books, sunday book coveting

So, ff_exchange is rolling right along and I already have a to-do list for it, I have two more days of work, and I am about eight reviews behind. What better use of my time is there than coveting some books!



1. The Sky Always Hears Me and the Hills Don't Mind by Kirstin Cronn-Mills:

Sixteen-year-old Morgan lives in a hick town. Her mom was killed in a car accident when she was two, her dad drinks, and her stepmom is a non-entity. Her boyfriend Derek is boring and she can't stop staring at her coworker Rob's cute butt. Then there's the kiss she shared with her neighbor Tessa . . . But when Morgan discovers a devastating secret about the one person she completely trusted, her entire world crashes and she must redefine her life and herself.

Hahahaha! Girls kissing. Yes please.

2. Fat Cat by Robin Brande: Becky reviewed this one and it sounded really interesting, although when I read books about weight, well...it doesn't always end so well. Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen annoyed me, Looks by Madeleine George was an exercise in me keeping my temper, so who knows what this will be like! I read Brande's other book, Evolution, Me, and Other Freaks of Nature, which was good except for some cardboard villains. The science part, though! I'll take it.

3. A Match Made in High School by Kristin Walker: Let me explain! A long time ago, I read a Sweet Valley Twins book called The Middle School Gets Married. I was obsessed with that book for months, totally fascinated by the idea of pretend marriage and eggs! I think I actually tried to care for an egg, too, because I was a really weird kid. I saw this cover, and I was immediately reminded of that book, so seriously, I just want to read this because it reminded me of that ridiculous SVT book where Jessica and Rick fought constantly and Elizabeth gets paired with Bruce and he turns into sensitive guy who lectures people about their iron consumption.



4. Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen: Well, geez, it's Sarah Dessen. I will be reading this no matter what! Also, a night owl. Safe to say I will have something in common with the main character.

5. How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford: Beatrice moves to a new town and befriends a quiet boy. New girl, shy kid with secrets. Mostly I am reading it for the title?

6. The Secret Life of Words: How English Became English by Henry Hitchings: Oh, I am a nerd! I am noodling on a manuscript about a boy who likes words, a former spelling bee champion with, um, secrets? There are a lot of books about words and language out there, but, predictably, just liked the cover. >.> It's becoming more and more apparent that I am a cover girl. Pretty covers mean I will be probably be more likely to go, "oooh!" Poor books with plain covers. ;_;
