Summary (from Goodreads) Title : The Summer I Became A Nerd Author : Leah Rae Miller Publication Date : May 7th 2013 Publisher : Entangled Teen Goodreads - The Book Depository On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way. Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she...

Summary (from Goodreads) Title : Life After Theft Author : Aprilynne Pike Publication Date : April 30th 2013 Publisher : Harper Teen Goodreads - The Book Depository Moving to a new high school sucks. Especially a rich-kid private school. With uniforms. But nothing is worse than finding out the first girl you meet is dead. And a klepto. No one can see or hear Kimberlee except Jeff, so--in hopes of bringing an end to the snarkiest haunting in history--he agrees to help her complete her "unfinished business." But when the enmity between Kimberlee and Jeff's new crush, Sera, manages to continue posthumously, Jeff wonders if he's made the right choice. Clash meets sass in this uproarious modern-day retelling of Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel. Personal Thoughts I went into Life After Theft not really expecting anything out of it and I think that was the right decision because this book did not blow me away. In fact, I thought it was bland and while it ha...
