Gah. Not Reading books (the untraditional ones) is killing me! But I shall endure! MUAHAHAHA. but I have been fantasizing of reading books so I don't forget to read books.

The Ohsum Books

 1. Fissure by Nicole Williams. I am not done with it yet but I have a great great feeling that it'll be ohsum to it's ohsum end! So when I'm done with my fast / diet, I'll be continuing Pat and my date.

 2. Crash still by Nicole Williams. I'm surprised I put this up here. But for the amount of wit and the amount of sass that Lucy brings, I'm gonna do just so!



The Less-than-ohsum Books

1. Aces Up by Lauren Barnholdt. I was disappointed with this one. And I feel the need to explain why. Hence the review.

 2. Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik. As the name suggest, it was a horrorific thing to read. I hated someone I was supposed to love (Derek) and I feel that this doesn't capture the essence of the original book this was poorly derived from (Pride and Prejudice by my hero Jane Austen) and failed in comparison to other retellings.

    Synopsis

"Let me make it in time. Let me meet Shadow. The guy who paints in the dark. Paints birds trapped on brick walls and people lost in ghost forests. Paints guys with grass growing from their hearts and girls with buzzing lawn mowers."

It’s the end of Year 12. Lucy’s looking for Shadow, the graffiti artist everyone talks about. His work is all over the city, but he is nowhere.

Ed, the last guy she wants to see at the moment, says he knows where to find him. He takes Lucy on an all-night search to places where Shadow’s thoughts about heartbreak and escape echo around the city walls. But the one thing Lucy can’t see is the one thing that’s right before her eyes.

    Synopsis

Ella is nearly invisible at the Willing School, and that's just fine by her. She's got her friends - the fabulous Frankie and their sweet cohort Sadie. She's got her art - and her idol, the unappreciated 19th-century painter Edward Willing. Still, it's hard being a nobody and having a crush on the biggest somebody in the school: Alex Bainbridge. Especially when he is your French tutor, and lessons have started becoming, well, certainly more interesting than French ever has been before. But can the invisible girl actually end up with a happily ever after with the golden boy, when no one even knows they're dating? And is Ella going to dare to be that girl?

     Synopsis

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home. As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near - misses end with the French kiss Anna - and readers - have long awaited? (Goodreads.com)
