#Fridayreads


          Hey guys, hope you’re all good!  So this blog is a little different from what I’m use to doing, and I may go mainstream with this, I guess we’ll see how it goes. I thought it would be fun to do a Friday reads blog, it’s something I've seen on YouTube, twitter and facebook, and I thought, hey, why not do one too. It’s basically the books you intend to read/finish reading for the weekend. =)  So the books that I’ll be reading this weekend are: Invasion of the boy snatchers by Lisi Harrison, Spiritual Seduction by Desiree Day,  The Candidates by Inara Scott and Crush, from the Just a Little series by Tracie Puckett. Not to worry, today’s blog is absolutely free of any MAJOR spoilers.

            I absolutely have to say though, that all except one these books are books that I've started reading ages ago, but for some reason or the other (besides my snail’s pace reading) I've been unable to finish them, so let’s start.



        Invasion of the boy snatchers by Lisi Harrison. If you didn’t know, this book is a Clique novel, which happens to be the very girly YA genre, which wouldn’t normally suit my taste, just because they’re very clichéd and very predictable, but I've never read a Clique novel before, and since I started this blog a couple weeks back, I thought it would be good to read one and then blog about it. (For friends who actually follow my dumbness of Facebook, you’d know that this is a Library book, that I borrowed, which I don’t normally do, because I have a habit of reading very slooooowly, and since as it’s borrowed, it has a due date,  and late arrivals usually attract fines…yeah, screwed!  I almost never dodge these fines, I already have a bill with the library and I have extended the date on this book twice already! *Thanks Mrs. Edwards*)  So yeah, this book is about a bunch of girls who have their own clique at school (as the name of the series suggest) and they basically make life a living hell for other females (sometimes the opposite gender too) but also what is interesting is the infighting that takes place among these teenagers.  I’m not too keen on looking forward to the ending of this book, but since as I started it already, I guess I’ll just finish it (probably have to extend the date on this one 2-3 more times!)




          Spiritual Seduction by Desiree Day. So this read, is a surprisingly interesting read, I’m almost through with it. It’s a mixture between, romance/fantasy and paranormal/supernatural activity, there are some cursing in this read and it’s definitely not YA! At all!  This book was given to me by a friend who migrated recently (months ago) and I decided to read it, cuz she said it was good, and it is! Just that it can get slow at times and I would have loved if it could be a little more fast paced with the events, one scene seems to go on and on forever in this book. The story is about how the main character tries to fend off her dead husband’s spirit from killing her and taking her son away to live with him in his ‘world’ (actually hell). She finds protection in her boss and school Vice Principal who happens to be a sort of good-guy-hunts-bad-guy-spirit. And needless to say things between them get hot and steamy, very, very quickly!  But it is a good read though and I am looking forward to finishing this one.





          The Candidates by Inara Scott. This book is one that I haven’t started reading as yet, I did borrow it from a friend some time ago though, promising to read it but failing to start, because of school. What I can tell you about this book though is that it is YA and it has a supernatural quality about it (based on the summary inside the front flap of the jacket). I do wanna read this one, I haven’t been too acquainted with the supernatural genre until just recently, and I find that I do like them (evidenced by my like for Spiritual Seduction) And I have been told by a teacher friend of mine that this book reminds her of The Hunger Games (which I've yet to read, *feeling so left behind), and I am interested in reading that as well. 



          Crush by Tracie Puckett. This book, is also another very girly YA book, I got this one from the Amazon book store on my Kindle Fire (it was free).  I find the writing style to be okay so far, very girly though and kind of amateurish (I’m not a huge literary genius, but I know what I’m talking about). The story is about how the main character finds herself helping out her local police department on a school project, of which her uncle is the chief, and subsequently has a crush on one of the members of the department. So far there’s a very cute, awesome dynamic between the two main characters and I’m really interested to see how the story plays out between the two of them.

       So that’s it guys, my Friday reads, I doubt I’ll finish any of them, mainly because it’s exam season, and I have to do some major buckling down. So yeah, but I’ll maybe read a few chapters or so in between exams or on the weekends. My good reads and Facebook are some where down below so you can follow up on my shenanigans! Thanks guys and I’ll blog you later! =)
