...Me! Me!! ME!!!

I'm Prodhi...you can call me Prod.
I'm a YA reader/reviewer/ other than that, I'm a nutcase gone awry. Yes, I'm insane so to speak:) I'd say I'm a girl next door, but I'm much better off without a Pinocchio nose, thank you very much. I'm a pretty fun chica, I guess. I also realize that this About Me section doesn't do the three dimensions of my character justice. Or four. Or five. Or six. Oh shooh!

Saturday Sighs: Double Dish

Okay, so I realized I should add in two or three more books from my cravings this week. So here's the second edition of today's SS post. Enjoy:)

Sing Me to Sleep by Angela Morrison

This book looks sooo good! It's a romance, and here's the summary from Angela's website:
Beth, a tall, ugly girl survives high school in Port, Michigan, north of Detroit by keeping her head down and hanging out with best friend since pre-school, Scott, short, nerdy, fellow outcast. Her escape is singing.
Beth turns from beast to beauty (with the help of a pushy girl in her choir and a high-tech makeover) when she lands the solo spot in her all girls choir. Her mad vocal skills propel the choir into the international spotlight. They go to the Choral Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland, where beth meets the star soloist, Derek, from the Amabile Boy’s Choir—right across the border back home. He puts the moves on her, and she falls hard for him. Derek is perfect—except for a troubling secret he won’t ever explain to Beth.
When she gets home, faithful, loyal Scott is there. He’s finally growing, filling out, almost as much of a babe as Derek, Beth is into Derek, but she’s torn up over how her relationship with him hurts Scott. She cares about him, too. And then Derek’s behavior gets more and more erratic. And Beth gets more and more unsure of what she should do.
Beth writes lyrics and Derek composes music. Beth’s lyrics are sprinkled through the novel, so there is a poetic element to Sing Me to Sleep.

Awwww! It's bound to be a great read. Remember Taken by Storm? Yup, Angela wrote that too. She's also going to write two sequels to TBS. Can't wait!

My Fake Boyfriend is Better Than Yours by Kristina Springer

Now, this one doesn't have a summary out yet...but you can guess:)

That's it for today! Five books...whew! Drool over them while I sign off blogger. Peace:)

Saturday Sighs

This is just another excuse of me putting up a list of upcoming books that I'm craving for.

Fixing Delilah Hannaford by Sarah Ockler (Cover not out yet)

Okay, so there hasn't been an official announcement for it, but it's Sarah Ockler, and anything by Sarah Ockler=iCrave! Here's a quick summary, quoting Sarah herself:
Stuck in Vermont all summer with her workaholic mother, a Tarot-card-reading aunt, and a childhood friend who thinks he can fix anything, sixteen-year-old Delilah Hannaford confronts her elusive family history to expose the secrets that have defined and divided the Hannafords for three generations.

Sounds good? Thought so.

Sea by Heidi Kling

Haunted by recurring nightmares since her mother’s disappearance over the Indian ocean three years before, fifteen-year old California girl Sienna Jones reluctantly travels with her psychiatrist father’s volunteer team to six-months post-tsunami Indonesia where she meets the scarred and soulful orphaned boy, Deni, who is more like Sea than anyone she has ever met.

She knows they can’t be together, so why can’t she stay away from him? And what about her old best friend-turned-suddenly-hot Spider who may or may not be waiting for her back home? And why won’t her dad tell her the truth about her mother’s plane crash? The farther she gets from home, the closer she comes to finding answers. And Sea’s real adventure begins.

OMG. Look at the cover. Look at the summary. You crave? No? Well I crave!

Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink

Sixteen year-old Lia Milthorpe and her twin sister Alice have just become orphans and, as Lia discovers, they have also become enemies. The twins are part of an ancient prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other. To escape from a dark fate and to remain in the arms of her beloved boyfriend James, Lia must end the prophecy before her sister does. Only then will she understand the mysterious circumstances of her parents’ deaths, the true meaning of the strange mark branded on her wrist, and the lengths to which her sister will go to defeat her.

Now this is one to go ga-ga over (keep flattering yourself, Lady GaGa. Not happening). Sadly, I don't think I'll get a chance to snag this one *weeps* This book has been released today so my message to the lucky ones: Hurry to your nearest bookstore and buy! Now!
