Choice Summer (The Nikki Sheridan Series #1) by Shirley Brinkerhoff

Life for Nikki Sheridan has always been the same no surprises, no scrapes, no crises, no escapes. This summer will change all that.
"Sure enough, honey-"
Her hollow words reverberated off the cold, antiseptic walls of the examination room, and inside my head. I stopped listening.
How could this have happened to me?
More accurately, how will I ever forget? Especially now that there's this little reminder to think about. What am I going to do?
Telling my parents - I don't even want to think about that! And Grandma and Grandpa would be so disappointed. No. It's just like the nurse at the clinic said I can have it taken care of, and then my life can just go back to normal.
But I have to do it right away, before anyone finds out, before I start gaining weight-
Her worst fears confirmed, Nikki's plans come to a screeching halt when she realizes that, for the first time in her life, the choice is hers to make. What will she decide? And can she follow through with it?

This is an excellent coming of age story with a great message. Each book in the series talks about and deals with a different situation that normally affects teenagers. I highly recommend this series! But, readers should be warned that it deals with sensitive topics.

Language: Very mild.

Adult Stuff: There is a bedroom scene that is part of the main story but it is written very tastefully and without many details.

Violence: None.

Overall Age Rating: 13+

Book Review of Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

DNF (did not finish)... This book had such a cool and fresh storyline that I was excited to read it! Until I stumbled upon the language scattered through this book about as often as the word "the" or "a". Oh well... :( Language: LOTS! Multiple F-bombs and various other language is scattered throughout. Adult Stuff: I only got a few chapters in but the book discussed some adult content and the heroine is very blunt so it can be taken as rude. There is also talk that Rose and Lissa had a romantic relationship (which is not true). There is also.... tension between the Rose and Dimitri. Violence: A few descriptions of how to kill Strigoi but not graphic. Overall Age Rating: Older teens in my opinion.

Let's talk Midterms

Midterms... ah, can I just *groan. First off, they're pointless. I mean like seriously! We have Finals, isn't that enough? I have online classes and they expect me to take midterm exams? Ha! I have enough to do. I mean, it'd be one thing if they lightened up the weekly workload and had us just do the exam... but no... they have us do our normal school week AND a high point exam or project. WHY? Are you trying to make me go gray early? I have compiled the stages of midterms.... enjoy. When you see the midterm. The frantic studying (more like student dying). When you've reached your limit and you just need a moment to vent. Then.... the stressful moment of taking the exam: During the exam... When there's a trick question, but it might not be a trick question. Submitting the exam. When you realize that pass or fail you can get a job at Mcdonalds and you're cool with that. No more college. You just don't care... there is ...
