Synopsis: "Ruby, where is your mother?" Ruby knows that the game is up. For the past few months, she's been on her own in the yellow house, managing somehow, knowing that her mother will probably never return.That's how she comes to live with Cora, the sister she hasn't seen in ten years, and Cora's husband Jamie, whose down-to-earth demeanor makes it hard for Ruby to believe he founded the most popular networking Web site around. A luxurious house, fancy private school, a new wardrobe, the promise of college and a future—it's a dream come true. So why is Ruby such a reluctant Cinderella, wary and defensive? And why is Nate, the genial boy next door with some secrets of his own, unable to accept the help that Ruby is just learning to give

It was so adorable, and sweet. It was one of those stories you couldnt help but fall in love with. I really loved how Ruby was so independent, yet when she tried to help someone she had to realize she had to give some to get some. I loved that! And also how angry everyone would get when she screwed up MAJORLY! Granted I understand how Ruby feels about everything, but I also love it how after she has some realizations about just everything she changes for the better. GOTTA LOVE THAT STUFF! Anyway, I loved how sad it was with what happened between her and her sister, yet I found Nate an adorable sweet heart! No wonder she continued to try and help him! Another great book by Sarah Dessen.

Someone Like You By Sarah Dessen

Synopsis: Halley has always followed in the wake of her best friend, Scarlett. But when Scarlett learns that her boyfriend has been killed in a motorcycle accident, and that she's carrying his baby, she's devastated. For the first time ever, Scarlett really needs Halley. Though their friendship may be tested by the strain, like a true friendship, it will endure.


This book was sad. As in to sad. I sorta wish I hadnt read it. It was one of those books were you love it but you regret ever opening it. Yes, it also made me angry. But that was Macom's fault. It was sad because of everything Scarlett went through. Im sorry but that was just devestating. It broke my heart. I could only think of girls out there who actually have to go through that. This book was amazing thought. Yes, there were dozens of people I was dying to punch. Sadly that couldnt happen. Oh well. I still loved it.

Synopsis: Partnered in biology with new student Patch, 16-year-old Nora Gray starts seeing things she cannot explain. At first she's both drawn and repelled by her lab partner, but when she sees V-shaped scars on his back, Nora learns Patch is fighting an ancient battle between the fallen and the immortal.


Oo I loved it! It totally fed my hunger for fallen angels! They totally seem to be the new obsession! *boots vampires out the window* Patch! Loved him! I loved how..... well I cant really say that. Now can I? Anyway, this book was great. I fell in love with Nora and Patches story. However I was DYING to punch Vee in the face most of the story. Vee really annoyed me. She was really selfish. Anyway, I even wrote an essay on this book . Thats how much I loved it. Twilight lovers, go read it. The plot line is familiar.

The Espressologist By Kristina Springer (+Contest!)

The Espressologist By Kristina Springer

Synopsis: Whats your drink of choice? Is it a small pumpkin spice latte? Then you're lots of fun and a bit sassy. Or a medium americano? You must prefer simplicity in life. Or perhaps its a small decaf soy sugar free hazelnut caffe latte? Some might call you a yuppie. Seventeen year old Jane Turner has this theory that you can tell a lot about a person by their regular coffee drink. She scribbles it all dwon in a notebook and calls it espressology. So its not a totally crazy idea wehn Jane starts hooking up some of her friends based on their drink orders. Like her best friend Em, a medium hot chocolate, and Cam, a toffee nut latte. But when her boss, Derek, gets wind of Janes Espressology, He makes it an in store holiday promotion, promising customers their perfect matches for the price of their favorite coffee. Things are going better than Derek could ever have hoped, so why is Jane so freaked out? Does it have anything to do with Em dating Cam? Shes the one who set them up! She should be happy for them right?

I laughed the entire time I read this book. It was incredible! In Kristinas debut novel she brings a whole new outlook to the world known as coffee. Jane is a character so many people can relate to. All of us have been or will be seventeen at some point in our life and even if we havent we already know the ups and downs of being a teen. Let alone a teen with a job! In the novel Jane never planned for things to go as far as they did. To her it was just helping a good guy hook up with a good girl after he and his girlfriend broke up. But a coworker saw her work her magic and wanted an in also. She gets hooked up. But then Janes best friend Em breaks it off with her boyfriend, and she is devestated. Jane has no idea what to do. But hook her up with a boy from her college class. As always one things leads to another and before you know it, it ends in boy drama. But hey no one was planning on it to happen. This book found a way to put a great twist on a overused plot. I definitley loved it. I really hope I get to read more from this author.
