Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin

Rachel has always done the right thing. Always been the perfect best friend. Always sacrificed something for herself, for Darcy. Including Dex. Dex has been Rachel's friend since their freshman year of Law School. Now, Darcy and Dex are engaged to be married, just when Rachel and Dex realize their feelings for each other. Sad Face.

As the Maid of Honor, Rachel deals with the brunt of the Wedding problems, stresses, and freak out moments. Not that she wants the wedding to happen, since she's in love with the groom.

As the scandelous relationship grows more serious, and more people find out, the more obvious the consequences become.

When does a budding romance overshadow a lifelong friendship. Where does the grey end, and the obvious black come into play.

Should you stop, even though it's the most alive you've felt in, well, forever?

Love Story by Jennifer Echols

I was walking through my local book store, just looking at random titles, when I saw Love Story. I picked it, being the loyal Taylor Swift fan that I am. After reading the first line of the back cover, I was hooked.

Erin Blackwell, like me, is an aspiring author. Unlike me, she has money. Well, she had money. After refusing to go to buisness school and take over her grandmother's famous, horse breeding, multi-million dollar farm, the woman, who raised her, cut her off. On her graduation night. Talk about tough love.

So now Erin is living in New York, taking all the right classes for a writing major, eating nothing but ramen noodles and crackers, and working 40 hours a week. She has friends, she has a goal, she has a job. Everthing is going fine. That is until a certain Mr. Hunter Allen, Erin's 'Stable Boy' turns up in her Creative Writing class. Coincidence? Considering he's the boy who stole her inheritance, she thinks not.

"She's writing about him. He's writing about her. And everybody is reading between the lines." Reads the back cover. And that is only the peak of a mountain of trouble.

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

John Smith

You would expect him to be an unknown. A terrorist. A spy.

But an Alien? Never.

John Smith is from Lorien. And he is being hunted. Hunted by the same race that made him home planet uninhabitable.

Number Two was killed in England

Number Three was killed in Kenya

John Smith is Number Four.

He is in Paradise Ohio. He is next.

The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White

Wart, who we all know as Kin Arthur, is just a raggedy little kid who is constantly overshadowed by his older, more handsome, stronger, and more liked brother, Kay. But when wart meets Merlyn, that's all changed. Merlyn teaches him things no one else could teach him. He turns him in to animals, insects, and inanimate objects for gods sake!

But Wart is constantly making the same mistake. He underestimates people, animals, and their abilities. Which gets him into a lot of trouble.

The main problem that I had with this book, was the repetition. Although he learns something new every time he in transformed, he never uses it. Which is a BIG pet peev of mine...

If you want an easy, summertime novel, don't read this. But if you want an intelligent, thought-provoking book, this is for you.

The City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

When I read the first book in this series I was thinking, 'Oh my, is this the next Percy Jackson? Or is it the next Twilight?'  It seems to me like it's turning out to be the latter. It's a romance novel with a hint of action. Not an action novel with a hint of romance, like the synopsis implies:

City of Fallen Angels takes place two months after the events of City of Glass. In it, a mysterious someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and displaying their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters, leaving tensions running high in the city and disrupting Clary’s plan to lead as normal a life as she can — training to be a Shadowhunter, and pursuing her relationship with Jace. As Jace and Clary delve into the issue of the murdered Shadowhunters, they discover a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart forever.

Meanwhile, internecine warfare among vampires is tearing the Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels

A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

This thrilling comedy has touched the lives of millions for over four centuries. William Shakespeare, the Bard, has created an exciting, humorous, and all-together irrational fantasy anyone can enjoy.

Between the love triangle (or is it a square?) of Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena, the hiliarious conflict of Oberon and Titania, and the banter between Theseus and Hippolyta, there is bound to be somthing anyone can find amusing.

"Over hill, over dale... I know a bank where the wild thyme grows."
