Where are the Children? Mary Higgins

For a change, I wanted to try a mystery book and this is the author the librarian said was a good. so far I like it alot, im only 33 pages in, but the charecters are really interesting and I like the way Mary makes on of the charecters, im guessing the murderers, perspective different from the rest. It adds a twist and questions like, "Who is this?" "Why is she/he doing this" yadayada. The setting is also in Cape Cod, so I just recently went there for the first time so it's fun to see the characters view on the area. I'm excited to keep reading and hopfully can figure out who the murderer is!

Along for the Ride Sara Dessen

Because her parents fought when she was younger, Auden was stuck with nocturnal sleeping habbits. A perfect child to her mother, Audens only concentration is school and keeping maturity in the house. But when she decides to spend a relaxing summer with her father at his beach house, she discovers a whole new world she never expirienced with the help of Eli. Eli, a mysterious nieghborhood kid with his own stories to his own nocturnal sleeping, begins to help Auden with the lessons she never learned as a child. I enjoyed this book and thought it was quick summer read.

The Notebook Nicholas Sparks

I've seen the movie and cried, so once I passed it in the library I had to pick it up. Unlike alot of books that have been turned into movies, I thought the movie followed the book really well and had even more interesting details in the movie that weren't stretched out so much in the book--so it was interesting to have seen/read both. The characters were so real, Sparks put in little clips of there lives as teens that really defined who they were in the rest of their life. It was a good quick read, but I really enjoyed the bits of poetry they inclued that Noah, the main charcters, had read. The descriptions of the scenery is perfect too, and with past vacations to North Carolina it was nice to see his point of view of the inland.
