Randoms From iBooks...

Every now and then I take a look at iBooks and see if I can find a free book that catches my eye.  I also check it for books that I find on Amazon that might be much cheaper.  Well this month I found two!  I read them both last week and they were pretty good for costing me a total of $3 between the two :)

The first book I read is called "Easy" by Tammara Webber.  This book is about a girl named Jacqueline who followed her longtime boyfriend Kennedy to the college of his choice.  She never saw a breakup coming and after two weeks of hiding in her dorm room she wakes up to realise that she is now single, attending a state university instead of a music conservatory, stalked by her ex-boyfriend's frat brother, and failing a class for the first time in her life!

She receives Landon's email address from her econ professor (the class that she is now failing) and he begins tutoring her through a series of helpful, but also flirtatious emails.  She begins to think that she really would like to meet Landon, but their schedules never match up.  Meanwhile, a cute guy, Lucas, that she had not previously noticed in her econ class becomes her own personal saviour one night after a frat party.  She becomes equally interested in Lucas, an artist who asks her if he can sketch her one night.  She begins to fall for Lucas, but is thrown for a loop when her relationships with Landon and Lucas collide.  Now she must figure out who she can trust while trying to avoid her stalker and deal with her feelings toward her ex when he suddenly comes back into the picture.

The second book I read is called, "The Rock Star's Daughter" by Caitlyn Duffy.  This book is about 15 year old Taylor Beauforte, the daughter of rock star Chase Atwood, lead singer in the band Pound.  She has only met her dad twice in her entire life and only knows about him from what she sees on MTV and in magazines.  He pays for her to go to the Treadwell Academy, a boarding school in Massachusetts. 


Taylor has just come home for the summer, when her hard-partying mom, Dawn dies and Taylor's world is turned upside down.  She is now going to be joining her father and his new wife and child on his band's summer U.S. tour.  Taylor is still grieving for the loss of her mother, trying to figure out who her dad really is (the supportive authority, or a liar and cheat), dealing with her new step mother Jill, and deciding what it means to be the daughter of a famous rock star.  She finds herself in many new situations that the old Taylor would never have let herself get into and longs for her old, simple life of books and her violin.  Will she ever fit into her father's world?
