My birthday was yesterday, I turned 16 and I got these 5 new books.

 Stand alone book.

 1st book in the series.

 1st book in the Twixt series.

 2nd book in the If I Stay series.

I have to admit that Wake's cover did not entice me at first and I didn't even look at it twice until I saw the 2nd and 3rd books. 

I haven't read them yet but I hope they will all be worth while. 

I recently finished reading Haunted by Meg Cabot, which is the 5th book in her Mediator series.  I thought it was really good! Granted, I liked the 4th book better, but this one still held my attention. I absolutely loved the romantic tension between Jesse and Paul.

"Is it possible to be haunted by someone who isn't even dead?

Suze is used to trouble, but this time she's in deep: Ghostly Jesse has her heart, but Paul Slater, a real flesh-and-blood guy, is warm for her form. And mediator Paul knows how to send Jesse to the Great Beyond. For good.

Paul claims he won't do anything to Jesse as long as Suze will go out with him. Fearing she'll lose Jesse forever, Suze agrees. But even if Suze can get Jesse to admit his true feelings for her, what kind of future can she have with a guy who's already dead?"

Favorite quotes:

"Well, hi, CeeCee," I said. "Hi, Adam. Nice of you two to drop by. Ever heard of knocking?"

"Unrequited love is all right in books and things, but in real life, it completely sucks." 

The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter

"Love or life. Henry or their child. The end of her family or the end of the world. Kate must choose. During nine months of captivity, Kate Winters has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can't stop her--until Cronus offers a deal. In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead. With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything. Even if it costs her eternity."

I love Tina's review of this book.  Check it out at the link bellow.
