Editor’s Pick: Just One Year by Gayle Forman

November 20, 2013 by Jessica 5 Comments

Editor’s Pick: Just One Year by Gayle Forman

  If you’re reading this review, I’m going to assume two things: first, that you’ve read the first book called Just One Day. And that you’re like me and obsessed about what-happens-after-he-opens-the-door ending of that book and couldn’t wait to get your hands on this followup. And you won’t be totally disappointed.

Heroines Who Rock: Attia from Incarceron

Imagine a living prison so vast that it contains corridors and forests, cities and seas.

Imagine a girl in a manor house…

Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill Publisher: Delacorte Books | 304 Pages | Buy It Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question.  It’s one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the—gasp—wrong guy. Straight-A junior Julia…

Editor’s Pick: Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

December 6, 2012 by Jessica 4 Comments

Editor’s Pick: Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty’s anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high. Seraphina Dombegh has…

Editor’s Pick: ‘White Cat’ by Holly Black

 Cassel comes from a family of Curse Workers – people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands.

August 9, 2012 by Jessica 4 Comments

Editor’s Pick: Gallagher Girls Series by Ally Carter

They sounded really, well, corny. But facing a long daily commute will change a girl, so I checked out the first audiobook…
