After reading the first three Inheritance books I was desperately in need of something light and fluffy, well I found that light read in Maureen Johnson's Girl at Sea.
The only draw back to Girl at Sea is that it took half the book to get where I could not put it down. But once it did pick up, I was hooked.
I totally felt Clio's pain when she got stung by all of those jellyfish (having been stung myself). Although, it was painfully obvious who liked whom (just in case you haven't read it yet, I will not tell you who ended up with who).
I really wish that the cover had a picture of her tattoo (it sounded really cool looking).
Girl at Sea Has earned it way on to my (very long) list of books that I would like to have in my personal collection.
Girl at Sea receives 3 out of 5 cameo pendents.

Sounds good. Maybe I'll read it one day. I really want to read Devilish by Maureen Johnson, it sounds really good. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds alright, but I just don't like the light and fluffy stuff anymore. Cool back drop! o_O
ReplyDelete21: Thank you. I was getting kind of tired of the dots, so I changed it.
