    Stephenie Meyer's electrifying "Twilight" novel will forever change the world's perspective on romance. Seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan has decided to move from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to the perpetually rainy town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie. Like her mother, Bella's never held a liking for Forks, and combined with the gossip sure to arouse from her being Chief Swan's ex-wife's daughter, doesn't expect much of life in such a small and green town. She's right: gossipy girlfriends, unwanted romantic pursuals, and intrigued teachers make for a more or less ordinary, and boring, high school year—until Edward Cullen disrupts Bella's life. Tall, porcelain-pale, and impossibly beautiful, Edward expresses at first disgust and later truly concerned feelings toward Bella. But when Edward's actions don't line up with human behavior as she knows it, Bella's perception of the world will never be the same.

    In the captivating sequel to Stephenie Meyer's bestselling "Twilight" novel, Bella Swan approaches her eighteenth birthday with bitter feelings. She doesn't permit presents from Edward Cullen, as she already feels his love is more than she deserves; is horrified when Alice Cullen tries to throw a blowout birthday party for her; feels disdainful at the thought that while Edward stays frozen in time, she must age; and all in all, deeply resents her birthday. Haunted by her fears of surpassing Edward's age, she begs Edward to make her a vampire, like him. But when Edward's reaction to protect her is like nothing she ever anticipated, Bella is left shocked, broken, and utterly alone. Months fly by. Her facade at staying calm in front of Charlie fails, she breaks ties with her classmates, and the hole in her chest increases by the day. But when she finally decides to revisit Jacob Black, whom she'd once pretended to flirt with to gain information about Edward, she finds her "own personal sun." Bella's healing process begins. Yet, Bella appears to be a magnet for trouble, and when Jacob holds a secret uncannily similar to Edward's superhuman state, Bella cannot deny the natural enmity beginning to brew.

    My parent purchased this book on my birthday and it was my favorite present of the day! Nikki Maxwell, against her better judgment, decides to host a huge luau-themed birthday bash by renting out the town pool. She plans all the little details with her enigmatic BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, and suddenly her party spirals into a huge blowout bash with a zip line, gourmet food, and the works. By the end, Nikki is actually excited about everything...just not the price. When her mom finds out that her planned party will cost about $500, she puts a stop to the whole thing and sets a budget of $100 to Nikki's party. $100?! That's barely enough for the food! Nikki's situation worsens as her mom continues to plan the party, adding belly dancers and a disgusting birthday cake filled with fifteen different foods, prepared by Nikki's little sister Brianna, to the mix. Can Nikki brave her financial issues, or will her birthday bash end with Pepto-Bismol and utter disgust?

    When Nikki started her band as "Dorkalicious," they were just a fun group of friends who played together a few times a week for the talent show. Now, they're dubbed "Actually, I'm Not Really Sure Yet" with a record deal with globally-renowned producer Trevor Chase! Nikki is thrilled, and even more shocked and excited with Trevor presents her with a reality TV show of her very own. She's able to pull one over MacKenzie while reaching national fame. Perfect, right? But it's not as as great as Nikki thinks. Suddenly, she has no privacy with Brandon, her friends, or her family. Every single embarrassing moment of her life is recorded, MacKenzie spreads rumors that juice up the show, and the producers urge her with cue cards to dish dirt on Brandon. Meanwhile, Brandon's family's finances are struggling, as well as an event for their band. Is being a member of "Actually, I'm Not Really Sure Yet" enough for Nikki, or will she continue the road to stardom?

    That's just the preview on DOGO Books. If you buy the real book, "Guts" ends very differently and will elaborate! It has much more pages than shown on here =)

    This dynamic mother-daughter writing duo cannot go awry! In this zesty first book of their new series, "Fashion Academy," MacKenzie dubbed Mickey is somewhat of an outsider - well, REALLY an outsider. If you don't sugarcoat it, people would say that her fashion sense is completely unconventional. But unconventionality makes her stand out, and Mickey is ecstatic when she is accepted into the Fashion Academy of Brooklyn! But when she has a begrudging mom, health-nut aunt, wacky best friend, insanely competitive enemy, and huge fashion competition coming up, Mickey realizes that the world of fashion is harder to make a name in than ever imagined.
