From Real Life to Romance

Since we got so many new books in over the summer, I'm definitely not going to get them all posted in one shot. I've already gone over the Graphic Novels, so today's post will focus on the Real Life, and the Romance. I have not had a chance to read all these books yet, so I have little to say about them at the moment. Sorry about that, but when you're doing this job and maintaining order in study hall as well, leisure time isn't exactly rampant. ;)

The Falling Between Us

by Ash Parsons

Real Life...with a touch of romance...

Joshua Blackbird is an instant star. From the moment he posts his first song on YouTube, his life would never be the same. 8 months later, he is known world-wide, he's emancipated from his parents, his manager is at his side non-stop, and so is Roxanne Stewart, his girlfriend from home.

Their world goes quickly from simple life in a sleepy town, to the highs and lows of instant and mass fame.

And when Joshua Blackbird suddenly disappears, Roxanne will stop and nothing to find out what is going on.

From Twinkle, with Love

Romance

Twinkle Mehra dream is to be a filmmaker. When that opportunity presents itself via fellow film geek Sahil Roy, in the form of an upcoming Summer Festival, she jumps at the chance. Not only will she be able to make her voice heard, she'll be able to work up close and personal with her longtime crush (and Sahil's twin brother), Neil.

As production begins, so do mysterious emails from someone only known as "N". Twinkle is certain they're from Neil, and while that should make her ecstatic, it only complicates things when she finds herself falling for her 'adorkable' film partner, Sahil.

There's nothing Kate Bailey likes more than her time a the lake, soaking up sun and solitude.

When her best friend Alana convinces her to join the high school podcast though, things get complicated. Designated the host of a call in advice show, Kate is now forced to not only answer calls, but give advice, live on air! Luckily for her, she turns out to be pretty good at it

When an anonymous caller begins calling in though, and asking questions about his unnamed crush, Kate is almost positive it's the good looking Diego Martinez, and he's crushing on Alana. At first Kate is ecstatic for her best friend, but as the caller continues to call in, Kate finds she's falling for him herself....
