SINCE YOU 'VE BEEN GONE by Morgan Matson

        For this book that I finished last year but now got the chance to write about it, we are following the story of Emily, a shy, quiet girl that even when she has something to say, she doesn't say it because she thinks it is not something clever. Until she meets Sloan. Sloan is the exact opposite of her it she makes Emily get out of her shell. But Sloan is suddenly gone, without a call or a message. The only this she Emily finds is a to-do-list from Sloan with 13 weird things that the old Emily would never do. Nothing illegal.... well exept of "steal something" . But even the new Emily is not sure she can do. But doing all of them might be a way to find where Sloan has gone.
        And as she goes further on the list she makes new friends, something that she thought she wasn't outgoing enough to do. And she never thought that she would have help with the list. Especially not from Mr Perfect Boy Handsome Clever Friends With Everyone President Of The School But With A Girlfriend - Frank Porter. A summer with a lot of firsts for shy Emily and a lot of fresh starts!!

THE MOON TRILOGY by Tim O' Rourke

      Hellooooooooo and Happy New Year!! I hope this year you all start reading something you like! And it might not help you when you are playing Trivial Persuit but you will get something out of it I promise.
      So after reading book one of this trilogy, called Moonlight, a while ago, I really wanted to read the other two books, called Moonbeam and Moonshine. It is a paranormal trilogy by non other but my favourite author Tim O' Rourke. We have Winter Mc Call, who lives in the streets of London and the only life she knows is that of begging for money and always being cold an hungry. But when a handsome stranger offers her a job at his house, she is skeptical. But she takes the job as a housekeeper, even though she knows he has some weird habits. And she soon finds out that that is an understatement! And unfortunatelly the weird part is not so bad. Thaddeus, the handsome, rich, mysterious gentleman has a lot of secrets and dangerous also.
      That is for the first book, but in order to avoid spoilers, I have to say very few things about books two and three. Winnie (Winter) finds herself changing and not in a good way. And having feeling for Thaddeus might be worse than the change and the hunger that she starts to feel.
      I loved them and Tim O' Rourke always gives you the element of surprise in th end! Something that you would never expect, no matter how big is your imagination!! Enjoy, you will!!
