Perfect Scoundrels

Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it’s that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting—or stealing—whatever they want.

No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale’s family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother’s billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there’s no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won’t let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother’s will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company’s fortune. So instead of being the heir—this time, Hale might be the mark.

Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she’s willing to save her boyfriend’s company if it means losing the boy.

Can't wait!!

Psych Quotes

Postcard From Paris by The Band Perry

I remember when my heart caught the fever.

You were standing all alone in the summer heat.

I was with my boyfriend, my new boyfriend;

He was as sweet as he could be.

But one look at you and I was through

My heart switched up on me.

Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing.

It's like finding out your diamond is from her old promise ring.

A call back from your fortune teller, she read your cards upside down.

The meanest thing you ever did is come around

And now, I'm ruined.

In the evening you can catch me daydreaming.

Did that moment send you reeling just like me?

I should have gone over, right over.

I should have never let you leave.

But it's the never-knowing that keeps this going and drives me crazy.

Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing.

It's like finding out your diamond is from her old promise ring.

A call back from your fortune teller she read your cards upside down.

The meanest thing you ever did is come around.

Just when I thought things were alright,

My eyes play tricks on my mind, yeah.

Will I ever be satisfied cause all I ever seem to find is a...

Postcard from Paris, when I need the real thing.

It's like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring.

A call back from your fortune teller she read your cards upside down.

The meanest thing you ever did, the cruelest thing you ever did,

The meanest thing you ever did is come around.

I am ruined, yeah I'm ruined.

Now I am ruined, yeah I'm ruined

Book Review

This book I found at the library, Chickens in the Headlights, is such a fun read! I enjoyed it so thoroughly! I totally recommend this book if you enjoy reading all about a family of 7 boys growing up! Here is the synopsis:

What are a mother and father to do with SEVEN rambunctious boys under the age of eleven? For the Buckleys, the days are filled with running, yelling, food, wrestling, and burping-even through family home evening. Every night culminates in an epic bedtime battle.

When the school year ends, however, Mom and Dad decide to harness some of their boys' apparently inexhaustible energy and buy some goats and chickens for them to take care of. While they are initially thrilled with the "responsibility," the boys soon learn that it's far tougher-and far funnier for the reader-than it appears.

Book Review

So my dad, my little sister and I went to Costco for grocery shopping and, of course, I took a detour to the books and I found this book that I have really wanted to read and after some haggling I got it. The book I got is called Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. It was such a fantastic book! I finished it the day I got it and  I could not put it down! It reminded me of Pride and Prejudice a little bit, which I absolutely loved! Here is the synopsis:

Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she'll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.
From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will Marianne be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

 The cover for this book has finally be released! I am so excited for this book!!! October cannot come fast enough! Go Rick Riordan!

In The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six—who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?

The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land—Greece itself—to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophesy remains a mystery. . . .
