Weekend/Casual Reading: Still Me, Nancy Drew: Bad Medicine and The Camelot Code

These are a few books I'll start reading this weekend. I had wanted to read Still Me ever since I read an excerpt from it. And just from reading those few pages, I found it to be very inspiring.

This is will be my first time reading a book from The Nancy Drew Files series. I didn't hear anything about this series from fans.

The description for the last book, The Camelot Code, has me really interested in reading it. 



Book: Still Me by Christopher Reeve

Source: Library

Description:

This is the determined, passionate story of one man, a gifted actor and star, and how he and his family came to grips with the kind of devastating, unexplainable shock that fate can bring to any of us.  Chris and Dana Reeve have gathered the will and the spirit to create a new life, one responsive and engaged and focused on the future.





Book: Bad Medicine (The Nancy Drew Files case #35) by Carolyn Keene

Description:

Nancy Checks into a Hospital Where Murder is the Chief Resident

To help a friend, Nancy goes undercover at a River Heights hospital. Trevor Callahan, a young doctor, is being blamed for his future father-in-law's sudden death after heart surgery. But before Nancy can investigate, the body is stolen!

When the teen detective starts work in the emergency room she soon finds every moment is vital. A mysterious killer is stalking the wards, and Nancy is high on the critical list. Is she fails to diagnose the clues, her own life will need intensive care -- and chances are the young sleuth won't survive the treatment.





Book: The Camelot Code by Mari Mancusi

Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review

Publication: Available now

Description:

All fourteen-year-old gamer girl Sophie Sawyer wants to do is defeat Morgan Le Fay in her favorite Arthurian videogame. She has no idea the secret code sent via text message is actually a magical spell that will send her back in time to meet up with a real life King Arthur instead.

Of course Arthur's not king yet--he hasn't pulled the sword from the stone--and he has no idea of his illustrious destiny. And when a twist of fate sends him forward in time--to modern day high school--history is suddenly in jeopardy. Even more so when Arthur Googles himself and realizes what lies in store for him if he returns to his own time--and decides he'd rather try out for the football team instead.

Now Sophie and her best friend Stuart find themselves in a race against time--forced to use their 21st century wits to keep history on track, battle a real-life version of their favorite videogame villain, and get the once and future king back where he belongs. Or the world, as they know it, may no longer exist.
