Currently Reading: Gilmore Girls: The Other Side of Summer and Bad Magic

I'm nearly finished with both The Mark of Athena and 84 Ribbons. It usually doesn't take me long to read a book but I kind of postponed reading them for a while to read and review some of the advanced reader books.

My reviews for those two books will be up real soon. Below are two books I'm going to start reading.



Book: The Other Side of Summer (Gilmore Girls book #4) by Helen Pai

Description:

"Why don't they just sew our sides together and rename us Chang and Eng." ~ Paris Geller

It's true. The Chilton gods seem to get great amusement out of putting Paris and me in the same setting, be it academically or socially. And they're also bestowing their evil charms on my mom, who's been told by Headmaster Charleston that she needs to be more involved. So she's working on being a "Chilton mom," and I'm trying to be a "Puff." It hasn't been easy for either of us, especially with the distraction of my debutante ball, the arrival of Luke's nephew, Jess, and Tristin's return to school. What's Harvard?






Book: Bad Magic by Pseudonymous Bosch with illustrations by Gilbert Ford

Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review

Publication: Available now

Description:

Magic is BAD.

As in fake. Cheesy. Unreal. At least, that's what Clay, who has seen one magic show too many, thinks.

When words from his journal appear mysteriously on his school wall as graffiti, he never imagines that magic might be to blame. And when the same graffiti lands him at Earth Ranch, a camp for "troubled" kids on a remote volcanic island, magic is the last thing he expects to find there.

But at Earth Ranch, there is one strange surprise after another, until Clay no longer knows what to expect. Is he really talking to a llama? Did he really see a ghost? What is the scary secret hidden in the abandoned library? The only thing he knows for sure is that behind the clouds of vog (volcanic smog), nothing is as it seems. Can he solve the riddle of Earth Ranch before trouble erupts?

Elusive author Pseudonymous Bosch introduces an extraordinary new series that will have you believing in the unbelievable.
