This book sold me by its cover. It's a biography of Queen Elizabeth II. I'm not going to read this book, but I do find the monarchy interesting. This book claims to cover interviews and never before seen documents to tell the story of the real Queen. If there is any one out there who loves the monarch or know someone who does, this might be a good present for them.
This sounds like it could be a really cute heartfelt story, the kind of book that make you want to smile and cry at the same time.
This YA book is about a girl named Hazel who is a terminal cancer patient. She got a treatment that shrunk her tumor, it bought a few years, but she is still terminal. Hazel's story is about to change when Augustus Waters comes to her Cancer Kid Support Group. This book is described as following the funny, and tragic business of being alive and in love.
This last book actually was released in March last year, but I didn't have a blog then. Now it is being released in paperback so I have a chance to tell you about it.
The Peach Keeper takes place in North Caroline, in the town of Walls of Water. This is a town full of gossip, secrets, socialites, and good old Southern families. Willa Jackson is from one of these families, an old southern family that met with financial ruin. It is hard living in a town where there is a line between the haves and have-nots.
Willa is hopeful when a former classmate, and do-gooder from a prominent family, decides to turn her grandmother once grand house into a top flight inn. The house has stood for years as a lonely monument to misfortune so Willa is hoping its renovation will finally put her families troubled past to rest. Instead a body is found buried under the peach tree. Secrets are coming to light along with strange occurrences around town. Willa must join forces with her classmate Paxton and confront that past and uncover the truth. A past where passion and betrayal once bound their families together.
Doesn't that sound juicy?
