Book Description
Only in L.A. would a school internship involve celebrity guest stars and hitting your mark. Acting is not my thing (can you say shy spasm?) . . . but mysteries are. I’m working as an extra on my sister’s latest movie, and legend has it that the mansion we’re filming in is haunted. With disappearing paintings, a glowing ghost, and Eva acting possessed (by love?), I’m starting to believe the stories are true! Chills. Thrills. Things that go bump in the night. Is my jinx on overdrive or have I stepped into a real-life horror flick?

Book Description
Fashionista. Comedian. Thief? Brand-new school, brand-new me? Try again. Having a famous sister doesn’t make me special at my posh Beverly Hills academy. But I am getting a lot of attention. Photos are disappearing faster than MTV swag bags from my classmates’ lockers–and blaming the new girl is the reaction du jour. I can't bother my almost-boyfriend Jeremy with my problems–and solving Project Photo Frame-Up is only one of them. The rest of my schedule: convincing my friends that I’m not a kleptomaniac, helping Eva nail her Serious Actress audition, and doing Jeremy a favor that makes my brain hurt. Is a Hollywood ending in sight? Not. Even. Close.

Kate wants to start taking more chances in life—but how much risk is too much? Kate Blair is sick of unrequited love.

She’s been trying to control everything—from the calories she consumes to painful emotions toward her alcoholic mother. She wants to live it up and be more like her wild friend Rosie—though Rosie has some problems of her own. It’s time to take a chance on real love, and Declan O’Brien’s the perfect risk. He’s handsome, kind, and crazy about her—so it’s not long before all thoughts of Mickey are few and far between. But old habits die hard. Kate may have started to forget . . . but has Mickey? “[James’s] Chesil Beach series . . . has been compared to that of leading novelists Jodi Picoult and Jojo Moyes.” —Dorset Echo

Finley After reading Ginger Peakock’s new novel, “I Dare You to Tell the Truth.” The book is a must read as well as a great read, Real life experience; know your partner a little better before committing to them.

The novel captivated my attention, and I could not put it down. The novel focused on all aspects of relationships, family, identity, marriage, or meeting someone for the first time. I began asking myself a few serious questions, how well do you really know who someone is? Are people really living double lives, and how many had similar situations that are on the pages of this book, but dare to tell the truth? This novel was steamy, an attention grabber, a lesson in living, and most of all can be used as a motivational book in the dating arena. Congratulations this novel is “HOT”. -Ms. Sharon Robinson—Director

Madonna
Author: Mary Gabriel
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316456446
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 939
Book Description
New York Times Editors’ Choice, One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year In this “infinitely readable” biography, award-winning author Mary Gabriel chronicles the meteoric rise and enduring influence of the greatest female pop icon of the modern era: Madonna (People Magazine) With her arrival on the music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion—as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles—taking the nation by storm with her liberated politics and breathtaking talent. Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a flagship Macy's store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest featuring Andy Warhol as a judge, and opened a department called “Madonna-land.” But Madonna was more than just a pop star. Everywhere, fans gravitated to her as an emblem of a new age, one in which feminism could shed the buttoned-down demeanor of the 1970s and feel relevant to a new generation. Amid the scourge of AIDS, she brought queer identities into the mainstream, fiercely defending a person's right to love whomever—and be whoever—they wanted. Despite fierce criticism, she never separated her music from her political activism. And, as an artist, she never stopped experimenting. Madonna existed to push past boundaries by creating provocative, visionary music, videos, films, and live performances that changed culture globally. Deftly tracing Madonna’s story from her Michigan roots to her rise to super-stardom, master biographer Mary Gabriel captures the dramatic life and achievements of one of the greatest artists of our time.
