Taking This One to the Grave

I finished reading A Winter Wrong by Elizabeth Ann West earlier this morning. It was a very entertaining novella retelling of Pride & Prejudice. However, that's not really what I want to talk about in this post. I want to talk about the book I started reading just this morning, The Perfectionists by Sara Shepard. I've barely started it, but it reminds me a good bit of Sara Shepard's most popular work, Pretty Little Liars. Between watching the DVDs of season 5 of Pretty Little Liars and beginning that book, my mind is full of intrigue. Like Pretty Little Liars, this series begins with a group of girls that share a dark secret. This will be an interesting read, and I can't wait to get further into it. Someone knows their secret and only time will tell who it is and what they decide to do with that information.  

The Dead Speak!

Wow! These girls in Pretty Little Liars are so screwed up! Almost every one of them is delinquent in some way or another. One's a klepto with an eating disorder, another is having a relationship with a teacher, yet another is stealing her sister's serious (and older) boyfriend, and the last one is just trying to get out from under her parents' thumb. She's the only one who isn't doing something she could get in serious trouble for! And is Alison really dead? If so, who is sending the cryptic notes, emails, and text messages? I've got to get the next book in the series so I can find out what happens.
Woo-who! Another Meg Cabot book! The thrid in her Queen of Babble series: Queen of Babble Gets Hitched. I just started it, but I loved the first two! I hope I like this one just as much!

Crying is Good for You

I finished The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks, and as usual with his books I cried like a baby! I'm trying to think of a book of his that I didn't cry while reading, and I can't come up with one. I specifically remember bawling my eyes out while reading A Walk to Remember. The Last Song has to be one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books. I like the fact that it's not a completely depressing ending. Most of his books are that way in the end, bittersweet. I do hate the fact that I couldn't stop picturing the actors from the movie as the characters because I really don't think they match-up too well with the book descriptions. I feel that way about some books, but others don't bother me.
Since I finished The Last Song Saturday night, I'm already halfway through my next book, Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. It's the first in the series, and yes, it's what the ABC Family TV series is based on. I have to tell you, though, that I've had this book for awhile, before there was anything about a TV series. So far, I'm really enjoying the book. I'm already halfway through this book and I only started reading it yesterday morning. These girls are seriously flawed, but that makes for a good story!
