clock my time.

9. Are you getting tired yet?

Yes

10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered?

I found out that it really works out well if you take short breaks every hour. I think that it really helps your brain take a rest and it really helped me finish SUITE SCARLETT which took me forever.
