Must read fantastic

Wish this book was around prior to finishing the series it made more sense once read, however a great book in its own sense without the series. Well done a must read for Sephenie Meyer fans.

Short Life of Bree Tanner Long on Thrills

It gave depth and real insight into "behind the scenes" during the Eclipse novel. Great for those die-hard Twilight fans. Great narrator. Too bad its short and we all know how it ends.

really enjoyed this book

It was great to see the other side of the young vampires and how they saw the new world they lived in.

An awesome companion novella to Eclipse

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is an awesome companion novella to Eclipse.

She dies at the hands of the Volturi after the Cullens plead for her life. The novella is well narrated by Emma Galvin.

His girlfriend dumped him (at Applebees), he spied his father on a date with a woman who is not his mother (also at Applebees!), and he lost his fourth job of the year. Its like every relationship he cares about is imploding, and he cant figure out whats going on.

To find answers, Seth decides to start an anonymous podcast called The Love Manifesto, exploring what love is, why love is, and why were stupid enough to keep going back for more. Things start looking up when Seth gets a job at a golf club with his hilarious and smut-minded best friend, Dimitri, and Dimitris sister, Audrey. With their help, Seth tracks down his fathers mystery date, hits the most infamous bogey in the history of golf, and discovers that sometimes love means eating the worst chicken-salad sandwich you can ever imagine.

Members Reviews:

Entertaining and fun..

Seth Baumgartner summer is panning out to be less than ideal. They say bad things happen in threes, which in Seths case proves to be very true. In one day his girlfriend dumps him, he sees his dad out with a woman who so isnt his mom and he gets fired from yet another job.

Another great read narrated by my personal favorite narrator the talented Nick Podehl. SETH BAUMGARTNERS LOVE MANIFESTO is one of those witty coming of age stories that you just cant help but smile through. Eric Luper has created a charming and enjoyable read that just about everyone can relate to, with a mix of topics ranging from fidelity and friendship, to podcasts and golf. If youre a fan of books like SWIM THE FLY, CARTERS BIG BREAK and SPUD then Ill guarantee that Lupers SETH BAUMGARTNERS LOVE MANIFESTO will fit smoothly in with your collection.

*Favorite quotes:

Youll be dethroned faster than a coke snorting beauty queen.

Do you wake up in the morning and challenge yourself to be stupider then the day before?

It's a great story. The discription of the town and woods reminded me of home. Looking forward to read the rest of the books.

Five Stars

Great book by a great author.

I have never seen her read and enjoy a book like this before

I bought this for my 4th grade daughter who hates reading. She recieved the 1st book two weeks ago and is already on book 2. I have never seen her read and enjoy a book like this before. Her younger sister is just now starting the book based off how her older sister loves it. I am so happy to see her loving these series!

BEST. BOOK. EVER.

This is an amazingly well written book, with superb and interesting characters. A great young person novel. I first heard about this book on social networking app Instagram, when the wonderful author followed me. My first thought was "I simply must read this!" I did, and it is beautiful, magical, wonderful. I highly suggest reading this.

Will Candace survive the shift from cotton candy to candy corn?

Fall is in the air, and without completely knowing why, Candace Thompson has signed up to continue what was supposed to be a short-term summer job at the local theme park. Working with Kurt doesnt hurt, but a surprising kink involving her youth group, as well as the shock of an unexpected setback, threaten to be more painful. Candaces autumn holds as many surprises as her summer as her rousing romp through the seasons continues.

Members Reviews:

Good

It was a good sequel as in seeing candace grow into her own more- though I think she is a little too precious at times.

Halloween was fun to read but had the tendency of feeling like an episode from scooby doo at times.

I'm sorry to say the narration ruined it slightly for me. Laura's reading voice is nice but the character voices was quite distracting. So much so that sometimes I missed the words as I was paying too much attention to her voice instead and going huh/ that's not how I imagine bla.

I think tamara is called tamara literally but the narrator kept saying tamera- I haven't seen text so can't say but in book one it was pronounced differently. Also,sorry, but tamara sounded like a 40 year old ghetto queen/ not what I imagine her to be.

Overall it's a good addition/ but found the narrator a bit distracting.

Timmy's life has changed since his dad died. He is now living with his grandparents and attending the one-room school back in Kentucky. Dark Days in Morgan County is the third installment in the popular Kentucky Summers series. Novelist Tim Callahan carves out a dramatic, suspenseful tale about a "colored" family that has moved into the Morgan County farm community in 1960. Overcoming his initial fear, Timmy makes friends with the poor Henry Washington's clan of six and introduces them to other families in the area.

Despite the difficult theme of the book, Tim Callahan has maintained the country wit and charm of his first two books while tackling racism and hatred. Spend a few evenings listening to this important and entertaining story. Kids and adults will love Dark Days in Morgan County.

Could not put the book down

I could not put down Tim Callahan's Dark Days in Morgan County. It's the third in his Kentucky Summers series but one doesn't have to read the earlier books to enjoy this one.

Timmy's father has died and Timmy is living with his grandparents in Morgan County, Kentucky, while his mother tries to get a job and make a home for Timmy and his sister. Timmy is excited to be spending an entire year with his friends and grandparents and to be going to the one room school house.

New neighbors move in and they are the first black family to live in the county. Timmy's mom always taught him not to look at someone's skin color so Timmy befriends the kids and introduces them to his friends, Susie and James Ernest, and helps to arrange for them to all attend school together.

Tim Callahan handles the racial issues that arise with great care and compassion. As the plot developed I just did not want to put the book down until I knew how things were going to turn out. A great read!

Was given as a Father's Day Gift

I absolutely LOVE these Series of books!! Reminds me of mine and my own children's childhood days. Good, clean and very entertaining. You'll laugh and cry. Everyone should read these books!

Great story told well.

Great reading entertainment. Takes you right into story.

heartwarming

Once again Mr. Callahan has captured your heart in a story. You feel sorry for Timmy in the loss of his father, but at the same time you are so happy for him because he gets to live in Kentucky. His kindness to the African American family was so special. In every aspect of this story Mr. Callahan makes you feel a part of it.

Be blessed and read this wonderful book

Fall in love with truth, honor, and redemption through Tim Callahan`s excellent story-telling. Become a fan of someone who reminds me of David Dick, who truly loved Kentuckians.

Title: Running on the Cracks

Author: Julia Donaldson

Narrator: Kate Byers, Stuart McLoughlin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-10-09

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13

Publisher's Summary:

Leo's running from her past. Finlay's running into trouble. Together, they stumble into a crazy new world of secrets, lies and Chinese food. But someone is on Leo's trail. With Finlay's help, can she escape her pursuer and find what she is desperately searching for? Don't tread on the cracks. If you tread on a crack, it could be him.

A heart-stopping and suspenseful thriller for older children, full of fabulous, funny and unforgettable characters, from acclaimed author Julia Donaldson.

Members Reviews:

Perfect read for teenagers

'Running on the Cracks' is the Acadamy award nominee, Julia Donaldson's first novel for teenagers.

When Leo's parents tragically die in a plane crash and things aren't going well at her new home with her auntie and uncle, Leo runs away to discover her long lost family in Glasgow. Through her discovery she is not only reunited with family members but makes very special friends who she soon considers her new family.

This is a perfect novel for teenagers as it covers such important subjects such as death, mental illness, sexual abuse, neglect, friendship, family and child safety.

The part that resonates most with me and I hope it does with teenagers too, is when Leo is encouraged to let her family know she is safe. Leo is so scared she will be made to go back to live with her aunt and uncle, where it is unsafe. There is an anonymous number she can call to explain her circumstances and to state she is safe which enables steps to be put in place to protect her and promote her care.

Julia Donaldson also mentions Aberlour Child Care Trust in her novel. They are Scotlands largest children's charity and the only charity providing a refuge for young runaways in Scotland. This is what I love about 'Running on the cracks', not only is it a thrilling, well executed and heart warming novel it has such important messages running throughout that are vital to our children's future and wellbeing.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free ARC in return for an honest review.

Running on the Cracks

Running on the Cracks, by Julia Donaldson

Rating: 3-ish/5

My Summary: Leo is scared. She's not quite sure what to think of her kooky uncle anymore, and she doesn't want to take chances. What if he does something to her... Leo runs away. She goes in search of her grandparents, her only living relatives. She accidentally gets her photo in the newspaper, and had to hide. She meets a boy named Finlay, who seems to be the one who's going to put an end to her new freedom... at first anyway. But then Finlay becomes a friend to Leo, and he becomes her key to staying away from her uncle. Leo will do anything to keep from being found and being sent back there. She ends up staying with a crazy lady who is hospitable enough, but refuses to take her medication and whose friends aren't much better. Then she realizes that her Uncle is on her tail. How will she stay away?

What I thought: Running on the Cracks was an enjoyable read. When I first saw the cover, I imagined an action filled YA novel with a lot of suspense. Although there was suspense, it wasn't anything that got your blood racing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book when I sat down to read it, but I had to be in the right mood to do it.

The Writing: The format of writing was different than I'd read before, but it was very engaging.

Awesome

Absolutely awesome nice twist at the end though with Catherin its nice how they put that Catherin was evil at the end.

I love these books

I love the detail and careful handling of a young audience. These books never talk down to the kids they're aimed at and deal with a lot of important issues that many people experience, whether in their teens or later. No one has to pretend to be tough and I like that. The characters have their flaws and it makes them believable, and people aren't insanely talented and magically more gifted than anyone else.

Publisher's Summary:

Alicia takes on Mission Spalfa: Spanish Alpha!

Back in Spain to visit her relatives, Alicia discovers that Spain's newest pop sensation ¡Ignacio! is searching for a true Spanish beauty to star in his new hit-single video. She can't believe her luck! If Alicia is cast as a true Spanish beauty, Massie will never call her fake-Spanish again. The only trick: She'll have to beat her super-bonita cousins to win the coveted spot. Adios, bimbos!

Members Reviews:

I like Alicia a lot more now, but found the book a bit slow-moving

I absolutely loved Massie's book, but found Dylan's a bit formulaic and dull, so I picked this one up with high hopes but low expectations. To me, this one hit right between Dylan's and Massie's books in pure fun factor - it was enjoyable to read, but I wasn't so into it that I raced to read it instead of doing something else.

Alicia goes to Spain to stay with her cousins and finds out that a hot pop sensation is shooting a music video. He needs to find a true Spanish beauty to star in it, and Alicia and her cousins are all sure they are each going to be that lady!

It was neat getting to see how Alicia's mind works and see her interact with her cousins. I enjoyed that insight and like Alicia a lot more after reading this book - she seems to be slightly more thoughtful in how she relates with others than some of The Clique are, which I appreciate, yet she was still catty and fun to read.

All in all, if you are a fan, read Massie first, skip Dylan, and read this one next. If you haven't read The Clique books yet, start with those - these summer books probably aren't going to win over new fans.

Best of the Summer Collection So Far!!

As for the Summer Series, Massie was pretty good, Dylan was disappointingly not well-written, so I picked up Alicia with some reservation. It was fabuloso times ten!! I loved the story line set in the beautiful five star Hotel Lindo in Spain. We get to know Nina once again- but see a very different view of her from the crush-stealer of Westchester we had previously met. After reading this book, I so heart Alicia, and would love to read more books from her perspective! Alicia is now my favorite member of the Pretty Committee after readng this book- she behaves way bettter than any of the other of the other girls, and it pays off in the end! My only complaint about this book: I wish it had been longer!

Ok.....

It was ok, not my favorite book by Lisi. It is good though you should read it!! Read it it's good!

Great

A definate must read great for a relaxed saturday

You should read this book it is also great because it's part of a series
