Victoria In My Head ...Yay for some enjoyable reads. Victoria In My Head sounds like my kind of book, I mean a band named for a Pixies song? Love it! And it sounds fun. Just One Of The Boys sounds like a laugh. It does seriously make me want to rewatch She's The Man, I know it's a different sport in the book but it's the gif which did it. And Protected is one I'm seeing everyone reviewing recently, I had it on my TBR for ages and I began to forget why, everyone's reviews are now reminding me why.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-31100730638530864242017-10-08T16:39:37.074-04:002017-10-08T16:39:37.074-04:00Protected was a pleasant surprise.

The way the family was explored and how Hannah worked through all the emotional wreckage was great. I also thought there were so many excellent supporting characters.

This was a solid 4 too, because there were a lot of aww-shucks-sweet moments. Victoria was another adorbs book, and I think it's good that there are some books on the younger side of YA.

Sounds pretty powerful. Your comments about Katie are interesting and have me intrigued - wondering what kind of person she was.
