Synopsis:  The first ten lies they tell you in high school.

"Speak up for yourself—we want to know what you have to say."

From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, outcast, because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, she becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether. Only her art class offers any solace, and it is through her work on an art project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party: she was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. Her healing process has just begun when she has another violent encounter with him. But this time Melinda fights back, refuses to be silent, and thereby achieves a measure of vindication.

In Laurie Halse Anderson's powerful novel, an utterly believable heroine with a bitterly ironic voice delivers a blow to the hypocritical world of high school. She speaks for many a disenfranchised teenager while demonstrating the importance of speaking up for oneself.

Speak was a 1999 National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature.

#BookRecommendation: Tandem (Many-Worlds Trilogy #1) by @ajarzab

This week we have a book that I really hope that someday we get a book three.  This is one of the major things that I do not like about series that you get part of it but then the last one isn't done and the publisher doesn't want to finish it out.  I love this series and found it way late and I hope one day we get to complete it.

Synopsis:  When what you do under the covers lands between them.

**********

What would you do if your weekend tryst turned your encounter into a best-selling novel and movie? 

Well, if you're Trevor Dickson, son of legendary porn stars and a former child actor, you audition for it, of course.

Ryder—Trevor’s go-to alias—helped him maintain a no attachments lifestyle. Not to mention, escape his parents’ infamy . . . and his own. A lifestyle he’d always enjoyed until he spent one amazing weekend with a woman who he wanted to know him as Trevor. 

What better research for an erotic romance novel is there than a weekend of passion using fake names and no phone numbers?

Tangela Webber wanted to be the biggest thing to hit the book world since e-readers. 

Tangie got more than she bargained for. Fame came swiftly, and her debut novel was being made into a movie. She knew her anonymity wouldn’t last forever. She just never expected it to end when her real-life muse walked in to read for the leading role.

Who better to play that part than the original Ryder Hard?

Synopsis:  The rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: when the prince-who-will-be-king comes of age, he must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.

When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, however, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon, or what horrors she has faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome prince, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny to sit on the throne beside him. Ama comes with Emory back to the kingdom of Harding, hailed as the new princess, welcomed to the court.

However, as soon as her first night falls, she begins to realize that not all is as it seems, that there is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows–and that the greatest threats to her life may not be behind her, but here, in front of her.

After the death of her husband, Keely Mack walks away from the wild rush of the pro-surfing world to raise her daughter. Two years later the sea still calls out to her, but she’s not the same reckless girl she once was.

Until the first man to break her heart walks back into her life.

Synopsis:  A dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames. The regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child.

Hours later the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life.

Is it a miracle?

Is it magic?

Or can it be explained by science?

Replete with folklore, suspense and romance, as well as with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age, Once Upon a River is as richly atmospheric as Setterfield’s bestseller The Thirteenth Tale.

Take the journey, find the lock that fits the key and get some damn answers.

Get from point A to point B. Stick to the mapped-out route and take shelter at the pre-planned times. It sounds simple enough, now if only we’d factored in getting attacked by djinn and having to take a detour through The Wilds.
With obstacles at every turn, the last thing the fangs and I need on our arse’s is a new breed of Feral, but it looks like that’s exactly what fate us about to throw at us.
This trip is going to be anything but dull, but with the Fangs as back up, I may just make it to the Bunker in one piece and finally get some answers.
Whoever said road trips were fun can go suck it!

The Vampire Diaries meets The Walking Dead in this Post-Apocalyptic Urban Fantasy with a slow burn Why Choose romance.
