bookshelves: 100books-in-09
This is a cute story about Colby figuring out who she is; we take the journey with her, through diary entries, blog post, emails and text messages. Colby has always been one of the girls that wasn't in the inner circle but wanted to be. After a lucky shot in volleyball, the most popular girl in school befriends her. To accept this friendship Colby has to give up her old life and shun her best friend Natalie.

Colby is in the in crowd, attending parties, has a "boyfriend" and staying out pass curfew - her parents are in the middle of a divorce and decided to send Colby to Greece for the summer, while their divorce gets ugly(wished that was my summer before my sr. year) Colby is extremely upset with her parents. She doesn't understand why they are punishing her for their problems. This was supposed to be the summer of her dreams. They are sending her to stay with an aunt; they have always called Crazy aunt Tally.

Colby arrives in Greece and has to take a boat to the small secluded island of Tinos. It is her worst nightmare- no cell service, no Internet, no TV. Luckily she does find an Internet Cafe with her laptop and a frappacino in had she starts a blog called Cruel Summer.

During the three months Colby spends on the island she learns that what she thought was love, was just a crush, that her new best friend isn't much of a friend, that best friends will fight, but they are able to move past it and that Crazy aunt Tally, isn’t so crazy after all. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68096504 to: Beautiful Creatures (Hardcover) by Kami Garcia

bookshelves: 100books-in-09
Clean, fun fantasy, with strong characters, great read for preteens. Alvor starts out slow, but about half way through it picks up. I hope this becomes a series.

Erin and Bain are orphaned teenagers who live with their grandpa Jessie. They spend most of their time alone, while grandpa is at work. Erin is the brainy bookworm, and Bain is a jock- one summer day, while exploring the forest around their home, they stumble across an enchanted house in the woods.
