Book Review: Majix: Notes from a Serious Teen Witch

Majix: Notes from a Serious Teen Witch by  Douglas Rees

Release Date: July 2010

Publisher: Harlequin                  

Age Group: Young Adult

Pages:  304

Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥

My name is Kestrel.

Kestrel Murphy.

Never call me Susan.

Who ever heard of a witch named Susan?

A year ago, I was on the white-magic side. Lately, I've been leaning toward the black. I blame the universe. What's the point in being a nice little white witch in the universe I've got? If I could choose my own universe, I'd be a white witch in it. But black makes a lot more sense in this universe.

Not that I'm complaining. A witch never complains. But if I did, I'd have a lot to complain about. For instance: Richard Milhous Nixon High.

What's a teen witch to do when she's stuck in the most unmagical high school in the universe? Create her own "majix." Take notes. And above all, avoid nasty classmates, heartless grown-ups and boys who may prove a little too distracting for a serious teen witch to handle….

this week's question,

TELL US ABOUT THE BOOK YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING!

Book Review: Forget You(Blog Tour)

Forget You by Jennifer Echols

Release Date: July 2010

Publisher: MTV( Simon & Schuster)

Age Group: Young Adult

Pages:  304

Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥

Source: Publicist/ Blog Tour

WHY CAN’T YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU FORGET . . .  AND WHAT YOU REMEMBER?  There’s a lot Zoey would like to forget. Like how her father has knocked up his twenty-four- year old girlfriend. Like Zoey’s fear that the whole town will find out about her mom’s nervous breakdown. Like darkly handsome bad boy Doug taunting her at school. Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Zoey fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she’s the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Brandon.  But then Zoey is in a car crash, and the next day there’s one thing she can’t remember at all—the entire night before. Did she go parking with Brandon, like she planned? And if so, why does it seem like Brandon is avoiding her? And why is Doug—of all people— suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? Zoey dimly remembers Doug pulling her from the wreck, but he keeps referring to what happened that night as if it was more, and it terrifies Zoey to admit how much is a blank to her. Controlled, meticulous Zoey is quickly losing her grip on the all-important details of her life—a life that seems strangely empty of Brandon, and strangely full of Doug.

Book Review: The Karma Club

The Karma Club by Jessica Brody

Release Date: April 2010

Age Group: Young Adult

Pages:  272

Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥

Madison Kasparkova always thought she understood how Karma works. Do good things and you'll be rewarded, do something bad and Karma will make sure you get what you deserve. But when Maddy’s boyfriend cheats on her, nothing bad comes his way. That’s why Maddy starts the Karma Club, to clean up the messes that the universe has left behind. Sometimes, though, it isn’t wise to meddle with the universe. It turns out Karma often has plans of its own.

Like it’s not enough Cooper was lying to Eliza for their entire relationship, now he and his friends are blackmailing her. They’re giving her just one night to complete the most humiliating tasks on her list or they’ll post her secrets online—including the ones that aren’t just about her.

Eliza’s sure of only one thing: she isn’t going down without a fight. Cooper may have what’s left of her dignity, but she’s not the only one with something to hide …

"We're trying to make a diagnosis here" Beau intoned with mock seriousness,"Either you have hormone poisoning or you're hopelessly insane.Don't you want to know which it is?....

I've already diagnosed your grandmother. I'm afraid she's got  a terminal case of old b*itch disease."

The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller (ARC) pg 13

My thoughts: Beau... charming, cute, funny and Haven's gay Bestie. Gotta Love Him! :-D It might be disrespectful(about the grandmother) She's not really cool with Haven being friends with someone whose gay. Her grandmother is VERY religious and thinks that everything is a sin/bad.

A CHILLING NOVEL ABOUT THE ISOLATION OF BEING STALKED AND THE ABUSE OF POWER.
Olivia Peters is over the moon when her literary idol, the celebrated novelist and muchadored local priest Mark D. Brendan, offers to become her personal writing mentor. But when Father Mark’s enthusiasm for Olivia’s prose develops into something more, Olivia’s emotions quickly shift from wonder to confusion to despair. Exactly what game is Father Mark playing, and how on earth can she get out of it?
