OK, so I got 19 posts in 7 days, and yeah, just a nice good week! What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read Donna of the Dead, Crush. Candy. Corpse., Prey, Shift, and Alpha.

Donna Pierce might hear voices, but that doesn’t mean she’s crazy. Probably.

The voices do serve their purpose, though—whenever Donna hears them, she knows she’s in danger. So when they start yelling at the top of their proverbial lungs, it’s no surprise she and her best friend, Deke, end up narrowly escaping a zombie horde. Alone without their families, they take refuge at their high school with the super-helpful nerds, the bossy class president, and—best of all?—Liam, hottie extraordinaire and Donna’s long-time crush. When Liam is around, it’s easy to forget about the moaning zombies, her dad’s plight to reach them, and how weird Deke is suddenly acting toward her.

But as the teens’ numbers dwindle and their escape plans fall apart, Donna has to listen to the secrets those voices in her head have been hiding. It seems not all the zombies are shuffling idiots, and the half-undead aren’t really down with kids like Donna…

Paradise Manor is depressing - the smells are bad and the residents are old. Sunny would much rather be doing her volunteer hours at Salon Teo, but her teacher won't let her. Who says volunteering at a hair salon doesn't benefit the community?

But working with the Alzheimer's patients has a surprising effect on Sunny. Along with Cole, the grandson of one of the residents, she begins to see that the residents don't have much more choice about their lives than she does: what they eat, how they are treated by staff, even what they watch on television. So Sunny does what she can to make the residents happy - even if she has to sometimes break the rules to do it.

But when tragedy strikes at Paradise, Sunny's left to make the decision about whether or not to honor a promise that Cole made to his grandmother about her life and her death.

Week 5 Review: Royally Lost

From Goodreads:
Dragged on a family trip to Europe’s ancient cities, Becca wants nothing more than to go home. Trapped with her emotionally distant father, over-eager stepmother, and a brother who only wants to hook up with European hotties, Becca is miserable. That is until she meets Nikolai, a guy as mysterious as he is handsome. And she unknowingly finds herself with a runaway prince.

Nikolai has everything a guy could ask for-he's crown prince, heir to the throne, and girls adore him. But the one thing he doesn't have...is freedom. Staging a coup, he flees his kingdom and goes undercover on his own European tour.

When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that draw them together. Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the while dodging his royal guard. But Becca's family vacation ends in a matter of days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye forever, will his destiny catch up to him, or will they change history forever?

My Review:
Oh, this was just a nice, fun book! Such a sweet romance, and such a great book, I really enjoyed it, because I mean, meeting up with a guy, over and over, at first, at random, the planned, and then with such great characters? I loved it!

Reading this book, was like reading a fairy tale, and yeah, that was fitting, because he is royalty, but modern day, what with Nikolai's concerns about his family and his kingdom, about expenses, and his family expectations, there was that.

And there was her family, her dead mom, stepmom, older brother, and dad, on a cruise trip around Europe, not really dealing with their issues, just like real people, that just added that touch of reality that made sure that we knew this was real, not imaginary!

Oh, did I enjoy their romance, it was so sweet, and then there was the skinny dipping incident, and how reporters took pictures, and the blow out from that, to the ending, which was just so sweet, meeting up again, after her mail and calls wouldn't go through. Just so good!!

I loved this book, and I'd happily read it again in a heartbeat!

Today's teaser comes from Royally Lost by Angie Stanton, page 14.

"Yes, but these streets are terrible. They should blacktop them like we do in the U.S."

Well, I think they're pretty significantly older, and that would be pretty bad to just blacktop them! What about you guys? Happy reading!
