The Secret

So I Started Reading Life by Committee by Corey Ann Haydu...

Life by Committee
"I rush at him. Forget about my hair. Climb onto his lap. And dive at his mouth.
I keep one hand wrapped around my phone. I can't let it go. I can't let go. I want to be only in this moment, but right outside this moment, visible even from the gooey, sweet center of it, are Sasha Cotton and my Assignment and the fact that everyone hates me and that my parents both have hoarse voices from all the yelling. It's a crowded view, and impossible to ignore. The kissing is beautiful, but everything else we have to contend with is neon and unrelenting and loud."
I feel for this girl, I really do. Life by Committee is real and interesting. The main girl Tabitha has lost pretty much everybody that used to be important to her in a matter of months, all because she started growing up in ways her friends didn't agree with. Because of this, because she feels lonely and lost, she starts making bad decisions and looking for love in all the wrong places. There's slut shaming in this book, just because this girl is a little on the hot side and wants to explore her sexuality (by this I mean she flirts, that's it since she is a virgin) everybody around her little town goes crazy and wants to brand her with their own version of a scarlet A. She finds a place online where she can vent about her problems, where she can be honest, with people that push her to do things she might have never considered before. This is Life by Committee.

I am really enjoying it. I started it today and am already on page 255. I guess it's the kind of book that makes you think. I am feeling for this girl, but I really hope she doesn't make a stupid decision that might cost her everything.

Recent YA Releases: Week of March 10th-March 16th

I wish I had five pairs of eyes, so all of them could read at the same time. That way I would MAYBE get ahead of my TBR pile JUST ONCE #BookwormFail Here are eight titles that release today, or are going to be released within the next week: If you are looking for sequels...          I   Sequel to Gates of Thread and Stone   I  Sequel to  White Space   I   The Agency Series Book #4   I Sequel to Tandem   I have been eagerly waiting for Tandem 's sequel, Tether , for what it feels like lifetimes now ( Many worlds. Many lives--infinite possibilities) . Tandem was a very nice surprise to me so I am hoping Tether is just as good, if not better (infinite universes, romance, adventure, action!). The Infinite is another I have queued up in my Kindle, as well as The Dicken's Mirror ( White Space was such a weird, yet interesting, read; a story within a story within a story...). I have let the series The Agency go, last book ...

Which Fictional Hottie-from-a-book Team do you Support?

Have I told you guys how totally in love I am with  I'm Loving Books.com ? The admin, Sarah, creates the best mini banners out there (I have some under my Favorite Series column). She also came up with Team Stickers for a lot of different series, including The Iron Fey, Morganville Vampires, The Vampire Diaries, The Hunger Games, etc. I don't know about you, but I personally  love them ! Talking about taking sides is easy, but are you ready to commit and get a Team Sticker to prove your loyalty? I know I am! Delirium So Alex stole my heart in Delirium, and I am not about to let him go and forget about him just because yummy Julian decided to make an appearance. I will admit Julian's scenes with Lena in  Pandemonium  were hot, but my heart belongs to Alex. The Hunger Games In the books I usually go for the dark and handsome type, but Peeta is just something else. He can really steal your heart (and then maybe disguise it into some sort of pastry and make you eat it). ...
