In My Mailbox (15)

I have not had a a In My Mailbox in like forever. I did a few books when I was gone from the blogging world but not very many. This week was one of my better weeks in a while.



Thanks Kristi (the Story Siren) for In My Mailbox idea



Ex-Mas by Kate Brian

Yeah I Got this I am so excited to read this.



Perfect Mistake By Kate Brian

I loved Privilege but haven't read Beautiful Disaster yet but I still bought this anyways.



Survival Of The Fiercest: A Sloane Sisters Novel by Anna Carey

I won this. Which was the first contest I have entered in two months and I won. I own Sloane sister and have not yet read that either but I still entered the contest.



Beatiful Creatures By Kami Garcia and Margeret Stohl

Barnes and Noble has this in stock and just had to get when I saw it. I was going to order it online (where it is cheaper) but I decided I didn't want to wait and just got it.

Sorry there is no pictures or descriptions.

The Hollow by Jessica Verday

When Abbey's best friend, Kristen, vanishes at the bridge near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, everyone else is all too quick to accept that Kristen is dead?and rumors fly that her death was no accident. Abbey goes through the motions of mourning her best friend, but privately, she refuses to believe that Kristen is really gone. Then she meets Caspian, the gorgeous and mysterious boy who shows up out of nowhere at Kristen's funeral, and keeps reappearing in Abbey's life. Caspian clearly has secrets of his own, but he's the only person who makes Abbey feel normal again...but also special.
Just when Abbey starts to feel that she might survive all this, she learns a secret that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her best friend. How could Kristen have kept silent about so much? And could this secret have led to her death? As Abbey struggles to understand Kristen's betrayal, she uncovers a frightening truth that nearly unravels her—one that will challenge her emerging love for Caspian, as well as her own sanity.

Review:The Hollow was pretty good. I loved the characters and the plot and the writing had a lot of details.

The plot was interesting it had lots of turns and you were always learning something new. I didn't really like how the book ended it ended kinda weird and abrupt to me.

The character. Abbey I thought grew all through the story like learning about Kristen took a toll on her and made her kinda crazy and she was very sheltered and it annoyed me how she was always at the cemetary.Caspian sounded okay he didn't blow me away he sounded kinda weird. The other characters were okay and not that good.

Overall the book was okay not the best but wasn't horrible.

Sorry again this is kinda a bad review.

Viola In Reel Life by Adriana Trigiani

I'm marooned.
Abandoned.
Left to rot in boarding school . . .
Viola doesn't want to go to boarding school, but somehow she ends up at an all-girls school in South Bend, Indiana, far, far away from her home in Brooklyn, New York. Now Viola is stuck for a whole year in the sherbet-colored sweater capital of the world.
Ick.
There's no way Viola's going to survive the year—especially since she has to replace her best friend Andrew with three new roommates who, disturbingly, actually seem to like it there. She resorts to viewing the world (and hiding) behind the lens of her video camera.
Boarding school, though, and her roommates and even the Midwest are nothing like she thought they would be, and soon Viola realizes she may be in for the most incredible year of her life.
But first she has to put the camera down and let the world in.

I thought this book was really cute. It was very relatable. The characters were funy and good.

I liked that Viola liked filming and movies which not really books focus on so the book was different but was still familar with the boarding school theme. The plot started out kinda boring and got a little batter as it went on and the ending was kinda boring and a little dry and not the best.

The charters were great and relatable. Viola, she has a passion which many people do. And her roomates were great and all someting relatable to them like one her dad was in wheel chair and shse has really cute older brothers. Another gives boy advice.Her botfriend sounded okay he did seem to give a lot of gifts and kisses. Overall the charaters were good.

Braless In Wonderland by Debbie Reed Fischer

If you’re reading this and expecting a tale of some top model who wins the heart of a rock star, adopts a third world baby, launches her own clothing line, winds up on the cover of Us Weekly’s Who’s Hot issue, and gets her own reality show (or at least, her own E! True Hollywood Story), then I better warn you . . . That’s not exactly what happened to me
Allee Rosen is a lot of things: high school senior, overachiever, feminist, brainiac. The one thing she’s not is super model material. She leaves that to pretty people like her little sister (a.k.a. “The Fluff”). That’s why it’s a complete shock when Allee, not her sister, is the one spotted by modeling scouts at the mall and signed by a major modeling agency in Miami.

I thought this okay it wasn't the best but it was not my favorite book.

I enjoyed the characters. I thought Allee was cute and fun and someone I would want to be friends with. Actually all of the girls were good like a girl that you thought was all nice until you get to know her and she really is evil, and the girls that really are nice.

The plot was okay but it wasn't the best it could have been. I think the characters were thought out but the plot wasn't quite as good.

The Lost Summer by Kathyrn Williams

For the past nine years, seventeen year-old Helena Waite has come to summer camp at Southpoint. Each July, the camp and its familiar routines, landmarks, and people have welcomed her back as a Southpoint sister. This year, however, she is returning not as a camper, but as a counselor. The only downside? Her best friend, Katie Bell, is still a camper.
All too quickly, Helena discovers that the innocent world of campfires, sing-alongs, and field days have been pushed aside for late night pranks on the boys' camp and stolen kisses in the hay loft. As she struggles to define herself, Helena begins to lose sight of what made camp special and the friendships that have sustained her for so many years. When Ransome, her longtime crush, becomes a romantic reality, things get even more confusing. It will take a life-threatening accident to show her what she's lost... and found.
Told with honesty and heart, Kathryn Williams' second novel tackles the timeless theme of growing up against the backdrop of summer camp--a place where innocence is safely guarded and sometimes lost .

I loved this book. The charaters were perfect and the plot was really good.

Helena was really good as a main character and don't have any complaints and Katie Bell (is this a name of a character in Harry Potter?) was a good best friend even though you don't get to know her that much and she gets in a fight with Helena.

I thought the writing was very good and had a lot details and you felt like you could understand what was happening.

The one thing I did not like was the ending I felt like it just stopped and you didn't get much information. I wanted to know what happened next but the book like stopped and ended at a really weird place.

Overall it was really good but the ending could have used some more work

Waiting On Wednesday (9)

This week's pick .....................Catwalk: Strike A Pose

The competition heats up at Fashion International High School. Bring it!Sashay, parlay! The design competition at Fashion International High School heats up as each design house struggles to produce its first—and hopefully award-winning—line. Tensions are cropping up in the House of Pashmina, and it’s not clear whether Pashmina and her best friends will weather the runway. They’d better scramble if they want to win a real shot at a fashion career and an all-expenses-paid trip to Florence!

I have seen that a few bloggers have received this and it is released next week. I own the first book Catwalk but have not had a chance to read it yet. So I can't wait to read this series. And maybe if I have this I will finally read catwalk. And these bothe sound really good.
