Waiting On Wednesday



Deadly Cool by Jemma Halliday
Released: October 11 ,2011

Hartley Grace Featherstone is having a very bad day. First she finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her with the president of the Herbert Hoover High School Chastity Club. Then he's pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And if that weren't enough, now he's depending on Hartley to clear his name. Seriously? Not cool. But as much as Hartley wouldn't mind seeing him squirm, she knows he's innocent, and she's the only one who can help him. Along with her best friend, Sam, and the school's resident Bad Boy, Chase, Hartley starts investigating on her own. But as the dead bodies begin to pile up, the mystery deepens, the suspects multiply, and Hartley begins to fear that she may be the killer's next victim.



This book sounds so good. Murder and mystery some of my favorite kinds of book. So excited

Courage In Patience by Beth Fehlbaum


After six years of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse from her stepfather, 14-year-old Ashley finally finds the courage to reveal the painful details of her experiences with her mother, who refuses to acknowledge the problem and turns her back on her daughter. After confiding in her teacher?the only adult whom Ashley can trust?she is removed from her home and sent to live with her father and his second wife, Beverly, an English teacher. Nurtured by Beverly, an extraordinarily positive influence in her life, Ashley and a summer school class of troubled teens learn to face their fears and discover who they really are.
Courage In Patience is a very touching book about a child going through sexual abuse and just wanting to get away from the abuse.
Ashley the main character is a strong but weak character, she is strong enough to go through the pain of abuse but weak that she cannot endure the pain after all the abuse is done. The other character like her mom and stepdad are just selfish people who really shouldn't be parents. The characters were from a wide range of personalties but made the story complex.
The plot interesting and touching, It got a little confusing when random characters started narrating but mostly it was good. Ashley tells her teacher about the sexual abuse from her stepdad Charlie, and is placed to live with her dad who she has never seen. I didn't really get the plot but could understand the plot and the main message that sexual abuse is dangerous and really messes with you.
Overall the characters are weird but good and the plot is interesting and tells a good story.

A Fieldguide For Heartbreakers by Kristin Tracey



When best friends Dessy and Veronica arrive in Prague for a prestigious writing workshop, their priorities diverge. Dessy, fragile from a recent breakup, has come to mend her broken heart by honing her craft. Veronica has just dumped her boyfriend and plans to blow off the workshop. She’d rather master a different subject—boys. Veronica gets right to work on her “man-wall”—one paper cutout for every hot-dude she meets— and embarks on her mission to cover a wall of their dorm by summer’s end. At times, Dessy thinks her friend might be a genius. At others, Veronica seems more like an agent of chaos.

As if their love lives weren’t complicated enough, soon a homicidal suitemate is bent on killing Veronica and Dessy, and both girls are hiding secrets that could wreck their friendship. Well, no one ever said breaking hearts was a simple craft....



Dessy was a great main character and she added to this really cute Summer read.


I loved this plot I thought it was different because the characters are way different from each other but still great. Also because they were going to a writing camp in Prague which served as a great backdrop for the story. The plot was fast moving and really good. It never really slowed down.


I thought all the characters were really good and all had unique quality's. Some of Dessy and Veronica's love interests and roommates were really different they they just added to the story and made it way better,

Overall I really everything about the book and thought it was different but still a great summer read.

The Karma Club by Jessica Brody


Madison Kasparkova always thought she understood how Karma works. It’s that mysterious, powerful force that brings harmony to the universe. You know—do good things and you will be rewarded, do something bad and Karma will make sure you get what’s coming to you. A sort of cosmic balancing act.


But when Mason Brooks, Maddy’s boyfriend of two years, gets caught tongue-wrestling with Miss Perfect Body Heather Campbell, and absolutely nothing happens to either of them—except that they wind up the hot new couple of Colonial High School, it seems like Karma has officially left Maddy in the lurch. That’s why Maddy and her best friends, Angie and Jade, decide to start the Karma Club—a secret, members-only organization whose sole purpose is to clean up the messes that the universe has been leaving behind. Whether they’re modifying Heather Campbell’s acne cream as part of “Operation Butterface,” or righting a few wrongs when it comes to Angie and Jade’s own slimy exes, they know they’re just doing what Karma should have done in the first place. They’re taking care of one another.


Sometimes, though, it isn’t wise to meddle with the universe. Because it turns out, when you mess with Karma, Karma messes back. Now Maddy must find a way to balance her life for good, even as everything around her seems to be toppling to the ground.


This book was funny, cute and totally addictive. The plot kept getting better and better I couldn't even put it down.

I loved all the characters. Madison was funny, smart, and had everything wrong happen to her but she still made it through everything. Her friend Angie and Jade were great BFF's who wanted to help Maddy with all their evil plans.

The plot was cute and really good. The book was pretty hard to put down. It was a nice light read but has meaning to it.

Overall I loved almost everything and would recommend this to anyone. Especially if you want a nice light book to read.

I am definitely looking forward to more of Jessica Brody books
