what I am reading this weekend:

The summer I turned pretty: for such a simple story line, this book drew me in right way. I am about halfway through and I feel that I know what will happen, (obviously I'm not sure yet because i haven’t finished it) but I am dying to finish the book anyway. the writing is good, the sentences are good, and the language is a lot cleaner than some of the other YA fiction I've read recently. I wish Pulse It was a little faster in loading the pages, because i want to finish this book!

Catching Fire: book two of the hunger games. I am not going to start it until my homework is done, that way I can read it all in one sitting!

Along for the Ride: Sarah Dessen’s newest novel! so excited!

The fortunes of Indigo Skye: I’m not quite sure what the story line of this book is supposed to be yet, because I haven’t gotten very far yet. but—The thing about me and books, is that, if the first paragraph does not capture my attention, I put it down. If I’m in the library, and I see a book, and I read the back of it and it sounds interesting, but I start it and it feels dead, I won’t even bother checking it out. I was pulled right into Indigo’s world from the first paragraph. I could feel her character, I could feel what she cared about and how she thought. Although the summary and the cover were not compelling in any way, the first chapter was.

that’s all for now.

until next time,
