Sweethearts By Sara Zarr

This weekend I read this wonderful book called Sweethearts by Sara Zarr. Jenna is a normal 17 year old girl. She has friends, even a boyfriend. What they do not know is that she is harboring a secret... eight years ago she used to be the most unpopular girl in school, being fat, having a speech problem, and not friends. That is until she met Cameron Quick. Cameron and Jenna were inseparable growing up, both loners with a troubling home life. But then Cameron disappears, and Jenna thinks he is dead. Now 8 years later, he shows back up and Jenna does not know what to think.

This book really surprised me. What started out as a book that I had to read, turned into a book that I could not put down. The level of friendship between Jenna and Cameron will break your heart, but also renew your faith that there are friends like that our there.

Girls... A MUST READ!

Short Week, LOTS of Books!

Although this has been a short week, I have been book hungry. For those of you who do not know what this is, it is where you just cannot get enough books. You just want to read all the time. This week I finished Where the Red Fern Grows, Copper Sun, The Disreputible History of Frankie Landau-Banks, and The First Part Last. Each one was very different, but SO good.

One of the things that I noticed about myself is that the book covers really grab my eye. On The Disreputible History of Frankie Landau-Banks, the front cover really turned me off to the book. Now that I have read it, I am in love with it.

Have you guys noticed that sometimes the book cover make or break the book for you? Is there a book that you have read anyway despite the cover?

I,Q: The White House

This was a great addition to the I, Q series. The White House starts off right where Independence Hall ended. Q and Angela are staying at the White House, and they even get to meet the president....in their pajamas. This book only takes place over one day, but only Roland Smith could pack so much into 24 hours!
