... Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl by Rachel Renee Russell! :) I have already read the first one, so if you guys want, you can start from the beginning. :) I hope you enjoy this tween novel! :) Settled in at her new school and flanked by awesome friends Chloe and Zoey, life is looking up for Nikki Maxwell, especially since her crush, Brandon, asked her to be his lab partner—a seriously awesome development. However, when Nikki overhears mean girl Mackenzie bragging that Brandon’s taking her to the Halloween dance, a bummed Nikki signs on to spend Halloween at a kids’ party with her little sister, Brianna, instead. After she finds out Mackenzie was lying and her dream of going to the party with Brandon could be a reality, Nikki has two events to juggle . . . plus plenty of other entertaining trials and tribulations along the way!

You want to join the Summer of Great Reading? Think your late! Don't worry! :) It's not too late to join the summer of great reading on the one and only http://thereviewchronicles.weebly.com/ Join today, and start YOUR summer of great reading! :) We're already on our eighth book, which is Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah Mlynowski! :) Join today - and make your summer amazingly book-tastic! :)
... the long awaited to-read Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have)! :) I can't wait to read this book, because Sarah Mlynowski is an amazing author. You guys know how much I love Gimme a Call, and so I can't wait to read Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have)! One thing you should do - is pick up this book because it's Book # 8 in the Summer of Great Reading on TheReviewChronicles' site. It's never too late to join! 2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house – parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.
If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them. In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time. I am sure that you guys are all super-psyched for this amazing new show to come from the creators of this summer`s hottest teen-thriller-drama-romance-and-more - Pretty Little Liars! Now comes an amazing new show called The Lying Game, based on the books by the creator of Pretty Little Liars - Sara Shepard! :) How awesome is that?! Here below are three behind-the-scenes look at the cast of The Lying Game as they talk about their T.V. show, the original book their T.V. show is based on, and fashion! :) Enjoy! School may be out - but these shows are not! The hip new shows from ABC Family will not disappoint! Why you ask? Because The Lying Game, the best-selling hit novel from the one-and-only teen-thriller-drama author Sara Shepard! I personally cannot wait! :) I love PLL, and am obsessed with it (can you see a Jason+Aria in the future? Cause I can! :P) But some are not tuning in to The Lying Game. We have some mixed reviews.... This show will definitely be a great one. But mind you, this show will be different from the book series, as the stars of The Lying Game T.V. show will point out - and has been pointed out. Starting with the plot. An example is that in the book Sutton and Emma never met, but they do in the T.V. show. Some think it is enough for a no-show on August 15th, 2011 at 9/8c, when The Lying Game will premiere on ABC Family. All I hope is that it is going to be a great one, and I am pretty sure it will be! :) I do not think the creators of Pretty Little Liars will disappoint, since we have not been disappointed by Pretty Little Liars! The show follows Emma, a kind-hearted foster kid who learns she has an identical twin sister, Sutton. Sutton, unlike Emma, was adopted by wealthy parents and is seemingly living an ideal life. After their initial meeting, Sutton talks Emma into stepping into her life for a few days while she pursues a lead on the mysterious identity of their birth mother. After Sutton inexplicably fails to return to the girls’ designated meeting place, Emma must decide whether to come clean about her identity and risk her own safety in the hope of uncovering her twin sister's whereabouts, along with the truth about why they were separated in the first place. ...Nevermore by Kelly Creagh! It is utterly amazing - and a whopper of pages (but not as much as the Harry Potter books). 543 pages is how many pages it has - so take your time getting through this one, my fellow readers (if you are following TheReviewChronicles "Summer of Great Reading!" :) Don't forget to check back for updates! Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.
Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares. His life depends on it. ...Almost to Die For by Tate Hallaway! (Hope you guys are not getting tired of this just yet.) I like this book so far, and I hope it is going to be a good read! :) Hope all you book-tastic readers are having a blast with our summer reading list (pick the books you want to read from there) or even make your own! :) So hope you guys are enjoying, and till next time! On her sixteenth birthday, Anastasija Parker learns that her so-called deadbeat dad is actually a vampire king. And he wants Ana to assume her rightful position at his side, in spite of the fact that she has witch's blood running through her veins-from her mother's side.
Too bad witches and vampires are mortal enemies. And now Ana's parents are at each other's throats over her future. It's up to Ana to make a choice, but deciding your eternal destiny is a pretty big deal for a girl who just wants to get through high school. ~ This is the print version of the groundbreaking online interactive serial LOSER/QUEEN that premiered in July 2010 on www.loserqueen.com.

Loser/Queen by Jodi Lynn Anderson! If you guys were a part of the amazing movement held aat LoserQueen.com, then congratulations, because Loser/Queen is now a book! So far, I think it's going to be a good read, and I hope that comes true! :) The Summer of Great Reading is going great, and if you guys are reading anything, and would like to recommend to usfor our summer reading, feel free too! We're always looking for new, fresh books to read! :) I am also going to put the book trailer beneath, so that you awesome readers can watch! :) Cammy Hall is what anyone would describe as a loser. She lives with her grandparents and has adopted their way of life… right down to the comfortable shoes and early bedtime. And can she help it that she actually likes to knit? At school, her skills with knitting needles and some yarn go completely unappreciated: people like Bekka Bell reign while Cammy and her best friend, the fearless Danish exchange student Gerdi, watch from the sidelines. Cammy's used to being an outsider; after years of humiliating moments, her goal is simply to fly under the radar. Then she suddenly starts receiving mysterious text messages that lead her right to all the embarrassing secrets about the most popular kids in school. Cammy never expected to be able to climb up the high school food chain, and the agenda of the texter may be questionable-but how can she possibly give up the chance to be Queen? OH MY KELLEY! Kelly Armstrong has really outdone herself with her book! I cannot WAIT to read her next book in the Darkness Rising Series, which is called The Calling. I really love the cover, how about you guys? I like this cover better than the last one, because I can see Maya`s face. What I like is that Kelley Armstrong`s titles are the stages of what they go through. I cannot explain Maya`s stages, because it will ruin the story, but for her last series called The Darkest Powers series, that I can explain. Her titles are The Summoning, The Awakening, and The Reckoning. These are the stages. :) Cool, huh?
...The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong! YAY! :) Cannot wait to read this one. I started it and the prologue just captured my attention. I hope it's going to be as good as The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong from The Darkest Powers series! :) Below are two different book trailers! Tell us which trailer you like the best in the comments. Enjoy! Maya lives in a small medical-research town on Vancouver Island. How small? You can’t find it on the map. It has less than two-hundred people, and her school has only sixty-eight students–for every grade from kindergarten to twelve. Now, strange things are happening in this claustrophobic town, and Maya’s determined to get to the bottom of them. First, the captain of the swim team drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. A year later, mountain lions start appearing around Maya’s home, and they won’t go away. Her best friend, Daniel, starts experiencing “bad vibes” about certain people and things. It does’t help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret…and he’s interested in one special part of Maya’s anatomy: Her paw-print birthmark. |
