Kennedy (Kenna) isn't known for her beauty. She's never been complimented on her appearance unless being called beautiful by your family counts, and to Kenna- it doesn't. Sick of being ignored because of her looks, Kennedy gives herself a makeover but it isn't very successful. After encountering a crying Marissa Rivers on the behalf of her obnoxious brother, Noah, she becomes acquaintances with the girl. After a chat about Kenna's failed efforts at makeup and how she's a nondrinker, she offers Kenna the help of her and her friends. Kenna graciously agrees but there's a catch. Kenna will have to be the girls' designated driver to the next few parties that they want to attend until she can do her own makeup which may take a while but what happens when Kenna accidentally gets drunk at one of the parties and Noah has to bring her and the other girls back to their home? She gets involved in a lot more than she planned. And it seems as if all she wanted was to become beautiful.

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." ~1 Peter 3:3-4 "Tu es belle, ma chère, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur." Aislyn Palmin is surrounded by beautiful people. Her mother is the owner of a successful modeling agency, and she works for renowned designer, Pierre Darling. But despite being surrounded by beauty, Aislyn doesn't feel beautiful herself. Linc Kingsman is gorgeous and knows it. People love him because he seems perfect on the outside, but the secrets he's hiding make him feel ugly on the inside. Insecurities, imperfections, and inadequacies abound within these two individuals. What does it take to look past these things, and discover the true meaning of beauty? [Quote translated by CMBooks]

Si girl ay isang simpleng babae lamang. Masiyahin, matalino, mabait, palakaibigan at higit sa lahat may pagka-isip bata ito. Almost perfect na sana eh kaya lang immature kung mag-isip pero huwag niyo siyang mamaliitin. Dahil once na mambara na siya. Naku! Umiwas o kaya magtago ka na dahil hinding-hindi ka niya uurungan. Si boy ay isang mayaman na lalaki pero hindi ito ang pinapangarap mong Prince Charming. Ito ay ubod ng sungit, mayabang, isnabero, tahimik, matalino ngunit sobra-sobra sa pagiging gwapo. Hindi man siya katulad ng mga Prince Charming sa mga fairy tales pero maraming mga babae ang nahuhumaling sa kanya. Babala! Wag na wag mo siyang ibabadtrip dahil once na mawalan siya ng mood sayo. Ayus-ayusin mo na ang pananalita mo dahil baka mapahiya ka lang sa pamimilosopo niya. Parehas silang mga walang kwentang kausap. Parehas nilang pinapahiya ang mga tao. Ngunit magkaiba ang ugali nila. Ang isa ay immature kung mag-isip samantalang ang isa naman ay matured. Paano kung magkrus ang landas ng dalawa? Paano nila kakausapin ang isa't-isa? Paano kung si girl ay binara si boy samanatalang si boy ay pinilosopo si girl? Matatapos pa kaya ang bangayan nila kung pareho nilang binabara ang isa't-isa? Sino ang mananalo? Si Ms. Pambara ba o si Mr. Pilosopo? Pero bago 'yon, simulan muna natin ang kwento when Ms.Pambara meets Mr. Pilosopo ©JamieeeBlue/05-13-14 *PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME*

Okie's fifteen. She lives in New York. She's got a few problems: she's failing geography, her dad's a wimp, and her mother, Sumatra, is a stone cold bitch. But things get a lot worse when Sumatra turns into a zombie and eats Okie's dad. Clio, Okie's grandmother, lives in Toronto; but since the zombie apocalypse, Toronto's a lot further away than it used to be. Clio suggests that Okie transport Sumatra across the border, because family is family. But coaching Okie by cellphone isn't easy, and Clio has some zombies of her own to contend with. Luckily she has some garden tools. Naomi Alderman and Margaret Atwood team up for this unusual two-hander. Encompassing love, death, sex, and the meaning of family, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home will surprise, delight, and convince you of the vital importance of keeping ready supplies of rhubarb and mini-wieners in your freezer at all times. The story unfolds beginning October 24.
