Review: Wish You Were Eyre - Book #6 The Mother-Daughter Book Club - Heather Vogel Frederick- September 2012

The Mother-Daughter Book Club is back and this time they are reading "Jane Eyre" and it seems that a few of them definitely have some lessons to learn from Jane Eyre and a few other stories they have been reading or are exposed to. In Wish You Were Eyre , we discover that Becca has got a job working at Megan's grandmother Gigi's shop "Pies and Prejudice" , Megan is off to Paris and has been given the opportunity to cover the Fashion Week show due to her blog, Emma is having boyfriend problems as her boyfriend Stewart seems more occupied with newcomer Sophie who is from France and staying with Megan , Jess has been accused of cheating which means that she could lose not only her spot in the Accapella groud MardiGals but also her scholarship and Cassidy is taking her team to the champisonships but also has boyfriend problems as her eye his drawn to someone other than Zach. With lots happening including marriages, nasty girls, new babies and friendship problems it looks like the girls will have to join forces in overcoming any obstacles thrown in their way and like Jane - That's Eyre not Austen they must grow a backbone and find the courage to stand up for what they believe is right and needs to be said. The Mother-Daughter Book Club series , though is quite a lengthy read is aimed at girls aged 9-13years but is quite enjoyable as they find themselves relating the stories not only to themselves these days but they also get to learn neat facts and bond over the books.
This series is also good for the 13+ who love reading renditions of classics and just want to have some fun downtime to read and not have to worry too much about the content and detail of the storyline.

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
