Ever since Viola's boyfriend broke up with her, she has spent her days silently wishing—for someone to love her again and, most important, to belong again—until her wishes inadvertently summon a genie named Jinn out of his world and into her own. He will remain until she makes three wishes. But it's only after Viola makes her first wish that she realizes she's in love with Jinn . . . and that if she wishes twice more, he will disappear from her life—and her world—forever.

Jackson Pearce spins a magical tale about star-crossed lovers, what it means to belong . . . and how important it is to be careful what you wish for.




I liked it!

     Escaping from them had been difficult enough, now Laney needs to keep hidden. All she wanted was to be on her own. Laney is not like other girls... she has very special abilities that set her apart from others. How or why she came about these abilities is a mystery she has yet to unfold. Haunted by memories and flashbacks of the suffering she endured at the hands of her captors, she changes her appearance and hides out in a small town. Ignoring her own warnings, she begins a relationship with a local boy. The relationship turns dangerous when the boy begins developing similar abilities. This development does not fall under the radar of the men who are trying to recapture her. A young doctor's interest is piqued when he witnesses her mysteriously curing a young child's illness. He befriends her due to his growing fascination with uncovering the true nature of her abilities, but not without harboring secrets of his own. Laney's new life falls apart when she meets a young intern that seems to have all the answers to her questions. The information sends her into a tail spin. Thoughts of going on the run once again are thwarted as those whom she was running from find her.

    Lost for Words
  • Reading level: Young Adult
  • Hardcover: 224 pages
  • Publisher: HarperTeen; 1 edition (May 11, 2010)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 0061429228

My New Year's resolution: I'm moving on from everything that's happened. I'm not going to talk about it, think about it, let the memory pounce upon me like a waiting tiger, nothing.

All Sophie wants to do is forget. But it's not easy now that everything's changed. The house feels too big, school drags on for too long, lights are too bright, the room spins, and her hands get sweaty for no reason. And she can't remember why she was ever best friends with Abigail, who is obsessed with parties and boys. Only the new girl, Rosa-Leigh, with her prose poems and utter confidence, might understand. But talking to her seems impossible.

Lost in memories of the life she once had, Sophie retreats into herself. But there's only so long she can keep everything bottled up inside before she explodes. Maybe by confronting the tragedy of her past she'll figure out how to fix her future.


My Review:

     This book is like an infection.  I started it without knowing anything about it.  As I was reading I found the story intriguing, but what took me a little while to realize was that every time I was forced to put it down it got more and more difficult.  It was like there was a web weaved slowly, connecting me to the book, until I wasn't able to set it down anymore.  I had to finish it.  Even though this isn't the happy chick-lit novel I'm used to, I loved it.  The story was moving, and even though I've never experienced anything like the tragedy she went through, I found Sophie's character extremely easy to relate to.  I also liked that even though it was written like a journal, it was still very detailed and I didn't feel like I was missing big parts of her life.  Predictably my favorite character was Rosa-Leigh.  I loved her because she was understanding towards Sophie and she was comforting when Sophie was sad but she didn't let her wallow in self-pity or not live her life just because of what had happened.  She helped Sophie to move on, and realize that just because her sister died, that doesn't mean Sophie had to also.  I would definately reccomend this book to everyone.

Adversary (The Second Ganzfield Novel)Book Summary:

Love at
"Second Sight"

The Break-in at Eden Imaging
put everyone at Ganzfield in the
crosshairs of a killer.

Do they have what it takes to stop Isaiah?
Who will survive-and who won't?

My Review:

I loved this book!   Even better than Minder! It was exciting, surprising, and completely exceeded my expectations!  The chemistry between the characters is fascinating, and the twists are unbelievable. I COULDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY UNTIL I FINISHED THIS BOOK. It distracted me from everything I was supposed to be doing.  It took over my head and I couldn't think of anything else.  And I was completely satisfied with the ending, I love when series books at least wrap it up a little, then I made the mistake of reading the first chapter of Legacy (which is in the back of Adversary) and now I'm dying for the next one. So I would like to tell Kate's publisher, nice work. If I wasn't hooked before, I definitely am now.

ParanormalcyBook Description:

Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours.


But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.
So much for normal.


My Review:

I've started quite a few books lately that have been very disappointing, and I thought maybe I was just getting picky after reading so many amazing books. I think my mom got sick of listening to me complain about the ones I was reading and she said, "Just go read Paranormalcy right now!" Needless to say, I finished it in less than one day.  Paranormalcy has officially been added to my favorites list (which includes Sea, Hunger  Games, Catching Fire, and Harry Potter :) I ADORED THIS BOOK! It is hilarious,  quirky, and completely unique!  I don't care about your stupid "TBR Pile."  Read Paranormalcy instead. Period. End of story. It is absolutely, utterly, entirely amazing.
