Review: Text Me - 8 Novels of First Love - Various Authors - November 2013

Looking for a new teen novel collection of books to read ? Love reading about First Loves ? One of the things that never leaves us is our first love , we will no matter always remember it. In Text Me , there is something for everyone from Shana Norris writing about Mermaids in a story called Surfacing. This story reminded me a tad of the movie Aquamarine crossed with the TV show H20 : Just Add Water and happened to be my favourite story out of this book. Then next up was a mystery novel set in a High School with a Reality Dancing programme that reminded me of a Dancing with the Stars show by author Amanda Brice titled Codename: Dancer in this book someone is trying to kill of the dancers and make sure that the show doesn't go ahead. This reminded me of the movie Miss Congeniality. Next up was an Angel story called Winging It by Shel Delisle about Grace who has been sent down to earth to become a Guardian Angel. Next follows author Elle Strauss who is famous for her Clockwork series and in Text Me she has written a time travelling story where the main character heads back to the 1950's and meets a hot guy who resembles hunky James Dean . Juli Alexander brings us a story about Witches and mixing potions for evil and not good . Cindy Hogan brings a fun light hearted tale of confessions of a 16 yr old Virgin which reminded me of Louise Rennison's Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging series and is great if you are wanting a light teen romantic read.  Another of my favorite as I love reading renditions of fairy tales was Kate Avery Ellison's story The Curse Girl which is about a girl called Bee -yes like the buzzy bee who is imprisoned in a cursed house and the only way that she can be released is meeting and falling in love which would have been easy if it wasn't for the annoying Will. Last but not least is Chasing Puberty by Kat Brookes which is a tale of Plain Girl turning to be an "It Girl" and showing readers that more often than not is that self-esteem and being the "it" comes from within and not what others think of you.
So needing an anthology for a christmas present to give to a Tween/Teen Girl, then Text Me is the book for them.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
