Currently Reading Right Now

I have got some exciting books for everybody to review in the month of August! I am really excited for these books this month. Also, I think I am going to do Blogust, where I will write a blog post everyday in the month of August. The hardest thing will be thinking of things to review and write about. 
Currently Reading:
Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book—one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.

And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He’s a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He’s sure there’s more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom.

Delilah and Oliver work together to attempt to get Oliver out of his book, a challenging task that forces them to examine their perceptions of fate, the world, and their places in it. And as their attraction to each other grows along the way, a romance blossoms that is anything but a fairy tale.



I am reading the new Young Adult novel by Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha Van Leer called Between The Lines. It is a modern day version of a fairy tale where the one main character Delilah is trying to find a way for Oliver, the character in her favorite fairy tale that talks to her and vise versa, to get out of the book because he feels trapped doing the same thing over and over again. In this book, when a book is a closed, the characters have a life and like to do things that they want to do. Most of the characters do not have the same personality they have when the book is closed as they have when the book is open. For example, the villain is actually a really nice guy when the book is closed. 
So far, I like it. I have never read a Jodi Picoult novel but I do have The Pact on my To Be Read shelf. I can feel her style of writing but I can also really see her daughter's first time at writing a book's style of writing and it's pretty good. It is a really easy read so far, I am about a little more than halfway through the book and I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of the novel turns out. 
My thoughts on the cover-This is mainly the reason I am reading the book. I think the cover of this book is super cute. I can relate because I am often seen hugging an awesome book to my chest (minus the fairy wand, though I can't say I don't wish I had one) wearing a tank top and sweatpants. I also think this girl on the front is really pretty. 
Once I am finished with this book, there will be a review up for it. I also will be writing two more blog posts for tomorrow so look out for those!
See everyone tomorrow, 
Catie
