Promises, Promises by L.J. Baker --- Book 3

Promises, Promises by L. J. Baker is a lesbian book, so it may not be your cup of tea. It isn't that bad though - I'm not a lesbian and I really rather enjoyed it! There is no sex in the book! (Thank goodness, because many lesbian literature contains this, and I'm not quite sure I'm ready for that yet. I don't even like sex in regular books). It's also a very humor-filled and cutesy book.

Promises, Promises stars a girl named Sandy. Sandy falls in to love with every beautiful girl that she meets. This will be her downfall in the very soon future. 

Sandy and her mom own a store that Sandy keeps up with - although it is not doing very well. Her plain friend, Ruth, and her crazy 'frienemy', Drusilla, come over often to talk to Sandy.

One day, a beautiful girl comes into Sandy's shop. Sandy falls head-over-heels in love with her, and tells the beautiful girl her "fortune/future" (although Sandy made everything up because she can't REALLY tell the future), even though it is against the law. Drusilla tries warning Sandy about this girl, but Sandy ignores her, thinking that she is being her normal crazy self.

Sandy soon comes to find out that the girl she told the future to was the Princess and guards come to arrest her for telling the future of the Princess. Drusilla soon comes to Sandy's rescue, before she is beheaded, and tells the King that these were but 'Promises' Sandy made to the Princess.

Now Sandy must go out on an adventure to make sure all of the promises come true for the Princess by a year or Ruth and Sandy's mother will be killed! 

50 Books - Summer Challenge!

This summer - since I have time on my hands instead of schoolwork - I will be reading 50 random books of my choice (hopefully I will get it all done! I at least expect to do 30). I was planning on doing only banned books, but I want to read many different types of books so they may or may not be banned as well as random.

These are the books I have lined up so far :

1. Stranger at Wildings by Madeleine Brent
2. Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan(2nd book of Forest of Hands and Teeth Series)
3. Promises, Promises by L.J. Baker
4. Minions of the Moon by William Gray Beyer
5. Star Cursed by Jessica Spotswood (2nd book of The Cahill Witch Chronicles, To Be Released on June 18th!)

If there are any suggestions, by all means - suggest!

The Princess & The Hound

Hello Everyone!!

I decided to have a blog on books I REALLY REALLY like or REALLY REALLY DISlike so that anyone knows whether or not to buy/read the book.

The first book i am going to start off with is 'The Princess and the Hound' by Mette Ivie Harrison.

I was encouraged to start this blog because of this author. She also has a website full of her recommendations on books that she likes, and I thought that was a really good idea!!

Here is her website. (not a very good layout, but I love her still!)

So here it is. The review.

This book was amazing. I LOVED IT. It is definitely a different kind of book, and I can't wait to read the other two in the series.

First of all, not many animal books are that good to me. But a couple of books that I have read with animals are really good! And this author can really write!!

This book stars the character Prince George. It starts with his childhood where he and you are first introduced to 'animal magic', which is what few people have in this books world. 'Animal magic' is when people can talk to animals, but people who don't have animal magic are scared of people who do have it, so there is much controversy in this book between the two types of people.

And then the book goes on to his later life where he must marry a princess to have a peace treaty with the other kingdom. The princess in this book also has secrets of her own...

All in all, this is a awesome book. It takes only a couple of days, or not even if you have a few hours of time. It's 410 pages.

I would say that this is a preteen book, but even older teens and adults would love this (I'm 20 and lovin' it).

Have fun readers!
