The ABC's of Kissing Boys by Tina Ferraro

The ABC's of Kissing Boys by Tina Ferraro
Publication Date: January 13, 2009
Versions: paperback, kindle

Summary (from barnesandnoble.com):
Parker Stanhope has played soccer practically since she could walk. And now that she’s a high school junior, everything she’s worked for is finally coming together. She’s paid her dues on the field, and as an upperclassman, she’s a shoo-in for the varsity team. But that’s not what happens.



This year, Coach Hartley moved up every JV player but two—and one of those two was Parker. Now, she’s stuck with the freshmen, her friends are cutting her loose, and her love of the game is seriously beginning to fail. But Parker is determined to get her life back. She has to get on the varsity team, and she has the perfect plan. All she needs now is the right kind of coach.

The ABC's of Kissing Boys by Tina Ferraro starts out with Parker learning she didn't make the varsity team and is very upset about it and the fact that her friends are now leaving her out. So in order to get back into her friend group and on the Varsity team, she has to do something about it-and that something involves her neighbor. This is a really cute book, and it's about kissing-and who doesn't like a book about kissing?

Each chapter starts out with the name of a kiss (starting with A and ending with Z) and then it states the definition of that kiss. And within that chapter, that kiss happens-which is super cute and I loved how she followed the alphabet.

Will I reread it?
Most defiantly.

This book was just a really light, fun read that I suggest it to every age group including those younger teens and older teens. It was just very enjoyable.

Some Courtney Summers and Elizabeth Scott news!

First, the Courtney Summers news. I was going through my daily blog check when I came across some exciting news on her blog. She has mentioned the title of her third novel which is truly exciting since I'm a huge fan. She has written two awesome books called Cracked Up to Be and Some Girls Are-yeah, you know the ones. And without further ado:


drum roll please...

Fall For Anything

I love this title and can't wait for it to come out (and no, there is no sign of a release date yet-but it's still exciting. You can see the post she posted this in right here.

And last but not least, the Elizabeth Scott news. Everyone knows how awesome Elizabeth's writing and personality is, and if you don't-you should defiantly pick up one of her books. These titles include: Living Dead Girl, Perfect You, Bloom, Stealing Heaven, Love You Hate You Miss You, Something Maybe, The Unwritten Rule (which has just been released) and Grace (which is coming out on September 16th, 2010). Wow, she is such an over acheiver with all her amazing books. And while I was doing this daily blog check (of course she's on the list) I was looking under her books section and saw she has listed a title and dateish.

Second drum roll please...

Between Here and Forever

Silver Kiss by Naomi Clark

Silver Kiss by Naomi Clark
Publication Date: March 1, 2010
Publisher: Queered Fiction
Versions: paperback, kindle

Summary (from amazon.com):
Ayla Hammond has come home. After years as a lone wolf in a self-imposed exile she's rejoining the pack and trying to mend fences with her parents. She's convinced them to accept her girlfriend, but can a lone wolf change her ways? As if homecoming wasn't hard enough, Ayla also can't help getting involved in a missing person case. With pressure to solve the case mounting from the pack alphas, Ayla is starting to question where her loyalties lie - and if a return to the pack she left behind is really what she wants

Silver Kiss by Naomi Clark was one of the more unique books I've read. Werewolf books are pretty popular but she spun a story that hasn't been told before, one that defiantly holds your attention. Ayla Hammond comes back into the werewolf pack after she has left for a few years, and once she comes back she is weaved into a missing case that her girlfriend is working on. She suspects the missing girl has something to do with the drug called Silver Kiss. This book is filled with love, action, and some very good fiction. I was pleasantly surprised with Naomi Clark's writing ability. Her words flowed off the page and were so easy to read. I loved how she used so many great adjectives and her paragraphs weren't too overly descriptive.

Will I reread it?
I'm a great fan of werewolf novels so I'll defiantly be coming back to this one.

It was kind of nice to get into the whole girl werewolf topic, which is rarely seen in books. And I will defiantly stay on the lookout for more books by Naomi.

This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review and no compensation
