Published: March 11th, 2014
Goodreads Summary:

Contemporary teen fiction with romance, secrets, scandals, and ESP from the author of Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have).

We weren't always like this. We used to be average New York City high school sophomores. Until our homeroom went for flu shots. We were prepared for some side effects. Maybe a headache. Maybe a sore arm. We definitely didn't expect to get telepathic powers. But suddenly we could hear what everyone was thinking. Our friends. Our parents. Our crushes. Now we all know that Tess is in love with her best friend, Teddy. That Mackenzie cheated on Cooper. That, um, Nurse Carmichael used to be a stripper.

Since we've kept our freakish skill a secret, we can sit next to the class brainiac and ace our tests. We can dump our boyfriends right before they dump us. We know what our friends really think of our jeans, our breath, our new bangs. We always know what's coming. Some of us will thrive. Some of us will crack. None of us will ever be the same.
So stop obsessing about your ex. We're always listening.

Review: Being Sloane Jacobs By: Lauren Morrill

Title: Being Sloane Jacobs

Author : Lauren Morrill

Published : January 7th, 2014

Source : Netgalley

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Goodreads Summary:

Meet Sloane Emily Jacobs: a seriously stressed-out figure-skater from Washington, D.C., who choked during junior nationals and isn’t sure she’s ready for a comeback. What she does know is that she’d give anything to escape the mass of misery that is her life.

Now meet Sloane Devon Jacobs, a spunky ice hockey player from Philly who’s been suspended from her team for too many aggressive hip checks. Her punishment? Hockey camp, now, when she’s playing the worst she’s ever played. If she messes up? Her life will be over.

When the two Sloanes meet by chance in Montreal and decide to trade places for the summer, each girl thinks she’s the lucky one: no strangers to judge or laugh at Sloane Emily, no scouts expecting Sloane Devon to be a hero. But it didn’t occur to Sloane E. that while avoiding sequins and axels she might meet a hockey hottie—and Sloane D. never expected to run into a familiar (and very good-looking) face from home. It’s not long before the Sloanes discover that convincing people you’re someone else might be more difficult than being yourself.

My Thoughts:

I was super excited to read this one, I loved her debut Meant To Be, it was so adorable and fun and I was hoping that I loved Being Sloane Jacobs just as much. I didn’t love it as much as Meant To Be but, it was still adorable and fun. It had a movie vibe and you had to suspend a bit of belief and get over the fact that this probably couldn’t happen in real life. But, it was still so much fun.

When 2 Sloane Jacobs have a chance meeting in Canada they changed each other’s summers forever. Sloane Emily is a figure skater who isn’t so sure that going back into competitive figure skating is something she wants to do. Sloane Devon is a ice hockey player who can’t handle the pressure of playing good enough to get into college. They decide to switch places and they each go  to the other’s sports camp for the summer and fun, romance, and lessons are learned.

I loved getting to see each of the girls in the different elements trying to be the other girl because they were complete opposites. They both learned so much about each sport and found so much of themselves through switching places and that made it so much fun.

Overall, Lauren Morrill created another book that gives you the good feelings but, it lacked a bit compared to Meant To Be. If you are looking for a read that makes you feel good, definitely check this one out.

Title: Trial By Fire (Worldwalker Trilogy #1)

Author: Josephine Angelini 

Published: September 2nd 2014

Goodreads Summary:

Love burns. Worlds collide. Magic reigns.

This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. Her life-threatening allergies keep her from enjoying many of the experiences that other teenagers take for granted...which is why she is determined to enjoy her first (and perhaps only) high-school party. But Lily's life never goes according to plan, and after a humiliating incident in front of half her graduating class Lily wishes she could just disappear.

Suddenly Lily is in a different Salem - one overrun with horrifying creatures and ruled by powerful women called Crucibles. Strongest and cruellest of all the Crucibles is Lillian . . . Lily's identical other self in this alternate universe. This new version of her world is terrifyingly sensual, and Lily is soon overwhelmed by new experiences.

Lily realizes that what makes her weak at home is exactly what makes her extraordinary in New Salem. It also puts her life in danger. Thrown into a world she doesn't understand, Lily is torn between responsibilities she can't hope to shoulder alone, and a love she never expected.

But how can Lily be the saviour of this world when she is literally her own worst enemy

Title: Heir Of Fire (Throne Of Glass #3) 
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Published: September 2nd, 2014
Goodreads Summary :

Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien's only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan's Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. 

Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King's Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan's biggest threat - and his own toughest enemy. 

While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies.

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books On My Spring Break TBR list

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, this week's topic is Top Ten Books on my spring break TBR list, I hope to get some more reading done I have honestly had much time to read being in my last semester of college I am basically working two jobs which is part of the reason my post have been so sporadic, hopefully I can get some reading done over break!

1. Side Effects May Vary By: Julie Murphy

I have seen some great reviews for this one and some mixed ones, I can't wait to find out for myself!

2. Salvage By: Alexandra Duncan

I haven't seen a ton of reviews for this one but, on Tea Time the epic reads ladies have called this one feminist sci fi, so I am definitely curious about it!

3. Ask Again Later By: Liz Czukas

I think that this one sounds super adorable! I can't wait to have some fun reading this one.  

4. The Winner's Curse By: Maria Rutkoski

This book is burning a hole in my bookshelf and I am dying to read it, I am a bit hesitant only because I have so many expectations and I am afraid that  I am going to be disappointed. 

5. Death Sworn By: Leah Cypress

It's been a while since I have read a fantasy so I am definitely looking forward to starting this one!

6. The Here and Now By: Ann Bashares

This one definitely sounds interesting, I am so curious about it because it's a time travel book done in a different way. 

7. The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas By: Sarah J. Mass

I am in love with this cover, you should see how beautiful it is in person. I waited to read them until this was released, I can't wait to dive into this beautiful book.

8. House Of Ivy and Sorrow By: Natalie Whipple

I really enjoyed Natalie's debut so I am definitely excited to read this one.  

9. The Chapel Wars By: Lindsey Levitt

I think this book sounds like so much fun, I can't wait to see if it's as much fun as I think it is. 

10. The Dark World By: Cara Lynn Shultz

Demons seem to becoming really popular this year in YA, I have definitely enjoyed the books about them that I have read so far. 

What Would I Do If I Had Telepathic Powers?

In honor of the release of Don't Even Think About It By: Sarah Mylnowski I wanted to share what I would do if I had telepathic powers.

So it's funny that this topic is something I am discussing today because my boyfriend and  I were just talking about this, same topic. Telepathic powers is something that I would be hesitant to have. The reason that I would have a hard time with this is because I don't know if I would want to know everything that the people around me are thinking. 

I know if I could read people's  I would try to use my powers for good but, I think that everyone would probably use it in some no so good ways at the same time. I mean I definitely would want to know what my boss was thinking and sometimes knowing what is going in his head because at times I have absolutely no idea.

I also know that at work knowing exactly what my boss and co-workers are thinking would be an advantage, it would definitely make me job easier and I would love to know exactly what everyone was thinking about me and what they wanted from me although, I do think that you would have to get tough skin to be able to handle this power. People's thoughts are something very personal and private and knowing what they are thinking may hurt your feelings so I definitely think it would be a power that would teach you to be more humble and help you not take yourself too seriously.

“A tour-de-force comic narration that will leave you gasping in awe—if you ever catch your breath from laughing.”—E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars
"Mlynowski continues to make comedy look easy in this smart and frequently hilarious novel, which features a collective first-person narrative that fits the premise like a glove... Filled with heartbreak, hilarity, and some brutal truths, Mlynowski’s novel will leave readers thinking about the gaps between our private and public selves and the lies we tell others and ourselves." --Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
"Mlynowski hits all the right notes. There's enough levity to keep readers laughing, but this is far from fluff--the real-life commotions are engaging, and the characters are fully developed. The story is funny, sweet and true to life, as readers have come to expect from Mlynowski. Her teens are emotional without being drama queens, amusing but not twee. A perfect read."--RT Book Reviews
