Review: The Mother-Daughter Book Club - Book #1 MD BC -Heather Vogel Frederick - April 2007
What mischief can occur when a group of mothers who all share the same Yoga Class and most of them have been friends since their children were babies. Now their daughters are 12yrs old and growing up fast and so they decide to start a Mother-Daughter book club. The mothers though they may be friends and their daughters once were, are about to learn that they now move in different circles.  In the group we have Emma and her mother - the local Librarian , Jess whose father - a goat farmer attends the first session as Jess's mum is a big Hollywood star and is currently starring on a TV soap opera.  Megan - now one of the popular girls and richest girls in the town and her mum - a Charity Philanthropic due to her husband's invention which skyrocketed through the roof with sales and Cassidy - a sports nut and her mother Sloane- a former model.  The girls are reluctantly pulled along to the first meetings and the ones that follow and are being forced to read "Little Women" as Louisa May Alcott was raised in the town that they reside in.  Can the Mothers band together and bring to their daughters, not only their love of books but the true meaning of friendships.
When reading this book, I was in two minds as to whether it would be childish but then I picked it up as I loved the concept of bookgroups and I loved it. I can't wait now to read the remaining books in the series by Heather Vogel Frederick, and the coolest thing is that they each feature a different book and are scattered with facts about the author that they are reading about.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
