The Season by Jonah Lisa Dyer and Stephen Dyer!!

The Season by Jonah Lisa Dyer and Stephen Dyer
Viking/Penguin
July 12, 2016

Soccer star Megan McKnight thought she knew competition. 
That was before she became a debutante.
A soccer star with Olympic dreams, Megan can’t believe her socialite mother secretly entered her and her twin in the Dallas debutante season. Her bad attitude gets her on debutante probation: she’s got a month to prove she can ballroom dance, display impeccable manners, and curtsey like a proper Texas lady or she’ll get the boot and disgrace her family.  Trading her cleats for kitten heels, Megan waltzes into a full schedule of dazzlingly extravagant parties.  When she’s swept off her feet by the charming Hank Waterhouse, she starts to think being a deb might not be so bad (if only she didn’t have to contend with a backstabbing blonde and her billionaire boyfriend). But that’s before Megan finds herself in the middle of a media-frenzy-causing scandal, being humiliated in front of a dozen ten-year-olds, and getting punched in the face by another girl.
The season has begun…but the drama is just getting started.

Review!!

Emma: Ok.  Let me start by saying I don't write.  I mean I love words just as much as the next person, but typically only when they're handed to me and someone says "OMG YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!"  Which is basically what happened when I was introduced to THE SEASON, so woohoo!  Stick with me friends as I attempt to put my love for this book into writing.  I am a giant PRIDE AND PREJUDICE fan, so I was extremely intrigued by the concept of this book.  Add to that, the fact the Jonah Lisa Dyer herself came to our B/N store to deliver us copies, and I was sold right away.  I love a good misfit story, and goodness gracious this so did NOT disappoint!  I was hooked into Megan from the start, not your typical tomboy, but still rough enough that the concept of her in a cotillion dress produces a giggle.  I laughed the entire way, catching the subtle (and not so subtle) P&P plot lines weaving into life of modern day Dallas elite.   This book caught me so much, I even found myself YouTubing the "Texas Dip" and (GASP!) attempting it myself. (Side note, I failed abysmally, I was never meant to be a debutant apparently) Growing up in Wisconsin, I always thought the Texan life was so glamorous (I even moved here after college go figure!) and this book made that fairy tale come true.  I felt so at home with the characters that I, for a moment, felt as though I was a real life, native Texan.   This was such a great, happy, summer read.  I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, kick-ass book to remind them that in fact, you should NEVER mess with Texas women!

Kelsey: Wow! This is an amazing book! I could not stop giggling the entire time I read this book! If you love Pride and Prejudice, you will fall quickly in love with The Season! It's an older YA, so you need to keep that in mind while reading. The main character Megan is in college, so a lot of college related things happen! I loved so many things about this book. The writing and humor makes you want to hang out with either the main character (I wish!) or the authors who created her because it obviously has to come from somewhere! There are amazing come backs that will have you slapping your knee and laughing out loud. The love stories will make you swoon <3 I couldn't put the book down until I had every page soaked in, and I'm pretty sure I held the book like a child after! It will not disappoint!

Emma reviews: IT ENDS WITH US by Colleen Hoover

IT ENDS WITH US by Colleen Hoover The newest, highly anticipated novel from beloved #1  New York Times  bestselling author, Colleen Hoover. Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder wh...

Detective Kate Covington Series By Billie Reece

A Lullaby In The Dark A Southern Crime Thriller Ten years ago, a child serial killer—dubbed the Lullaby Man—confessed to abducting and murdering four young girls. Now in a maximum-security psychiatric hospital in East Tennessee, he’s visited regularly by Kate Covington, the detective who put him there, who won’t close the investigation until the remains of the first victim are found. Then a little girl goes missing while hiking in the woods with her dad, and Kate is called in to help. The evidence is chillingly familiar—the same photo of the girl’s tear-stained face, a letter with the same message, a smiley face, an old doll. Did they lock up the wrong guy? Is it a copycat crime? Or is something more sinister at play? Each turn of the investigation brings more questions than answers, and Kate and her team have limited time to figure out who kidnapped the girl. Is the real Lullaby Man about to claim his next victim? Review:   A great story of the trial of human nature. Fi...
