Book Reviews/Reccomendations
Here are a few of my favorite books. I reviewed 'em on Chapters.ca and now I'm coping and pasting those reviews here for you guys. Some are new books, some are older books.
But First!
***!!!WARNING!!! REVIEWS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!***
JUDE - Kate Morgenroth
This is the story about what happens when you love someone so much that you'd take the blame for something you didn't do just to help that person. In Jude's case it means going to jail for 5 years to help the mother that he's only known for a little more than a year. What happens before, during and after Jude's time in prison will have you reaching out, wishing you could help him.
NINETEEN MINUTES - Jodi Picoult
Wow. This book is heartbreaking from the start, and, as we learn more about Peter's life, and about Josie, Alex, Patrick, Lacy, and the other characters, all facing the same horrible truth: One day Peter went and killed 10 people at his high school...or did he?
BAIT - Alex Sanchez
Is it your fault? Did you do something - anything - to make it happen? Or, maybe, just maybe, was it not your fault? Could you have done anything to prevent it? These are questions going through Diego's head as he wonder's why his stepfather raped him countless times as a child. This story gives you a step in Diego's thoughts as he struggles to accept himself.
BOTTLED UP - Jaye Murray
He smokes. He drinks. He does drugs. Pip lives his life in constant fear of his abusive father. So when his principal gives him the ultimatum: either attend classes and get himself cleaned up, or he'll call Pip's father. Pip chooses the former, and finds himself struggling to stay true to his word.
ALONG FOR THE RIDE - Sarah Dessen
Another of Sarah Dessen's works of magic. She expertly created the lives of her characters, made them real and honest, and added many tear-jerker moments in her newest novel, Along for the Ride.
OUT OF THE POCKET - Bill Koingsberg
I loved this book. The main character was believable and real. You couldn't help but feel for Bobby as he comes to terms with just who he is and who he wants to be.
STRAY - Rachel Vincent
I am loving this cool new series that I've just recently discovered. Very UF/Paranormal Romance but with a cool unique twist. Forget werewolves, this heroine is a werecat, and she will prove just how fierce she can be when she ends up catnapped with her cousin Abby. She'll stop at nothing to escape, but when she does, she'll have to face the one person she's most afraid of: the man she's in love with.
They sound good, right? They are!
And, now, because it's past my bedtime and this bookworm is sleepy, I will leave you, my probably-not-so-faithful readers.
