The Wild Rose by Jennifer Donnelly

London, 1914, women's rights, exploration, and World War I all circulate through the craving pages of The Wild Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. This book follows more closely to the intermingling lives of Willa Alden and Seamus Finnegan. In the early books of this trilogy  we followed more closely with Seamus's family, like his older sisters mad drive to vengeance and immense happiness, along with his older brothers way to sanity in a legal lifestyle. The Finnegan family has been through terrible tragedies in their youth of parental and sibling death, then fleeing their homeland for safety. But, that's not where their trouble ends, as Seamus grows up and becomes a renown explorer so does his childhood friend Willa Alden. She becomes a famous mountain climber always wanting to be the first to the top, but Seamus never imagined he would be up there with her. Or that the climb would not just be some physical feat but an emotional tug between them as well. But, because of their accomplishment on that mountain they lost what they had just gained, each other. Through this part of their lives they try to stay distant, never forgiving, in love or incidents. But through their many pains and history they help change the world while they themselves do as well. Growing together with their new families, and new misgivings.

Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer

Everyone's had that one character, right? Where your not just hearing thoughts and talks, but being talked too as well. What happens when its reversed, and the characters want to know your life. Or want to become a part of your life, out of their flesh holding chains which are pages. Well that's the life of Prince Oliver, who has played his role in the book millions and millions of times for any one person who opens his story. He never thought he would have the chance of anything different, let alone escaping. Until the day the book makes a mistake, and one dedicated reader discovers it. However, this one dedicated reader isn't a three-year old who loves the fairytale, but she's a high school junior named Delilah. She doesn't fit in at her school of rich spoiled brats, since she spends her days watching her mother slave over job after job for them to have a good life. So, she spends most of her time in books escaping the morality of reality, but when she found this book she became hooked. And when the book found Delilah, Prince Oliver became hooked as well. Prince Oliver was written as a character who has been protected by his mother all of his life because of his father's young death by evil hands, so he became a smart coward. But, that's not who the real Oliver is, so to speak, he is not scared or in love with his princess. Plus, he is most definitely not contempt with his life in this book, and with Delilah's help, they might actually make a jail brake. Even if Delilah wasn't so forthcoming to a talking illustration, she handles the situation well, and it takes both of their universes' to come up with ideas. Idea after idea, and back to the drawing board they work, and before realizing how perfect their world is becoming with the other one part of each others worlds, they get drawn closer and closer into the fairytale of their own.
