Summary (From Meg Cabot's website): "Things aren't pretty for Emerson Watts"

There's no escape

When everyone is watching you.

Emerson Watts was pretty sure there couldn't be anything worse than being a straight A student whose brain had been transplanted into the body of a teenage supermodel.
But it turned out she was wrong.

Because that supermodel could turn out to have a mother who's mysteriously gone missing, a brother who's shown up on her doorstep demanding answers, ex-boyfriends crawling out of the woodwork who want more than just a photo op, and a British heartthrob who's written a song about her that's topping the charts.

How can Em balance all that with school, lingerie runway shows, and weekend jaunts to St. John—especially when she's got final exams; a sister who is headed to the high school cheerleading championships; a former best friend, Christopher, who's intent on destroying Stark
Enterprises to avenge the death of his lost love; and a company she represents that seems to be turning to the dark side...

But then, nobody said it was going to be easy, being Nikki.

Wdebo's Review: Woohoo, I was so happy when I got this book. I totally worshipped and adored Airhead. Em is totally real, but now she's getting a little supermodel-y. I guess that's what she gets from being in Nikki's body for too long. The last turn of events in the end totally made me want to read the sequal (or as all the other reviewers call it the "promised sequal".)

Pro: Come on it's Meg Cabot you know exactly what I am going to say for the "pros" her writing is so great it can turn any book hating teen to love YA books. Her writing is sarcastical (so are her characters), it's just adorably/cliche-ly funny and just the sweetest thing you read. (Except for the ending which totally made me angry because now I REALLY need to read the sequal).

Con: The ending makes me need to read the sequal!! [I can't stand not knowing what happens]. Also, the only reason I liked the beginning was because I was excited to find out what was going to happen I didn't think it was as good as Airhead in the beginning but it did get better!

Favorite Character: Chris-need I say more, cute and geeky, my kind of guy lol. He is just so loving of Em (as you find out in the story). He just raised my BF standard more. Yes, I am a Fictional boy lover and I'm damn proud of it!

All in all, if you loved Airhead get ready to go out bright and early tomorrow to buy it, u won't be disappointed!!

Honey and Clover <3

Aw this drama makes me all tingly with SWEETNESS!!

So the summary is from DramaWiki

A drama adaptation from a hot selling comic. It is a story that portrays how 5 ardent youths from University of the Arts face love, friendship, and the future.

The 5th year architecture student Zhen Shan (Joe Cheng), who is gentle and soft on the inside holds a torch for Li Hua (Su Hui Lun), a lady boss of an architectural firm. At the same time, he becomes aware that his best friend, Ya Gong (Janine Chang) is also having a single-sided adoration for him…
Until the elegant and smart suitor, Ye Feng (Chen Yu Fan) appears, Ya Gong then realizes that she and Zhen Shan are the same. Both unable to respond to the affection given by other’s while being caught in the first love of their life…

A simple and honest person, architecture student Zhu Ben (Li Guo Yi), falls in love at first sight with the niece of Teacher Xiu Shi (Zhang Han), Xiao Yu (Yi Teng Qian Huang) who is a Fine Arts freshman. Zhu Ben’s 7th year senior, Chang Lin Tian (Peng Hu Yan) also falls for Xiao Yu at the same time. With regard to love, being young and ignorant, both have different attitudes and correspondence. But both have an unbeatable sincerity. In a friendship as sweet as honey, there are also many sour and puckery sides to the aporia of a one-sided love.

I started watching this show because of Joe, but then I kept on watching it because it is amazing. (I just haven't been able to watch more because I am very busy.) There is something about it that is Taiwanese Drama-ish but not at the same time. It's really funny, but everytime I start watching it, it feels like a treat (Literally). It was very sweet and funny and all of the actors played their parts amazingly. They really got the hang of the characters and they are just funny and GREAT!!

Hope you can enjoy it!! And remember to comment!

Envy: A Luxe Novel

Title: Envy: A Luxe Novel
Author: Anna Godbersen
HARDBACK
Amount of Pages: 405
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publishing Year: 2009
Extra Info: The Luxe series has four books. The first one is The Luxe, the second is Rumors, third is Envy and fourth is Splendor.

"JEALOUS WHISPERS

OLD RIVALRIES

NEW BETRAYALS"

"Always stay sharp on railways and cruise ships, for transit has a way of making everything clear"

Summary (From Front flap): Two months after Elizabeth Holland's dramatic homecoming. Manhattan eagerly awaits her return to the pinnacle of society. When Elizabeth refuses to rejoin her sister Diana's side, however, those watching New York's favorite family begin to suspect that all is not as it seems behind the stately doors of No. 17 Gramercy Park South.

Farther uptown, Henry and Penelope Schoonmaker are the city's most celebrated couple. But despite the glittering diamond ring on Penelope's finger, the newlyweds share little more than scorn for each other. And while the newspapers call Penelope's social-climbing best friend, Carolina Broad, an heiress, her fortune-and her fame-are anything but secure, especially now that one of society's darlings is slipping tales to the eager press.

Wdebo's Review: Oh my god!! I screamed when I saw Envy on my hold shelf!!! I was so excited and it totally held my attention. I loved it but hated the ending. What another cliffhanger??!!! I totally can't wait for Splendor. (When does it come out??!)

Isn't the cover just BEAUTIFUL? I love The Luxe series' cover. This is totally how I pictured Diana and for Rumors how I pictured Penelope, except in The Luxe, doesn't Elizabeth look a bit meanier then she is written about? I just love the dresses they are so pretty!!

The Hollands are... the "main characters" right? Cuz the story goes around their story. But I find them eeh. I don't like them that much Elizabeth sounds very whinny and Diana even though she's strong doesn't follow her heart a lot. Uh yeah.

Favorite Character...Please don't hurt me, but my favorite character is Lina-excuse me- Carolina Broad. I have no idea why she's my favorite character, she's just always been since the first book. I always cheer for her, maybe it's becuase I always want the underdogs to succed.

The writing is...Great!! I love her writting, it's so modern but it is so well written and it totally sucks you in!

All in all, if you are a Luxe lover remember to pick this book up! If you aren't it's never to late to begin reading it!!

Dead Girl Dancing By: Linda Joy Singleton

Title: Dead Girl Dancing
Author: Linda Joy Singleton
PAPERBACK
Amount of Pages: 259
Publisher: Flux
Publishing Year: 2009
Geared Towards: Teens
Extra Info: This book is part of the "Dead Girl" series, the first book is Dead Girl Walking, the third one coming in the summer is Dead Girl In Love

"I can't believe I'm in the wrong body-again!!

Memo to self: Never make a promise to a dead grandmother"

Summary (From B.O.B): Apparently, this freaky phenomenon of stepping into someone's life-and their body-has a name: Temp Lifer. And when my grandmother heaped on the praise for a job well done last time, I sort of let it happen again. (GRRR...thanks, Grammy.)

So now I'm hungover and gazing in the mirror at...my boyfreind's older sister, who is getting ready to go wild on spring break-while being pursued by a psycho stalker and a Dark Lifer. Help!

Wdebo's Review: Hurray! Another "Dead Girl" book Spring Break edition. I was totally ready for this one after the giant cliffhanger from the first one! (And there's ANOTHER one in this one). Amber is back being the needy-strong girl she is and Eli is back being the strong-nerdy-protector he is.

What's not to love about "Dead Girl"? It has EVERYTHING: romance, body switching, zombies and action!

Pro: The writing was amazing as per usual. The humor was subtle but there. Quite...interesting characters. And I always say this, but it was cliche (That is a total pro to me) I guessed the ending after a bit of reading but I still loved it. Cuz everyone needs a little sweetness in their life right?

Con: Sometimes Amber just annoys me, she gets into some situtaions that if she just thought for a bit longer she wouldn't have gotten into the first place!!!

Favorite Character: Eli-haha I always fall in love with the guy. Yes, Eli is amazing and sweet and totally cares for Amber!! Squeel!! Why isn't the world filled with guys like that?!

All in all, for lovers of the first book cheer now cuz it's another one and also as great as the first!!

Grade: B++
