Favorite Booktubers

Image
I (obviously) love books. I also love YouTube. Luckily, there are fellow book-loving peeps making videos on the interwebz. These are my faves. #1: Christine Riccio ( polandbananasBOOKS ) Christine is hilarious. She makes fun book talks and cool sketchy videos. #2: Kat O'Keeffe ( Katytastic ) Kat is super sweet and has a bookshelf that is to die for. #2. Natasha Polis ( Tashapolis ) Natasha is a huge fangirl who understands my love of Jaime Fraser. #3: Sasha Alsberg ( abookutopia ) Sasha is adorable, has fun videos, and is in love with Scotland. #4: Jesse George ( jessethereader ) Jesse is a whole lot of fun in his videos. #5: Regan Perusse ( PeruseProject ) Regan is a college student and lover of historical fiction. ______________________________ I've been seriously considering joining Booktube for some time now, and I think I'm going to be making it happen soon. So, (if you want) you can subscribe to me HERE . -Kristen ♥

The Player  Round one begins...  Trina Clemons needed the money. Why else would she - the most organized, prepared student in school - spend the summer as a nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever?

A lot of it. But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret... About the Author:

But that’s kind of how Witness Protection works, and Em must prepare herself for an epic do-over as she starts a new life in the Midwest. Even as she pines for sandy beaches and the night life of the shore, the newly-named Ember O’Malley finds herself making new friends, taking photos for the high school newspaper, and thinking an awful lot about the paper’s editor, an oddly cute cowboy named Charles.

The last thing she needs is to be witness to another crime or call attention to herself. Besides, she finally has some real friends – well, real except for the fact tha
