   I am reading a book called True Love: Three novels by Lurlene McDaniel. Its three stories in one book about defying true love. It tests how powerful love is in tough situations. It is a really good book.

   Other ones: The Forbidden Game by L.J. Smith about a girl named Jenny who buys a board game from someone she sees mysterious and turns out to be Prince of Shadows. As they play the game, their lives are at stake…. I haven’t read it yet, but it sounds really good

   Also The Summer I turned Pretty and it isn’t summer without you. There is twenty Boy Summer, or Before I Fall. Any of these are good books to read. Hope this helps.

   Nokosee: Rise of the New Seminole by Micco Mann. It has the defiant voice of a 17 year old girl who manages to overcome everything thrown at her in the course of the novel which is a lot– and she does it in a way that would make all girls proud– not in a superhuman way or through the assistance of some heroic act of a man or a monster but via her own means.

   Cherry by Mary Karr. A memoir about teens, sex, drugs and growing up in rural Texas as told through the gritty, beautiful prose of one of America’s best writers having taught at Harvard and currently teaching as the Peck Professor of English Literature at Syracuse University. It’s a book every teen girl should read. If the opening paragraph doesn’t do it for you, nothing will (you can read it on the Amazon link below). I’ve also supplied you a link to her Harper Collins website where you can see the author describe her life in a revealing teaser for her new book “Lit.”

   The Liar’s Club by Mary Karr. Another moving memoir recounting her earlier years (you should probably read this one first and then Cherry).
