Similar book covers!

So, I was in Chapters the other day, and guess what I saw? No, sadly not a famous author, although that would be amazing. And not the manga I wanted either... but I did see two books with eerily similar covers!


















I admit, when I saw Flirting With Boys, I did a double take. I was like, Woooah. Haven't I seen that picture somewhere... oh yeah! That Deb Caletti book! XD What a coincidence that Lauren just finished reading The Secret Life of Prince Charming. If you want, check out her review here.


I find it kind of annoying, maybe not annoying, but ummm, I'll take Lauren's word: sad, when books have the same cover. They both just seem so much less original. Alright, guilty. I totally judge a book by its cover. On the plus side, at least the colouring is slightly different. And the title and text. I'd say I prefer Prince Charming, because you can see that they have their hands in each other's back pockets, which is so cute, while you can't in Flirting with Boys.

So that's pretty much all for today. I'm still reading The Resistance. I've actually been getting homework now, so I don't have as much time. I know, teachers right? You'd think they'd let us off easy close to the end of the year, but no. It's tests, summatives, exams, whoohoo! -_- Not so much fun.

Review by Lauren - The Secret Life of Prince Charming

amazon

I had mixed feelings about this book. The first half was slow. I was not interested at all. The book is about Quinn and her sister, Charlotte Sprout, who discover that their player of a father has been keeping items from all his old girlfriends - trophies in a sense. They decide to join up with the half sister they've met once to return them.

Yup. That's the book.

The guy shows up just past halfway too which didn't help the beginning at all. I will admit though, he was cute. I loved him for his short stay

I feel as though Deb Caletti is kindof a smaller version of Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever, This Lullaby...). The books have similar concepts, the average, flawed protaganist but Caletti's seem to not be quite as real. Her plots also aren't as intriguing as Dessen's.

That's just my opinion though.




















On a brighter note, I saw Star Trek and loved it lol.
Everyone thinks I'm nuts though :/
