Cricket is best friend with Jules. Zack is Jules younger brother , and he flirts with her sometimes. Jules mother invited Cricket to come to the cape with their family, but she suddenly dies. The vacation with Jules family isn't going to happen.
Cricket finds a job , and then loses it. She finds another job and is able to work on the cape , and see Jules. Also her crush is also there too.

This is a summer of growth for Cricket and her relationships with Jules, Zack , and even her mom. Cricket makes some good friends & even reads her mom's journal  when they were both the same age.

Book Review= C

Thanks Disney for the letting me read the book and it comes out May 7 and this is my Honest Review
Like with Cooking and having all the right ingredients..a book is the same way. No recipe for making cooking is always going to be the same, neither is reading a book.
Olivia loves to cook , and she does odd jobs for her neighbors and cooks at the family restaurant. She lives with her Dads. Her parents are having relationship issues and financial issues too. She finds a old cookbook with notes about a relationship and hints with cooking. She also is even more curious about her mom. She gets another job and runs into her crush , who is also having family issues.

This was an okay story but I didn't really connect with anyone at all. This seemed to read like a journal entries . This was a story of self growth and realizing what is the secret ingredient. I was glad that there was a family , and that she had friends.

Book Review= C

Thanks Random House for the book and this is my Honest Review and this book comes out June 11

Gini koch Top Ten ways to Recruit Team Members


Top 10 Ways to Recruit Team Members
By Gini Koch

It’s been noted that Katherine “Kitty” Katt-Martini catches people in her wake and drags them along with her on her adventures. Sure, this means that said people become involved in the fight to protect the Earth from all the evil -- internal and very external -- trying to destroy it. It also means a lot of people have gotten to rethink their original career plans, just as Kitty did, and are now enjoying fulfilling careers with Centaurion Division.

In honor of the release of Kitty’s latest exploits, chronicled in Alien in the House, here’s her good go-to list for how to pick new besties and teammates to save the world with. Your existing BFFs -- like the former top international male model, the self-made millionaire who now works in the C.I.A., and your high school and college girlfriends -- will all agree these folks belong in the posse.


10. Look for someone who has at least three jobs who is also in medical school and cage fights as a hobby -- such a person is invaluable and should be dragged along, whether or not he thinks you’re sane at first.
9. Trojan football is always here to help -- choose the smartest player and the one who’s a closet comics geek, they’ll do you right.
8. When you identify a man who knows everyone, knows how to do everything, and can solve the most challenging problems with a smile, hold him close, never let him go, and give him a nice title like Concierge Majordomo.
7. There’s a lot more to Troubadours than Empaths, Imageers, and Dream Readers want you to know; keep your eyes open for a good one.
6. Girls like to kick butt too and are normally a lot better at it than the menfolk want to admit; ensure you keep a good supply of Riot Grrrls around -- sure they say they like the scientific stuff the best, but put a rocket launcher in their hands and they’re soon singing the Adrenaline Junkie tune.
5. A girl who seems a little unstable but who makes excellent explosives is a girl who should be kept around.
4. Just because someone seems like a stuffed shirt when you first meet doesn’t mean he won’t actually be the zig to your zag; test him out with baseball and musical cues and you’ll soon know if he’s a keeper.
3. Older folks like to cut loose, too; never overlook the man who everyone thinks is merely a figurehead -- he’s probably able to make James Bond look like a kindergartener and show up the guys half his age.
2. A nosy investigative reporter is a PIA; one who’s always right and who actually cares about being on the side of right, on the other hand, is a treasure who should be given scoops all the time so the other reporters are very jealous.
1. When aliens arrive to divide and conquer, remember that even though they may look different from you, deep down the good ones all like the same things -- kicking butt, rock ‘n’ roll, and saving the day, not necessarily in that order.

Blog Confession -- Another Reviewer

 Have you added or considered adding additional reviewers to your blog? Why or why not? If you have, please share how you found the right match when bringing new people to your established blog. Did you encounter any problems? 

I have thought about it many a time, but what's hold me back is that I will have end up sharing my blog. This blog is my baby and it has grown and changed as much as I have I though the past 6 years. I would rather my kids did the reviews along with me, but that has been hit and miss. 

Also I have seen where there are two people who run a blog , and someone gets kicked off. I have seen the fallout from that situation.  I don't know if I want to deal with another person issues, or if they can't commit. I would be afraid that things wouldn't work out. I think that's what is holding me back. I know I SO  many books to read, and that I DO need help. 

I am have seen other blogs where it seems to work out great , but then I don't know all what happens behind the scenes. 

Thanks Karen & Pam for this topic 

Have you added another reviewer on ?? Did it work out ??

Dare you to Book Review

Ryan loves baseball , and he loves to do dares. Beth is helping her mom out since she is drunk many times. Beth takes the fall for her mom, and goes to live with her Uncle Scott who lives in a small town.
Ryan's family isn't so perfect it would seem. Ryan is also doing well with writing. He needs to make some choices this year. Beth doesn't like all the rules in place . She is trying to find her place with her uncle, and with friends.
Ryan and Beth have many issues to work through including trust. Beth also some self worth issues to deal with too.

I enjoyed this 2nd story  with these characters. I loved how were are able to see Isaiah and Noah in this book too. Ryan is another swoon worthy character. I admit I cried a couple times because I think we wonder why someone is dating us. I love this cover. I loved the rain scene and ribbons .

This reminds of the Perfect Chemistry series but these are three friends .

Book review = B

Thanks so much Harlequin teen for the book and this is my Honest Review

This book comes out May 28
