by Louise Rennison
Book Description:
...when the Sex God is never around and Dave the Laugh breaks up with
Ellen, Georgia doesn't know what to think! Is she doomed to be a pop-star

horn? And will her cat, Angus (the size of a small Labrador, only mad),
ever get over the shame of having his trouser snake addendums snipped?
As always, in Georgia's life, nothing ever turns out as planned!

I
Capture the Castle
by Dodie Smith
Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain wants to become a writer. Trouble
is, she's the daughter of a once-famous author with a severe case of writer's
block. Her family--beautiful sister Rose, brooding father James, ethereal
stepmother Topaz--is barely scraping by in a crumbling English castle they
leased when times were good. Now there's very little furniture, hardly
any food, and just a few pages of notebook paper left to write on. Bravely
making the best of things, Cassandra gets hold of a journal and begins
her literary apprenticeship by refusing to face the facts. She writes,
"I have just remarked to Rose that our situation is really rather romantic,
two girls in this strange and lonely house. She replied that she saw nothing
romantic about being shut up in a crumbling ruin surrounded by a sea of
mud."
Rose longs for suitors and new tea dresses while Cassandra scorns romance:
"I know all about the facts of life. And I don't think much of them." But
romantic isolation comes to an end both for the family and for Cassandra's
heart when the wealthy, adventurous Cotton family takes over the nearby
estate. Cassandra is a witty, pensive, observant heroine, just the right
voice for chronicling the perilous cusp of adulthood. Some people have
compared I Capture the Castle to the novels of Jane Austen, and it's just
as well-plotted and witty. But the Mortmains are more bohemian--as much
like the Addams Family as like any of Austen's characters. Dodie Smith,
author of 101 Dalmations, wrote this novel in 1948. And though the story
is set in the 1930s, it still feels fresh, and well deserves its reputation
as a modern classic. --Maria Dolan - Amazon.com

Watching over Me (Shenandoah Sisters, 1)
by Michael Phillips
Book Description: Book 1 of SHENANDOAH SISTERS. Two young Southern
girls, one the daughter of a plantation owner and one the daughter of a
slave, barely survive the onset of the Civil War and the loss of both their
families. When these tragic circumstances bring them together, they join
forces to discover if they can make a life for themselves. As their preconceptions
give way to experience, they gradually learn to value their contrasting
and complementing strengths and skills as they face the formidable task
of keeping body and soul together in the aftermath of this devastating
war. But is it possible the Lord they have come to know has something bigger
in mind for the plantation than either of them can imagine?
