    Ella Enchanted

    By: Gail Carson Levine

    Ella is cursed. This is the classic story of Cinderella, except this version isn’t so classic. There are still the wicked stepsisters and there’s the fairy godmother and prince, but one major thing is added: Ella has been cursed to obey everyone’s orders. She has no choice. If she were told to jump off a bridge, she would have to do it. In order to get out from under this curse before she is killed by it, Ella must find her prince! But will she find him before time runs out?

    Sucks to be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire

    By: Kimberly Pauley

    Mina Hamilton is just like any other 16-year-old girl. She is faced with the decision to choose between staying a human and becoming a vampire like her parents. Hold up, that is sooo not what an average teenager’s life is like! Anyway, Mina goes to normal high school, but she also takes vampire classes. Double the school? That already sounds like torture! Add to it the fact that her parents are pressuring her to become a vampire and she has to deal with her crushes. Life can be tough for a normal girl, but it definitely seems like it’s tougher for this kind of chica.

The sequal to The Secret Languge of Girls is The Kind of Friends we Used to Be. Both are really good. So is Ella Enchnted, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (you'll want to find a magical pair of pants afterward, no joke), Princess Diaries is cute (and i am undenibly in LOVE with the movie)

I happen to LOVE Catching Jordan by: Miranda Kenneally! I've read it like three times over the past two months and finished it in like a day and a half!! I think GL had an article on it a while back like in December! I also LOVE the Hex Hall Trilogy though I can't remember who it's by!! Love The Statistical Probobility of Love at First Sight! Love The Daughters books by Joanna Philbin daughter of Regis Philbin former morining TV show host! Though I really want to read the Matched Trilogy or at least the first one! If anyone knows how the two out now are feel free to comment on my profile!

The first one looks interesting, maybe I will read it this summer. I hope to get a few other books on amazon.com before we go on vacation. I loved The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
