Weekly Recap 8/15/10

This is two weeks of recap because I was on vacation last weekend and forgot to post!

Books Read:

Lies (Gone, Bk 3) by Michael Grant – It took me a little while to get back in to the FAYZ, but after 100 pages, I couldn’t stop reading!  I really like this series and can’t wait for the next book.

Sea by Heidi R. Kling – I really wanted to like this more than I did.  Sienna (Sea) was very childish and selfish, which got old pretty fast.  Her “romance” with Deni was too fast and ridiculous.  The decisions she made in a foreign country were just plain stupid and made me wish she’d faced some consequences.  I liked the parts when she was at the orphanage interacting with the orphans that weren’t Deni.

The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, and June by Robin Benway – This was cute.  By the end of the book, I really like all three sisters.  The beginning was slow, and I felt like the premise was better than the actual plot and a lot more could have been explained.  The girls’ “superpowers” were pretty cool and I liked how they fit with each personality.
