Miss me? :)
I know I've been MIA but now that the wedding is over, well *whew*, I may actually have time to catch up on my reading! Head over to my personal blog for more info (pictures coming soon) on the journey of our five month journey to plan a wedding.
I didn't get to post like I wanted to yesterday so I'm going to post my review of Jacci Turner's The Cage that I did for Flamingnet.
Summary: Summer school collects a diverse set of teenagers, some getting a head and others trying to pass. Grouped together for the entire class, four students of different backgrounds – Tyrell, Tiffany, Orlando, and Samantha – learn more than English from their assignments. The “Blue Group” quickly discovers they have more in common than appearances suggest. Tyrell’s dreams and Sam’s drawings are more than coincidence. But who is the girl that appears in both? And what does she want from them?
Opinion: At first I was not impressed with where the story was going and how it was written. But after the third or fourth (short) chapters, I started to feel a part of the “Blue Group” as if I was a character myself. I could predict some of the outcomes; I was pleasantly surprised by some of the twists. Jacci Turner did such a great job with this book that I’m excited to see what comes in the rest of the series. A fairly light read and not too complex, The Cage makes a great pick for reluctant readers.
The Cage is the first in Turner's Birthright Series. So far, I'd say she has done a great job and can't wait for The Bar to be released this year. Jacci can be found here.
Not sure what I'm going to read next. I was hoping for the Hunger Games but the list is too long and I need something now! My family vacation is at the end of the month at Garner State Park :) never heard of it??? then you don't know what your missing! Frio River (great for swimming and tubing), camping (campfires and family), and a dance (under the stars) -- what more could you ask for??? I plan on reading a couple of books while I'm there -- hopefully!
What about you -- what are your favorite vacation reads?
