The Reading Hideaway

Title: Rockoholic Author: C.J. Skuse Publisher: Scholastic Rating: 5 Synopsis (via Goodreads):   She's got it bad, and he ain't good -- he's in her garage?  "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me..."   Gonna have to face it: Jody's addicted to Jackson Gatlin, frontman of The Regulators, and after her best bud Mac scores tickets, she's front and center at his sold-out concert. But when she gets mashed in the moshpit and bodysurfs backstage, she's got more than a mild concussion to deal with. By the next morning, the strung-out rock star is coming down in her garage. Jody -- oops -- kind of kidnapped him. By accident. With a Curly Wurly candy bar. And now he doesn't want to leave.  It's a rock-star abduction worthy of an MTV reality series...but who got punk'd?! Review: Not only did the synopsis of Rockoholic excite me, but also the fact that it was my first ARC to read and review from Scholastic. Back...

Title: Touch of Frost Author: Jennifer Estep Publisher: K-Teen Rating: 5 Synopsis (via Goodreads):   My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy; a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody's head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest. But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I'm determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why; especially since I should have been the one who died... Review: This review should've been posted a long time ago. I think I finished reading this book maybe two months ago now, but I'...
