Friction



The story of Alex, an early-teenage girl, who be-friends the outcast new girl in class, Stacey. But when the new girl decides to tell a few stories about her and her teacher, Simon, tension in the school becomes sharp. Alex decides to find out her back story and discovers a truth too startling for words.
This intense story makes you want to keep turning the page to see what happens next. Even though the vocabulary and usage of language could be better, the storyline is too good to put it on the shelf.

A disaster that effects cell phones and turns people using their cell phones into flesh eating zombies. Trapped in Boston the cartoon artist and a group of friends must survive to escape the city and find out who is responsible for this disaster. Cell is a excellent read for those who are into Stephen King books. Also if you like horror books Cell provides many suspenseful chapters that keep you guessing till the very end. Cell is a must read for all fans of horror and Stephen King.

Dirtier Than Ever

Autho Vickie M Stringer
This books is the sequel to Dirty Red and Still Dirty. This book is about a gold digger named red who learned at an early age that men were nothing but dogs. so she used her body to get what ever she wanted out of any man. she came across some men in the books and they all are out to get revenge on her in the third book. she leaves men hanging when they get locked up in jail and in the end she is the one who pays for all of it. All the men she did wrong come back to haunt her and they take there revenge.

The Men and the Girls


The novel was written by Joanna Trollope, a popular writer in England who's books usually cover topics about relationships. In The Men and the Girls, Trollope uncovers the lives of two men in their sixties who are in long term relationships with women half their own age. While one man, Hugh, is dealing with the decline of his career, he is not certain how to deal with the fact that his new younger wife is now becoming the financial supporter of the family. Hugh's best friend James is also having troubles with his younger partner Kate who is becoming restless and ready to end their eight year relationship. Overall the novel is compelling and keeps the reader interested and intrigued through out the story. I recommend this book to anyone interested in stories of love and life.

The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint


The first thing to catch a readers attention in this book is that the character is not typical, not attempting to be normal in any way. Imogene grew up with hippie parents who were complete stoners, so she learned to avoid police and never trust 'The Man'. She begins a new school, this time, deciding to clean up her act after parting from her previous gang. Imogene befriends Maxine, bonding as outcasts. Maxine with her straight A's rubs off on Imogene, but at the same time Imogene teaches her to be more of herself and stand up for herself. Then, things start to become weird, Imogen talkes with a ghost, Adrian, who just so happens to know some local fairies, and wants to convince Imogene they're real. Inadvertently this brings Imogene to the attention of the Anathimin...the soul suckers. From that point on the story begins a quirky but interesting adventure to rid her of them.
