Reader Question… Solved! The book about the high school girl that has a guardian angel that she can see…

By 18 Comments

Dominic needs our book help! Oooooh I love guardian angel romance books, and have fallen in love with a few of ’em (the bad fallen ones, to be exact). Eeeeeeep!! *snort* 😉 This one sounds INTENSE!!!! Love triangle? I’m dying to know it, too!

She asks:

Okay so I’ve been scouring the internet for days looking for a book I’ve read years ago and with no luck. I can vaguely remember some parts of the plot so here it goes:

This is all set in high school.  She has a guardian angel that she could see. And she’s slowly falling in love with him like every night she’ll wait for him but they’re too scared to touch because then he might get assigned to a new human if they ever engage in anything other than human/guardian angel relationship. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the heroine that is abused by her parents and bullied in school…

By 9 Comments

Storme is still looking for this book from this past reader question (still unsolved), and she’s provided us with more details in case this might help!

She’s back again saying:

I’m back again hoping some new people will look at the post and help with a book I’ve been looking for so long!

The details that I remember-

The heroine’s name could be Echo though I’m not completely sure.

The h lives with her father and stepmother who physically abuse her. She is bullied in school because of the clothes she wears and her timid nature. The bullying at the school gets bad. The H who goes to the same school also says mean things to her like ‘Why does she even bother living and she should die’ something along this line. read more

Reader Confession – Have you re-read any of your childhood favorites?

By 12 Comments

Ahhhh I love this subject!! And Leslie is the one that got me thinking:

Leslie M: Ok, so I just read Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret for my “Time’s top 100″ in our challenge. So funny to re-read something from my childhood with an adult perspective. “We must, we must, we must increase our bust.” I feel so far removed from an 11 yr old girl, I could never write a realistic coming of age book. The silly things that seem so important…

Anyway, it was fun. Maybe I need to pull out some Nancy Drew. read more

Amy A. Bartol – Second Born Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

<— DYSTOPIAN ALERT & OMG I LOVE the sound of this one.

Tessa: Something definitely unique and fantasy is Secondborn by Amy Bartol.  :) I really liked that series, and am waiting with bated breath for the last of the trilogy. (I think it will be anyway?)

…Secondborn and Traitor Born by Amy Bartol just blew me away. It was so high in angst, GAH. I loved it.

Nay: I’m going to check out this Secondborn series, even if it is YA. If they’re angsty enough, sometimes I end up loving them more than some of the corny NAs out there. read more
