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 The Vampire Stalker by Allison van Diepen

This book had SO much potential and I feel like it only scratched the surface. It was refreshing to have characters with personality, and depth. Overall it was a fun and easy read. Language: None Adult stuff: Just a few light kisses but nothing inappropriate Violence: A few descriptions of vampire kills but not graphic Overall Age Rating: I'd say a ten-year-old could read it and be fine

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 ...

Book Review of The Nine Lives Of Chloe King by Celia Thompson and Liz Braswell

Having watched the Tv series first, I was disappointed in how the friendships were. I loved how Chloe and her mom were like friends in the Tv series but the book had them more like mom and rebellious teen. I only got a few pages in before I thought "I don't want the book to ruin how the characters are in the Tv series." So, if you've seen the Tv series then be prepared for disappointment. Language: There is some language, I'd say the same amount as in Vampire Academy. (Click here to read the review) Adult Stuff: Chloe goes to a club with an agenda of 'hooking up' with a guy, she gets close. Detailed but not graphic, if that makes sense. Violence: Chloe hurts a few people with her.. powers. Described and blood is mentioned. Youngest age to read it : Later teens.
