Book Review #30, WAHOOO!!!!!
I hadn't read this since high school, and I'm not sure I actually read it then. This was another book that went on my shelf to save. I truly feel that every teenager needs to read this. It was so heartbreaking to see how just one bad decision ruined her entire life. One night hanging out with the wrong people and your life can take a turn that you never would have expected. So unfortunate, but it teaches a great lesson without sugar coating anything.
I finished my 30 books! While it took me awhile to post about all of them, I did finish them in about 4 months! I've still been plugging away and reading about a book a week, although I'll spare you all (of 2 of you who might read this) from "reviewing" any more books.
Knowledge is power! Read away!

I've always been intrigued by nanny's in Hollywood, so I had to pick this one up. While it wasn't quite as divulging as I had hoped, it still was pretty entertaining/sad/pathetic. So glad I decided college was a better idea than becoming a nanny to the rich and famous. One of a few good choices I've made in these 30 years.

This was part of a series that VC Andrews wrote, that were somewhat short stories. For her, anyway. I'm a sucker for a super trashy novel by her. I'm still trying to figure out how she's been dead for like 2 decades and yet still releasing new books. Super confusing.

Now, this book I do remember. I read The Color of Water and it was incredible. This did not get stuck in the pile of books to sell at Half Price Books, but instead went back on the shelf. It's one of those that I think any interracial couple or mixed teenager/adult should read. It's a story about a mixed kid whose white mother raised him and a handful of sisters and brothers. She approached the issue of race in an incredible way, especially considering the times. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a moving memoir!
Book Review #26
It's official. I am horrible at posting on my blog. So horrible that today, I looked and went, "No way has it been two months since I've posted!" Sure enough, it has, and now, I can hardly remember these books that I'm supposed to be "reviewing". Here goes nothing. Yet another VC Andrews book. The end.
