Cheerleaders the First Evil
by R.L. Stine

Cheerleaders the First Evil is about 2 new students, Bobbi and Corky that join the squad. While they joined the other cheerleaders felt jealous of them because of their cheering talent, especially Kimmy. Kimmy was jealous of Bobbi because Kimmy's ex-boyfriend was going out with Bobbi. There's more that I want to write but I'll stop now or I'll tell you everything about this book. This book is very easy to read and you can understand it well.

Confessions of a Shopaholic


Confessions of a Shopaholic
by Sophie Kinsella

This book is hilarious especially for any one who loves to shop. It follows Rebeca a writer for a Successful Savings magazine who doesn't follow her own money savvy advice. In denial and still shopping, her credit card bills add up as her shopping spirals out of control. You can't help but laugh at her reasoning behind her crazy purchases and her unique personality. It's a fun and enjoyable book to read.

The Bonesetter's Daughters


The Bonesetter's Daughter
by Amy Tan


If you enjoy historical books or books on Chinese cultures, you will really like this book. It is very interesting and provides a lot of insight to a very interesting time period and culture that many are not familiar with. I really enjoyed it as well as Amy Tan's other books.
