Books - The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

Rate the book: 9

I think this book was pretty amazing. I mean, yes, it did get annoying when I didnt know whether what the book was talking about was past or present- but then I re-read it and it made a bit more sense.

The story is about a girl named Isabella (a.k.a: Belly) and how she spends her summer in a holiday house with some friends every year. So her mums friend owns this holiday house, and she has 2 sons. Jeremiah and Conrad. Jeremiah is a complete jester- always laughing, joking, goofing around. Conrad on the other hand- he's the more silent type.

So, Belly's had a crush on Conrad like, forever, but none of the boys notice her. That is, until this summer. :)

I'm not gonna say any more. You have to read the book to know what I'm talking about. As a bookworm, I HIGHLY recommend it.

Happy reading! :D

Books - My life and other catastrophes by Rowena Mohr

Rate the book:  8

This book is extremly funny and light- hearted. It is well written and the use of diary entries instead of chapters adds extra fun to reading this book. The use of adjectives is brilliant and the perspective of this teenage girl is absolutly perfect. Great book!
