Hidden Gem by India Lee

    Hidden Gem by India Lee is a book about a high school girl who is secretly an international pop star who goes by the name Queen Bee. No one knows Queen Bee's true identity except her family and her make up artists. After Queen Bee finished her European tour she moves in with her Aunt and brother to start high school as a normal teenage girl. High school starts out great when Gemma finds herself hanging out with the popular crowd but things don't quite go as plan and Gemma wants to reveal her secret. To add stress to her situation Tyler Chase another pop star declares his love for Queen Bee even though he doesn't know her true identity.
 
    I loved this book! A friend recommended it to me a couple months ago and I finally got it on my Kindle and it was a great decision. Currently the book is free on Kindle so I recommend downloading it. It does remind me a little of Hannah Montana but better. I enjoyed the storyline and did not find it as a rip off of Hannah Montana it was different. The only main similarity between Hannah Montana and Hidden Gem series is that the main character is a teenage girl who is secretly a pop star. I don't want to send repetitive but go download it and let me know what you think!

Startled By His Furry Shorts by Louise Rennison

   Startled By His Furry Shorts is book number seven in Louise Rennison's series Confessions of Georgia Nicolson. I first heard about the books from my roommate in college. We were at her house and there was this movie on TV called Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging that she insisted we watched because she read the book and thought it was good. I, of course, could not move past the title and kept asking her what kind of weird movie is this. In the end she was right, the book and movie were both really good. A couple years later I saw the movie on TV again and decided to read the books and they are so funny. I warn you that for some people they can be a bit much because the main character Georgia Nicolson is 15 so she talks like a teenager and she's a bit weird so she does very odd things but overall I really enjoy reading the books. I also feel like I must add that her family is absolutely mad and she lives in the UK so when I read these books I always read them with an English accent... maybe I'm the weird one....

    It's sort of a long series there are ten books that I know of but they are such an easy read you can get through it pretty fast and the cliff hanger at the end has you reaching for the next book. In this book Georgia tells the new guy in her life that he has to choose to be her girlfriend or not. He says he needs to think about it and will get back to her. Meanwhile her feelings for an old friend become more confusing. Does her new guy want to be her boyfriend or will she go after an old friend? What will she do?

Hot Six by Janet Evanovich

    I feel like every time I read one of these books that it's better than the last and this one is no exception. Highly entertaining and the mystery of who did it keeps you wanting more. Not to mention the steamy parts between Stephanie and Joe or in some cases Stephanie and Ranger.

    In Hot Six by Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum is looking for her next FTA but to her surprise the one that she needs to look for is Ranger who was arrested after leaving a building where someone murdered a guy then set the building on fire. With Ranger being the only suspect Stephanie is trying to clear his name but of course not without getting herself in a bit of trouble... well actually a lot of trouble. Let's hope she's tough enough to get out of this mess!

The Boy Next Door by Meggin Cabot

    First off I just can't believe that I haven't posted anything since January and it's now March. I fall behind all the time I really need to work on that but even though I haven't been blogging doesn't mean I haven't been reading. Over the next couple of days I am going to write a blog post for all the books I have read but never blogged about. So let's get started with book number one...

    The Boy Next Door by Meggin Cabot was a good story line but the way it was written was a bit annoying. The whole book is a series of emails which part of it is cool because you got to see every characters point of view but also annoying because it's not just written like usual. I liked that it was a bit different but yet at times it was frustrating. I'm so on the fence about this one... I hope I am making some kind of sense if not then this is not a good start to blogging again.

    The story line of the book is that the main character, Melanie, has an old lady neighbor who she knows and is friendly with and one day Melanie finds her unconscious on the floor and she calls police. They think that it was a break in or possibly this serial killer who has been killing all around town but the neighbor isn't dead she is just unconscious so the police are unsure what happened. The neighbor has pets so Melanie takes care of them but then she get overwhelmed with them and calls the neighbor's nephew to come take care of the pets. The nephew is suppose to move in to his aunt's apartment but he doesn't want to so he calls in a favor from a college buddy who then goes to NYC and pretends to be the nephew of the old lady neighbor.... That's all I will say about that because I do not want to give anything away.
