Book Summary : Abbi Glines - Best I've Ever Had

Image
Summer had returned to the coastal town of Sea Breeze, Alabama. The nightlife lit up with scantily clad sun-kissed bodies, live music, the smell of freshly cooked seafood. Taking it all in he wondered if coming back had been the best thing. He wasn’t the same man who had driven out of town a year ago on the motorcycle he’d spontaneously bought after his best friend’s wedding. From the messy blond curls he’d let grow out to the tattoos now covering his arms, part of his chest and even the side of his neck, it all represented a part of his journey. Eli Hardy was back, but he didn’t plan on staying for long.

Book Summary : Meagan Brothers - Wierd Girl and What's his Name

This fresh LGBT YA novel speaks to anyone who has ever felt unwanted and alone. In the tiny podunk town of Hawthorne, North Carolina, seventeen-year-old geeks Lula and Rory share everything - sci-fi and fantasy fandom, Friday night binge-watching of old X-Files episodes, and that feeling that they don't quite fit in. Lula knows she and Rory have no secrets from each other; after all, he came out to her years ago, and she's shared with him her 'sacred texts" - the acting books her mother left behind after she walked out of Lula's life. But then Lula discovers that Rory - her Rory, who maybe she's secretly had feelings for - has not only tried out for the Hawthorne football team without telling her, but has also been having an affair with his middle-aged divorcee boss. With their friendship disrupted, Lula begins to question her identity and her own sexual orientation, and she runs away in the middle of the night on a journey to find her mo...

Guidelines for writing a book review

Guidelines for writing a book review We write a book review for a blog because we enjoyed a book and want to recommend it to other people to read. Not many of us find a book interesting by its cover. We generally look around to see if we can find some reviews on a certain book before we can grow an interest toward the book. When writing your book review, do not tell the whole story as this will spoil the book for other readers. You can write the following in your book review : The name of the book and the author. A really interesting quotation that caught your eye, one that you read again because you enjoyed it. (Optional) Write about the main characters in the book. (Who they are, what they do, where they live) Write about how much you loved the book. What did you learn from the story, if anything? What age group would enjoy reading this book. End the Blog with a sentence that makes the reader want to read the book to find out what happened in the story. Don’t f...
