Synopsis: Jane dreams of being chosen as the freshman member a dominant school clique made up of one girl from each class. When her wish is granted, and she is offered a place in their group, Jane discovers the terrible price of their particular kind of popularity. There is a sinister secret to their power, one that will change Jane forever. Darkly humorous and dead on, this book will leave readers shivering in recognition.

Mwhahaha, fits right in with her horror novel BLISS. Another book obsessed with cats :) One of the most memorable lines in the book for me was "looky looky whose got a cookie!" Haha I loved this story. I almost wish it had a sequel.... It also really showed extreme cliques in High School. Kinda glad High School really isnt like this and that Im a floater *nervous laughter* Lets face it, all of us are scared of something like this happening in our High School. Like stealing popularity? Or going to someones house and chanting "THE SKANK LOVES DICK THE STICK IS A DICK!" To someone while shaking around a stick. Yeah no one wants High School to be that :/ This book got really messed up at some points, meanwhile it could also be really good. Im kinda torn. So you guys choose for yourself.

Synopsis: There's nothing run-of-the-mill about working at Skirt, the preeminent fashion magazine. I'm Kira Parker, total fashion junkie. I thought I had it made when I landed this job. Ha. I mean, don't get me wrong—working at Skirt is amazing. And spending the summer in New York City without my parents? Golden. But now I'm up against Daphne Hughes, daughter of the magazine's owner. What Daphne wants, she gets—all wrapped up in a cute Coach bag. She's already got the guy of my dreams and all the right connections. Now she thinks she'll get the plum position working for the editor in chief without even lifting a diamond-adorned pinky? This catwalk is primed for battle.

Aw.. this was so cute. It really showed that working in fashion isnt as glamorous as we wish :) It had a obvious villain, a cute crush, oh and a mean girl :) This was really a great book. I also picked up a lot of things in this book that reminded me of myself :) Like the main character worked harder at her internship so she could try to get the internship with the editor in chief. She would stay after and do work she wasnt asked to do. It helped her in the long run. Of course a bitter sweet book had a great ending :) Almost like a fairytale ;) I mean granted I doubt most internships are like this but I still loved it. It reminded me of Ugly Betty :) Only teh main character isnt ugly.

Synopsis: All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far... and almost doesn't make it back.
John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge - and over..

This is just... I honestly feel I cant write a review for this book without getting carried away and ruining the book for all of you. This book really connects with the readers. It has so many buried secrets that none of us know till the middle of the book. Its just. I honestly think its been a while since Ive read a novel that TRULY pulled  at my heart strings and made me wonder about life. Books dont try to relate to teens that much. Or if they do they base it off of the media created enviroment we supposedly live in. This book really, truly, got to you. It made you think, and it made you tick. It is an amazing novel, that truly shows us about the difficulties of life outside of what to wear to prom.

Why I Dont.

Written by Ari at 3:40 PM 14 Comments
A lot of bloggers out there decorate their blog with things like countdowns, covers, memes, and follower only contests.

A lot of you may have noticed I do not do those things. Granted I tried to participate in some memes, and I may have posted a cover once or twice. But that is it.

I try to keep this blog as easy to manage as possible. I frankly dont care about my number of followers based on the number someone else has. I may get upset about the number of people READING but thats back to my whole phobia thing. I dont cause drama here. Simple as that.

I dont try to grab attention to myself, I did when I first started blogging, but that was mostly to inform people that I am here, I am posting reviews!

A lot of people state that there are certain standards a reivew must follow. Or that there are certain things a blogger should not do. Or that there are just SOME things you dont post on your blog!

I say, go die in a hole.

Granted I basically already doing every thing they said, EVEN BEFORE THEY TOLD US TO!

Aside from that (trying to prevent a rant) I just float in the blogosphere, sometimes it can be a bad thing (i feel like no one is there) or it can be a really, really good thing. And it keeps my blog from becoming only widgets, covers, and contests.

I am sorry if I want to see an actual post on your blog, not 5 posts in one day with a cover smacked on it saying "aint it purdy"

Our job is to REVIEW! Im not going to go around telling others to do that, but I will tell you right now only expect posts like these and reviews from me.

I may not be the fastest person when it comes to reviews, and I may not write the BEST reviews, but I am honest, I tell what I think, I dont drone on and on.

I simply write a review, one that will make sure you dont get bored with me.

I dont annoy you with music, or noisy widgets.

I dont make it so my page takes forever to load. I keep it as simple as possible.

And I hope you do to.

Synopsis:Vicks is the wild child whose boyfriend has gone suspiciously quiet since he left for college; Mel is the newcomer desperate to be liked; and Jesse will do anything to avoid a life-altering secret. Each one has her own reason for wanting to get the heck out of their nowheresville town, even just for the weekend. So they climb into Jesse's mom's "borrowed" station wagon and head south. Hearts will be broken, friendships will be tested, and a ridiculously hot stranger could change the course of everything.

3 friends. One Roadtrip. Complete and utter mayhem. What else should we expect from authors Lauren Myracle, E Lockhart, and Sarah Mylnowski? A sweet love story? No with them it is a requirement to write something fun, captivating, and hilarious. Told in all three characters point of views *just so you know I was sitting there trying to figure out who wrote which* Granted there was some romance, but why in the world would it be normal! It has to have an odd twist :) It really helped me decide what NOT to do (no boys) and what TO do (go to pirate hotel) when I take my cross country road trip in 4 years! Thanks for the help guys! Haha :)
