Another Challenge

I'm doing a third challenge. Yes, yes I know I'm crazy. But I like it! I'm doing the 15 YA Historical Fiction books. Shouldn't be too hard since I do love Historical Fiction =)

~Dash & Lily's book of Dares~

by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

“I’ve left some clues for you. If you want them, turn the page. If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.” So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions? Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.

~The Sister Wife~

by Diane Noble

What if the man you loved told you God wanted him to take another wife? What if that woman was your best friend?

Set in the heart of the earliest days of a new nineteenth-century sect known as the Saints, The Sister Wife is a riveting account of two women forced into a practice they don't understand, bound by their devotion to Prophet Joseph Smith. When Mary Rose marries Gabriel, neither of them could foresee how quickly the community would turn to the practice of plural marriage. Devastated when Gabe is faced with an order from the Prophet to marry her best friend, Bronwyn, Mary Rose tries to have the faith to carry through with the marriage. But can she really be married to the same man as her very best friend? Can Mary Rose and Bronwyn face betraying both their husband and their God to do what they feel is right?

~The Sky is Everywhere~

by Jandy Nelson

Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they're the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can't collide without the whole wide world exploding.
This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable.

~The Fool's Girl~

by Celia Rees

Young and beautiful Violetta may be of royal blood, but her kingdom is in shambles when she arrives in London on a mysterious mission. Her journey has been long and her adventures many, but it is not until she meets the playwright William Shakespeare that she gets to tell the entire story from beginning to end. Violetta and her comic companion, Feste, have come in search of an ancient holy relic that the evil Malvolio has stolen from their kingdom. But where will their remarkable quest—and their most unusual story—lead? In classic Celia Rees style, it is an engrossing journey, full of political intrigue, danger, and romance.

This wholly original story is spun from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and includes both folly and suspense that would make the Bard proud

Follow Friday!!!

Hey Friends, new and old! I haven't done a Follow Friday in a while, so I figured I would! =)

The Question is: What book are you currently pushing? My answer? The Hunger Games. I'm basically MAKING everyone read it, haha

Book Blogger Hop

"What are you reading now and why are you reading it?"

 I am currently reading Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. It was on the must read YA blogger list a while ago, and I had a Borders giftcard, so I figured, what the hey, right. I'm really loving it and can't wait to review it on here =)

This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen

Title: This Lullaby

Author: Sarah Dessen

Series? none

Aquired From: School Library

Summary: Remy has 'the speech' down pat. You know, the speech you give the boyfriend when it's getting too serious. She's done it enough times and her mom is on husband number five. So why is it that she can't give Dexter, the tacky and quirky musician, the speech she knows by heart? He's messy and disorganized, and let's not even start with the name. Not to mention that he's a musician, just like her dad, a man that Remy never knew because he left before she was born. Could it be that the rules that Remy has religiously followed for all of her life don't apply to her any more?

Cover Rating: 5/5

Comments on the Cover: Cute cute cute cute cover. It works so well. Remy has a firm grip on her heart and controls it, like a piece of paper.
Character Comments: One word: Dexter is the best Sarah Dessen male. This was the second time I've read this book, but I think it only made me love Dexter even more. Remy was good too, a little too pessimistic at times, but all in all a good character.
Favorite Character: Dexter
Character Rating: 5/5

Plot line rating: 4/5

Plot Line Comments: It's Sarah Dessen. It's cliche. But I love it anyway.

Likeliness to reread it? 5/5
Overall rating: 4.75/5
Books like this that I have reviewed: Along for the Ride, The Lonely Hearts Club

Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter

No, it's actually not a book review (although you can be expecting one later), I was too excited NOT to share this with my readers. Ally Carter released the cover of the sequel to one of my favorite books, Heist Society!!

So, without further ado... here it is, ladies and gents!!!

Beatle Meets Destiny by Gabrielle Williams

Title: Beatle Meets Destiny

Author: Gabrielle Williams

Series? none

Aquired From: Public Library

Summary: His name is John Lennon, but everyone calls him Beatle. He is very superstitious, but just happens to meet his dream girl, whose name is coincidentally Destiny, on Friday the Thirteenth. Unfortunately, Beatle is already with a great girl, who also, coincidentally, is his twin sister's best friend. Will Destiny be Beatle's Destiny, in more way than one?

Cover Rating: 4/5

Comments on the Cover: There's nothing wrong with it. But I feel like they could have done a little more. Made it a little more Beatles like, put a little more one it. Done a little more with it. This is kinda just... boring...
Character Comments: I loved the quirkiness of all the characters! They were all so realistic with their randomness and quirks.
Favorite Character: Destiny and Beatle
Character Rating: 5/5

Plot line rating: 5/5

Plot Line Comments: Okay. This was probably one of my favoritest books ever. It was so different and quirky and kinda random. The plot was phenomenal. Here's a hint, there's a random old stalker dude.
