So most of you wish to be Katniss:

which I get, because she's awesome, but I don't think I have her guts and I would not like to be a participate in those types of games. LOVE THE BOOKS, can't wait for both the conclusion and the movie.

Hermione was the second pick:
I can identify more with her because of her bookish qualities, but I'm not sure I'd want to go up against the deadly wizard of all times, even I was a smarty pants.

Actually, while I adore all these characters, I'm not sure I'd be as brave as they are. They all still rock and I think they're awesome characters.

Spotted: Lemonade Mouth to hit the big screen

According to EW, this could be the next big thing...

I confess I've never read this book, but it goes out fairly often at the library and the cover's interesting.

What do you think?

Review: Runaway

Em is in hiding, not because she wants to be, but because Brandon Stark forced her to go with him to his beach house. Now the paparazzi are declaring them lovebirds when Em can't stand the sight of the boy. She's plotting her escape, when Christopher shows up to rescue her. Only Em won't leave without the real Niki Howard and her family.

Niki Howard hates Em and wants her body back. Both of them just barely survived the first operation, but she doesn't care about that. She just wants to be pretty again and she has no desire to go anywhere with Em.

Christopher's not about to give up, he brought reinforcements. He's going to need a plan in a hurry if he wants to save Em from Stark Enterprises. Em's not about to let Niki keep her secret on the Stark Enterprises - it's the one piece of news that could set her free and able to live her normal life. If only she can gather proof and if only Christopher wasn't fighting mad at her, life would be perfect...

My Thoughts: I LOVED this book. I liked how it ended the series and tied everything up. I loved how this series was a little bit different, a little more sci-fi but yet with all the traditional Meg Cabot qualities - funny, romance, and friendship.

Cover: Great, a little bit on intrigue, plus it blends with the other two covers.

Mysterious Saturday Review: Cook the Books

Chloe’s still reeling from her breakup with chef boyfriend Josh, who moved to Hawaii . She misses him something fierce, but the new addition to her BFFs family helps ease the pain a little. Although she know needs to find a part time job to pay for all the baby items for Patrick.

She finds the perfect job, helping to organize a cookbook of Boston restaurants with the son of a famous chef. Chloe hears that Digger, Josh’s friend, has a new restaurant opening soon. She volunteers to call him and set up a tasting with her boss and his father.

When Chloe arrives at Digger’s apartment for the tasting a little bit early to help set up, she discovers a fire truck blocking her way. Digger’s apartment building set on fire, with him trapped inside. At first, it looks like an accident, but the more Chloe talks to other chefs for the cookbook, the more she uncovers.

When Josh shows up to find answers, Chloe finds herself in hot water. On one hand, she’s so happy to see him, but so angry with him for leaving. Does he have the best intentions or will she be setting herself up for another heartbreak?

Could Chloe be engaging with a killer who wants to advance in the chef world or could it be a woman wronged out for revenge? Will she uncover the truth before she says too much to the wrong person?

My thoughts: The fifth book in the Gourmet Girl series(a mother-daughter author team) mixes murder, romance, jobs and friendships with food, lots of food. I like how this one covers more relationships while the murder seems to take a backseat. I love food books, but they always make me hungry.

The Cover: Nice, I do love the deadly food type covers
