What I've been reading

Hello -
I'm going to be telling you about what I've been reading.
I do have another blog, and this will be the one I post about books. You can check out my other blog at kaminskyreader.blogspot.com!!
So, here's what I've been reading lately.

-Love, Life, and the Pursuit of Hotties - Katie Maxwell
Interesting book about a girl named Emily who is in her last year of high school to the summer before college. The book is written in the form of e-mails between her and different friends. It is not the first in the series of books about Emily, so I don't suggest reading this unless you have read the one's that come before.
A lot of people might not like this book, because it is definitely weird.
-13 Little Blue Envelopes - Maureen Johnson
A good book. For some reason I thought it wouldn't be very good, but it was. It's about a girl named Ginny who gets a letter from her dead aunt that says that she needs to pack one bag and to go to London. It leads Ginny on an adventure around Europe, from the 13 blue envelopes that are from her aunt. Very good story.
-Glass Houses-Rachel Caine
Good. It's a vampire book, but a different outlook on vampires. There are twists to the story that don't normally happen in vampire books.
In this one college town, all of the natives have a type of insurance that assures that the vampries won't bother them, since the vampires rule the town. Some good vampires, some bad, some young, some old. Very interesting and good.
-The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
Hard to describe. Written in the form of letters to an anonymous person. The main character writes to this person about his life, so we can hear everything first hand. We learn about his past and what is happening at the present time. Interesting.
-Annie's Baby: the diary of Anonymous, a pregnant teenager - Edited by Beatice Sparks
Good book. Shows you that you really don't want to get pregnant for a LONG time. Written in the form of diary entries.
-Fair Haven - JoAnn Ross
Good book. About an american woman doctor who travels to Ireland to try to help save her friend from dying. And in the process she becomes friends with some of the other people living their, and helps diagnose an 8 year old girl.

They are all very good. Most of them are young adult books so if you are older than a young adult, I don't know if you would like these books or not. If you want a better summary for any of these books, then go to the author's main website, or amazon.com

At the moment I am reading Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe By Fannie Flagg and I will soon be starting Ill Wind by Rachel Caine.

Have fun with your lives!!!!
