And it would be awesome if I could borrow nook books, but I've got a ton I have to read already. If I ever have time for some extra books, I'll keep that in mind though! Thanks so much for the offer! You can borrow from me too even though my library isn't all that big yet and I don't really know how to quite yet. But I'm sure I can figure it out! Just let me know!Jessica (Peace Love Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12509259925429901884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688593041989276313.post-77719115474185646582011-06-25T12:25:55.744-04:002011-06-25T12:25:55.744-04:00Not that real life is super relevant to escapist r...Not that real life is super relevant to escapist rocom books, but the theme of going out with/sleeping with/making someone fall for you on a bet thing, is a weird theme to me. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed books based on this (I liked One Night that Changes Everything, the Ex-Games had this too, I think). I am also painfully aware that it would be a mistake to put anything past teenage boys in the area of relationships. Still, the idea that a guy would do this, just to be cruel, cool or whatev, seems odd, and a weird basis for a story. Shana Norris's new book, the Boyfriend Thief, has an even weirder bet, "I bet you can't steal my boyfriend while I'm away for the summer." C'mon, I loved Troy High, but what girl would really put that out, and what girl would accept it? Anyway, thanks for the review Jess, honestly I might still try it, because as weird as it is, I admit to liking this theme. Go figure! Hey, now that you have a Nook, I can lend you books if you like. Think about it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432724677442739790noreply@blogger.com
