My Current Bookshelf

Every so often I rearrange my book shelf. Here is a list of my recent good read finds and disappointments.

My Current Bookshelf:

Heist Society
By: Ally Carter
Rating: (Out of 10) 9
Really, Really Short Description: A girl. A heist. Thieves. Art. Family. Friends. Romance. Loyalty. All in one impossibly good book.

The Gallagher Girl Series
By: Ally Carter
Really, Really Short Description: The Drama of Being a Girl: Check. The Drama of Being a Spy: Check. Books You Won't Want To Put Down: Triple Check.

1. I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You
Rating: (Out of 10) 8

2. Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy
Rating: (Out of 10) 9 1/2

3. Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover
Rating: (Out of 10) 9 1/2

Audrey, Wait
By: Robin Benway
Rating: (Out of 10) 7 1/2
Really, Really Short Description: At first Audrey may seem like a normal girl. But most normal girls don't have hit songs written about them by their ex. Robin Benway created a feel-good story full of original ideas and whim.

Confessions of a First Daughter
By: Cassidy Calloway
Rating: (Out of 10) 4 1/2
Really, Really Short Description: Nobody said being the first daughter was easy. Especially not teen Morgan Abbott. *Note* I thought this was a great idea and a cute plot, but the story just didn't draw you in, the characters just didn't move you, and there was no overall depth to the storyline.

Scarlett Fever
By: Maureen Johnson
Rating: (Out of 10) 7
Really, Really Short Description: After a topsy-turvy ride through an unforgettable summer, Scarlett is back in action with a whole new twist. Suite Scarlett's well-developed characters and laugh out loud moments carry into the sequel book, but it lacks some of the warmth, good timing and well planned story and leaves you hanging at the end. Still, it's a great read.

Just One Wish
By: Janette Rallison
Rating: (Out of 10) 7
Really, Really Short Description: Family. Cancer. Teen Robin Hood. One little brother. One wish. One determined big sister with problems of her own. A highly enjoyable (though highly unrealistic) read.

Airhead and Being Nikki
By: Meg Cabot
Rating: (Out of 10) 8
Really, Really Short Description: How would you like to wake up in the body of a super model? Em Watt's isn't thinking it's all too great. Meg Cabot does it again creating a fantastic and unique read.
