Jesse's Girl (Hundred Oaks #6) by Miranda Kenneally

Hey Everyone!!

I'm back for another review!!!

I'm so excited to share this one with you, because it is of a book that I received only last Friday and devoured over this past weekend!

Miranda Kenneally's Jesse's Girl!

From Goodreads:


Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke.  So when Maya Henry said she wanted to be a rock star, she never imagined she's get to shadow *the* Jesse Scott, Nashville's teen idol..

But spending the day with Jesse is far from a dream come true.  He's as gorgeous as his music, but seeing all that he's accomplished is just a reminder of everything Maya's lost: her trust, her boyfriend, their band, and any chance to play the music she craves.  Not to mention that Jesse's pushy and opinionated.  He made it on his own, and he thinks Maya's playing back up to other people's dreams.  Does she have what it takes to follow her heart --- and go solo?

My Thoughts:

I absolutely loved it!  I just have to say that straight off the bat.  I haven't been much of a reader the last few months, this summer has kept me a bit busier than normal summers, I've just moved, and I've working extra shifts.  But when I picked up this one, as soon as I received the box in the mail last Friday, I started it right away and devoured it immediately.  I've been reading non-stop, because I just could not put it down!

Miranda Kenneally has once again created a great southern story with teen romance.  Featuring some great past characters (hint hint: look at Maya's last name) ;).

Maya had a great unique personality I really enjoyed reading.  Jesse had this semi-dark past, that was interesting to learn more about.  And then the music world...loved that!!

In the description above, it says that Jesse was pushy and opinionated...while some might find those characteristics possibly annoying, I really liked them.  I'm a fairly opinionated person myself, because I believe in speaking my mind.

Overall Rating:


If you're a fan of Miranda Kenneally's books, like I am, you're sure to love this one!  I would say it's Catching Jordan and then Jesse's Girl, when it comes to my first and second choice of favorites from the Hundred Oaks Series.

I definitely recommend it, and it's available now!  Amazon has the paperback currently for only $5.49!!!!  That's cheaper than most EBOOKS!!!

So you really have no excuse but to read it, right??!! ;)

Anyway, enjoy the rest of your week, Everyone!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
