Book Recommendation

Looking for a good new book to read? Want to know one I'd suggest? Here's my Book Recommendation for this week.

Suite Scarlett, by Maureen Johnson.

First off, if you've ever read a book by Maureen Johnson, you know anything else written by her would have to be amazing. She's one of my top ten favorite writers of all time, so I knew I needed to suggest one of her books.

This story is centered around newly-turned fifteen-year-old Scarlett Martin, who lives in New York City in her family's own hotel, the Hopewell. It's a shabby shell of a former glamorous Art Deco-style haven, that gets the occasional guest now and then. Because of this, money's tight in the Martin family, but nonetheless, when each kid of the clan turns fifteen, they're expected to take over one of the suites in the hotel.
Scarlett doesn't expect much when she gets the Empire Suite, until a permanent guest and former "star" named Ms. Amberson moves in. Soon, Scarlett is taking to her every whim and running around the Big Apple trying to please her guest. But she'll also have to deal with figuring out her love life, helping her adorkable older bro' out, dealing with the complications of her older sister's life, and staying out of the way of the youngster of the family's prying ways.

I'm a total sucker for romances; everything I read has to have some type of love, the gushier the better. So let me say that this book was not lacking, but it wasn't over-the-top either. But it had funny parts (especially with Ms. Amberson in there), sympathetic parts, drama, love, and overall perfection. Maureen Johnson is such a skilled writer and entertainer; her books are by far the best ones out there (not to mention her creativity!)

Go find this book now, you will not be disappointed! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did <3.

60th Hunger Games

I unfortunately had to delete my story "The 60th Hunger Games" this past week. I'm very, very sorry to everyone who submitted a tribute and/or was the reading the story. I really didn't want to have to get rid of it, but if I wanted to continue my other stories, this had to be done.
The reasons for this are that I'm just too busy. Between getting homework done, doing my household chores, practicing piano, studying, and having a social life, I don't have a lot of time for writing, much less writing three stories. I mean, it took me more than a week to even get this posted. So out of all three, I decided to delete the one that I didn't have enough time for and enjoyed writing the least, which was the 60th Hunger Games.
Also, I had gotten some comments and messages regarding the story that made me think about it. One was from an author who had submitted a tribute, asking when I was going to update next because she was really enjoying the story. I didn't want to keep her and everyone else waiting for such a long time for an update, which would then probably be a crappy update because I rushed through it and didn't put much effort into it. Another comment I got was anonymous, kind of bashing my story I guess. That gave me just a negative feel to the story, and I didn't feel comfortable continuing it then.
Another reason is that for me it's hard writing two different Hunger Games stories. Coming up with scenarios and situations for PJ+FV and 60th HG was tough, and I feel that if I tried neither story would be creative or entertaining.
I have kept all the information on this story. I have the chapters that were posted and all the characters profiles, so if in the future I can continue it, I may. When I'm finished with PJ+FV I may be able to, or who knows, maybe I'll do something else with it along the way. I'm also willing to let someone else adopt the story if they wish (if you want to, please contact me! PM on fanfiction, e-mail, review), so please don't let your hopes down, because this isn't the last you've seen of this story!
Once again, I'm deeply sorry for having to do this. I apologize to everyone who read it and submitted a tribute. You guys were very nice and supportive of me, and you helped me become a better writer. But there are thousands of other SYOT stories out there, trust me, and you can submit your character to one of those also: I'm sure they'd be accepted, they were all amazing!
Thank you so much for understanding everyone. PJ+FV Chap. 9 will update very soon, I promise, and so will Glee Prompts :).
