13 Little Blue Envelopes and Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson GIVEAWAY!!

13 Little Blue Envelopes:

When Ginny receives thirteen little blue envelopes and instructions to buy a plane ticket to London, she knows something exciting is going to happen. What Ginny doesn't know is that she will have the adventure of her life and it will change her in more ways than one. Life and love are waiting for her across the Atlantic, and the thirteen little blue envelopes are the key to finding them in this funny, romantic, heartbreaking novel.

Girl At Sea:

Sometimes you have to get lost . . .

The Girl: Clio Ford, seventeen, wants to spend the summer smooching her art-store crush, not stuck on a boat in the Mediterranean. At least she'll get a killer tan.

The Mission: Survive her father's crazy antics. Oh, and also find some missing underwater treasure that could unlock the secrets of civilization.

The Crew: Dad's wacky best friend Martin, his bizarre research partner Julia, her voluptuous daughter Elsa . . . and then there's Aidan, Julia's incredibly attractive, incredibly arrogant assistant.

What's going on behind Aidan's intellectual, intensely green eyes, anyway?
As Clio sails into uncharted territory she unveils secrets that have the power to change history. But her most surprising discovery is that there's something deeper and more cryptic than the sea—her own heart.

. . . to find what you're looking for

Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles

Carlos Fuentes doesn't want any part of the life his older brother, Alex, has laid out for him in Boulder, Colorado. He wants to keep living on the edge, and carve his own path just like Alex did.

Unfortunately, his ties to a Mexican gang aren't easy to break, and he soon finds himself being set up by a drug lord.
When Alex arranges for Carlos to live with his former professor and his family to keep him from being sent to jail, Carlos feels completely out of place. He's even more thrown by his strong feelings for the professor's daughter, Kiara, who is nothing like the girls he's usually drawn to. But Carlos and Kiara soon discover that in matters of the heart, the rules of attraction overpower the social differences that conspire to keep them apart.

As the danger grows for Carlos, he's shocked to discover that it's this seemingly All-American family who can save him. But is he willing to endanger their safety for a chance at the kind of life he's never even dreamed possible?

My Thoughts: Wow. I absolutely loved this book!! I first read Perfect Chemistry in the beginning of the year and LOVED it, once I heard the Author made another book, I bought it. I love how the story keeps going from one brother to another. Hopefully she makes another book!! This time with Luis Feuntes... lol anyways Carlos ain't as tough as he wants people to believe. He doesn't want to disappoint his mom. And Kiara was always the shy girl, and she wanted to be known as the girl who wasn't afraid to stand up for herself. She doesn't want to leave high school being the girl who stutters. I loved how Carlos never made Kiara tell him why she stutters, he might of asked her about it but only to avoid something else he had on his mind *cough* *cough*. She actually never told him but he knew that she stuttered when she got nervous and that happened quite a lot around him. Carlos and Kiara were total opposites but so were Alex and Brittany. When I first saw the cover of the book, I wondered why it was two people leaning out of their car kissing but you'll understand once you read it because I realize now its the PERFECT cover :) Plus that part in the book is my FAVORITE part!! Throughout the book Carlos is a jerk for many reasons, and he wanted to make Kiara hate him so she wouldn't love him. I personally think this book is SO romantic, I cant wait to read more of Simone Elkeles novels. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loved Perfect Chemistry and if you haven't read Perfect Chemistry... READ IT!

Im rating this book a...

4.5

Why?

And YES I'll admit, I'm a sucker for those

Contest Link: This Is Why Your Fat

Hey Guys!! I just came back from Bookin' with Bingo and entered an AWESOME contest!! You should enter too :) The book is called THIS IS WHY YOU'RE FAT by Jackie Warner. It actually sounds like it will work so CHECK IT OUT!!

Bloom by Elizabeth Scott

Ok, I know I said I was going to post stuff during Winter Break and I never did... I'm sorry!!! I really have no excuse. I was just LAZY. Well I'm back and I've read tons of books since the last time I posted something! Thank god for Christmas. Alright here we go!

There's a difference between falling and letting go.

Lauren has a good life: decent grades, great friends, and a boyfriend every girl lusts after. So why is she so unhappy?
It takes the arrival of Evan Kirkland for Lauren to figure out the answer: She's been holding back. She's been denying herself a bunch of things (like sex) because staying with her loyal and gorgeous boyfriend, Dave, is the "right" thing to do. After all, who would give up the perfect boyfriend?
But as Dave starts talking more and more about their life together, planning a future Lauren simply can't see herself in — and as Lauren's craving for Evan, and moreover, who she is with Evan becomes all the more fierce — Lauren realizes she needs to make a choice...before one is made for her.

Wow!! This book already sounded amazing from just reading the back!! And it was! My best friend Jenna bought this book for me for Christmas and I LOVE it. I loved it SO much I went out and bought Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott. Mostly because at the very end of bloom, they let you read like two chapters and her next book. I did and got hooked to Perfect You. Anyways, Lauren is a bit annoying to me. Some of the things she did just seemed kind of wrong... But I guess you'll do anything for love right? Dave (Laurens boyfriend) seems like a great guy! He was like the perfect boyfriend! But that's obviously not what Lauren wanted and that's totally ok. Katie (Laurens best friend) is really cool. She has a lot of crap going on at home but she's also got an awesome boyfriend! She had such a great bubbly personality. Through the whole book, Lauren feels like she can't tell Katie about Evan. She feels that Katie will tell her to forget about him and want her to keep Dave and stay cool. Lauren just wants to have fun and Dave is just boring. This book really teaches you about friendship and trust. I recommend this to EVERYONE! READ IT!!!

Im rating this book a...

4.0

It wasn't the best, but it was good. There
