Getting over...

“You can die of a broken heart -- it's scientific fact -- and my heart has been breaking since that very first day we met. I can feel it now, aching deep behind my rib cage the way it does every time we're together, beating a desperate rhythm: Love me. Love me. Love me.” 

A good read for anyone who has an obsession - a boy, a girl, a book, a thought...learning to live life for yourself and not getting caught up in the fantasy of something that will never happen.  Although a teen novel, a powerful story of enjoying those around you and each step of the journey of life.

In vain I have struggled...

I just finished another reading of Pride and Prejudice with my Sophomore Honors English classes.  Jane Austen is truly a master of words.  It is a timeless tale that all generations will continue to read and enjoy.  There are no words to explain how much I love reading this book each year.

Two Way Street

Yet another teen novel!  I surprisingly liked this novel even though it had a bit of a slow start.  Jordan and Courtney are not longer dating, but they are still attending the same college. As promised, they are going to get to college via a long road trip...together!  The author highlights both sides of the story as the two attempt to mend broken hearts. What would you do if you had to spend a few days in a car with your ex?

Catching Jordan

It's still that time of year when I read teen novels to be added to my teen reading list.  I haven't read a lot of "girly" books lately, so I thought I would just into one.  Although it is quite girly, there are aspects that everyone can relate to.

A high school senior, the captain of the football team, a devoted friend, Alabama fan, and a girl!  Jordan has everything it takes to be successful her senior year of high school until her world is rocked by Ty, a transfer from Texas who has everything - looks, skill, and a fascination for Jordan.  How will Jordan manage to keep her life and future in order?

This book has a little bit of it all...good times, bad times, laughs (no tears, sorry), and hope.
