Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith
Quincie Morris and her uncle are opening a vampire themed restaurant in Austin, Texas. When their chef gets brutally murdered they hire a new young man but there are many mysteries still surrounding the murder case. Meanwhile, Quincie's best friend Kieren, who happens to be half werewolf, is trying to sort through his and Quincie's relationship as well as find his place in the world as a half were-person. And then the more serious attacks start. People are missing left and right with no clues as to who the kidnapper/murderer is. It is up to Quincie to put all the pieces of this complicated puzzle together before everything she depends on is lost forever.This book was not one of my favorites, but it wasn't horrible. One of the things that I liked about it was the imagery. The author did a great job describing the setting and the characters which helped redeem this book in my eyes. I felt like I could really feel the atmosphere of the book which is always a turn-on for me when I'm reading. There were a couple of things that I didn't like very much though. Specifically the undeveloped plot. I felt like there were a lot of pieces left hanging. I also didn't really fully understand the whole were-person/vampire part of the story and I wish the book had explored more into the magical perspective because that was one of the more interesting things. Also, some parts of the book were rather confusing but they mostly cleared up as I kept reading. So overall, although this book was not a favorite of mine, it wasn't extremely bad either. It had a nice general plot but could have done more with developing things. I'm hoping there might be a sequel to clear some things up but I'm not counting on it. I guess I would recommend this book because it did hold my attention while I was reading for the most part.
The Luxe by Anna Godbersen
In 1899 New York City, Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule the social scene. They have mountains of money, doting servants, and handsome men to fawn over them. That all changes when their father dies and leaves their family penniless. Per her mother's orders, Elizabeth becomes engaged to one of New York's wealthiest bachelor in order to save the family name. Will Elizabeth and Diana be able to bring honor to their family or will they decide to follow their hearts even if huge consequences are inevitable? No matter the choice, drama and scandal are sure to follow.
Yum. This book was positively delicious. I had heard many good things about it and it did not disappoint in the least. In fact, it exceeded all of my expectations. I mean, any book that has such a gorgeous dress on the cover has to be good right? Man, I want that dress so bad! :P It's fluffy, silk, intriguing, and meant to impress; just like the book. Woah! So yeah, this book is truly amazing. It is full of lavish details and sumptuous plot twists. I could not put it down. I think I actually lost about three hours of sleep over this book. One of the things I really liked about it was that it showed that yes, historical fiction can be good. I've never been a reader of historical books, but reading The Luxe changed my viewpoint entirely. If anything, historical fiction is more thrilling than urban and modern books because of all the rules and etiquette people had to follow and then all the drama and scandal that ensued because of that. Over on the Compulsive Reader's blog, she has people give her reasons why they liked historical fiction. They were all so true; you can check them out here. The Luxe was really an example of a great historical fiction boo. It was fast-moving, clever, and immediately drew me in. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It'll be sure to please you.

The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler
Virginia Shreves is living a tough life. Being overweight in a family of perfect, popular, and fit people is hard. She is constantly being pressured to change who she is to please those around her. To make it worse, her best friend just moved across the country leaving Virginia to fend for her own in the vicious world of highschool. And her brother was found guilty of date rape. Her perfect, flawless brother let her down. Virginia's world is crashing down around her and if she doesn't do something fast, she's going to be lost in the tidal wave of lies, expectations, and troubles that are filling her life. Can she find a way to be herself and assert who she is in an unaccepting world?
Yes, I finally finished this book. It's not that it was hard to get through or anything, it's just that I listened to it on audiobook. I find it so much harder to listen to books than to read them because to listen to them, you have to have no distractions. I usually listen to music in the background and it's hard to have to focus completely on listening to something. On the other hand, I'm able to read with tons of distractions. I can tune out the world and get lost in a book so much easier, so I think I'm going to stick with that from now on. :) Anyways, this was a really good book! I really loved Virginia's unique voice and her cynicsm. I think the author approached the difficult topic of obesity in a great way. You could really get into the main character's mind and see the world through her eyes. The media definitely presents a distorted picture of the perfect body and I think that this book really proved that you don't have to look perfect to be happy. I especially liked Virginia's doctor. He was so open and didn't pressure her at all. He said that it isn't about having the perfect body, it's about feeling good about yourself, which I think is a great viewpoint. I enjoyed seeing Virginia discover who she was and showing her family and friends that she was unique and special and that she wasn't going to let anyone push her around. I think that everyone should think about themselves that way. I think that the ending was really satisfying also. I liked that Virginia used her own experiences to help others. Overall, this book was very good. I would highly recommend this as a book that will change your thinking on a difficult subject. It really opened my eyes.

Betwixt by Tara Bray Smith
All their lives, Nix, Ondine, and Morgan have known they are different. They each have different "powers" that they don't know anything about and aren't in control of. When they go to a rave on the summer solstice, they each learn the startling truth about what they really are. The three of them are a ring of Fay who are guided by Moth, a local drug dealer, and whose main goal is to reach their exidis without having their human corpuses die. When Tim Bleeker, a Fay gone wrong, steps into the picture, he tries to use each of them to make a more powerful version of Fay so that he and his group of his "cutters" can have ultimate power. His aspirations put all of Nix, Odine, and Morgan's friends in danger. They must learn about themselves and about what their purpose is in order to keep "Bleek" from eliminating their race.
I had high expectations for this book. I really thought it was going to be good! The plot is complex and original and the characters are believable and easy to relate to, but overall, the story really failed to deliver. Throughout the course of my reading, I had mixed feelings. Some parts would be good and would move fast, but other parts were just plain confusing. I think it was a big undertaking for the author to write a story in which she has to create this whole new species and have an interesting plot line at the same time. I do admit, that the idea of the story is intriguing and interesting, but I think it was just a little too much. I felt that the author was trying to cram too much story into too little of a book. One of the redeeming qualities was that the characters were explored in depth. Each of the three main characters had creative, defining characteristics and their reactions and emotions were plausible. That's one of the few good parts of this book. Overall though, it was a drag to have to trudge through it and I'm glad it's over. I guess I will be reading the sequel when it comes out just to see if it can bring anything more to the table than its predecessor did; which I'm hoping it will. I wanted to like this book, but I wouldn't really recommend it because, all in all, it failed to draw me in and didn't hold my attention.

Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
Becca grew up listening to her grandmother, Gemma, tell the story of sleeping beauty. The story was haunting yet Becca and her sisters never tired of hearing it. Then, Gemma dies leaving behind a box of photos, news clippings, and other objects that are keys to unlocking the past that she kept hidden from her family. Becca has never known who her grandfather is or where Gemma came from. Before Gemma died, Becca made a promise to her that she would find out about her past. That promise sends her on a plane to Poland to figure out who her grandmother was. There is so much more to the story but the suspense is one of the best parts and I don't want to spoil it!The story is set around the Holocaust and has some descriptions that really get to you. I had never read about the Holocaust in such depth and it was extremely scary and sad. Jane Yolen did an amazing job writing this story and the ending is really great. It changed my views on many things when I heard about the kind of experiences Gemma went through. I can not imagine what I would feel if I was in Becca's situation as she learned about her grandmother. It is such a harsh story but at the same time is filled with a kind of bitter triumph. I know that this story isn't true but it really put things in perspective and made me extremely grateful for my life and the things that I normally take for granted. I would highly recommend this book.
Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz
In New York, the rich and famous have a secret. They're not only wealthy and influential, they're also vampires; immortal creatures cast out from heaven hoping to win their way back in. Schuyler Van Alen is invited to a meeting of the exclusive Committee only to find out that she herself is part of the Blue Bloods (what the vampires are known as). And then she discovers that something is preying on them. Vampires are supposed to be immortal but they are now individually being sought out and drained of all their blood; the one thing they depend on to keep them alive for eternity. Schuyler is now fully wrapped up in the world of the Blue Bloods and has to solve a mystery that all the other vampires are ignoring. She knows that something is wrong but the leaders of the Committee pretend not to notice. It is up to her alone to find out what is killing off the vampires and save their race from extermination.
This book was amazing. I haven't read a book this thrilling in a long time. Too long. Melissa De La Cruz did a great job weaving the story of the Blue Bloods into modern culture. I especially liked the character of Schuyler as she gradually grew into who she was meant to be. It was interesting to learn about her ancestors and the different influences her family had on the vampires. Seeing as this is only the first book in the series, there is quite a bit of suspense at the end and I really can't wait to read the next book Masquerade. I would definitely recommend this book because it is a light, easy read that you can devour in one sitting. Exactly my kind of book.

Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher
Hannah Baker committed suicide. And she left one thing behind: a set of seven tapes which tell the 13 reasons why she ended her life. The tapes document all the events and connections that led up to her death. And guess who gets to listen to those tapes? The 13 people who are in Hannah's story. One of them is Clay Jensen and as much as he doesn't want to listen, he has to in order to find out the role he played and learn why Hannah did what she did. Also, in order to make sure that all 13 people do what she wants, she has made a set of duplicate tapes that are to be released to the public if one of the people doesn't follow through in listening and passing the story on. Now, the 13 people have to listen, absorb the truth, and have their lives changed for ever.Wow. That's all I can say about this book. Wow. As you can see, I also finished the book Blue Bloods today and so I started reading this one. And once I picked it up I literally could not put it down. I had to read for a straight four hours to get through it and there was no other way I could have done it. It is such a harsh story but it really draws you in. Being able to see into the mind of someone willing to go to the extreme of killing themselves is a scary insight. But as you read, you can actually start to see why she might be motivated to do something so dramatic. It is also heart-breaking to be there with Clay to witness his part in Hannah's death. Knowing that you had a part, whether you were aware of it or not, in someone's death has got to be crushing. I really felt for Hannah as well as Clay while I was reading. Also, this isn't just a light-hearted story, it really has depth and perspective to it, which makes for an amazing book. Th1rteen R3asons Why really touched me and I don't think I'll ever be able to forget this book. I would recommend it without a doubt. It has a powerful message and it really sheds some light on a hard topic.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
Nick and Norah meet and use each other at a club one night in order to get revenge on both of their exes. They both had their issues with their previous relationships, but after spending some time talking together, they discover that they're attracted to each other. And after night of clubbing, kissing, and getting to know each other, they both find a part of themselves in the other and have their views of life altered.
I have to say that this was not one of my favorite books. Don't get me wrong, the story line was cute and all with them spending a night together wandering around New York finding out who they are, but there wasn't much more to the plot than that. And with the excessive amount of swearing and sexuality, this book really failed to engage me. When I first picked it up, I thought it would be an enjoyable light read about young love and such, and I guess it was but it really wasn't all that good. The only circumstances I would recommend it under would be if you had absolutely nothing else to read. Sorry, but I didn't really like Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.
